I would get a few more quotes, also do not cut the existing joists. You will want to marry up another joist next to the existing one, glueing and screwing the two together. Run the joist from girder to sill plate. Is your house vinyl siding? If so I would remove the bottom few courses of siding, cut the plywood and remove then remove the sill plate from the outside and replace. You will want to temporarily brace the floor joist from the crawl space. Once the sill plate is replaced then you can slide the floor joist in from the outside up next to the existing floor joist. Only use treated for your sill plate and then regular yellow pine for the floor joists. If you use treated for the floor joist you will run into other problems down the road. Then as long as you have your house treated for termites you should be ok...if you have a water issue you need to eliminate that either with gutters on the roof or a French drain, just depending where it's coming from.

So a couple of guys wearing mossy oak shirts walk by my booth at lunch and one says, "I hate to bug you, but what do you do for work that you need that truck?!"

Did you ask them why they thought they needed the camo shirts on inside for?
 
Congrats John Lee! Glad you are joining the rest of us with an addition to the family!
 
Napa was having a good sale on a great 3.5T floor jack last week... Sale price $200...normally I think it's over $300... Iirc model 7426 A, (new one is dual piston, old one is single piston) Rebuildable and they can get the kit, if ever needed. I have one, I bought in 98, it sat in a barn for ten years or so, 30$ for the rebuild kit, 2 hours later, due to bad working conditions, and it works like new... Could have taken 30-45 min, depending on how you extract the rust. Next time I could be more thorough. But it picks up and holds the cruiser, so I must have done it right.
 
In the market for new self propelled push mower. Any recommedations? Was maybe looking at a AWD husqvarna with a honda motor.

Background on my yard. On a slight slope. A little less than half acre. Grass - ermald zoysia.
 
All,
Over the weekend, I attended the Lone Star Cruiser Round Up at Katemcy TX. Rob from Build-A-Cruiser was attending with his wife, daughter-in-law and grandson. Working shoulder to shoulder with Rob on the 40 and getting to know him, I thought you might be interested in seeing his family too.

probably the worst day to post a question...
anyone have input on a great cordless 3/8" impact wrench/gun?
I used a friends matco the other day and was impressed, there are some on ebay by ingersoll-rand... I was not really thinking of spending the cash on a matco, s/o or mac... but want a great one...

I also want to buy a good digital metric caliper, anyone have input on that as well?

Makita and Dewalt both make good ones, not quite as pricy as snap on, or Matco
They don't make their own usually, anyway.

I don't usually recommend harbor freight, but they have a digital caliper on sale right now.
 
I'm finally replacing the water pump in the 62. Everything is removed except the pump itself. It's still sitting on a threaded stud and there's not enough room to remove it past the AC compressor bracket. Any tips?
 
Sold my 07 FJ Cruiser yesterday :) Great resale value!!!! Ordering the 5.3L Vortec, 4L60E trans and 60 series split case to put into the 92 80. Also adding a set of manual hubs.
 
On another note, I need some mudship help. Got a driver side fender inner I need to get to Knoxville or gsmtr actually. Bluehawk needs it.
 
Nope, still have the 40. The 60 and FJC are gone. Thinning the herd actually feels good :)
