  1. Well......I can see opnions of this vary, and everyone is entitled to their own. After all opnions are like assholes. Anyway, to clarify some of the issues...........Yes the guy is a Former Marine who was not active @ the time of 9/11. He was living in NYC and went to the site to help on his own, he DID help locate and save 2 PAPD members. As far as the movie they knew of the person, but didn't know who he was, he knew nothing about the movie and had not came forward about what he had done. To me it just seems like the guy was just doing what he thought was right and wanted to get on w/ his life. As for the house.........him and his wife and 5 kids moved to Whitehall after 9/11 and he does work as a security guard downtown (i'm sure the pay isn't the greatest). They had bought the house, and after living in it found many issues w/ the house (I've seen first hand). Support beams are not tied into the house floors are giving way, staircases are spliting in half, cabinets are falling off the walls, the floors sag when people are on them etc. etc. He has tried to repair what he can, but more issues arise (remember the movie Money Pit!). The builder of the home which will go unnamed...... builds alot of cheap homes w/ poor quality in the area. The house will be torn down today and the reveal will be sunday. It will be a 3600 sqft home built by M/I / Showcase homes. The picture above is the house, but the house as it sits has different colors (not sure when the above pic came from). It dosen't look like a bad house from the street, but i assure you it has it's major issues, structure wise and cosmeticly. I'd just like to say....if you think this family is not deserving, just because you think they have too many kids, the house looks better than some others or (the biggest one i have a problem w/ people saying) just because he went to ground zero and helped save acouple lives! Take a look at yourself!......This guy did something worthwhile for others in a time of need, while not thinking about himself. Did some of you people who are critizing this man get off your fat lazyass and do anything to help? I doubt it. Not only did this man serve his country, but he went above and beyond, when he wasn't required to do anything! So get your facts straight before you pass judgement.
  2. I install carpet on my days off, doing it for 7yrs now. Like Mensan said the best thing to do is try the paper bag and iron. Since you've tried this and it sounds like you may have gotten it alittle too hot. Then you'll need a patch, first off what type of carpet is it and how old is the carpet? When i mean the type....is it a convential piece of goods (plush) or a berber (looped, patteren or California Berber). The best thing to do is to cut it out in a square shape and iron (hot glue iron) a piece in. Now when you do this you have to realize A PATCH IS A PATCH! You will notice the patch due to the difference in wear compared to the exsisting piece and the "extra" piece for your patch. Another thing to remember is when you "patch" a piece your cutting w/ the grain and aganist the grain.....so your more than likely to see the seam, but w/ a worn piece and an extra piece your going to see the difference in wear anyway. If your interested i can take a look at it and see what we can do. PM me if you want to discuss it further....... Justin
  3. Call Roger @ R&S automotive 614-836-7445 I'm sure he's got acouple sets laying around. Tell him Justin sent ya.

  7. Well........I say to hell w/ the RHCP homos.....I've never liked them or their music and never will. Who gives a fuck what they think.....all they can do is play an instrument and sing like crap........so STFU and do that. To hell w/ them.
  8. Not bad....but i can only take so much rap......about 2 seconds Whats more disturbing is someone listening to WNCI
  9. Yeah I like how he said "oh so and so just beat a Z06 on spray" what a fucking moron. I'd beat his ass if he was talking shit like that to me.
  10. Have you ever driven a PI CV before? I doubt it........For the size of car they are they are pretty damn quick. I've driven quite a few of them.
  11. I've seen the new Charger patrol cars at our Divisions shop on Greenlawn ave. They have the low profile lights black push bar on the front, all white black wheels etc. They look pretty badass.

  18. I'll only go to MD Motorsports in Cincy.........alittle bit of a drive but well worth it.
  19. Trails was alot better track before NHRA took it over......They don't give a shit about the local T&T or local events. I wish it was family owned again.
