I'm just finishing hanging drywall in basement and weighing doing the finishing myself versus contracting it out. I'm willing to learn, struggle, and fix and that is what I've been doing the whole time while finishing my basement. With that said, I know that a drywall finisher will do a lot...

Same here as well, almost....I think my wife said they had three left a couple of days ago

Last year i manually siphoned 20 gallons of stale gas from a boat. What a pain in the [censored] and thought to myself how much easier it would be if i connected an electric pump. I saw this article this morning. https://www.wabi.tv/content/news/Le...-while-working-on-his-car-569959321.html
