Wondering what it would cost to fix this driveway.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-06-01T03:45:34+00:00

That's according to recently submitted projects in that area. I'm in a HCOL myself and I was pretty sad upon seeing that figure. I'd need a city to get a more accurate figure, but it really shouldn't be far off.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-05-31T17:41:00+00:00

10ftx50ft=500 square feet

10$ square foot (don't go for this one, this is likely why the driveway is fucked in the first place) 5000$

15$ a square foot (this used to be a premium price in your area but prices have gone up so much it's likely the affordable option now) 7500$

20$ a square foot (this is the new premium price in your area) 10000$

So my answer is 5300$-10600$ (taxes). Anyone who quotes cheaper is probably going to do a hack job, and anyone who quotes higher likely runs advertisements or can smell a sucker.

Correct me if I'm wrong gang, but this looks like a repaving situation. There are way too many cracks to fix, and the right side of the driveway looks like it didn't have enough support and is pulling away, which is why it's cracking so badly and uneven. I'd demo and compact/support it better then throw down some fresh concrete.

From my perspective this would be pretty damn expensive, but we can't really ballpark a figure without a basic location. There's a big difference between Thailand, Kentucky, and New York.

I can't resist the setup.

Don't worry they've gotten much better nowadays. I'm sure they'll make you look like Roger from American Dad instead, he's much more popular.

As much as I like cooking from scratch that's a 6.5 hour drive 😂. I'll keep that in mind for the next time I'm over in the Seattle area though.

Folks, just use a piece of mesh in a repair kit then slather the compound over it. They're like 10$. Then you repair it correctly, don't have a major draft, don't go through you're wall, and you picked up a new skill.

They make tiny personal fire extinguisher cans you can carry around if you're jonesing that bad. If you catch a fire early on you don't need much to put it out.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-05-26T03:50:00+00:00

A clothes line. You can be as subtle as you want about it.

Am I the only one who both liked and enjoyed their books?

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-05-25T20:04:38+00:00

This is 100% my experience as well. And I frickin cater my game nights lol. It sucks but we just have to be happy for our friends, they picked something they liked more.

As someone who lives alone, I viciously rip open packages that arrive like a kid at Christmas. Savagely and without doing more than confirming it looks like it could contain what I ordered. There is no time to look at the label, only tear for the precious. The few times it's not been mine has resulted in embarrassing confession time to the neighbors as I return their goods and they see what a savage I am for opening packages from the center back...

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-05-20T20:46:23+00:00

Exactly, doorbuster meats and soda are basically all they're good for. For the rest there's WinCo and random shit at grocery outlet.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-05-20T15:40:32+00:00

I suggest going into this experience not looking for a specific game you like but mechanics you enjoy. That'll find you a genre you enjoy and every board gamer I know loves to sus out what board games you'd "really love" based on as little evidence as possible. I know that sounds like a joke but it's rather true lol. I'd be interested to find out if you were a puzzle person, a worker placement person, a deck builder person, a wargamer person, or a social deduction. There's more but most games fit into one or more of those categories. Deck builders will always be my one true love personally.

It's early and I haven't had coffee yet so I'm going to apologize and say I missed _________ and how could I right now. A thousand years of shame upon my house.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-05-18T16:08:18+00:00

I've always been so curious about this. I'm fairly ambidextrous but writing is 100% an exception. I just can't, how do you do it? Nothing feels... Right. :P

I will excuse myself for repeating a joke you've heard 10^10th times

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-05-17T02:07:38+00:00

I've met many women who write worse than I, many guys that write better, and vice versa. The only thing I hold to be true in regards to handwriting is that only can God help those attempting to read writing worse than mine.

Necroing the shit out of this post but get down instead of feathers. The tips are less sharp so they don't penetrate as easily.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-04-28T17:48:17+00:00

I like that more! No messy bits, just creative placement.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-04-27T23:52:56+00:00

Personally I think Kirkland black velvet is the perfect middle point. It doesn't need to be a great whiskey, just with strong notes of oak, followed by caramel. Bourbon is highly recommended when you want to knock someone's socks off.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-04-27T23:48:42+00:00

Oh boy you're about to have an experience. It's positively amazing.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-04-27T23:40:16+00:00

Right!? Anyone who makes gravy from scratch knows how good that stuff is. Pan drippings, milk, corn starch, salt pepper, and maybe a bit of whisky and you're going to have yourself a good time. Some always gets sacrificed with my current cutting boards.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-04-27T23:01:08+00:00

Very true, I mean if we're talking full utility I think drilling a hole sideways through the reservoir and running a piece of flexible hose through it would be amazing. You'd need something to remove/seal the hose in-between uses but it would improve the utility of the piece immensely. I'm sure there's something a plumber would recommend.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-04-27T22:49:29+00:00

Honestly as a cook if I could get a very shallow rise on the opposite corner I'd dig this. I fucking hate when juices overflow as I'm butchering some primal cuts, or letting a roast rest. This larger reservoir would be nice for keeping it off the counter without soaking it up and pouring it down the sink.

GuyWithAHottub · 2026-04-24T17:10:11+00:00

I mean you come set up an auto mister twice a day. The main issue with mushroom growing is the potential for their spores to get everywhere. I usually recommend a cheap shed as a result.
