My neighbors did their windows last summer... I asked him how much. 24K. Yeah, no thanks!

My parents just did all of their windows and siding. 40K. Yeah, no thanks.

That old boy has been my chariot for a couple weeks now, LOL. It's my "shiddy roads" vehicle.

Bullet ? If you're referring to a torpedo and it's propane, make sure there's exceptional ventilation. Otherwise your tools and even the truck will rust. Great for quick heat, but man do they kick out the moisture.

Right, they're excellent in the snow. Never had a problem with 4WD on that truck. Except for the time I hit that trailer tong jack laying in the expressway at about 70. Lifted the front end off the ground, bust a hole in the axle housing, tweaked the axle just before the needle bearing....bad day. Remember that, wasn't too long ago ?

Yep, 24K. He got triple pane, swing out windows.

Technically, my parents house isn't done yet. One room they cracked the glass when installing it. Another room was made warped. And the window for the garage was made backwards. Meaning they swapped the length and width.... yeah, not too sure how the hell that happens, but it did

Oh yeah, I remember that well. That was a beauty!

Soooo.... I bought the upgraded plasma torch for my CUT50 Plasma Cutter. The AG60 is a pilot arc gun only.... didn't realize that. So, I am going to have to convert it. The CUT50 came with a ground post on the back side of the machine. So, it's a little easier than most rigs to convert it over. I just need to go buy a single conductor connector now, because I want to be able to remove this hose and gun.

Have you used yours yet, Phil? How do you like it?
