I had a F-150 and HATED it... it had transmission issues AND IT RUSTED OUT FROM UNDERNEATH ITSELF. I had under 100k miles on it and I had to use zip ties to hold the radiator in place. I would steer far away from the F-150 platform. I replaced it with an Avalanche and have loved it. It would probably fit the bill of what you're wanting. it has 4 doors, is comfortable, has enough power to pull anything that a non-diesel can pull, and has plenty of storage available.

http://www.ambry.com/305868-001.html this is the drive except it's a 2.5 and the knuckle head who wrote the post said 3.5 but I assure you it's a 2.5

Wife got me an Echo Dot for christmas... at first, I kind of was like wtf is this thing too, but her and I've been playing with it all night. It's actually pretty cool how well it works. You can literally tell it to play any song you can think up and oddly enough, it finds it and streams it for you. It also will set alarms, interface with other smart devices such as lights, etc... tell you the weather, the forcast, etc... For kicks, call it a fucking bitch and listen to it's response... this set my wife on a 20 minute tirade calling it everything thing she could think of.

I have this cable and it doesn't work. I don't know if it's because it's the 2.5in drive or what. It's a drive out of an old school compaq armada laptop. It had pictures on it from a long time ago that I'd like to recover.

Anyone know of an adapter I can use for this? I have an old laptop that I don't want to loose the data on. I did a quick 10 minute google search and can't find anything that looks like it would work and I was hoping someone knew of a home made solution or something on the net I can pick up. Thanks!

man, I really wish I could afford this car. I have so much want for it.

it's much smaller than the note

V20 is a cool phone. I went with an iPhone 7+ and I have to say, battery life is awesome... it's much better than my Galaxy Edge s6 that I replaced this with.

how many rounds through the 380?

My Harbor Freight tool box has held up better than my craftsman toolbox.

You'd figure that there would be some sort of pressure sensor on the pump to turn it off if it can't pump through... especially for the price of these things.

The downspout is about 15 feet from where the water line comes in. I think the sump pump line was the cause of the leakage... Basement is now dry although everything is frozen so it's hard to tell what fixed it. I'm keeping a bucket under there for the time being to make sure that nothing happens.

Anyone that has followed the Star Wars franchise already knows what's going to happen... there's no surprise here so I'm not really sure people need to worry about "spoilers"

well ya, that's what I just said.. My question that I was wondering was should I put that quikrete hydraulic water mix where the water has corroded out on the wall for extra protection?

ahhh make sense. Well I can't see that, that sealant that looks like cheap concrete... that's what's eroded away. I wonder if there's no pipe in the wall and they just stuffed it with the sealant. It's a poured wall basement if that makes any difference

The pipe is Coper not PVC.... so far that ground setting has busted the main drain, cause me to have to have the septic reset, drain re-done, electric dug up and re-ran (just finished that a month ago) and now this.... I've owned several houses of the course of my life and I have never had issues like this from the ground settling.

that's what they did last time and that obviously didn't work out too well... 5 years after the house is build it's leaking

if it's a concrete wall why a plumber?

why would I dig up a line that's not broken?

well if it's that much, I just don't have it so the patch will have to do for now.

OK, so an update on this. last spring, my sump pump 3 inch buried pipe got clogged with mud and stuff. I put a temporary fix of the pipe above ground and planned on replacing the buried pipe over the summer. But then I got sick and chemo and everything took up all summer and the pipe was still out there. I never glued the pipes together because it was a temporary thing but it's turned out to not be so temporary. Well that pipe blew apart and the sump was pouring water right where the water line is and saturating the ground. I put together the pipe again and got water away from the foundation and the drip stopped within about 5-10 minutes. I'm wondering if it just looked for the easiest way in and that's why it was doing that and that the patch might actually be my better solution. Especially with everything freezing around us. thoughts?

the problem is, we have a ton of snow outside and the water line is underground so what it sounds like I'd have to pay an excavator to dig up the outside. So is everyone saying that this is a water line issue and not the wall? Does that mean my dry basement warranty won't cover the repair? The water meter is in the middle of the yard covered by snow so I have no idea where the meter is buried until some of the snow goes away or I just walk around the yard kicking up snow hoping to get lucky.

Should I put this stuff in there? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-10-lb-Hydraulic-Water-Stop-Cement-112611/100318494?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D22-Concrete%7c&gclid=CNPW6enV8tACFU-1wAodoUsALg&gclsrc=aw.ds

BTW, don't ever build with Schumacher Homes... we've had nothing but issues with this house since it was built

I have a slow drip coming from where my main water line comes into the house in the basement. It looks like there was some sort of concrete putty originally spackled in there, but it's wearing away and now there's an indentation about 2 inches deep around where the water line came into the house and it's leaking all over my basement. I have a bucket under there to hopefully catch the water and not ruin anything else in there. What is that concrete spackle shit they used and if I get it and spackle it back in, will that fix the issue or should the builder have done something else in the first place to prevent this?
