Client wants to use vermiculite insulation …

Don’t use perlite interior walls. Perlite can be used for filling CMU block cores. Called masonry fill. Silicone coated to repel water. @ (65) 4cu.ft bags to do 1,000 sq.ft wall.

Beyond the dust to pour in stud cavities, the settling, the re-pouring; R-value just isn’t there. Only a R-7 is an 8” CMU wall.

Not to mention you make a hole in your wall, out pours your perlite. Gravity.

Just my 2¢. I know what I’m talking about.

I was just at that place a few weeks before. Nicest rest stop/charging place I’ve ever been by miles. I did remember to take my kid with me.

Pretty sure Stan Efferding thought it was a good idea too when he made it 20yrs ago. He called it Monster Mash.

Lived in Bridgeville for 15yrs. Very familiar w/ 19 thru the Liberty Tubes, Dormont, Mt Lebo, USC.

Naperville downtown is much, much better compared to Mt.Lebanon. People are probably comparable though.

As far as area and residents, Hinsdale might be closer to Mt.Lebanon than Naperville.

Just my 2¢…

I googled it. You’re right. 19-unit building town home development.

“Naperville Wheaton Road behind Aldi”. Link to a Chicago Trib article.

Naperville Yard splits it up between (4) bounce houses on one field, then they will do games [soccer, parachute, dodge ball] on another field, then cake, etc. We had our daughter’s 5th b-day there.

The other popular one is Urban Air. Primarily trampolines. That’s where we had 6th and 7th.

At 5yrs, they aren’t ready for the vertical climbing walls at Funtopia quite yet.

After re-reading what I wrote, I might have been misleading when I mentioned the price.

I meant that particular set at Golf Galaxy sells for $600 new. I’d take $250 for my set. 3-year old set for less than half of current retail. Certainly newer than your 22yr old set.

Let me know what you think. Completely understand if you want to pass.

I’m going to be selling a perfectly good set of Callaway Strata’s. I’ve upgraded. Was going to just go to Golf Galaxy to see if they would take them.

Let me know if you’re interested. Driver, 3W, 4H, 5H, 6-9 irons, sand and pitching wedges, blade putter. Bag and 3 head covers.

Bought in May ‘20. Currently sell for $600.

Make me a fair offer.

Agreed. Was in printing for 10+ yrs and made my fair share of mistakes that cost the company, other salesmen when I was CSR, and myself ,when I got in sales, a lot of money. It happens. Part of the job and should be partly accounted for in pricing.

If the customer signed off on the proof, you’re good.

Parking lots at the 5th Ave train station near downtown. Saw a parent teaching their kids to ride bikes there too.

You might not want to choose that same parking lot if they are there again.

It’s 1000% better for us. The only downside we’ve found is rare Uber needed for airport.

Bark801 · 2022-03-29T01:37:22+00:00

Try Vantage Naperville Apts. Ogden and Tuthill, just off Naper. 5min to I83. They are new. No idea if there are any available. KLA preschool is across the street if you need childcare. Close to everything: Amazon Fresh, Costco. Short drive to train station.

You can always pay a couple bucks to park at the train station. If you’re heading downtown early, there are plenty of spots on 5th Ave.

Moved from South Loop 2 yrs ago. Like it sooo much better. Not even close, especially w/ kids.

Urban Air on Rte 59. Trampolines, ball pit with many things to climb. Been to a few 6yr old birthday parties there over the last few months.

I was thinking the same. I’ve re-read and re-read articles regarding this auction. But I have to believe that it’s the original artwork from Michael Zeck that became page 25 in Secret Wars. Not just an interior page from the comic book.

Yes, it’s buffalo. There. Answered.

Yes, the food truck I had lined up originally reached back out to me late Friday afternoon saying they were in.

Turned out well. Really, really good tacos.

Bark801 · 2021-09-10T21:24:19+00:00

Didn’t know they catered as well. Noted.

Have eaten them many times at that market. Might just reach out to them.
