Finally finished this outdoor kitchen/patio cover/fireplace.

Trying this out this weekend. Now to decide what flavor ice cream. Probably chocolate

Was kinda hoping it would be a little like Dyson Sphere Program where I could set something up on various planets/moons that would help grow my budding empire/business/whatever the fuck.

Just getting started, screwing around New Atlantis with a couple local quests I picked up from the UC security guy and the jobs terminal. Also playing around with research and crafting. I kinda want to start off focusing on collecting and building stuff before I go guns blazing. Can you pick up...

And that thing ain't built for swimming.

I'm sure the engineering on it is fine. Main thing is the footing and how well it is anchored to it. Definitely a unique application of an old shipping container.

I like the disposable blades style of knife for field dressing. Always have something razor sharp. https://www.outdooredge.com/products/razor-pro

Really dependent on where you live and your soil. Here in N TX we have black clay under everything and shit moves a lot, swells when it's wet and contracts when it's dry. This time of year you can walk a random field and you'll find cracks in the dirt big enough to put your first in. He's in...

They did put roadbase down and then compacted it right?

It's going to move. A lot. I have one that I finished in the spring when the ground was still moist. After this summer and everything shriveling up in the heat it looks terrible. My paver guy just shrugs and says that's what they do. Sounds like you would have been happier with spray deck...

They're doing nice work on those pavers

Not a pizza oven, they just wanted the brick outline to look like their indoor fireplace and that's how it is.

Outdoor kitchen+fireplace+patio cover I'm in the middle of building.

Sounds like a good price to me. The acrylic deck is nice, looks good and is cooler on your feet than bare concrete, but only having 3' around it is unusual where I'm at. Maybe a regional thing. Did you get a bid from Blue Haven by chance? If yes, you should PM me. I heard they used to do the 3'...

$70k for a pool that's about 12k gallons, screen enclosure, and extending out an existing patio cover type thing? That's not bad at all. How many square feet of decking? What exactly do you mean by "built-in" with the spa?

This might be helpful in a year when the kiddo starts her freshman year at college. Ten years ago when I went back and got my Bachelor's I found a few cheap, earlier edition textbooks at Half Price Books, particularly the big one in Dallas off NW Highway for any DFW folks.

They start off with one or two long, powerful runs and if you can weather that then you can start getting them in. Once I got him in the boat he was completely done, he didn't flop at all. Next time I will definitely bleed it out once it's on board. My woman fried some last night, it was...

Man I loved the original and Cheers for what they were; good natured sitcoms that didn't take themselves too seriously but always able to sneak in a nice double entendre without being vulgar. I want this to be more of the same but have serious doubts.

I had a 500 lb dolphin fucking with me once I got the King on board and out of the water. Freaked me out pretty bad, he was doing circles around my kayak and under it. He could have flipped me if he wanted. I have some of that encounter on my GoPro. If it's decent I'll post it. Those boys...

I check the forecast and the swell report before going, that week was pretty flat seas. I also take a marine VHF radio with me in case if emergency I can radio the Coast Guard. Big risks=big rewards. That being said, I was pretty creeped out on those giant, rusted out platforms 5 miles out and...

Best fishing trip of my life. Being able to get off the beach and have some mobility really suits my style of fishing.

Last full day of fishing I got a few snapper; one red snapper, couple smaller Lane snappers. Also another new species- triggerfish.

Padre Day 3 - Hit up a small platform near the shore and caught a mess of spadefish. I kept a few as they are supposed to be good eating. After a couple hours of that I went 4 more miles offshore to a group of four, larger old platforms. Water was spectacular out there, I could see fish 30'...

Padre Day 2: Went down the beach 35 miles and camped and fished. Trolled a couple swim baits about a half mile offshore and caughtht a couple King Mackerels. Those dudes took me for a ride! Hit my rod with 20# test so I had to let them do their thing and wear themselves out while I pedalled like...

I took the week off to head down to Padre and do some fishing from the kayak offshore. Currently drifting back to the beach from 5 miles out with a nice signal so let's post a couple pics! Day 1- Hit up a platform about a mile from the beach at Mile 5 of Padre Island Seashore. So much action...

We run all our drains underground via 4" pipe to pop ups.

Yep, when you have a tight space between an existing patio and a pool you have to add mucho drains. Everything has to drain away from the house and the pool so it's either little 4" bowl drains or channel drains. We don't usually use channel drains unless there's a big oopsie to fix because the...

All that that backyard could handle. It might have been 9-10k gallons. Here's a normal size one I plastered last week. Looks nice, little swim up bar.

I have the deck guys coming back right now to at least attempt to backfill it properly. If it gets fucked they will have to fix it.

Finished that little play pool a few weeks ago.

They are used to hard work outside and digging in tight spots but those boys don't have to chase turds.

Those are my plumbing subs, their boss is also their uncle, but I seriously doubt it

This is what it looks like when the deck guys get sloppy and get wet concrete in the auto fill and overflow lines.

Every action that was perpetrated by governments during Covid was absolutely malicious. Why would this be any different? I don't "they" are all in on it. But "they" will damn sure take advantage of any hysteria to increase their own power and wealth. And yes, plenty of retards that will go along...

911/War on Terror: governments get to use their new spy toys on their own citizens. Covid: governments test the limits of fear based compliance and draconian authoritarianism. Aliens: governments get to test out their new deep fake/AI technologies on their citizens already knowing how far...

Look man, I want to know more. I want to believe we aren't alone. I want to be assured that there is a higher intelligence above our fake and gay species. But testimony isn't proof of anything and "Planet Earth" did not learn that we aren't alone. I hate being such a cynic but for fuck's sake...

You mean to tell me a 1 km high wall of water wouldn't still be 1km high after travelling a thousand miles?? What are you some kind of water wizard? You probably believe the moon landing was real. Fucking retard.

Umm....20 years from 1997 was 2017. Not 2027 as suggested in that tweet. Also that video looked fake as fuck. I love how their treating a "medical emergency" in a sinister, darkened room with flashlights. The more I look into this stuff the more it seems about as credible as flat earthers. That...
