matt b 3,618 Report post Posted December 9, 2013 Springs stink, but some doors can still work w/o them (for a few days). We just replaced our garage doors, went belt drive on the motors since they're underneath 2 bedrooms: best decision ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyfishing3 3,297 Report post Posted December 9, 2013 Not even close We had too little being taken out. Now deducting at married no children, my bonuses do not have taxes taken out so that gets blasted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burn-E 5,093 Report post Posted December 9, 2013 Why? Such an easy fix. Because it means dealing with a very high tension spring. I'm willing to pay an expert a couple hundred dollars rather than put my life at risk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burn-E 5,093 Report post Posted December 9, 2013 Do people in Yonkers just not know how to drive or what? I've never seen a pile-up like this that wasn't in a movie: http://www.lohud.com/article/20131209/NEWS/312090016/Wintry-storm-causes-24-car-pileup-injuring-30-Bronx-River-Pkwy-Sunday-night-roads-remain-icy?nclick_check=1 24 car pile-up injures 45. I'm not surprised by the number of cars or the number of injuries, what amazes me is how the cars are piled high on top of each other. It's like Magneto went crazy. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fudge_Brownie 3,137 Report post Posted December 9, 2013 What is it called when a company sells two products as the same, or extremely similar model, but one is better than the other? Company X sells Product ABC in their brand-store. It is high quality. Target also carries Product ABC, which despite seeming identical, is lesser quality.I always thought it was called B-Stock. But googling, people seem to use that term for what I'd call scratch-and-dent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyfishing3 3,297 Report post Posted December 9, 2013 i used to sell Stanley Bostich air guns, the ones sold through dist. had metal innards, higher quality and more money. the ones sold at the BOX stores looked the same but plastic guts. i've heard DeWalt does that also.
