Dude…..nothing…..NOTHING…..is worse than Florida. Just kidding, but not entirely sold on it. Out here I can Mountain Bike, hike, kayak no danger….down there…Mountain Bike – heat exposure, poisonous snakes and insects, alligators. Hiking – See aforementioned. Kayaking – See aforementioned….oh yeah and add sharks! And don’t get me on overcrowding and Florida drivers!!!
U forgot hurricanes. Old people everywhere- driving.
Thank you! Frikin forgot about Hurricanes! AND tornadoes!!!! And swarms of locusts, cicada bugs, cock roaches……ewwwwwww
your “ewww” made me think of the Jimmy Fallon skits making fun of the way teenage girls talk halarious if you have never seen them
this is a music video he made that pretty much sums it all up but there is a bunch of other skits that are great also just search ew on youtube
HILARIOUS NER!!!
Hey ner why is it that your mind immediately went there. Hummm
Hahahahahaha that’s awesome!
Here u go Chris
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that’s freakin awesome Chad! I was out on storm patrol today pulling wrecks out of the woods and helping people back onto the road. It was COLD! I think yeah….Florida…,hmmmmm. Might not be SO bad 😉
Yep, it’s been minus 20’s, I’m thinking Florida might not be so bad myself.
I don’t even want to think how cold that is Chad. It was two below this week here. Florida doesn’t sound too bad now.
It’s not so bad Nicholas…..;)
When the wind stops and its that cold I call it dead cold. Everything freezes. You can’t warm up, it gets in your bones. Then when the wind kicks in its just pure hell. Yesterday I was at a crash in the morning. It was -8. I was on scene for about an hour. I cleared the call and was going over Parker Mountain and it dropped to -13. No wind. I got out of the car and immediately started shaking. It felt much colder than the -8! The coldest I’ve seen is -26 without wind chill. Those poor guys in the lakes, NY, Il, Mi, WI…..screw that!
This is the coldest I have seen it. Last year the lowest temperature was zero degrees. The wind chill was in the -30s though so that was brutal. It is supposed to be in the upper 30s next week though.
It warmed up today and was consistently in the 15-20 mark so it wasn’t too bad. Funny how quick you acclimate to the temp. I took my pal Rufus out for a quick walk a couple of hours ago and ended up carrying him home. That fine powder snow gets in their paws and freezes and he can’t walk. My neighbor got a kick out of that sight
wow guys i couldn’t even imagine it being that cold out here I was bitching last week and the lowest it got was like high 20’s in the night time…

light weight! haha
Yep up on top whiteface which is the areas ski resort the other night it was -77. F that., I don’t ski. Hell I would definitly break something.
heck yea bro in my night job I work in the freezers but I only have to be in there for a couple hours off and on throughout the night the lowest they get is about -6-15 but when deliveries come the doors stay open for awhile and it temp rises pretty quick and plus they supply us with some carhartt jackets and gloves and beanies that work well but still nothing compared to living in the areas U guys are at.NERemodeling wrote:

Well they are still sold out of the LED lamps at Lowes so last night I bought four more fatigue matS, moved my MFT table opposite my Kapex, framed a small wall for my lumber rack and moved my two lamp fluorescent light over to the “new” shop! I will wire that in today and maybe get a couple of sheets of OSB for the half wall which by the way is NOT 16″ OC! Slowly coming to life over here! I’ll post some more pics soon.
@chris, don’t let the weather persuade your Florida decision remember the weather changes Florida don’t……
Hahahahahaha
What size is your shop going to be when its done Chris.
Chad I’ll have to take measurements when I get home. It’s basically about half of my basement but a good part of that will be storage for wood and fuel pellets. I actually haven’t laid out the measurements. When I get home I’ll do just that, I’m thinking about 25′ by 20′ ish.
nice size bro glad to hear everythings coming along good!
Thanks Mike! Yeah I’ve got to go to Lowes and get a junction box before I wore that light in. Maybe tomorrow, I got a lot more done yesterday than I anticipated but now I’ve gotta crank it up and find a home for my new Rolair! Thanks Eric and Dan! Thanks Travis!!! Thanks Rolair…Bosch….EGO and Milwaukee! Thanks Klein!!
I know ur gonna love that Rolair bro ive been watching reviews on them man they look awesome!
That’s an awesome size, my shop is about 10×16. It’s fun hanging things out the windows to get that cut. It’s a long process but it’s so with it in the end or until u move to Florida.
Am I the only one who sees all the crazy crap that happens in Florida on the news.
No your not the only one people that live in Florida tend to be special it seems. You hear the strangest stories from that state. Plus like everyone mentioned the bugs and lizards get huge down there. I defiantly want to live somewhere warmer some where that stays in the 30’s to 40’s all winter would be awesome. Once you get in the low teens 20’s and it goes for long stretches it becomes an issue.
Heck Samuel, our local radio show, the Morning Buzz, has a regular crazy Florida crimes segment!
Florida….where the men are Men! And so are the women….
Where they sell Velcro gloves at most Dollar Generals……”here sheepy sheepy sheepy….Here sheepy sheepy sheepy….Daddy’s got a sur-prise for yer buttum….!

but don’t they have lieutentant horatio caine to look after that…..
Chris and comp u guys r hysterical. Funny thing is I’ve heard those same comments about the town I grew up in. Oh the town down the road from me is where they invented the “tooth” brush for that one yellow tooth of theirs.
Couple of more pics from today. I installed one fluorescent light today, as I still can’t get the LED lights as of this time. Framed up a small wall to block out sound from the stairs, and tomorrow I am going to finish the wall, pain and instal my lumber rack. Then I can start building another clamp rack and some shelves. Most importantly one for my new Rolair!!
Couple of cool things for me was using two tracks for my TS55REQ to make a length wise cut. Found out my “new” track I bought on eBay must’ve been crushed during shipping because one of the track connectors wouldn’t slide in all the way, I did figure a way to make it work though and made a 110″ track. Yeee – freakin’ – hahhhhh, I installed six heavy compression mats and spent the past three hours standing on the concrete. My lower back is killing me. Thankfully there was an escape…..
awesome pluggin away…pluggin away….
Lookin good bro looking good!!
Thanks Mike, I am going to try and get one more light in there, I didn’t take a pic of the fluorescent one but is is near the single bulb light, on more where I am building the wall. That will be a storage rack wall and I will leave the floor clear to rip plywood with my TS. Dedicated space, gotta love it!
Try not to down to many of those escapes or your will never get done, and u may not have any fingers.
Hahahaha. Thanks Chad for the advice. The limit Chris has is ONE! Otherwise the world will never be able to digest a “Two Beers” Chris!
And got the wood racks and wall installed tonight. Then my Ridgid vac caught a smoke. Burnt the motor out. Oh well it was cheap and other than dropping the thing and spilling out a ton and a half of sawdust and cobwebs it’ll go to the dump Saturday. Oh and lesson learned…don’t cut fiber cement board indoors without your DC going. Cough cough cough…..
b careful with that dust from the cement boards bro that shit can really mess ya up, so far lookin good chris where did u get that shelving from?
second pic though me off I was like what? who is holding the level?….then realized the pic is sideways…….
Chris i don’t know if it is me or not but lately the more light the better for me anyway….
I got confused too comp lol.
you cant have enough light in a shop. its coming along chris
There will be one more light ove the wood rack for a total of three. I just have to get the right sized one that’ll fit in the confines of the duct work. Tha whole are will be for breaking down sheet goods, storing lumber and assembly.
Nice throwing some UTB tools into those pics Chris. A little promoting for UTB.
