Home Remodel: Do, Don'ts, Advice

[old goat]

There's nothing at all special about the Fein except that it had the patent so was the only player for a long time. See, e.g., the Festool Domino.

I rock an oscillating tool that I got at Harbor Freight and in the sad pantheon of Harbor Freight power tools, this thing is a superstar, and you'd have to be a fucking moron to pay a premium for a tool that does nothing but oscillate.

Some people will pay a premium for a tool that goes in and out and vibrates though.

Good lord.

Don't get your dick stuck in your Festool vac, my man.

Indeed.

If it does, would you trust a Fein or Harbor Freight oscillating tool to cut off the hose?

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Indeed.

Reminds me of when Kink.com posted a job listing for facilities manager for their SF studio building. You had to be able to take care of all the building systems, build giant fuck machines and be cool with what they did. Sounded like an awesome job.

[RootSkier]

The clean-up is a bitch, though.

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

They pointed that out. The company truly deserved an award for honesty in advertising, they laid it all out in the job listing, in more ways than one.

It was a sad day when they moved and you no longer got to imagine the depravity occurring in the building across the street while you got your car smogged at the arco

Somewhere out there on LinkdIn someone has a phenomenal bullet point under experience

probably a Burner who builds art machines too, right?

I would like to point out that my wife has never needed an oscillating tool to remove badly laid tile. She does it right the first time. Nor has she ever needed a tool that goes in and out or vibrates. I do it right the first time.

Your post perfectly captures a place and time.

Need some ideas....

Next project is a NG firepit in the yard.

My idea is to find some sort of cool container or reclaimed something to drop a NG firepit insert into. The pit needs to be semi moveable due to our small yard, I'll run a gas whip from my BBQ stub. If it didn't need to move I would just build a pit with masonry matching the pavers and call it a day...

Looking at DIY because all the prefab firepits either A) Look like shit or B) are $2000.

I plan on dropping by the local building salvage to try to find something cool for this pit... but if the collective have seen any good ideas I'm all ears...

Depending on size either a cut off washing machine drum or old steel tractor wheel. Looks like you can make it as fancy as you want. http://www.patio-supply.com/blog/out...s-little-as-0/

Thanks but trying to be classier than the average double wide...

But we used to burn our 30pack boxes in one of those in college!

Sometimes I error a little too far towards shabby when it comes to shabby chic.

Ah, fancy. You want something with a built in cooler, right this way sir:

[RootSkier]

That's pretty solid right there.

[Timberridge]

Hey honey, these hamburgers taste like shit.

[John_B]

And all you have to do is flush the cooler at the end of the night to put out your fire.

because you can't up with something better than a toilet grill all by yourself?
