This Am. heard a crash in garage, yep spring busted…...

This one sucks big time. It's a job I won't even contemplate touching.

What did you do Mike, pick up a cursed twenty?

Worse - he accepted a tax deduction.

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.

Shit I'm embarrassed to say how much we owed

[Burn-E 5,093]

Better to owe than to pay. But it sounds like Chuck is right, you're living the 1% dream aren't you Mike?

Why? Such an easy fix.

[flyfishing3 3,297]

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

[Burn-E 5,093]

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.

[flyfishing3 3,297]

boom,

dude was here and gone.

220.00 for labor and a new Heavier duty spring.

well worth it to me.

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:

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.

I watch too many vines......

I'm trying to order some bubble pouches for shipping and all I can think is bubble butt bubble bubble bubble butt.

Meh. It's really not a big deal.

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.

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.
