Can’t believe we have search for toilet paper. You would think the hoarders would have enough by now. no kidding. I saw where the police caught and arrested some people who stole a whole truck load of Toilet Paper. What the H is wrong with people. There would be plenty to go around if people didn't get so dam greedy and take more than they can possibly ue in a month. Stupid people me off. I have a two packages of toilet paper with about 6 rolls per package. That is my normal amount that I keep on hand all the time. Don't want to be doing my business and suddenly remember that I have to run to the store to buy some more TP. I read that the delivery of that toilet paper was legal, but that the trailer had been stolen, I guess while empty. Supposedly the police even made sure the drlivery was made.

This is why I loaded the AR mags and got my bug-out bag ready last night. Paranoid? Overreacting? Probably so...but it gave me a good reason to do an ammo inventory and clean / rearrange the "man room". I've had over a thousand rounds of XM855 already loaded in PMAG's in a sealed can for a few years now. LOL!

It's business as usual for the company I work for. There are 20 employees in my building. Not one word has been said about the virus by management -- no meetings, no paperwork, no changes in protocol.
I did hear that the box of toilet paper in the storage room was moved to the office across the road. LOL! Oh yeah, a can of Lysol mysteriously appeared in the bathroom.

But what`s the difference in the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol, ACP), and what they lost as simply .45 auto? Auto and ACP are the same.

What`s been your take on the aluminum? Is it safe? It is ok to shoot? I've never tried it, but I'm sure it's safe or Federal wouldn't manufacture it.

Signed by the Speaker of the House on 3/16 and by the President of the Senate on 3/18, so it's off to the Governor's desk.

I stopped and bought a box of .243 shells on the way home today. If things get too bad I figure there's 20 deer in that box of shells. Yesterday I said, "Those 1200 rounds of .22LR that I just ordered may be 1200 squirrels -- if I don't miss." LOL!

Just ordered 1200 rounds of CCI Subsonic .22 (#0056) for 6.9 cents a round delivered. CCI is always more expensive, so $5.99 for a box of 100 was a great price. It's the only .22 ammo I use, since I use a suppressor exclusively.

I've got some sinus drainage right now and a sore throat. I've had a cough for 3 months now. I suppress it in stores right now to avoid scaring everyone. Lol!

It's getting a little silly. I try to buy a handful of ammo every so often. Went online to buy some 22lr and it's all sold out almost everywhere I look! What is left is like 12 cents a round... for 22! ammoseek.com/ammo/22lr?.cgifields=noblanks

While I've never seen any "Amish" finishers, there's a whole bunch of Mennonites. One pump company we pour for is composed mostly of Amish lites. Great crew and hard workers. Yeah, the correct term should have been Mennonites, as these guys drive.

Span870, I used to work with a younger guy in Lawrence County that now drives a concrete truck. I'm not sure who he drives for. I texted him a couple of months ago to get recommendations on finishers, and he said he only trusted two in the area. One replied with a quote within the hour, the other said he'd get me a quote the next day but never did.
With DC Metals now providing the concrete work as well as the building, I have no idea what the quality of the slab will be. Hopefully it will be just fine, as they are a well-known business with decades of experience. I do wonder if they subcontract the concrete work out or if they do it themselves. I will say that I've never seen Amish concrete finishers.

Worse case scenario you could borrow half the amount needed to keep a reserve. Then when things settle down, pay it off. Funny that you should mention this because as a fail safe, I opened a $20K home equity line of credit a few weeks ago before this scare. I have flirted with the notion of borrowing half, as the interest rate is either 1.6% or 1.9% (can't remember) for 6 months, then prime minus one quarter. As long as the economy holds out, I could probably easily save up $10K by Christmas.

A client of mine had dc build two different pole buildings. Very nice and hard to beat them on price. You might save a little doing your own finish work. I priced both pole barn and stick built configurations, but from the beginning leaned towards stick built. I prefer the look of vinyl siding that matches my house over a metal exterior. My house has a metal roof, so this garage will as well. I feel that stick built is the stronger choice, with its OSB walls and roof, as well as its monolithic slab, which will be much thicker under the overhead door openings than a pole barn's floating slab. I'll be insulating and finishing out the interior at a later date, as well as getting electrical service to it. It'll have 12-foot walls, so my goal is to install some sort of lift in the future.

I have the cash on hand to have the garage built with no borrowing, but I won't have much in reserve until I can save it up again. I was initially going to build it myself (with friends) using materials purchased from Menard's and hire someone to do the concrete work -- until my brother talked me into getting a quote from DC Metals in Cannelburg. They will build it (including concrete) for $2K more than I can build it myself, and have it done in a few days instead of the 4-6 weekends it would take me. This will be stick built on a monolithic slab.
Have you guys priced concrete work? Wow! My cheapest concrete quote was $7700 + cost of stone, etc.

Even though I have excellent credit, I have been saving up to build a nice detached garage. I don't like to borrow money and prefer to pay cash for everything -- my last vehicle payment was in 1994.
Anyway, this garage is going to cost me over $20K, and I was supposed to pay a 1/3 deposit this morning, but decided yesterday after Trump declared a state of emergency that I needed to wait a little while to see how the economy reacts before tossing the majority of my savings at this project.
My quote is locked in for 30 days from today, but I'm free to cancel the project with no repercussions. This is something I've wanted for a long time, so I'll eventually fulfill it. I just have to decide when it's safe to turn loose of the cash. LOL!
