I picked out a nice set of Clopay insulated garage doors at our new house. One single width, one double width. The bid came back at $20k. I declined.

I was able to select a nice, simpler, insulated set of doors for under $10k, but that's still way more than I planned on spending. It included new openers etc, but still, get ready for sticker shock.

Corrugated roll up doors are cheap, paneled garage doors are not. YMMV.

This is the Answer. I've had good experiences as buyer and seller.

" Fireproof" safes are ranked/rated by burn time. Cheaper= lower rated burn time. Point being it's not a pass/fail certification.

And harbor freight or not, many of them are Chinese.

The generic brand Chinese battery backs will use recycled/upcycled used cells. May have reduced capacity, life span, voltage drops or all of the above. It's a crap shoot.

I ended up with barely 1/4" of rain. It was a nice slow rain without runoff, so it helps. Hopefully we can get some reinforcement precipitation in the next 2 or 3 days, otherwise the sprinklers are coming back on.

Have Chat GPT or GROK do the work for you. Each parish will have its listings with the respective sheriff's office.

Need more info on your property. Echo/Stihl/Shindaiwa are amongst the quality options. Whether you go lighter/smaller or heavier duty within those brands and options is dependent on your needs. As others mentioned, the Echo SRM 225 is popular for most neighborhood sized yards.

I'm not sure who is down voting, but 100% the pilot circuit is fouled up. The generator will open the throttle in response to a poor idle to keep running, the rpm's climb in response .......the rpm's try to drop, but it won't idle well so the surging cycle continues. Under load the throttle is open further, which is why it runs fine under load. These generators have cheap Chinese carbs from the factory, and there is usually little reason to fiddle around with cleaning one that is already varnished and corroded with ethanol. Replace the carb and move on. It's nothing but a few screws. No reason to take it to a shop.

As a Catholic, we can disagree with prudential decisions of the church. From what I understand, these grants have been stopped. As of 2025.

And if you care, the USCCB was spending more on immigration than they were getting in grants.....the church was spending it's own money alongside the grant money.

Now, we can still disagree with all of it, but let the conversation be honest.

I have had similar experience. Our water temp was up to 92F last week. I set up and ran the fountain/spray overnight the last few nights and it's back down to 88/89F. That's perfect for us. The lower humidity certainly helped the cooling, but impressive nonetheless.

It's not a matter of the weight of the tub, it's a matter of how that weight is distributed.
