Had a long meeting with drafter yesterday to finalize any tweaks to our plan. One of my main concerns was the front elevation and roof line. Originally it was a 10:12 pitch and I thought everything looked too big and tall, and wanted more horizontal emphasis since it is already a large house...

Took me two nights to finish this and it is unredeemably bad. The only slight slight cool thing in it was when blonde chick got sishkabobed from behind my Pyramid Head. Every single thing about this was terrible and none of it in a good or charming way. I’d rather watch the entire Resident Evil...

I'm honestly not sure about the foundation thing either, but after following Facebook groups about home construction the last year it appears to happen fairly often. Being off a bit, being slightly the wrong size, other inconsistencies. We just had our house plotted on the parcel from the survey...

I had to look it up because even consuming a ton of British TV, Movies, and Pop Culture it isn’t even a familiar vocabulary word. ChatGPT said maybe Welch’s Grape Juice or a concentrate, but that didn’t really seem correct.

Oh that’s great to know! The floors look good too. Have the counters held up? We have 3 young boys so that’s definitely part of what we’re considering. The Amerock (I think it’s the company, going blind on the names) are from $5 - $70 or something for the 12” pulls. It is crazy when considering...

Tom didn’t let you down with MI2, John Woo let us all down. It was such an odd swing and a miss. We got doves 🕊️, at least. The Killwr, Hard Boiled, Broken Arrow, Face Off, his short film for BMW with Clive Owen…. So good, and it just wasn’t meant to fit with Mission Impossible sadly.

I’ve still got my space toilet Toto planned for our bathroom. Heated seat and all. I did my best with the granite but, of course, she immediately loved the Calacatta Taj Quartz for our kitchen. I’m fine, it’s got colors and not stark white. Looking at it also made us rethink our cabinets from...

I didn't see this before but Lividian Publications is planning on releasing every Robert McCammon book in a unified format at pretty reasonable hardcover prices, smyth-sewn binding, dust jackets, new artwork. $65 isn't bad...

I used to have my accountant do that through their payroll service but this year I switched to Gusto and they don’t automatically take out estimated taxes. So I have to plan for quarterly estimated payments and quarterly pass through entity taxes. Gemini helped me do the math and it wasn’t very...

Yeeeaahhhh, a legal support company found me on LinkedIn last year b/c of something in my resume that was key to this case and they were like, "Hey, would you like to be an expert witness and interview with this firm for a case? Shouldn't be more than 10 hours or so of work." Naively I said...

Yeah, it makes sense, it just wasn't intuitive at first last year when I started figuring out our budget and plan last year. Trying to work through and understand the different LTV stuff, then what the home build would cost, then how that plays into what we could be approved for, how much cash...

We bought it outright last September in preparation for this. We knew the build process would take 6 - 8 months to get started and that would give us time to rebuild some savings to do the rest of the loan for the construction project. And then we'll use the 10 - 12 months of construction to...

Could be, but because the construction loan underwrites against the total project value (land we own and house), the land does a lot of work in the math. I confused a few times last year while trying to map it all out and put our budget together. The home build is still $1M and we’re...

No, it is fine, I'll provide whatever if it is helpful to anyone going into or thinking about the process. Yeah, based on 12 month. Loan Summary: We're doing 80/20 Loan to Value for the project. Project Value: $1,118,699 Loan Amount (80% of Value): $894,959.20 To make that 80% we're...

You’re supposed to tag me if an MP5K is displayed on the cover, you know?

Could you put the fridge where the double oven/nook is now and the nook adjacent to the sink? I’d only be worried about opening the left door of the fridge past 70 degrees or so without a large spacer between there and the wall. Putting it in the other spot gives full clearance, but you’d also...

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/23963-pontypool Since I watched Undertone earlier I wanted to go back and watch this since it has been on my list for a while. Not exactly the same premise or anything, a little bigger scope. Three main characters instead of one, inside a radio station mostly...

Will they find a way to work in Passenger by Deftones?

Yeah, when we go tomorrow afternoon I'm going to lobby for granite and see if we can find an option that wife likes. She knows absolutely nothing about any countertop material, differences, or trends and cares zero about what is in or what anyone else thinks. It could be $0.50 a foot and she's...

Signed contract and locked in at the bank. Rates dropped so we're at 6.5% for our loan with the option to drop lower if we move into non-Jumbo at conversion and could still buy points. Will have to run the numbers at closing and see.

This isn't terrible but may be hard to recommend. I do enjoy these types of movies and have said before just an actor in a room carrying the whole thing is a genre that is cool. That's mostly what this is. There are a few other "podcast" and found audio movies that are similar. Monolith is the...

This looks great.

My comments were more material based than color as far as "timeless" is concerned. Laminate, Quartz, Corian, Quartzite, Marble, whatever I mean it all goes around and around, but hardly anyone dismisses granite as being the standby or default from a "timeless" perspective. That's my read on it...

We're leaning towards Quartz as it is. I'm way more partial to Granite b/c it has proven to be timeless (people pearl clutch already b/c of the epoxy used to make quartz), we both like the colors and movement in granite more than the trendy starkness of white quartz/quartzite and heavy contrast...

Spent a couple of hours last week doing floors at a local shop, picked out what we’re pretty sure we want for downstairs in main living area, laundry, pantry, mudroom. Upstairs carpet. Close to all our flooring. We at least got product ranges and styles down if not specific colors, and made sure...

There are a few instances of hardcoded Russian subs that translate things like writing on instruments or whiteboards, signs. Nothing major. Everything else is perfect.

I never spent any time in Oslo but did spend about a week in Hønefoss and it was really nice. I concede the CZ thing as a nitpick, once again :)

Hah that's definitely true and I'm sure it is bias from being an enthusiast. Man, I'm sure we can all relate to them showing video games in movies / tv shows. The way they hold controllers and randomly push buttons, the background music. It is always so wrong and frustrating. Hah! The bird...

I'm about 3 episodes in, can barely even remember or care to pay attention. Agree with everything you say though. Also, I found it laughable where on the 1st episode they make a claim that "no one in Norway even knows what CZ is." I get that firearm culture and exposure varies greatly, but to...

Don’t you mean… FLAWLESS

So tired of looking at faucets, and tubs, and fans, doorknobs and making spreadsheets, jeez... Made a sheet to track everything we've selected so far and see where we are in general with allowance budgets. 18 different tabs with all my line items and our current selection total vs. the builder...

There was a short film by Dust that came out not too long ago. Dust is pretty popular sci-fi short troupe and puts out some interesting stuff. I also posted over in my Small Press thread a while back that Conversation Tree Press is doing an edition of the book. They had a waitlist sign up...

It's not our fault some of us grew up in Alabama and it is all we know.

There’s like 50 posts above you all saying they don’t like the visual style, man.

Yeah, I've done various ChatGPT-fu and the opportunity cost vs. what the interest rate may be at time of closing, let's say June 2027? It'll take 20-30 days to get through this loan process which puts us in the start of May. We could conceivably break ground then. My biggest anxiety, even...

That's cool to know, and the kind of feedback I was hoping for. I wish I could convince my wife to like levers instead of knobs (rimshot), but she is really not going for it. One place I have convinced her is the entry from the garage because sometimes turning that door knob with your hands full...

They’re legit. Just don’t be surprised when they ask you to pick it up in person at the Popeye’s on MLK. And bring cash.

Yeah, I don't think we would unless it came to real cruch time hah. Didn't paste our Exterior Doors. We currently have 3 from Weather shield and the front door the builder liked this Southwood Doors product. There's only so much brain power I can devote to every single decision. We're okay with...
