I had a hell of a time getting my Fuzion drivers door open. The inside door handle broke (common), but the outside wouldn't work either. I had to pull the trim escutcheon for the handle, then break the rest of it to get access to the pull cable. Easier said than done and not destroy the inner panel. I finally got 2 pry bars between the handle and the lock and got it distorted enough to open the door. Then it was easy as pie. The handle may be cheaply made but where the two pieces join a real biatch to get apart ot spread enough.

Happy Bird/Tacos day to all.
Right now we are still at 14 inches.... I was right on my eye measurement. It just started again, and is supposed to snow all through the night..... and they are saying tonight is supposed to drop more than it did last night. I need to buy a friggin' four wheeler and put a plow on it.

EDIT: I just realized I didn't answer all of your questions. Yes, that's an electric fireplace. It's a 1400W unit, and 4600 BTU's. We have a Walker Edison distribution center here, and they always run specials..... got it for 179 bucks. Needless to say, I'm thrilled. Same one on Amazon is almost 300.

I have had the same one in my living room for about a year now. Really good tv experience when paired with a soundbar and sub. I think you will be very happy with it.

2100.... great minds think alike!

JP, you must have got it right when it was released then? The guy at the store told me it is a 2019 model. I wish Samsung would put that on their boxes.... I noticed the LG boxes all had the model year printed right on them.

I wish I could justify upgrading my 60" Samsung 1080p TV to 4K, but we hardly watch this one.

I went and checked out that Dewalt air compressor this AM. If it stuck out from the wall 18" instead of 24", it would be fine, but I don't have room for it as-is. It's too bad, because $450 seemed like a pretty good sweet spot for value. The old 20-gal Craftsman I have now will do 7 SCFM at 90 PSI. The highest capability I've found in 30-gal units is 5.3 which according to the charts I've found won't run a paint gun well. I wish there was something decent and affordable between the 30-gal and 60-gal models, but I've yet to see one.

EDIT: Am I thinking I need more capacity than I actually do? This 20-gal unit kept up for the most part with my deck staining, but peters out when I use the cutoff wheel for anything more involved than a bolt or two. Would the 30-gal with 5.3 SCFM @ 90 be a decent replacement for this 20-gal one with 7/90?

I am personally of the opinion that you can have a smaller tank if the motor can back it up. I have a 4HP motor on my 13 gallon Campbell Hausfeld, and it does pretty well. I've only had to wait on it when I've had a bolt that was really hard to break loose, and that was with my old impact. The new Earthquake stubby that I've got breaks bolts loose pretty quick.

You would be correct. My wife picked it up for me as a Christmas present last year. I dont understand why samsung goes by series either, especially if they are releasing new models annually. There were a few settings I had to turn off to get rid of the "soap opera effect" camera but after that it's been a great set.

Bigger tank, but slightly smaller motor on that 33-gal unit (1.6 RHP vs. 2.0). The $400 BF price for the 30-gallon unit is still a good deal, but may hold off and hope this one hangs in awhile longer. Maybe keep an eye out on CL, etc., and see if I can find a good deal on something used. I have a few more hours to decide.

EDIT: I think the 30 would stick out from the wall as much as the 60?

JP, what sound bar did you go with?

Ohio, a lot of the 30's I've seen lately are just shorter, so I would agree with that assessment. I keep thinking I'll buy a bigger compressor.... I'd like one that is horizontal and short.

My battery impact has never let me down though, so I really only use air for tires and nail guns.
