Random questions to which you seek an answer

said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

Lets say, hypothetically you had a hottub that you needed to lift up 1/2" to slide a thin metal plate under (bracket that supports the poles for lifting the cover off said hottub) and even without water its too heavy to lift by hand .
How would you do it?

In this hypothetical situation you do not have access to a large pry bar, car jack or a small crane

And the winner is flat shovel with 2x2 through the handle for extra leverage when lifting

@GraemeE

Congrats!

I’m surprised the shovel could withstand something like that and not bend or break

[GraemeE]

@northsouthdenimguy it was right up to the point of breaking when I kicked the plate under

5 more seconds and it would have snapped

I was wearing no PPE and had no pre task plan ( my safety directors at work would have had a shit fit)

USA! USA!

I would of used a sky hook… but ok

Has anyone ever sprayed their IH denim with permethrin to help with ticks and chiggers? Can’t imagine it would have any negative effect but I’m hesitant to try it.

[Matt]

Yes. It’s fine.

Does anyone have any faded black IH duck photo examples? I've scoured and can't find much at all. Thanks.

@Oaktavia here you go.

IH-801
More than five years in use. Definitely more than 150 wear days.

[Oaktavia]

@Aetas awesome, those fades are nice and chill. I have a new pair of the bib version and they have taken up the spot in my rotation over my pair of indigo 805s.

@Oaktavia you found a pair of black 806? i have one too, from grailed. cost me and arm and a leg, but it's a great piece.

[Oaktavia]

@tody yeah buddy I have them on me right now! All thanks to @Clint_D Definitely a great piece and I quite like the dark grey triple stitching.
