I would stay away from Jenn air. I am on my second 36” range, and wall oven in a 6 year old house.
I have a Lem 3/4 hp. It grinds at whatever pace yku want to go. I’ve never had an issue
Currently looking into building a barndo on our new property. It sure doesn’t appear to be a cheaper route.
If you do count the “ ot” on the last 4 hours of each shift then yes some of us are. Without coming into work and refusing all offered overtime it is true at some places.
I’ve lived that life. It’s for real. 18 hour days. 5am-11pm and Vice versa. As many as we wanted. Busted 100 hours a week many times in my young days.
Not really. At $55 per hour $190k can be reached with less than 500 hours overtime with built in holidays and overtime the last 4 hours of each shift.
Unless it’s a top engineer/ management level engineers don’t make that much.

Can I get your contact info?
My experience with glass is a pain to keep clean. I used to squeegee the one we had after every shower. It did keep it looking great and small shower squeegees are cheap. When we built our new home I built a shower area big enough where I didn’t need a glass door. It’s just a wide open space to walk into. Best decision ever I feel.

Go much bigger than you think you will need. Guns with scopes eat up a lot of space. Also take into consideration if you will ever inherit guns possibly from a family member. My 30+ liberty filled up really quickly with the addition on my dads guns.

I have a Hoshizaki. Holds 40lbs in the bin. It’s also 5 years old with no issues. 40 lbs works pretty well for me. Fills the ice chest with the drinks and also enough for the fish ice chest or enough to almost half way fill up a 100qt ice chest for deer hunting. If I’m looking to fill up the 100qt to the max I just load it a day or two before we leave and top off before I leave.

I have a gator Trax I had built with a 37 gator tail. Fully customizable and I’m sure can find some used as well. I have a 17x54 with hunt deck. Love the boat.

I may take you up on that offer. It appears you are in hammond. I’m in ponchatoula. We just put the land under contract and will be moving forward soon.

Barndominium

Currently tossing around the idea of building one. Pros, cons? I’m thinking I can purchase the building itself and give an architect the measurements and have the inside designed how we want it? Anyone have any experience with the process? Thanks!
I had a 6x12 single axle for years with a 4 wheeler. No issues. Recently bought a SxS and I took up pretty much the whole trailer. No room for stands and other stuff we usually bring to the camp. I upgraded to a 7x16 with with removable front rails for side loading. I plan on getting my son a 4 wheeler in the next year or two. The tandem axle pulls so much better. Really noticeable. Ofcourse it is heavier. I only toe about 40 minutes from the house.
Bought the wife a gv80 4 months ago. She loves it. Looked at the X-5 and yku really get more with the Genesis at the same price. It’s definitely up there with luxury vehicles even though it’s a Hyundai. They had a 1.9% rate when we bought. Looked at a good bit of other brands and we wanted a 6 cylinder which narrowed down the choices. Ultimately it was decided on the interest rate. BMW, Lincoln, Acura, etc were around 5-7%

Any suggestions for a tripod for a 10 year old to shoot off of in a box stand? Thanks

I have a Hoshizaki which holds 35-40 lbs of ice. No complaints, it’s 6 years old and it’s located in the house. It was $1600 which I know is above your budget. More less just recommending the brand.
Dayummmmm I know I paid $1600 3 years ago for 35” ridge grapplers. Geez I’m not ready for that price!!
