My mom has several Hibiscus in her yard for years. They come back e'ry year ... dunno how, but they do.

At the UTTER risk of bein called "ghey", I'd say those fucia/white flowers bout the purdiest I've seen around these parts in the summer when they bloom.

Wow.
I know there are some that grow in cooler climates, I guess I just figured the ground would freeze enough it would kill them.
I guess not.

Oh, I'm sure you've been called worse. heehee

Oooh! I don't have pliers! I do want some of those! And a monkey wrench! And one of those socket things that make the cool sounds when you ratchet it. I actually might have one of those :headscratch:

Get you an impact gun.

If the screw is 80% of the way in, and they're the screws that came with the pot hanger, you're probably gonna break that cheap ass screw trying to turn it out with pliers, and are we gonna trust her to not knock herself in the head with the pliers when they inevitably slip off the screw?

aw, man. I can see it now. I'm trying not to manifest it, but you are unfortunately 1000% correct here. Though, I'd probably whack myself in the mouth with the pliers and knock out a tooth or something. Hard pass on this method.
 
My sister has one and she makes it sound super handy, but is it just a baby screwdriver?

What's a demel? Dremel?

Dremels are handy, but impact guns make my pecker stiff

Looks like a drill, but the big ones can put over 1000 pounds of pressure on a bolt, and can take off nuts that have been rusted over for years.

@moxie and anything with gun In it sounds dangerous and likely somebody gets hurt

Well, we had a miner at another location with over 20 years of experience lose a finger trying to get a nut out of the impact socket like a tard.

I get the feeling of going down the rabbit hole here. I need a couple of drinks and some Train Wreck to calm my nerves before I cuss her out.

lulz... that sounds like it has Emergency Room written all over it!

I'd love to have all the stuffs that would make my life easier, but my condo is so tiny, I have room for nothing :sigh:
 
And if you really want something with some torque, get you a hydraulic wrench. Ours is about 8,000 dollars, but it's what we use to put in jaw crusher dyes, tightens them to 5000 PSI and can go up to 10000, but that would probably break the bolt.

And he is prob 100x smarter than @moxie with tools too

I mean, whack the fucker on a rock and the nut will come out, or use a small pry bar, or if you're bound and determined to use your finger, take the socket off the gun.

Listen- I know enough to start something, but not enough to know how to fix something I fucked up. There's a lot of jerry-rigging around here when i'm sure there's a "correct" way to do it, but that takes more brain power than I'm usually willing to invest. I only touch the surface of stuff, not become an expert. What's that thing... jack of all trades, master of none? I can get it done, but don't hold your breath that it will hold up!
