Tried a drug called Lidocaine today. Its a gel to numb skin, as i have a lump that needs to go

Well it didnt work very well, even after i applied 2 doses. Its so very hard to inflict pain on yourself but i managed a needle in my wound and felt like i was scraping out a pumpkin. Still i got no results and the pain became too much.

So i just tortured myself today and wasted $20 lol. Guess ill have to bite the bullet n see Dr Graham from Chisolm,Minnesota (my dr is old)

Shitty dude , better yet?

Fixing a skylight that got blown up in hail , it's about 8'x10'.. silicone holding the sides and bottom of the glass , yes real glass,sharp edges and all. It sucks trying to cut the bottom from the top so I made a tool, long handle to try to keep my hands , wrists clear of sharp wrist slashing glass , I can hammer it along if needed and there is a left and right side , all from scrap and 15 mins of cutting /welding ,will save hours if it works. The skylight is more like a greenhouse

I bought one of those electric fireplace cabinets today. Im sure this is going to be fun putting together. Idle hands anyways

 

[HansonBro]

K so i spent an hour just opening this box and doing inventory and putting garbage away. Love the look of the "wood" btw. And as im taking the box apart, im thinking where is the remote controll?

Knowing the fireplace itself was still in its own box, i thought fine...makes sense...it'll be in there. Nope!

So how the F do I use this thing? Plug it in everytime i wanna use it??? Im lost

Now im just pissed off. No remote, no thermostat, no timer. Its just got buttons for half heat (750 watts) or full heat (1500 watts).

This is for my bedroom btw. I know full well im gonna be passing out using this, so its just a fire hazard at this point. At no point in time do I need constant heat

So ya im a bit bummed about that $300 purchase

Funny you bring that up, since I just bought one a few weeks ago (the tool). Bought the tool and a spare pack of bits $40 can. It's a Rigid. I wouldn't say I was overly happy with the bits, but we got through it. Tool seems fine but has a weird way to change the bits. Think it has a lifetime warranty, so that's a bonus

I can't comment on your Milwaukee bits but I know what it's like to find something you prefer at your price point.

As for tool preferences I kinda got stuck on Dewalt by default as my bud works there. Once you invest in 10+ batteries you're kinda stuck lol.

If I had to rank tools

#1 Stanely tape measures. Would never think of using anything else

#2 Makita brad nailers.

#3 Bostich roofing nailers/flooring nailers

#4 Bosh SDS max hammer drill/jack hammer

That's about all I prefer and wouldn't use less of. Maybe Lennox bits for sawzalls. After that I guess I don't care as long as it's not Ryobi

Sound fun, here mine...

#1 Makita belt sander

#2 Snap-on wrench kit

#3 Klein Plyers

#4 Dewalt Portable Sliding Saw and saw bench

#5 SawStop Non portable Saw bench

#6 Milwakee Powertool
