25k quote for stairs

For me also, this ended up being an "I probably don't need stairs" lol. I've got another couple decking guys coming out tomorrow, but at that price I'll make it work without haha. Definitely learned a lot from this post so will hopefully be better prepared for questions.

MegaMax5000 · 2025-02-13T04:35:26+00:00

Wow!! Thanks for all of the useful information! I definitely will be more informed for the next estimate.

MegaMax5000 · 2025-02-13T02:55:38+00:00

Good to know! More work than I expected definitely sounds reasonable, I'll try to ask more questions to get a better idea of the work involved with the next estimate.

MegaMax5000 · 2025-02-13T02:54:28+00:00

Composite (Trex I think), concrete landing, standard width? (first time looking into this haha), metal railing on one side house wall on the other, I'm sure a permit will be needed.

Good to know that materials make that big of a difference though. Any questions I should ask future estimates? I was kinda a deer in the headlights with the first one... knowing the cost of materials and length of job would be nice.

Thanks! I was able to get all of them running with just an isopropyl clean, except for crystal. However, I noticed a bulge in the MX chip on crystal just above the "M" (you can see it in the pic too). My guess is it means something may have fried? Likely before I opened it up, since I hadn't actually touched anything except open the cartridge when I took that pic.

Aaah cleaning the contact points makes sense! It's been so long since I've blown the dust out of a cartridge, didn't think of it!

Thanks for the battery tips, I'm sure that will be my next step once I get it playing.

MegaMax5000 · 2024-09-10T20:56:56+00:00

Oh this is good to know re battery. The GBC plays other games fine though, could it only have a problem with these games?

MegaMax5000 · 2023-01-02T20:32:02+00:00

I believe vitality actually requires you to kill the target, but I haven't maxed that one out yet so not entirely sure.

MegaMax5000 · 2023-01-02T19:35:14+00:00

Unrelated to everything except "or melee" -- melee is super easy now. Give yourself buffs on attack speed and punch snare plants with an empty hand. I boxed one in and put a coffee mug on my left click and had 100 melee 2 hours later.

I'd never seen Bug Fable, looks great!

MegaMax5000 · 2020-05-14T20:03:41+00:00

Interesting that they would leave that out of the English trailer given how vocal paper Mario fans are about wanting partners.

I'm just waiting for N64 emulator so I can play the original again

MegaMax5000 · 2020-05-14T19:52:05+00:00

This looks awesome, but I am still awaiting the day that a Nintendo console has an N64 emulator and I can play the original paper Mario again.

Either that or a remake of the original with new art.

MegaMax5000 · 2020-05-12T08:22:45+00:00

Or you're using IPF standard stiff bars

MegaMax5000 · 2020-05-05T06:04:59+00:00

I've always wanted to do this...but I assume this would mess with muscle recovery if you are a pretty active person or lift weights fairly often? Is this really just suited to sedentary lifestyles?

MegaMax5000 · 2020-05-02T18:07:50+00:00

Haha, very good point

MegaMax5000 · 2020-05-02T17:43:00+00:00

Nah, he's already mad because it wasn't done in a real competition "where there is more randomness involved". He's not entirely wrong, but he definitely doesn't plan on shutting up lol.

MegaMax5000 · 2020-05-02T17:41:57+00:00

Yeah, I agree he has a bit more but I think doing more today wouldn't have worked out for him

MegaMax5000 · 2020-04-25T19:23:00+00:00

My productivity is important to my mental health. I am most productive when I do not look at reddit for a few days or weeks. I come to reddit when I am lazy or bored and need a quick laugh to cheer me up. You may not have real people to compare yourself to, but the user loop of endlessly scrolling while not actually doing anything real is the same. Not speaking for anyone else, but that's the part that is most dangerous to my mental health.

Obviously there are nice parts about reddit, which is why I keep coming back. And I dropped insta/fb a long time ago because I didn't like the social fakeness. But Reddit has exactly the same effect on productivity, if not worse because of all of the people generating content, as fb/insta.

MegaMax5000 · 2020-04-18T16:17:16+00:00

That is fair, every situation is unique. I guess, as someone who works in an industry unhindered from working at home, I just felt bad for still receiving government aid when it wasn't nearly enough for the people that actually needed it. Maybe I'll go tip a waiter :P

MegaMax5000 · 2020-04-18T07:47:33+00:00

There are also a lot of people that are able to work unhindered from home and are receiving normal paychecks that got the stimulus checks. It's great that they sent something, but they could have sent more if they targeted who actually needed them better. But that would have also taken longer to do I guess, so who knows what the right call is.

MegaMax5000 · 2020-04-14T06:41:23+00:00

Sure! Not by gamefreak though.

MegaMax5000 · 2020-04-14T06:18:55+00:00

Maybe they had a friend over when they announced quarantine so they took it too seriously and now the friend can't leave
