*** Its not as bad as the title sounds dont be scared ***

 

Well last week I decided to take a new job. It was the hardest decision of my life. I feel the opportunities here outweigh anything. The pay is less but I feel ill be happier. I have lived in the same place for 25 yrs (my whole life). I am moving appx 200 miles/2.5 hrs away to Indianapolis, IN. I am currently looking for a home. I found an awesome one at a good price. I start after the 1st of the year. In case I am not around much this is the reason.

As far as the lot I received my deposit back. They wanted to much to build the home I wanted ($230K). So that decision was made prior to the new job

 

As far as the house I am looking at it is listed at 159K. 3 car garage is awesome only downside I could live with is no basement

What will you be doing at your new job? When I graduated college I had to take a job 3.5hrs away in the Pittsburgh area, but it was the best decision I've made.

I was going to ask about the basement.

 

 

 

 

 

You guys would hate it here...With the exception of houses that were built prior to the 50s (guesstimate)...There are no houses with basements.

 

I think you can have one if you custom build, but the building codes for them are extremely cost prohibitive.

 

Something to do with groundwater, I believe.

 

And don't worry Ryan...You'll run out of space in that 3 bay just as easily as a 2 bay, it just takes a little longer. :dupe:

 

Congratulations man :cheers:

I'm currently looking into my options for a storage shed/workshop in the backyard. Zoning, and easements are a PITA around here. We wont even get into what the neighborhood associations rules are.

 

But my 3rd bay space is pretty much filled with lawnmowers and associated equipment, ATVs, tools that are on wheels (I put casters on everything possible), and storage shelves. Essentially I have two bays for parking left, although it's pretty difficult to get both my trucks in there as I have every inch of wall-space taken up with tool bins, and workbenches.

 

Invest in a lot of lights, they will save many a headache from straining. :cheers:

 

I have 12 4' fluorescent lights, two incandescents, and two droplights up there...They were a PITA to put in, but I still feel like I need a bit more at times.

Haha, I'm almost confident enough to say, "You ain't seen nothing yet." I think I've got outlets about every 4-5 feet it seems. I want to say I've got 6 boxes down 1 wall and 7 down the other...garage is slightly less than 24x24. :cheers:

Congrats! Change is good, Just not the most liked thing at the time but once you get into a groove things will smooth out.

 

Yea basements are great. I miss having one. Grew up in Pa with one. Here in eastern NC if you want one you have to build a two story house and back fill the first story. Then BINGO you have a basement! :cheers:

 

3 car garage, nice. I can't wait till mine 2 car is finished. I got some work to be done on the 65 Impala and the car port just doesn't cut it.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
