Oh, Conversation Tree Press announced Dragonlance Chronicles today. That's kind of interesting and seems like a big deal. They're definitely increasing the printing for this one with 1,000 unnumbered copies and 300 deluxe. That's about double if not a bit more of each. Lettered is still only 26...

Yeah, we're doing 5.5" of foam in the walls, sealing everything, and an extra 2" between the top plate and attic. It isn't quite fully encapsulated, but it is close. It creates other problems depending on your location. Like, here, due to our climate zone and humidity doing something like that...

Don’t worry about hijacking, I feel like I monopolize the damn thread. HVAC really shouldn’t be this much of a black magic gate kept secret or anything. It is really astounding given our knowledge of physics and software simulation builders and companies can’t do better than back of the...

To be fair there are also people on here that like sucking trans dick. There's a venn diagram thing happening here most likely.

I’ve been too far behind to keep up with stuff and almost nothing has interested me. Conversation Tree Press is finally shipping numbered 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas. Hopefully get mine next week, UK already getting theirs. Pictures on FB look amazing in both color options, I selected Teal...

They do have versions like that and also ones that tilt and stack all at one end. Ours is where the two center panels slide to the outside panels. I guess “quad” slider is a misnomer on my part. We made the swap while taking to the window guy. Drafter had originally drawn 4 windows + 1 exterior...

A little more comprehensive update, so will spoiler things as I ramble about the project. Received another Invoice / Draw request last week for Framing Lumber and Framing Labor. This was extremely close to budget, as in only $556 over on $117,000. Pretty crazy. Line Budget Invoice #2070 Over...

I"m on it! Glad to see some good news finally. Every little bit of momentum helps. I'm white though, so we have to "cook out" instead of bbq.

Yeah, I mean it is all equally trivial at this point, but I follow what we're saying. We'll bring it up tomorrow at the electrical walkthrough. The exhaust was discussed and that was the builders idea, on the exact thermo sensor. He said the model when we were there but it also has a light...

Appreciate it! We’re still trying to figure out when it really will hit us. We’re still at the point where it feels like a construction project and not our home. Every little step makes it feel a bit different, but we even talked today while out there that it just hasn’t totally hit us yet...

I feel you but interior doors and everything are a bigger ask than just “make this one wider,” you know? I mean we could, but then every other closet door is 2-4’ x 8’ except this one. We’ve already ordered them bc there’s a 2-3 month lead time, it’s already framed out and there’s a...

We're doing our full electrical walk tomorrow starting at 8am but I'll ask him if we can just do this. That'll give me probably 8" of extra space in there. And cheaper to do it now. The HVAC guy confirmed it'll be a full supply vent in there so not just the exhaust. The fan the builder and I...

Just got back from doing the HVAC walkthrough at the house and there's enough room overhead to add a vent so that should be manageable. It is also close enough that we talked about running a small exhaust and we could hit the outside. It is going in the closet marked Audio which is pretty small...

I may be right around where you stopped. First spider action isn’t until almost an hour in, the entire time before just setup, very bad acting, and bad writing. It’s almost charming but not quite enough to be bad-good. There are better examples of this (I don’t know, Tucker and Dale come to mind...

What are some good racks/enclosures that people are using? UI only has 12U and 42U and I’d like something more around 28U. Brand new home build and the network room is just at framing stage, so I can pick pretty much anything. Floor cabinet, wall, shelf, etc. Mid Atlantic seems nice with some...

I was going to watch Buddy but will give this a shot instead / also. Not like there's anything better to do while working at a computer for 12 hours....

Vibe coding is like looking at Agile and going "wait, what if we made it even less rigorous?"

I finished Exorcist 1 and 3 the last two nights. Had never seen 3 and it is one of the few movies that I genuinely wished was longer just so we could see more Scott and Dourif. Was really incredible. Sucks it has taken me so long to finally see it but was an amazing first watch, especially...

My wife is familiar enough with the X-Men movies to know who Jean Grey is so when that popped up she was like "wait, isn't she in X-Men, how is she in this movie??" And was pretty wowed that they were bringing them in. Not that we had not watched Doctor Strange and already seen Prof X or Captain...

We just finished it and loved it. Really fun and feels great that someone somewhere still knows how to put together a good superhero movie after all the terrible crap released.

I swear 90% of the shots in the movie were either spinning around the central character or object (usually a car) and half the screen was covered in a lens flare that would make JJ Abrams cum in his pants. Are we sure JJ Abrams wasn't involved in this movie? Star Trek Into Darkness has nothing...

Watching this now and it is just kind of dumb. It’s bad but also just stupid. Guess I’ll go back and read the thread when it is over but, boy, this is terrible. WHY IS EVERY SHOT SPINNING AROUND A CHARACTER!

Man, I have a pretty high tolerance, but this might be a pass for me.

Just sitting here watching my framers organize and stack neatly the wood at the end of the day.

That sounds pretty cool, on both counts. This is a good example where you really either need a strong architect that can plan for this stuff with you and/or a builder that is more up to date on alternative methods of doing things. It seems so obvious and if you're familiar with it, to you it...

My MIL is doing that in her build for a couple of rooms. Her pottery studio and master bedroom. They're the Mitsubishi real nice ones that are like $5k a piece, can't remember the model number. But she's doing it to compliment her central air and not replace it. Interesting idea but honestly...

1 per floor. That’s how our current house is and I won’t have it any other way. I have 3 independent Manual J/D/S plus the one from the company my builder is suggesting and none of them agree with each other. HVAC is a total crap shoot. The old timers want to use their “rule of thumb” for 1 ton...

wtf is Amazon Luna

A lot done so far, still about 100,000 things to decide. Was out at the site today with my MIL and her house, so flew the drone over the trees to take some pictures. Roof is pretty much completely framed, by the time we left a whole lot of the decking was completed. They were waiting on a 2nd...

So, what is that? It isn’t just a Skyrim mod it is some recompiled hybrid of both games? I’m way behind the times here.

Also true haha. Trainspotting was the first time I saw him though.

Ftfy

Is it kind of Infamous (I think that was the name?) back on PS?

Only had a chance to watch the first 35 minutes. Paused it because I was trying to do some work at the same time. The little bit I saw, though, really made me want to find time to sit and watch. Greengrass does a good job of putting you on the ground in the middle of everything unfolding...

The past couple months we've been catching up on a most of the Marvel movies we never watched. Not even sure how to address these most were so bad and underwhelming. Started going back through all the Tom Holland Spiderman movies. I remembered liking them more but really the 1st one seemed the...

Yeah I ran from my upstairs equipment closet, out the attic, down the soffit, under the house, and back up into the living room and dropped a Flex PoE to have wired + PoE available. The U7 mesh, Roku, and PS5, Switch are plugged through it.

Thanks. Ordered one to try out. Running out of PoE ports on my little TP-Link for testing. Too bad the Pro XG doesn’t fit.

I somehow missed the G6 Entry, maybe because I wasn’t looking at Access stuff at all, but the regular G6 Entry looks nice and can still use the Intercom Viewer apparently without having to worry about electric door access stuff. May pick one of those up to test out here at the house. Most of...
