    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The bad news is 3 men died high on the wall yesterday. The good news is we have 3 openings high on the wall today. Who wants to work, who wants to eat?

    Quote all right. It will change with time no matter who you are. I couldn't stand mustards when I was young and now I enjoy like 5 types of it on various food. Same goes with mushrooms and pork and peppers. On the flip side I used to love lettuce now I can barely stand it. Used to love Thousand...

    Agreed. I still remember my first tile job, my first drywall job, my first trim job with crown( and the 100' of it I wasted ) long ago. I was always a good natural framer/roofer and always a exceptional FAST painter. Some of the things it took me years of doing before I became really good to the...

    I think you all are a bit harsh on it. I mean compared to shit like Selfies and whatever garbage they try to pass these days this show has promise, especially to those without the premium networks. It for sure had some cheese in it but for a pilot I thought it was all right. Usually the acting...

    By chart I am but doctor I am not, but I do need to lose 30 lbs. I do have a tummy now in my 40's my doctor wants gone. I never said otherwise, but given my muscle mass he tells me I am not obese, but I do need to lose weight. Something a calculator will not show. There is a difference between...

    I always did. I had a dirt bike at like age 8 and I rode that thing like 10 hours a day in the summer, then in HS working out leg press was always my favorite then I jumped into roofing in HS as well and did that solid into my 30s up till a few years ago. I used to leg press around 600-700 lbs...

Most of that came in the past few years due to stress, back injury and depression of relationship but I AM still in good physical shape due to my line of work, I just have a small belly now or as I like to say 4 months pregnant. I was 155lbs with no fat...

    ^^ Truth in that, I know a lot and I mean a LOT of old people. Mostly due to my parents playing bridge with them so I pick up a lot of work that way being in restoration. They tell me and I tell the ones that don't truth so much in the day you stop doing things is the week you will die. I've...

    Course I grew up in the 70's and have no kids of my own to try and feed but I was blessed our cook was my father so I always had spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread, or hamburgers with homemade potato salad or mashed potatoes, or pasta dishes. Even the greens always had bacon bits and...

    Ya you wouldn't have ever found that. Probably $150-200 but $750 is stupid. You got to factor in 3 trips to your place in the end, trip to the material store, paperwork done at home after, It would have taken 4 hours of someone's time in the end of it all even if he was only there a hour to do...

    Depends on where you live to be honest. Around here almost all the roofs have 15lb felt on them, but it really depends on location and steepness of roof( steep roofs will get much more wear on the felt installing than a normal 3-6/12 pitch and tear easier ). Also should say once the roof is on...

    I cringe everytime I hear this. Cheap 3tab to lifetime dimensionals are a difference of about $30 a square. For a rood your size it is a difference of like $240. Plus the damn dimensional are easier imo to install. Roof companies rip people so hard in that department. A+ to Noodle for having a...

    Normal pitch Aframe like 4-6/12? Shingles I assume? That's 18-1900 sqft. Now 25 yr dimensional shingles are $75 a square here, $100 for lifetime. Course you need to add felt, nails, drip edge, plywood repair,ridge cap and so forth So around 2k materials. Dump charge on debris and stuff, 3k max...

    yes ask another company, it does cost more on vents than sq footage but both play a role due to length of lines.At your house size you SHOULD be looking at $800 to $1100 unless you live in a place where money is worthless compared to rest of US ( Cali/NY so forth). I should add that price is...

    Have had to use companies whom do that for many many years. Every fire/water damage job it has to be done to clean out soot and molds. It is effective and the good companies who do it will 100% remove the smell of smoke which means anything else will be removed/sealed as well. They will put...

    Most people always end up asking how in the hell do I install the medallion, as it has no holes, screws or anything. First thing is avoid the really decorative ones as they usually don't have a big enough inset for a ceiling fan cover so get one with a flat area around center hole. Take the...

    Ya, what I mean is a wall that is on the exterior of the house or a interior wall which is not connected to the exterior of the house.

    I'd agree that is the question is it wallpaper or the tape joint. Old houses used to wallpaper the ceiling so it may be and from the picture it seems it is wallpaper( Tape seams would be out from the wall not in the corner) but as I said the image is blurry so we really need a better image to...

    Eya- ya ceiling medallion that, you can buy a mini bag of insulation in the window/door section then use a medallion painted to color of choice( I would go silver ).

    Very good advice. When doing remodels I often take the thermostat off and check this very thing.
