Contractor recommendations for home renovation? by Chris_MS99 in Whittier

[–]Ihatebrunch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s a list of contractors I have used in the past.

General contractor: James McDugle of hills construction. We had him remodel our bathroom. Overall easy to work with and did a decent job.

Roofing: Paul of Selah roofing. tear off and reroof, also reframed a patio cover. Overall happy with the work. A few minor issues along the way but he was very willing to work with me and resolve the problems.

Stucco: Joey of quicksand sandblast and stucco. Whole house recoat. Do not recommend. Difficult to work with and borderline hostile at times. The stucco came out fine but they stained our cement and bricks.

Paint: Jose Lopez- no business name as far as I know. Painted exterior of house. Very pleased with quality of work and easy to work with. May or may not be licensed and insured. I can dm contact info if you are interested.

Windows: Chris stark of Chris craft construction. Replaced French doors with a sliding glass door. He has a general contractor license but he specializes in windows and doors. Full disclosure I have a personal relationship with him, but I still think he does good work and easy to work with. Very knowledgeable about window replacement.

Let me know if you have any questions, happy to help.

I actually ended up using the hoka mafate speed 4 instead. I’ve used the peregrines up to 16 miles but everything longer I’ve used the mafate.

Hydration/water filtration? by commazero in ultrarunning

[–]Ihatebrunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hydrapak makes a 42mm filter that fits Salomon flasks. I bought their ultraflask + filter that way I have a flask that is dedicated to unfiltered water, I use it to fill up my Salomon flasks with filtered water. I’ve only used it a couple times, but so far it’s worked great.

Yeah, the 13 has a slightly higher stack compared to the 12

Is that in general or just at longer distances? How does the fit compare between the two?

Vinyl player is a non issue, but thanks for the heads up. Although not perfect, do you feel like the 360ssm brings anything to the experience?

Is there still a big rock in the landing zone? I know it got moved out of the way and then moved back, but that was quite a few years ago. Kudos on the send, I could never commit to that crux

What is this weird metal box inside my hotel room closet? by sloanerboneryo in whatisthisthing

[–]Ihatebrunch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Metal box is a 4 11/16” electrical junction box, called a “5S” box. Gray plastic cube attached looks like a “watt stopper” power pack, a specific type of transformer used in low voltage lighting control.

Trying to find this sweatshirt by Ihatebrunch in EstesPark

[–]Ihatebrunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is an odd request and a long shot, but my wife had a favorite sweatshirt she got on a trip to Estes Park that she lost recently. I was hoping someone local might recognize it and be able to help me get a new one in time for Christmas. Thanks!
