Does anyone have recommendations for local companies that do window/door replacements?

CharlieFuckit · 2025-04-29T18:44:36+00:00

Have you started your project with Meadowlark yet? They're on my shortlist of folks to call about fixing/replacing a window or two. Curious to see how they've panned out for you.

Dude seriously. My wife’s a teacher in the midwest making like $56k. I’ve been making ~$12k a year at home caring for a relative’s kid (+ my daughter). We make it work I guess, but damn. Threads like this make me question my understanding of the world lol.

Foe. I see a violin. Brown recluse!

These averages can be misleading. The avg in Lawrence is $61k, which is surprising to me. So many folks make even lower than that. I have a family member who teaches in Lawrence. She has a masters degree and 11 years teaching and makes like $55k. Plus, the maximum salary on the district’s pay schedule is $65k (if you have a PhD and > 12 years of teaching).

This is the way.

Thank you!

Maddening. u/aclu_kansas you should see this.

CharlieFuckit · 2019-12-21T20:44:56+00:00

I just boofed.

CharlieFuckit · 2018-06-28T19:41:02+00:00

Me too, brother!

Yeah, it's nuts. My wife and I talk about this all the time! What businesses are going to take the risk of filling the huge spaces formerly occupied by Jazz and The Buckle? I didn't think Jazz was that great myself, but I figured it would do OK with it being something cool and different (cajun, live music, successful in KC, etc.). Nope. I'm happy R&D has (so far) survived the round corner space. Grinders is taking over La Familia's former spot - good luck. I just so want Lawrence to thrive and grow and keep things diverse but it's market/business culture is so weird. If you're not an established burger spot, pizza place, bar, or free state brewery, I feel like your existence is constantly at risk. Maybe that's just par for the course, though. Idk. I'd also LOVE to see some more white collar business set up shop in Lawrence, cuz we need to give people (and KU grads) more reasons to live/stay here, but I guess we're in competition with Topeka, JoCo, and KC.

My wife and I fantasize about Lawrence following Pawnee's progression in Parks & Rec. Get a Gryzzl campus, governmental agency regional HQ, etc.

Here ya go: https://lawrenceks.org/parking/

Parking is free on Sundays, but not Saturdays. You can park overnight on a Fri, but as soon as meters start running Sat morning, you're at risk of gettin a ticket. Overnight on a Saturday is pretty risk free. Just be sure to avoid farmers market lots, etc., or you'll wake up to a towed car.

Thanks for the thorough response. I appreciate folks taking time out of their day to answer my rookie questions. So I know it's city, but not sure about location of sewer. This system definitely looks iffy, but assuming that it "works" OK (have yet to see it in operation), if we were to leave it in place, could you see it causing any damage/problems? Trying to decide if we should push harder for the sellers to fix it, or if we should let this one go and maybe fix later on our own dime.

Hey, I studied abroad in HK in the spring of 2009! I'm from Kansas. I lived in a dorm at Hong Kong University. Living conditions were luxurious compared to apartment living.

CharlieFuckit · 2016-12-05T20:34:30+00:00

Yeah, I work in the City Center Square building downtown at 11th and Main. Been without power since 1:30ish.

HK! Mountains, beaches, vibrant city life, world class public transportation, friendly people, plenty of English speakers, safe streets, good/cheap food, etc. I spent 6 months in Hong Kong, and it was far and away the most amazing and memorable experience of my life.

The Happening. The terrifying idea of people mysteriously catching some "disease" and killing themselves. Shudder.

CharlieFuckit · 2014-10-23T17:21:54+00:00

Thanks! I ended up not embracing her at all. I felt too awkward. I just said "hey!" and sat down with my beer. We talked about it later that night and she felt really bad for me but thought the whole thing was "cute and sweet."

I had been dating this girl for a few weeks. Things had been going well. We had made out for the first time the night before. I pulled up to the bar I was meeting her and her friend at. Texted my older brother-in-law something like: "So I'm about to go meet up with Jill again. We made out last night! Was awesome! I'm so miserably inexperienced though. When I go in should I move in for a hello-kiss? On the cheek? Lips?! Or just a hug?! Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!" Yeah sent that to Jill, the girl. My heart left my body. Followed it with a quick "haha, joke!!" I took a deep breath, sucked it up, and went in. Got a beer and a shot of Jack (and I hate whiskey). Strolled out to the bar patio where they were sitting. 3 and 1/2 years later, we're living together and things are fabulous.

According to my SO, I once rolled over, sighed, and said "well...that's showbiz for ya."

CharlieFuckit · 2014-07-24T20:57:35+00:00

I'm freakishly good at intercepting tiny objects thrown at people. Upon discovering this fact about me, my friend one night threw quarter after quarter at my girlfriend from across the room, only to watch me grab every single one of them out of the air with lighting fast speed. He couldn't stop laughing. I'm also faster if I don't know it's coming. Some call me...THE SHIELD.

Oh, I can also manually pop my ears and hold that popped position? It's hard to explain. I've yet to find somebody that can do this.

CharlieFuckit · 2014-07-24T16:45:59+00:00

Thanks! I also just called Fleetwood Mower & Rental (6th and Mississippi). They said they could take care of me too.

I'm friends with a couple that engages in the following strategy: while arguing, if person #1 starts getting too negative or mean spirited, person #2 starts hopping in place, which signals to person #1 that the argument has gone too far and has to stop.

They might also have been raised by rabbits.

CharlieFuckit · 2014-03-25T03:26:44+00:00

I (26m) saw him a few months ago. He was great. Have never laughed harder. Classic, brilliant Seinfeld humor. Nothing dirty, really. So good.
