I can't believe this thread is nearly 12 years old

As we are all 12 years older maybe we need a new thread. What jobs you can't do yourself anymore.

I tried to watch a actual video on a total hip replacement got as far as they start to spread the cut open then turned it off 😱
Maybe I should start with an animated video first
This may not be a DIY job

Man up, get a local and watch your own
Talk about being late to the party , that post was from 2015
I was happy to be put out for all the replacement
A friend was awake for a knee replacement, he said you could feel them hammering in the replacement

I have no idea how that popped up looking like a new post to me. Doh, too much rum last night....or just enough

Nice!

This weekend I did a bunch of fixing, changing the leaky kitchen faucet to a new Hansgrohe Cento unit that came on sale:

And changing out our ancient KitchenAid dishwasher from a new Whirlpool:

Both from Costco, who has been good to deal with. The first dishwasher arrived with a dent in the back, they at first offered to drop $100 off the price, but as the dent is low in the tub we felt more comfortable with an exchange, which arrived in a week.

Hopefully will get a bit of a rebate on the dishwasher due to the KitchenAid lawsuit on the ones that caught fire

My to me toolbox with some old stickers on it. The stickers are Snap-on but the tool box is a metal Beach one. Oddly enough this is the first tool box I have ever bought.

Bought one of these sound bars last week.

I’ve been looking for one and this came up for $179 at the Source and I had it delivered to work. Great improvement over the standard speaker. My tv doesn’t have HDMI ARC though but luckily I had a spare fibre optic cable in the junk drawer.

^^ I looked at that one (or very similar by JBL) before I bought my Klipsch.

And yea...it sounds real good.

My tv is stand mounted so I needed something that would fit and that narrowed the choices down a lot.

Oh yeah, and I bought a truck today and I pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

KD's wife: Where is the sound bar you went out to buy and who's truck is that.

Congrats, looking forward to the show and shine.

Yeah, I thought he had a work truck? But maybe it's full of tools...dunno.

So a Frontier? They're the KLR of pickups

Sh!t, forgot i even posted this..lol. Been so darn bust last couple of days haven't had to time to take pics, or even drive it other than on the way home from the dealer. Here's a teaser dealer shot.

that's a really good truck...a relative bargain in the market right now...looks good, quite capable, and even though it's an older platform, it's pretty solid for reliability...well done.
