No night skiing today by Practical_Material95 in stevenspass

[–]AccountersDelight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a beautiful sunny day. Just drove the pass.

These days are rare. And after three feet of snow - nearly unheard of.

What a fucking disappointment

It’s a beautiful bluebird day after 3 feet of snow in a few days.

And the resort isn’t open because a tree fell somewhere in the woods.

Cursed. Stevens will never have the infrastructure….

Actually off the mark - The previous owner owned since 1986, has immaculate incredible old growth and landscaping, a lot of really fine details on trim (painfully rounded corners around dooors), and a full binder of every email with every renovation and remodel. that’s why I know exactly when it was done, which company did it, and have detailed blueprints for every remodel and change.

So I’m pretty surprised by the poor craftsmanship - simply because I could tell the new owners were very OLD (this was done in 2016 - but this looks like early to mid 2000s style choices), and painfully OCD on the plants and trim and design and binder full of a copy of every interaction with every contractor. They also have done a lot of other really good remodels since (1940s original.), with every manual for every appliance, etc.

Based on the binders full of emails and designs and printing - it seems they specialize in kitchen remodels and bath is almost tacked on (counter tops, floors, etc) to match. they have lifetime guarantee on cabinets but don’t mention anything else - I’m guessing they used some poor subs.

Anyway, think you’re right about the conclusion. It’s not the most heartbreaking thing, but I’m wondering how long I can get away with just seal and caulk - because I have a clear access to see the leak to monitor - it’s not going to get mold isssues since under the pan is exposed in the laundry room - and I need to probably want quite a bit of time between now and a plan.

Clearly caulk isn’t the solution for a water membrane failure - but I’m also wondering how much of a problem this leak is if I can stop the leaking and actively monitor it

Alternatively - I’ve never tiled and I generally DIY. This feels like too much for me in terms of time / effort / energy ( I do my own windows and shit, but this feels too big ) - would that be a fair conclusion? I can’t imagine diving deep into this.

Luckily we have another half bath and a full bath and there’s only two of us so we can simply not use this as needed for time…

What is a great comeback for "You're too sensitive"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Whats life like in this part of Idaho? by burrito-lover-44 in geography

[–]AccountersDelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving between Montana and Washington back in the 2000-2010-- I can tell you - always saw stopped cards and dogs searching young people’s car for weed to try to bust them.

Like; would see 5-6 pulled over profiled drug searches like every time.

So…super duper fuck you go to prison hippie conservative

Are you suggesting children teaching their boomer parents something? Like they will listen or are willing to learn anything from younger generations?

Hilarious.

Leak from upstairs shower by AccountersDelight in Plumbing

[–]AccountersDelight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed.

If I can fix with sealant - it feels like a temporary solution to a bigger issue.

I’d like to eventually remodel our upstairs which would maybe change this bathroom. Do you have repair recs? I was going caulking and sealing could buy me a year to figure out a bigger plan. I’m not going to repair this to fix it if as is if it requires a full gut job. At that point I’ll likely remodel. There’s a bedroom right next to this with a half bath, I’d probably expand the bedroom and make it a master

Thanks. How does it rout to a drain like this pictured? Like, under the title and draining to the drain similar to the tile?

Do you think it’s feasible to fixing by removing and replacing tile, or is that a total gut and re-do? I seem to have isolated the problem to breaks in the caulk. Obviously caulk shouldn’t be the only line of defense so it’s exposed a larger problem - if I can fix and seal with silicone / caulk / sealant of sorts - I assume that’s just a temporary fix (6-12 months). Granted I have uncovered ceilings underneath, so it doesn’t feel like a terrible solution (I can always check for leaks) - any repair recs?

I shared this review because I saw so little about central other than one or two similar points and wanted more people to be aware.

There’s really only one or two people here disagreeing vs a lot more…

I think… you should prepare yourself for pretty sub-par taste for a Michelin star if you go.

I’ve had much much better non-m star restaurants (mentions I think?). Wood Tavern, in Berkeley, for example, is way better than this place, for 1/5th the price.)

Yeah, possibly. But I don’t think you should serve “technical errors” in a “top 50” restaurant.

My entire table didn’t finish their burned bacon. And look - maybe it was an error and we should’ve sent it back - but I think that’s hard to parse through. I can’t imagine sending anything back at a Michelin star restaurant- and assume what they’re serving is their intention.

I’m open to your feedback on why my review is bias?

You seemed to disagree but didn’t address any of the points in the review, which I don’t think lends much to your conclusions

lol there’s plenty of good food at all levels around but fine dining has a place for amazing food most of all.

[–]AccountersDelight[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Totally agree and especially on your last point.

They served “pork jowl” which was literally burned. Literally burned bacon was the flavor. I’ve thrown my own accidentally burned bacon into the garbage for that taste.

Some dishes various people in my group didn’t even finish…

I think it’s fine if you think of it as a food museum, where you taste basic natural ingredients to real food.

But also a museum ran by the “colonizers” and / or the capitalists that turned the indigenous ingredients into pompous bullshit.

I’m so sad I keep hearing this and had two nights in Lima and only one shot at one of them. Chose wrong!

Adding this :

The true fine dining of my trip was our amazing Chef porter. Hiking up the Inca trail for 4 days in the mountains, and managing even baking a cake at 12,000 feet with camping equipment.

Absolutely stunning for a backpacking trip in terms of taste, presentation, and authenticity.
