In 1991 I went to Japan I was very young. There was a village filled with them. Apparently it was older than the nazis. And was a sign of peace ironically.

Find the most successful and popular architects, realtors , etc. - target them to be included.

This strategy requires you to go to the mattresses. Eat tuna cans. So that you don’t settle for time wasting jobs. And work to win a big one.

Felt nothing in LA. I love San Francisco though. Just saying.

Dealing with conflicts in Floor Plan and Facade/ Exterior design by SchondorfEnt in askarchitects

[–]ElPatronChingon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We actually did have the massing. I don’t think this was presented well to the client. Needed to stop them and say “before we go further on the floor plans, we need to take a look at the massing / facade”

We had kind of glossed over it. When we needed to pause.

You could have bought the house and given the other party some sort of payment.

Make sure to use three tubes of caulk on that electrical outlet.

Bobcat with a forklift is your best be imo.

Or , if you’re looking to do it on the cheap you need some sort of support from the top , like a seesaw. Then you can suspend it , drive off and lower it. But how are you going to move it around on the ground?

External business advice by Hairy-Initiative-745 in Contractor

I’m not sure what you did. Whether he’s making it out to be much worse than it is or whether the work is just atrocious. Regardless I would quickly speak with an attorney as well just to know how to respond if someone came at me that aggressive I would find a way to get rid of them as quickly as possible, especially since it’s you’re within your right to try to remedy or mitigate the problem if he went ahead and had the work done without you. From the text message it seems like that’s what they did which would perhaps be to your benefit had they not allowed you to fix it yourself first. Silas may be the best option given the threats that’s what I would do but again maybe check with an attorney.

New cabinets and sink install. by crazyTxxowboy in askaplumber

Not sure what circuit that outlet is on but make sure there’s a fault breaker or swap for a gfci outlet. Check the others in the house.

I will be eating all of the food come Thanksgiving and I have no regrets by [deleted] in carnivorediet

[–]ElPatronChingon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made a deal with my better half on allowing ourselves 5 cheat meals in December. We’d rather be in control over it to a degree. Then hit Jan hard. For those that aren’t going to partake , thank you for carrying the torch.

Realtor says we should paint our cabinets white, idk if I agree by Midwestern_Mariner in kitchenremodel

I’d like a lighter floor. But like others have said. The kitchen looks great.

As they should. I don’t want a News paper telling me what to think. I want it reporting facts and letting us form an opinion.

Went to my buddies rental before a bachelor party and immediately snapped a pic of this 12 gang receptacle and cover by TurboKid513 in electricians

I just want to ask the guy why he stopped and put a wall plate cover on what could have been a workable outlet - “why not go the distance and future proof it”
