  1. It wasn't raising a header for a garage, but I recently had my standard 72" sliding patio door replaced with 17' 4 panel slider.  What the did was build a temporary wall inside the house just longer than the door was wide to hold the roof up.  Then cut out the old headers, plural because the new door also took out a piece of the wall where a 96" window was, and installed new studs and header. 

  2. While searching for a shop to do the LS swap on my brothers C-10 I was kinda surprised to find the shops had relatively low rates, under $100.  This was at full custom hot rod type shops.  Didn't matter whether it was fab or mechanical.  I had some work done to my TBSS recently in PHX and Vegas, they were both around $100/hr.

    I'll check out the free charging station in the off-site parking structure at work, which is a 10 minute walk from my office each way. Not bad, but it's Boyle Heights in East LA and not a place for a guy like me to be on the streets at 9:30 pm and again at 5:30 am. The things I'll do to live green and save the planet...

    What?!  Wikipedia makes it sound like a great place to visit.

    Boyle Heights, historically known as Paredón Blanco,is a notable and historic Chicano/Mexican-American neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, located east of the Los Angeles River. Boyle Heights is known as a bastion of Chicano culture, hosting cultural landmarks like Mariachi Plaza and events like the annual Día de los Muertos celebrations.

    :dunno: ....he is a bright guy....aren't all the bright guys "touched".

    My neighbor just got this entire roof / solar / wall panel setup a few weeks ago. I swear it took more then 2 weeks for a 2200 sq foot house.

    The black panels look weird to me, no birds land on it anymore...I can see the heat sizzle of it in the afternoons. I could no doubt fry an egg on it. :lol:

     

    He also has a Tesla...maybe i'll go drink his beer and listen to how great it is next time he is in the garage.

    Two fold bonus.  No more F'n pigeons, and the heat load is no longer on his roof.

    Solar power stuff is a bonus.

    What he said and your to slow to understand is :lol:  your lights out in under 10, if you can realize your in a choke hold, stick your hand in your pocket grab a lighter pull it out light it and hold it for 1.2 seconds in less then 10 seconds total your probably enough of a bad ass to not get yourself in said choke hold. 

     

    But in your case I would carry a lighter in both the left and right front pocket.

     

    Don't forget both front pockets in your flannel.

    The lighter trick only took 1.2 seconds. Yes, I believe she got shiny new silver bracelets an her own holding cell. I hope she has a good lawyer!

    A legit choke hold takes less than 10 seconds to lights out.  Most would fumble around with the fight long before lighter would be thought of. 

    Carry a knife, stab them in the Femoral.  They'll be too busy dying to worry about you.

    My neighbor had a 66 with a small block and a 4 speed.  When he retired he went and bought a 2006.  He said he can't even drive the 66 any more, because the 06 is just SOO much better in every way.  After much debate, he sold the 66 a couple of months later.  

    Did he have to conjure up Einstein from the dead to figure out that 40 years of tech innovation might make HUGE differences in a car?
