EWC88

Congrats Mrs Peel!!

Yea he was telling me how the ecoboost are nice for a short period but otherwise to much to go wrong in a long period, espically the turbos. He did mention how they have seen more of the ecoboost then the v8, just a proven simple motor. He didn’t hate on the eco just only recommended for short time.

^ if having to finance is cheaper I will and the first payment would be the first/last payment lol. While at ford today for the gfs escape I talked to a Forman mechanic. Went over the motors with him and he said if I’m buying and plan to keep then v8 all the way. It’s leasing or trading in after 2-3 years then ecoboost. But will give a test drive on both the v8 and 3.5 tnsee what feel I like better.

Good advice guys thank you! I am prepared to walk away, I will be going to 3 different ford dealers to see, all 3 different states so I shall see!

Looking at doing a 2018 Ford f 150. Color choices I am picking are ones they should have (silver, black). I’ll be stopping at one tomorrow to see what they say, and then my dad will be calling another ford dealer by his business that we deal with.

That’s what I was thinking $10k coming off but wasn’t sure. Will be reaching out to couple dealerships letting them know what I want and I’ll be paying cash so what’s best deal.

What would you expect to save off the msrp if you were going buy a new truck in full?

Don’t want to hijack but this had me thinking how I want to replace my two garage door openers. Nothing wrong besides the fact they are loud as hell! Looked online I see the chain or belt driving, what is better? Also what brands do people recommend?

I believe 1 shotgun and 1 pistol, I’ll find out for sure.

No nothing bad on why lol...A friend of mine asked me because I have been shooting longer then him (he just started) and he didn’t know. Something is going on currently dealing with family so that’s why. He didn’t know if someone could store for him, or if he would have to see if paying a LGS rent to store it.

I tried googling but that turn to crap real fast, so I came here. Are there any certain rules or what not on storing your guns at a different house location then yours?

Truck that is going is a 02 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7. Has a 4.5” lift with Fox shocks, flow master exhaust, powerchip, running on 35’s. Engine currently has 146k and been running good. Had the arch panels repair, rocker panel, and bottom corner of bed do to rust, and then the lovely heater core issue nonstop..

I like my dodge, yes somethings annoyed me like the damn heater core going every year ($1k+ job), and the lovely rust above fenders and inside doors, oh and yes the dash cracking and seat flaw sucked too lol. Motor ran pretty good though. Ford I’ve always liked as well which is why I am looking at them too. No Toyota for me though, not a fan of the body at all.

I believe it is time for me to get a new truck. My current dodge runs fine, but things keep going here and there and I’m not sure if it’s going be worth always putting money into it. So as title says, I am looking at another dodge or ford. I will be doing test drives this upcoming week to see how both drive. Curious what your guys thoughts are on both brands. I hear mix reviews on the ford V6 motors, haven’t heard much on there v8’s.

I’ll havw to find those vents. zeke I know! I am, my next issue to fix is calling around to see who will take up my patio and level and reinstall pavers. There’s low spots which is causing efflorescence in that area in the basement...lovely

No signs of mold. Crawl space floor is concrete, walls are cinder blocks.

My concern with the foam, if you are referring to “Great Stuff” in aersonal, mice can just chew their way through.

Hey guys, have yet another house hold question. Other day I decided to clean out the nasty crawl space. While in there I noticed I have two vent plates. One was close the other was open. Now also while noticing this I saw that the one is loose and needs to be held in better to prevent critters. When googling what’s the best was to hold vent up I came across links to people having mix reviews on vents. Some said to disregard and have permanently shut while others said they are smart. So what are your thoughts?

Yea I'm going to wait on burning bush, want to see it get that red color. The weeping tree we will keep natural just selective trimming. Need to get all the branches under that have zero growth gone.

I'll wait till spring that's not problem, glad I asked cause I had no clue about those plants and didn't want to kill them!

Sweet thanks for fast response. The burning bush, after the leaves fall off how much would you recommend to trim, 25%? Weeping cherry the girlfriend likes the natural look. Our neighbor has one that looks like a mushroom to me. I figured to trim it to clean some of the random branches shooting off in weird directions, and also because there are several beaches underneath that look dead (no leaves).

Need to do some fall trimming around house. Need help with two pieces, no clue what they are and how to trim, as well as how much. Here's picture of them: https://imgur.com/a/mNbnj

Yes when you open doors (from outside) you step in and go on the first wooden board of the step. Lol hey I hope that is all of what is wrong, got a deal on the house because people passed away (young age sadly) and the brother who inherited it lived in Buffalo NY and just wanted it gone.

I'll try the clay soil option then layer with more rock...fingers crossed with this

Haven't found those two yet, and hopefully not lol. I will agree with you and love finding them and owning. I'm a big animal/nature guy so seeing any animal in the wild is awesome. The girlfriend freaks out here and there, but when I showed her that little guy and then she looked at my BP she was like "ok that's not that bad" lol.
