Got the floor started and level. Slowly but surely. Kid goes back to school Monday so I’ll have some free time again to work on my own projects.

FYI I got some birch from Home Depot last time. This time I bought birch from a local cabinet shop. $55 a sheet and it is night and day difference. My impact drill on speed 2 struggles to put a screw all the way in the hard cabinet grade birch... the shit from home depot the screw goes in soo easy. Just softer crappier wood from Home Depot. Same price too.

Was it the same grade? Are you using AC or AB?

Local cabinet shop probably sold you Baltic birch plywood where as Home Depot only sells birch veneered plywood. Baltic Birch is much better and typically has better quality wood for the various plies and more plys.

I thought Baltic birch ply was really expensive? Kinda like marine ply.

It is definitely more pricey than birch veneer plywood. I only use Baltic Birch occasionally when I build cabinets for people as part of my side wood working business . Most the time, I can get by with birch veneer.

So, just having a massive intake volume and plenty of exhaust flow will put one of these heavy mofos in the low 14s-high 13s... Wow. How does it feel off the line, even with regular street driving?

Changed the cabin filter I expected more ash to be in it from the fires but it's been doing something anyway

it's been in there about a year I change it annually, I put the Dorman one in again I like how it is designed with a stiff outer trim and it pivots so it goes right in perfectly, this one I had put in last time was a ***** to get in there and it was a ***** to get out also I thought it was going to tear on me I forget what brand it was but it was just a little to thick
