What did you HAUL in your JT today?

[Elff]

We have 3 locations within 15 miles of each other, but the other 2 locations share the buildings with other companies and in the past, we have issues where our stuff has been delivered to the wrong company, signed for by that company, and then been a nightmare to find.

People are so freaking lazy they don't check to see if something is actually for them.

So I have $100,000+ worth of equipment shipped to my location and have no issues driving it to one of the others.

Almost 2 tons of tile and about 3/4 ton of carpet. Housing reno sucks.

Flooring is crazy heavy - be it tile or oak flooring. I lost track of how many boxes of wood planks it took to do our whole main level save for 2 rooms (small house but still) Then there's the 4x8 sheets of OSB that go down before the oak.

Yeah that's the next phase once I get the rest of the thinset off the concrete... Looking at about 1800 sqft of plank so around 90 boxes and 2 tons... think I might get a trailer instead of 3 trips haha.

Though this was actually only 1 ton... mind thought 2k lbs and fingers typed out tons... feeling a bit fried with the dump runs and 4 hours on a rotary hammer today.

I towed a friends xj back to his house, I spent a week or so changing out the rear end of his exploring XJ. Not to be confused with his big xj, so he'll have it for next month's AZ trip. And over the summer mapping trip to the WA BDR. He'll be 80 in June, weighs less than the axel housing so I did it rather than worry about him wrestling diffs around. At least the howl is gone...

That blows mine out of the water - I do wish I had the cast wings. Mine are steel and although it's an almost seamless transition from main top to wing, it does collect dust in there and isn't 100%. I've had it for over 10 years and it's done well. 110 volts - I can really slow it with some of the oak I cut or imperfect pieces that want to bind when ripped but I just take my time.

Anyway, congrats on the new saw! And really clever on getting it up in the truck like you did like that. Brilliant.

I don't have any decent pics of the saw itself - best I have right now is here ->

That is a really nice setup, my table saw may be heavier, but everything else about your shop blows mine out of the water - from the bandsaw (mine is a 1/3 hp Craftsman that I bought for $20 from ReStore :-D needless to say it's mostly used for making jigs), to ceiling height (mine is in the basement and is 78in high, to dust collection (a HF dust collector that I run with a single hose), to sunlight (not a single window here). That said, I did built all my kitchen cabinets in my shop, so it's functional though I'm still cleaning up the dust from some corners...

I do the same for my customers with lots of locations. Safer to have one shipping address. Data centers are different though thankfully.

I brought home 1,500 sq.ft. of 3/4" red oak hardwood flooring with mine. Had a 5' x 10' trailer too. Two trips. I also...earlier, like a year before, right after I got my JTO...brought home ~800 sq.ft. of the same in one trip in the bed. No muss, no fuss. Now, I just have to get that 1,500 sq.ft. installed. Did the first 800 myself but killed my already bad back. Will get someone else to kill their back

I installed in our living room, hall, small bedroom (and I mean SMALL 10x9), middle bedroom and decided that ripping up the plywood and shimming things up, putting down the 3/4" OSB was just too much for my back so I left our bedroom (not that large) and my wife hired a guy to do that. He got a good start but wasn't experienced in changing direction (like going the opposite way into a closet) that sort of thing. I sold him my floor staple gun and he got into the room, trimmed up nicely through the entrance into the room and then the weekend came up. He had the OSB down - yeah, I finished it including making new "tongues" so I could reverse direction into a closet, and since they changed the flooring specs a bit I used my router table to cut new grooves in some of the earlier stuff to use in a closet. I had the room done save for 2 widths on the south side when he arrived on Monday. My wife was actually happier with the parts that I had done LOL. She's crazy picky.
