    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Getting out of this will not happen overnight, but it is constantly on my mind that I am 42 now and still have a chance and hopefully some good years left. Ideally I will save up enough to just send her on her way, I feel and always felt that would be the least stressful and risky, but that is...

    Ya it was common and in some houses still works well. Last entire house I was flipping in Nashville had it all over the kitchen/dining. I took a skillsaw and cut it at 36" up, installed drywall on the top part, and chair rail between the two. I left it at the bottom because the cabinets was made...

    Ok. You got a plug that is chained there from one side to the other. Not a big issue unless the power is coming from that switch, which it probably is. That will have to be relocated and a new line somehow fed to a plug to start the chain with the others. Appears you have a HVAC trunk line...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Ya the arms and calves was from years as a roofer/remodeler. I have to go to planet fitness these days to keep it in addition to working, although I do not roof anymore. Everything I have seems to want to turn to Jelly unless I work on it all the time. I've been considering ending it for...

    Ok you posted that while I was typing. Is he repainting all of that or just the affected walls? Unless there is some weird shit in that wall you want removed, and it isn't load bearing like you think, $1200 is a ass raping on it. Demo is a few hours max. The repair is about 6 hours labor. I...

    Probably be almost as easy for them to just redo the bottom 4 foot. Existing tape seam to cut out and less patching. That does sound about right then for the drywall and paint. Although painting is fairly simple, could always do that yourself if you like. Looking at it, he used the lights to...

    I am not the most attractive thing ever no. This was a few years back. Still look the same. \ I mean where does a person who hasn't dated in 2 decades find a person who isn't std ridden, crazy psycho, married or charge by the hour?

    I rent a nice 3 bedroom with garage house from the person I was a co employee to years back and I do restoration work for his company( who is a restoration company ) about a 1/3rd of the year when I don't have jobs.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    She was always a bit odd about sex in the relationship to be honest, and never all that good at it. She didn't even know how to give a decent BJ until I told her what she was doing wrong but that was like 12 years back, she did finally improve on that. She also had a VERY bad marriage before I...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Ya she wasn't always like that but that is what it has become. The hard part I have with it is she literally has no place to go or anyway to pay for it, which it wasn't always like that either. I cannot help but think it is intentional. When I left TN in 2010 to come live back closer to family(...

    Correct you want the 2nd unit which is a remodel kit. The first one is meant to be nailed to the joists, the second one you just cut out the hole, tilt the unit and the clips will spring and hold onto the drywall. You will need to see which way your ceiling joists are running. Adding lights to...

    Oh they are worth it, both in heat cost and lifetime. They are also excellent light. The 7 watt/60 watt eqiv I got actually put out about the same as 70-80 watts and it was a natural light too not like the shit CFL's do. Wiring is SUPER easy with these , just go from existing past light, to...

    Always disconnect ground last, that'll save ya about half the shock. Most people get shocked switching out plugs, they grab a hold of it touching contact on other side while undoing a neutral or hot. Always hold a live plug at the top and bottom and leave that ground to last. 120 can kill you...

    As far as outlets go pretty easy. Especially if you can locate the final outlet in the chain. Most newer houses have the line coming in at the switch of the room then off to outlets, or to a outlet then daisy chained beyond. Adding new ones is simply picking up where last one ends and running a...

    I am shocked they are even sending them out with the server queues and issues and on launch day. I mean getting one would be awesome, but it would only add to the existing problems for the people who bought it. Seems they should hold off on guest accounts a few weeks.
