Someday my 18v Dewalt impact driver will die.

Someday...

I did add a belt hook to it recently.

Signed up for full variable duty cycle AC and heat on a 20SEER unit and 97% AFUE furnace. Gonna be nice to get decent climate control in this shitpile.

Holy shit. Is that really $18k?

yeah, and that's with their seasonal -2k adjustment, since they ain't busy right now. It's in line with the other quotes I've gotten, so I'm feeling pretty good about it.

I have the money (both via my outsized federal refund, and via a small inheritance from my grandmother), but I figured I'd churn it through Costco's credit facilities, since why do I have an 825 rating right now, if I don't use it once in a while.

I posted a link the other day to a BoA card that offers $750 back after $5k in purchases! It's something...

Since I'm doing the financing through costco, the spiff (costco "gift card" for doing it through them) on the back end is around $2500 ($1840 base 10%, $368 for being an "Executive member", and $368 for financing through costco).

I might sign up for the card and churn it around a little more, but I'm not super crazy about opening accounts with BofA.

BTW, how big is your house? We're probably due before too long and I didn't really know that an HVAC system runs almost $20k. Horry fuck.

Tell me about this desk?

We're 2400-ish sq. ft.

You probably don't need a gas furnace though, so you can safely chop a sizeable percentage off.

Our's was 25K with the steam humidifier and a return that was moved for a 4500sq ft house.

There was once a Tardgather forum called Genmay where a member bragged about getting a built-in desk in his folks' house for "only $10k".

Ever since, the standard for measuring expensive stuff is "desks" for me.

It looked like a retarded piece of crap , too

and don't forget to adjust for inflation. Considering there's CRTs and a VCR on that desk, that $10K is probably worth quite a bit more today.

10k desk with 2.50$ speakers from radio shack
