It’s pretty much an above ground pool that you sink into the ground, but have 4 foot ish walls around it. The deep end is dug deeper and has maybe a two inch slab and walls. You then install a linear over it which can be 32 mm thick.

I’ve had this setup for years, except mine doesn’t have the rack next to it. It’s been good for me. Did about 100 chicken wings using it for Super Bowl one year. Also have done fish fries. The burner also works well for wok frying or searing steaks on a cast iron skillet.

I’ve done reverse sear with sous vide steaks on it. I just rotate the pan 1/3 of the way around every 45 seconds and then flip. Steaks come out perfect.

Just got a check from the state of California for $4700. I didn’t have to submit any documents, but my wife needs something proof of address with her name on it. We lived in California for a couple of years and it looks like a class action lawsuit was filed when we worked there. Her claim is for about the same, but we lived there over 10 years ago. Trying to sift through old emails for a copy of a receipt or something.

First got the notice we had unclaimed money from some PI firm. They wanted ~$500 to help us claim it, but after a quick search I found out you can just go to the states lost money website yourself.

My generator is not 8 ft from the meter maybe 3-4 feet at the most. I had a site plan drawn up and submitted to the parish for approval and they didn’t give me any trouble. I ran pipe from the meter along my walk and flexed it to the generator. Permit was approved and inspected by the parish without problems. Haven’t had any performance issues either. Ran through the ice storm 2 years ago without problems.

I had transfer switch installed when building and the meter was installed next to power when we built because I knew I would eventually install a generator. I ran gas myself and had a guy that installed generators hook up the wires once we were ready to install the whole unit. All permitted and inspected. Hope that helps. I guess it all depends on where you live for requirements.

If you’re looking for tools or specifically anything that Vevor makes, you can usually find it on Temu for a lot cheaper than Amazon or the Vevor website. Sometimes the pictures will have Vevor in it too.

I’ve tried this and yields same results as using the tractor supply stuff. Maybe I’m not spraying enough. Also it didn’t seem to be a cheaper option for me.

All my research says get a Bambu printer because it’s best plug and play. Makerworld is the website that has pretty much all the files you want to print.

Another poster said it and I’ll second it. The Elegoo Carbon seems to be a replica of the Bambu equivalent, but the software isn’t the same. Plenty of good YouTube videos to walk you through either printer.

I bought the Elegoo for my son that’s 7, and very happy with it so far. Your kid likely won’t know the difference between the two brands, because they only care about the end product. It comes down to what you want you put into it.

$100-$200 or even $500 doesn’t necessarily make a better end product, it comes down to how much effort you want to put into it.

I like to figure things out so I went the Elegoo route and took the difference in price to buy more filament. My son has waken up everyday and won’t go to sleep because he wants to see what is printing. He doesn’t care what it is, just that something is printing.

Good luck with whatever you choose, but it’s worth it because your kid will love it. Don’t know how old you are but I remember when we got the internet and a color printer at home and it was all I was obsessed about once we got it. Your kid will feel the same way.

These shelves are easy to build, pretty cheap, and sturdy.

My daughter is 9 and son will turn 7 tomorrow. They have always woken up before us in the mornings. It was aggravating at first, because they would wake us up. I look at it as a blessing now. In the last year or so they get themselves ready for school and make themselves breakfast. I can sleep in till the very last minute and not have to worry about getting up early to get them going.

My daughter even feeds and lets the dog out so I can sleep in on the days the wife has to leave early for work. She doesn’t realize it or doesn’t want to accept how mature they are, but I don’t have to do anything in the morning for them except take them to school. She always worries that I can’t handle it on the days she leaves before all of us are up. ????

The in home evaluations can be either good or bad. Guess it depends on your health and situation.

As someone else mentioned it does include an evaluation of your socioeconomic status to see if you need any help. So for the elderly living alone, a social services consult could be placed to help with safety in the home, but also things like transportation or assistance with paying for meds and food.

Could be bad, I guess because there is a review of your medications and any diagnosis that has been claimed or filed. The evaluator will either confirm, deny, or defer each diagnosis, medication, or claim.

Then there is a quick physical exam, which may or may not confirm a new diagnosis.

It’s another set of eyes on your health and it depends on who gets sent out to do your evaluation. Also, some people qualify for in home testing of different diseases.

Lastly some instances offer gift cards for your time anywhere from $25-$100.

Can’t recommend a specific brand, as I’ve gone from a Ryobi jobsite to a Laguna cabinet saw, but I think you can’t go wrong with any of the jobsite saws that have a rack and pinion fence. Those fences will be more accurate and easier to stay dialed in versus the cheaper clamp fences on jobsite saws.

Second thing I would recommend would be to use an 8ft level clamped up against the fence to help make long cuts of needed and you can actually joint boards this way if you stock doesn’t come jointed and parallel to each other.

Also there are a bunch of videos on YouTube to modify/make infeed and outfeed support which corrects some of the problems with the smaller table size of jobsite saws.

I guess it all really depends on how anal you are about the finished product and how much effort you want to put into making the jobsite saw work almost as well as a cabinet style table saw.
