I woulda guessed the same since theres a few people around here my age (19) and thats still on the younger side on here.

I used to wonder how old everyone on here thought I was before I let it be known.

EDIT: Seeing your custom sig thing next to the supporter badge made me remember I was going to ask you for some advice on some guns when we talked about those menus, So be ready Im going to have just a few questions lol

Luckily building material prices have stabilized somewhat the last few months. The problem is I am in no position to capitalize on it.

I am lining up some work for a buddy after the holidays to finish his basement. Should be a good project.

To be honest, over the phone I can tell you are fairly young. Not sure why. On here, I would have thought 25 or so.

Yes it is. I upgraded my house 10 years back and love it. Now the hot tub, garage, air compressor, RV, truck plugin are all on separate circuits instead of doubling up on stuff.
