I'd still not touch it with soap, but even if you do, I'd promptly follow up with a nice coating of oil for storage. I've cleaned my cast iron with a tiny amount of soap a couple of times for really stuck on stuff before it was really well seasoned, and i just follow up with oil afterwards. Now that I've been using…

Oops, I voted for this one as well in a separate post before I saw this one! I have the exact same wallet and I've had it for almost 2 years and it has held up beautifully. Love it!

That is a very nice design. I love the understated looks and simplicity.

VOTE: Big Skinny Wallets!

True. I have a circular saw for larger work already for cutting big stuff like that. I meant those tools together will cover just maybe 75 percent of any small job around the house. If you undertake a large renovation, get some proper purpose-built tools of course!

Very true, but with the little amount of use these things get around my house it makes sense for me. I don't do a lot of carpentry on the weekends to justify the other purpose-built tool investment. At least not yet. Not until I decide I want to start building furniture in my spare time or something!

There is a ceramic cutting blade for these, so yes.

If you already have a drill or other tools that use the same batteries, go with that brand and the batteries with the Lithium-ion batteries can be interchangeable. I have a Rockwell li-ion 12V cordless, and I'm going to get the 12V drill next so they can both use the same batteries. IMO Milwaukee makes some of the…

Between this and a Dremmel, I can't think of much else that you need to do a majority of tasks around the house, these tools are great for smaller tasks. Cordless drill, rotary tool, and oscillating tool. What else do you need really? I have the cordless Rockwell version, 12V Li-ion. Love it.

I've heard people have had good luck with Autotrader and Ebay Motors in the past. That might be worth looking into. Thanks!

I just posted on the two-cents subblog yesterday about trying to sell my car on craigslist and failing for 6 months. I think I had maybe 5 or 6 people who just didn't show up to look at the car after driving to the other side of town to meet them. So annoying.

We did a lot of research on agents the second time around, the guy we are with has an average list time of something like 40 days, so that isn't too bad. The other guy we were with for 6 months had an average list time of 90 days I believe, and after 6 months of no action, we decided to try another firm with a guy…

I thought about renting it, but at this point we just want to get away from it and get out from under the payments so we can move on. We are on our second realtor right now as the first one didn't have any luck in the first 6 months of the house being on the market. We are getting into the winter months now and I am…

I hope they called a cease fire on the range before he got out of the car! Now I need one of these, just because. I hope they have a front facing camera as a backup for when you can't see out of the windshield anymore, so you can still drive away.

I love coffee and I love screwing with the norm, so I'll probably have to try this method now! I usually use a French Press every morning just for the simplicity. I don't find it hard to clean like some people have mentioned. It's just a quick rinse under the sink and it's good to go. Thanks for the quick summary!

Any advice for someone who is in their 20's who has a house, two car payments, and student loans who is trying to sell their house and cars but no one will buy them? I've been trying to sell my car for 6 months since my wife doesn't need her car as much now that she is a stay at home mom. Dealerships offered me $6,000…

What exactly makes a pourover coffee brew special or different from other methods? I've never tried pour over. If the Aeropress qualifies as pour over method, is that what you mean, or is this method different? I've made coffee with a french press and my Finum Brewing Basket mostly. I guess that is a sort of pour…

Do any of these credit unions allow you to join without any restrictions? I know a lot of credit unions you either have to work for one of their partner companies, or you have to live in a specific geographic area to be illegible. Do any of these on this list have those such restrictions? I'm trying to look for a…

Never use a cover to enclose the whole unit. It gives the mice a place to live and chew on things they shouldn't.

Totally agree. Too much structure, too much forced repetition, doing problems that have nothing to do with getting the actual answer, all it does is create frustration and stress in the student. Very poor implementation with no real research into teaching properly. Every kid thinks differently, so instead of teaching…
