Made it from CA to LA without any issues (2200 miles-one way), fixed our house (cost more money as originally planned, what is new???)
Drive home was different.....while in traffic in Houston, TX on Friday, some woman driver decided to test the strength of our rear bumper of our truck...then she took off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) Luckly my wife and I recieved no injuries...the truck however is tweaked, driveable, but still tweaked..........we filed the police report and gave them the plate number from the Nissan Maxima.....now to deal with the insurance company..oh joy.......

Bummer about the hit and run, but at least no one was hurt. What happened to your house? Did I miss a thread? I think I need a gas powered nailer, sounds prety cool!

The hit and run sure sucks. I hope that working through it is smooth for you.
On a brighter note - Cool Tools! I like your planning here. Buy cool tools to work on the rental house and then have them available for future projects - like maybe adding a metal working room addition onto the house!!! hey - can you deduct the cost of those tools from your taxes? |

QUOTE What happened to your house? Did I miss a thread? I tend to do things backwards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) We sold our rental property 5 miles from home, yet kept our rental property 2000 miles away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Seriously, it's a renters market here in CA, people are getting thier rent reduced and we had been having a hard time getting someone to rent one of our units (for a few hundred more, one can rent a brand new house believe it or not) Considering we have over 121,000 miles on our truck, this being it's first accident is not too bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE like maybe adding a metal working room addition onto the house!!! the nail gun won't be much help with my new work shop, I'll be building it with metal studs instead of wood (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) |

Sounds like this is going to add up to an expensive remodel. Maybe you should call the crew from Monster House.
Flying down to check on my remodeling in Palm Desert end of the month, hope things go better. CCLINHGTV |

Accidents suck and having some idiot bump and run is rude and inconsiderate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spank.gif)
Glad everyone is OK. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

Mike, I had the exact same thing happen on the way to work one day in LA. Stupid-ass woman hits me, so I turn into the next neighborhood street to get out of the traffic. Well, she kept going! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I got a nice impression of her license plate in my bumper. Stupid-ass bitch!
