Where I could.check to get brackets like these

[Strugglerzinc]

Allied had a few different types of brackets from Simpson Strong Tie's decorative line but nothing like that.

I skyboxed in my post bases and joist hangers because i choose not to go to 10 different places and attempt to describe what i want. Allied selling joist hangers and the workers didn't know what i talking about.

[Rovin]

even in d usa ppl does have to be ordering stuff online cause in their area simply doesnt have d items available or it has to be ordered in advance by local suppliers

everything so convenient over d past 15-20 yrs all u have to is sit at home pick exactly what u want , read\watch reviews & order it down ... no hassle calling or driving around in traffic & it actually cost u less time\$

[Ted_v2]

yes boi, one day next 10 years we would have that pleasure.

i does still call around and not get proper answer and still have to make the trek. total waste.

[Chimera]

I guess it could be made with angle iron and flat steel locally by a good fabricator?

[Rovin]

as somebody who used to do welding\fab for a living yrssss ago i will tell u as simple as those brackets look its alot of labor\time\expense to make even if mass producing\batching it out , i wud def look into landed cost of importing it urself unless u need something very specifically custom built & cost is no issue then local for it

note how local steel prices went up by 50 to 100% in some cases & how bhags have been importing\selling thinner than advertised thickness , not to mention how they been short changing 20ft lengths for decades ....

[pugboy]

$84usd online for those ?

there are local guys with plasma cnc who can bore those holes easily in angle and then weld the box shape
not sure how
much they would charge
but the headache is to paint it good so it won’t rust

[Chimera]

contacted one or two companies locally to get prices
waiting on them to get back to me.

the simpson strong ties looks like they will suit my purpose though

[pugboy]

how many you need and what design ?
i know a guy who might be able

These are the exact 2 Allied had. The regular unpainted ones are much cheaper though but the finish of these is nice.

i will hit allied tomorrow and check the scene

much thanks

[carluva]

Gots me a new toy for the cars and light duty work around the place. I'm looking to replace the pressure hose, gun and wand with something more suitable for my needs. The hose is a bit too short, about 20'.

Once I get the new ones, I'll give away the gun, wand and hose so if anyone is interested let me know sooner rather than later so I can keep it for you. On that note, wasn't there a tuner enquiring recently for a gun... Vibes me if you still interested.

[carluva]

Surgeon, can you do me a favour. I tryna call Trinidad Hose to see if they are open. No luck.

When you down by Allied tomorrow can you tell me if Trinidad Hose open? They right down the hill by licensing office. As you reach the bottom of the hill, turn left and then they immediately on the right hand side before Southern Sales. Appreciate it if you can help. Thanks

i will hit allied tomorrow and check the scene

much thanks

the karcher comes with nice rotary tip which doesn’t rob power like the squeeze fan tip

[carluva]

Don't make it sound like I chain you up. I love to clean my vehicles and a gas is too much power for that. This'll do the trick. Plus it good for a lil furniture too.

And yeah. Dis come in meh barrel.

Actually, if you or any tuner interested, it's one of my friend's uncle who lives in Orlando. He was in the courier business and has retired but does a lil side hustle to pack barrels and help with other small shipping as a service for people here. So for folks like me who don't have any relatives in the USA, I don't mind paying him to pack everything and drop it off by a FF. So I will reimburse him the cost of the barrel and other packaging plus a service fee which he charges. I've been using him for about 4 years and comes in handy for clothes for the kids, especially as they've grown since the pandemic and needed new wardrobes.

PM me if interested.

[carluva]

Where can I get one of these locally? It's for the back of a dishwasher.

[Strugglerzinc]

Hose shop making that now fuh now...next week.

[carluva]

Which hose shop open? Trinidad Hose closed to the public.

I think Imperial Hose in Freeport open (i hear that secondhand) but I can't really be sure. I haven't gone there since March.

[mad]

Understood Mad. Just did a Google and seems like the Total is a rotary.

Personally I don't know much of rotary polishers as I use a DA. But if the price is good, take the plunge.

Waiting for the Hardware to open back up. Will update on my choice and give a review on the polisher I choose.

Just an update, I went Allied San Fernando and bought a Stanley 600W Polisher for $650. Was the lightest compared to dewalt makita and the 1300W Stanley. Good for personal use.

[Chimera]

I got the 4x4 black accent post holders at allied for around $170 for one. Great price rather than importing.

Thanks guys.

Doubt I was finding that otherwise because even when you call allied and ask about simpson strong tie...them never hear about that item they don't have any
