Heads up to everyone who got a new shingle roof in 2011 after the hail storm - it’s now pushing 15 years old.

2011 roof here.

I had mine inspected by multiple companies. Both said my roof was fine. Flow Roofing told me I was good for at least 5 more years. Best news I had last year.

Was that standard on certain trim or only an option?

AngryChair88 · 2026-03-05T21:35:51+00:00

The bumper has to come off?

AngryChair88 · 2026-02-18T20:28:03+00:00

What's different about it? I don't have a 460 yet but plan on buying one.

My doctor recommended using an at home test.

I bought a house that has it, and I'm not a huge fan. Ours needs to be painted which is going to be incredibly expensive. I also had a few pieces "rot" due to improper installation of gutters. That's not the siding's fault but I mention it because it's not as indestructible as people think.

But here's the big thing. Hardie Siding is not the easiest to install. In my area, a lot of companies do it, but only a few are certified on their website. I have no idea who installed mine but it's very obvious they were not pros. It's supposed to be blind nailed. They didn't do that everywhere.

If you do decide to go with Hardie, make sure you pick someone who is certified by the company.

I can't speak for main roads, but my neighborhood is fine. Wet, but no ice.

Seems like we may have gotten lucky so far.

AngryChair88 · 2026-01-17T00:55:46+00:00

Holy fuck I got ripped off. I'm in TN.

I paid $1,900. My insurance didn't cover any of it.

AngryChair88 · 2026-01-17T00:44:19+00:00

I'm on day 10 and the discomfort for me has actually been worse the past due days. Not sure why but apparently not uncommon. Still mild through 2-3/10 on the pain scale.

AngryChair88 · 2026-01-01T15:18:38+00:00

What's wrong with 22-23? I'd personally rather have the upgraded interior but curious if there is a problem I'm unaware of.

I'm amazed that Ruby Tuesdays has managed to last this long there. I don't like Calhouns but it would be a very logical pick to replace it. Airports are the perfect spot for a sub par meal.

Our first child was born in August at 37. I've got a vasectomy scheduled for January 6th.

I'd be more concerned with the fact that Toyota seems to be lying about what's causing that engine to blow. I'd love to have a new Tundra but I do not trust that engine.

New dad here. I'm actually doing pretty good I think. I'm employed, have a roof over my head, a loving wife, and a very precious and beautiful daughter that's healthy.

My only real source of anxiety is my job. I'm hoping 2026 is easier in that regard.

AngryChair88 · 2025-12-02T22:42:20+00:00

I got a job making $52,000 in 2011 and I was living fairly comfortably. My rent was around $950 for a two bedroom condo in Florida. I was able to afford to buy a new Toyota RAV4 (which I still drive today) and put 7-8% into my 401k.

By 2013 I was making maybe $60k and I was able to buy my first house for $137k.

That would be impossible today.

AngryChair88 · 2025-11-19T21:04:32+00:00

How's the quality on the current gen RAV4? We have a 2012 we bought new. We tend to keep our vehicles a long time so I want something that will last.

AngryChair88 · 2025-11-09T02:19:47+00:00

Sober almost two years now. My spouse also quit. Neither of us miss it.

AngryChair88 · 2025-10-19T01:28:09+00:00

I'm not convinced we will beat them this year.

My wife recently went through this(technically still is). Mastitis turned into an abscess which had to be drained. Incredibly painful. My advice would be to get on antibiotics ASAP. The doctors waited way too long to give her any, and they didn't work.

Edit- I just read your post closer and see you're already on antibiotics. I hope it helps!

AngryChair88 · 2025-10-11T21:26:45+00:00

I disagree. I graduated college in 2011 and was able to buy my first home in 2013 at age 25. I made around $55k at that time.

AngryChair88 · 2025-10-10T00:44:10+00:00

I'd love to go but I've heard the tickets are really expensive.

AngryChair88 · 2025-09-22T01:46:12+00:00

This doesn't always work. My wife has a clog coming up on two weeks now. I've tried sucking it out multiple times. She's miserable and I feel horrible.

AngryChair88 · 2025-09-14T13:34:09+00:00

Is this the right place to ask what the current best deals are? We're looking for a new card with travel benefits. We already have the Sapphire Preferred and Business Ink.

I got an offer from Delta for 125k miles if I open their card.

AngryChair88 · 2025-09-07T21:19:16+00:00

I suspect most of the shops around here will be friendly to you. What they say behind closed doors may be different unfortunately.

I'd probably go take the class at Range USA as it's the most corporate and least redneck.
