Get you one of these kits and do it yourself for cheap. How much was the quote? I did an 80' run to my shop for $500 including all the fittings and renting a trencher to burry myself. YOu could easily dig around the house if it is a short run.

Something to consider (that I did not) is the temperature range of the oven. My oven regretfully only goes down to 250 degrees and I wish I had the ability to go lower.

we had to put in a new engine at 30k miles


:spank: This is the reason todays cars suck, people excusing something as big as an engine going out on a 80k+ vehicle at 30k miles.
Wow, the airports are allowing AirAsia and Emirates to bypass TSA and Air Traffic Control!?
I don't think you would cause moisture doing that at all. I think the moisture issues come up when you try to insulate the ceiling in the attic, but I digress. I am not an insulation expert.
If you know for a fact that the cavities are full up to the plywood board i would thing this would be fine; otherwise, blowing in to fill would be first priority.

Typically, the bank won't release funds until you request them. You won't owe them anything/accrue interest until you request funds to pay the contractor.

re: Best price on GM pickup in Louisiana

I have had to replace transmissions in both of my silverados (2007 and 2017) at 130k and 103k miles respectively. Every person I know that had the 2016-2019ish model had to replace their transmission between 56k miles and 130k miles. My buddy with a brand new GM has had his truck in the shop for a few months already for transmission issues.

Im not saying what truck to buy but just offering that up.
Thanks, I am thinking I need to get back to walmart and buy the rest of the bars/chains :lol:

Help with Chainsaw Chain/Bar Sizing

Posted by Tadey on 10/14/25 at 12:34 pm
I have a Husqvarna Rancher 450. Recently in Walmart, I found a pile of Oregon brand chainsaw bar and chain packages on clearance for $2. I bought 4 even though my chainsaw wasn't explicitly listed on the compatible saws on the packaging. I figure for $8 I would just buy and figure it out later; it would be real nice to have a stack of disposable chains/bars.

Once i got home I noted that the Husqvarna chain is identical to the Oregon chain I purchased for pitch and gauge, but the chains have different number of drive links (Husqvarna has 80 and the Oregon has 78).

Based on my research, as long as the pitch and gauge are the same, my saw should be able to run it (sprocket/chain interface should be the same). I am not sure how they can have the same pitch, be 20" bars, but be a different number of drive links?

My assumption is that as long as I change bar and chain to the Oregon bar and chain I should be able to run them with no issue. I am guessing is the only difference is the two bars are slightly different lengths accounting for the same pitch and just slightly more/less drive links.

Can anyone confirm this for me?

She went online. It does not tell you why the flag is ther, but tells you you have to call the number to pay the flag and get the registration renewed. She cannot get anyone on the phone; she has an appointment today at the local OMV office to try and figure it out.
My sister got a flag for an expired registration tied to a car she has never owned the other day.

Also, my wife went to renew her registration last week and it says there is a flag on her license so she can't but no one will answer the phone at the OMV.

Soooo... wtf are you supposed to do?
Man, just stop feeding him and he will lose hundreds of pounds... at least until he can get up to go get more food on his own.

Good video but leave the nests up afterwards. They are territorial and usually wont build another nest next to an existing one. It has seemed to work for me.

It is a Japanese movement I believe.

The point is it is a quality watch for the price point.
