Sister's party is going to get loud later.

Start by gently pulling up on the glass as you raise it. Might need an extra hand to operate switch and use 2 hands to gently pull up evenly on the window. Some of those windows are just in weak plastic clips, so don't pull hard or you can pull the window out/ off the track. Next, try...

Then I've got a dozen cans of almost water waiting on me.

I'm just getting caught up, but just bring it to my house tomorrow.

Eh, $30ish Igloo is fine with me. Ours are all old and pretty filthy. I mean, i clean them, but they never look clean.

I think I'm going to buy a new (read: clean) cooler before we go on vacation. I'm finding out that "reasonably priced" isn't a thing with coolers these days. I just need something to take food to Florida, not keep ice for 2 weeks.

Wish I'd known... I've got a jig and hand sized router that makes hinges easy.

I got 2 today. One looks nearly new. The other is pretty rough. Not as rough as the one you posted, but big chips out of the blade and heavy wear. Still a good knife for $10. Thanks @Red Squirrel 556 ! I'm going to try to make a set of wood grips. If they work, I'll make a pattern...

Oh, yes. We'll find problems. Then the customer questions us when they find out how much it costs to fix... "but it looks fine to me"... then why'd you hire me?

And.... here's another case of people not wanting to pay the bill. If they have that structural study done, any engineer will find lots of problems.

Holy crap... this is the first I've heard of that. Sounds about right though... nobody wants to pay the piper.

Is like when you don't patch your leaking roof and a few years later you have to replace the roof, framing, and floor due to wood rot. Concrete is great, but remember that water can dissolve mountains.

I've inspected a lot of concrete structures over the years... that one was likely not maintained, located right by salt water, and the rebar corroded. Eventually the reinforcing was damaged to the point that it just failed. There were signs before it happened. A lot of the damage was...

That's my favorite! But once, cry less.

I once brought in a long skinny "transit tripod" case because my "my boss said not to leave anything expensive in the truck"

I'm crying! That's an awesome story.

It sprinkled a bit. Really hard to see in the second picture, but that honda was about to get water up to its headlights.
