This is one of my weekend projects...

A bunch of the grout lines have hardened and fallen out and whatever kind of drywall that’s behind the tiles has rotted out, I pulled a tile at the top to confirm this. Plus it’s super moist and moldy.

Cement board and Redgard here I come. At least it’s not my house, getting paid is really inspiring.

This is a bathtub if you are confused, and no it isn’t a sideways bathtub, Kinja is just stupid.

Make sure to pee in the tub and leave it for days on end.

Sure it relates to cars, gives you plenty of time to think about how much you hate the Jetta.

The supervisor I worked with was told to turn his 2012 F250 diesel in and drive a gas one, he hated it. I drove it one time and it felt so under powered. Despite them being company vehicles, I drove the shit out of them too.

He got a 2015 gas Chevy 1500 Z71, I suck at English and proofreading.

Oh, that’s my favorite color on those! I was pissed when they discontinued it. Stop interneting and go buy that truck already.

Really? They do 0-60 in like 7 seconds flat. That’s pretty quick for a heavy V8 truck.

Yup, I know.

Max of six months till I can, I’ve got a lot of other stuff going on.

Hm, not sure then. I know the one I was driving was struggling to get up to highway when I was merging onto the interstate, I had my foot to the floor.

That’s strange, I’ve driven a 2015 5.3 Tahoe and it did perfectly fine.

Could it have been the 4.3 V6?

E90M3 > jkm7680
01/06/2017 at 18:42

I’m like 95% sure it was the V8, but I could be wrong.

Because the 4.3 is a POS, haha.

I rented a 5.3 Tahoe a couple years ago, and was amazed how much I loved it. My Sierra has the 4.8 and a 3.20:1 rear end ... it’s slow as dog-shit!

Oh, they’re awesome. That’s for sure.

They ride great, are really comfortable and super well built. I could go on and on about them.

shop-teacher > jkm7680

Yep. I was pissed when they gave it to me. I had reserved a big sedan, not a shortened pickup truck. I was stunned by how nicely it rode and how well it got off the line. I’ve been wanting one ever since.

That makes me think I’d like a Silverado a lot, haha.

shop-teacher > jkm7680

I’d love one too, but I can’t bear to get rid of my trusty ‘06. I got it brand new for under $22k and it’s never let me down.

Wow, that’s a good price for a crew cab!

Just keep that one for hauling shit and get a new one as well, hah.

Eventually I will do just that. Gotta get the wife’s car paid off before I can swing another car note though.

That’s a good idea, multiple car payments at once aren’t ideal at all.
