I love watching cool large scale model airplane videos or RC drift videos. So awesome though, all electric or some are gas? For me it'd be cheaper than a Tesla (I really want our next car to be an all electric as I currently have a plug in hybrid for now) Welcome to the boat haha, yeah I wish to also do that with my limited knowledge on not keeping up with the latest and greatest. Yeah some of those airplanes are pretty cool. Their is a club about 1/4 mile from here. Every Sunday I can hear them out flying their planes. All electric, my next purchase is probably going to be 1/5th scale gas vehicle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the videos of the large scale actual jet model airplanes to the point where it looks like a real commercial airliner or full blown fighter plane flying over head. Honorable mention to the flying lawn mower haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a project property last fall so I'm in the hardware store a lot. I cant believe how busy they have been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I finally had some motivation to fix some things around the house since I was off from work for two months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 glad to see some old familiars returning, welcome back! I've got an xbox controller hooked up to my gaming pc, hooked up to the 4k tv so I can play from the recliner! Or swap to the monitor/desk. That paired with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo help a bit. I rarely have time for console let alone PC sadly. I didn't get any covid time off/bonus bux, bought my first home in November and it's a huge project lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely ripped out the whole upstairs floor, joist and all and replaced with all new floor joist and decking and rebuilt all the upstairs wall and ran all new electric. In the middle of replacing the windows now and then re-insulate and hang sheetrock. part of the rock is hung. Just waiting on the windows to come in. Should be pretty sweet when done.

Keep up the great work! I need to figure out a way to better seal our attic entry door so it isn't gaping open all the time. May invest in a less death defying folding ladder too haha.

If you want to be cheap/easy you can just take a piece of scrap wood and make a latch out of a screw and piece of wood, or get a sliding door latch. Either way you'd need a step stool to undo it though, but it'll keep the oogie boogies locked out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to watch some videos on it, and probably borrow a small ladder/step stool from someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Hola! Been lurking the site since im planning a new high end build but unfortunately I've had to go else where to look at reviews since OCC doesn't have the info on the hardware I want. Not my first choice but unfortunately i have to watch those click bait, cringey youtubers to get up-to-date info on products im planning on buying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
