Yep, an ISP in my area uses those to get internet to us out in the boonies and I use something similar for my shed. They work very well and would definitely recommend them over burying cable (less money/labor by far!). Setup is very easy as well if you've ever setup a wireless router.

That's looking great! I've thought about doing this, but my driveway is close to 100 feet and I'm afraid of what the cost would be. Great choice! I've been very happy with mine. Make sure you have electric outlets installed in the ceiling of the garage where the openers will go as the power...

Well that's too bad. Hire that photographer for your listing! I just noticed this morning when I was heading into work that this house was for sale. Don't know if it's in your budget, too far or if you've already looked at it though. The one downside is the road is not paved, but it's about...

That's a nice looking remodel and really nice garage! I'll be in Hamilton this weekend for dinner with some friends, so I'll be sure to check out the sign at the police station haha! I need to run by Costco this weekend, so if it's still there I may stop by and take a look at it.

Hamilton is a really nice area and has some great restaurants as well. If you feel like you're outgrowing your current place losing that much space could definitely be an issue you shouldn't ignore. You can always add-on an addition to get that space back, but that might be an expense that puts...

I'm in Lovettsville, about 10 minutes from Purcellville. Have you looked around the area as well (Lovettsville, Round Hill, Hamilton, etc)? Are you looking for a newly built house or are you OK with something a few years old? They're finishing building 17 houses behind me on anywhere from .13...

It would definitely get me to give a harder look at a second generation if it had a V8 in it, but as of now I've got no interest in the new one outside of just being able to see it in person.

Yeah I was surprised when you got rid of yours. Having the certificate and build sheets now for the 14s the RR Scab was one rare truck. I remember discussing the shifter with you when I was up there to look at the 15 with the 2.7 you had (the strangely optioned one). I've since been in a few 15s...

Was that fully optioned? If so that's about $9K more than a fully optioned 14. I think my biggest issue is still the fender lights being in the fender flares on the front. It's like they got done designing the truck and were like, Shit! We forgot the damn fender lights on the front! The...

The pricing was released last week (found here) for the 2017 Raptor and there's roughly a $4K increase in the MSRP from the 2014s: 2014 MSRP SuperCab - $44,415 SuperCrew - $47,315 2017 MSRP SuperCab - $48,325 SuperCrew - $51,310 A fully optioned SuperCrew will be close to $70K after...

I've got a Polaris Ranger 900 XP and love it. I use it around my property mainly and every once in awhile take it out to the trails and have never had an issue with it. RZRs are a blast as well, but I'd never get one to use only around my property. The Ranger has a 1,000 LB payload (dump bed)...

I got a new ZTR mower over the weekend and they delivered it yesterday. My Toro has served me well for 13+ years, but the last 4 times I've cut my yard I've had to stop midway through to do minor repairs on it. Nothing too bad mind you, but a lot of the wiring is finally showing its age. I'll...

Agreed! I had the Full-Race exhaust on mine and it came off about a week later. Personally, I'd just do a downpipe with the stock exhaust and enjoy the extra whistle. I had no issues going over 500 ft lb and close to 400 rwhp with the stock exhaust.

The main thing you'd need to worry about is if you went too big (over 35") what the effect on the EAPS would be. The motor is more than capable of turning larger tires though. And yes, the Full-Race truck was and still is impressive. I had their exhaust and CAC on my former truck and they...

Good luck with the project! I wish I had luck finding the car my mom had when I was little. But, even if I did find one the sticker shock would ruin it for me most likely. It was a 1970 Hemi Cuda in Plum Crazy purple that she sold for $3,500 in late 1979 when I was 5. I can still remember her...
