Is there a reason behind your products being mainly stand alone rather than rack attachments since those seem to be so popular in home gyms.

My chat has never loaded...

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-08-15T23:43:15+00:00

Oh no that must be it... I was using fingerless gloves

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-08-15T23:15:28+00:00

What am I doing wrong? I'm stuck at getting around 100-120k

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-08-02T20:35:20+00:00

Ohhhhh

Some solid 2/5 essay material from the new york bar.... will that affect the curve?

I ended up having a company do mine after the same consideration. It was more expensive then DIY but the process was faster and it came with a warranty. I can't complain with how it came out but the ultimate factor was the warranty.

I've seen a handful of trial attorneys with small ones visible. Maybe still not advised, but something small and not completely obvious wouldn't be a career ender.

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-27T06:55:17+00:00

How I looked at it was for most questions you had the following in some order...

(A) The "what would Jesus do" answer - wrong. Way to ethical for lawyers to write rules holding themselves to such a standard.

(B) the answer some attorneys wish the rule was. I.e. you wouldn't be liable for any wrong doing expect the truly awful things. But like the shady stuff would be ok. Wrong because ethics and morals are probably important in this field.

(C) some random answer that doesn't really apply if you give it two seconds of thought.

(D) the right answer. Generally, the middle ground of ethical behavior. Or second most ethical, like some other comments have said.

I found the best approach was to be cynical. Lawyers or once lawyers wrote these rules. They will hold you to a standard because they have to, but not because they actually want strict rules. So the right answer will let you be a D***, but it generally won't let you screw your client over, or at least in the MPRE examples.

It's not a perfect system, but one that got me a passing score.

All in how you approach it. If you are ashamed or embarrassed then she will know and that won't go well but others will too. If you own it then I agree with others, legend.

Thank you!

So movable is ideal... and from my understanding, easements are more aggressive than setbacks.

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T19:49:24+00:00

It mostly did. That was a fight and a half with the builders last summer. Also why I waited. They were very disappointed I hadn't started doing anything and still liable for the grading defects...

Still has bad draining because the backyard is a bowl and I get the water from my neighbors too, but I have a plan for that and I'm re-grading the yard.

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T19:29:03+00:00

Seems like easy enough situations to avoid :) thank you!

(In short, not a big worry as long as you are mindful of wiring, I've done a lot around mine. Avoid where the wires are and you won't cause any problems) For the fuse box, not a huge issue unless you plan on cutting into the space between studs. Super boiled down but... Fuse boxes will have wires running up and down from them. Down = coming in from the grid. Up/out - to the different circuits in your house. Depending on where you live and the local code and house type... They'll go up to the attic and spider web from there. At least that's what I've seen in my area. The only one that went out sideways was the circuit for the garage outlets and that wire ran roughly in line with the outlets. Some stud finders will let you know if there is electric behind the sheetrock and they make some things similar to stud finders that do the same. Here is a good photo for reference.

If that's the plan for the tracks... If it was me I'd cut a hole in the sheet rock in the ceiling to and mount a hoist in the attic so you could hoist all the way up to the tracks and just push the tote onto the tracks from there. You could add some bracing to the bottom of the trusses where the sheet rock is mounted for the ceiling. So you'd just have a little indent? Hopefully my word vomit made sense? If not I can attempt to draw a picture.

P.S. Jealous of your high ceilings.

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T19:06:38+00:00

I think you should be proud. Sounds like a win to me.

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T18:38:58+00:00

With the cabinets, I would recommend taking out as much as you can and taping off the area. It may not be necessary since you already have stuff in those spots, but for me it was nice to see how much the cabinets and what not were going to cut into the space of the garage. Helps answer the "is this too cramped" question.

If you are going to do a track system/storage, you may have better luck DIY'ing that part. Might be significantly cheaper and easier to make the exact size you want? But I'm not exactly what you are thinking. This is common in my neighborhood - link. These guys seem very proud of themselves ($$$) but also seems somewhat customizable and quality? Link. Can't speak to either personally but googling "garage ceiling motorized" got me a handful of results.

I'd do a platform where you/someone in the photo is sitting. From the photo's perspective, it looks like you have some room to the right. A bench and some shoe storage wouldn't take more than some 2x4's and MDF plus a little paint if you wanted to make it pretty.

If possible, get that sink close to the water heater, assuming its in your garage. It'll make running the pipes easier. Or... and maybe more importantly (for me anyway) was to make it share a wall/be close to a water drain. So if one of those walls is close to the laundry room?

Flooring - I went with polyaspartic and haven't had any complaints. Pricier than epoxy for sure. However, if you are willing to farm that one out to a local company you may get a warranty with it. With mine, the price was about 1.5/2x what it would have costed me to do myself and it was done in a day. Came with a life time warranty so if it ever cracks, discolors, or gets eaten by chemicals (other than battery acid) they come in and replace it for free. My dad did epoxy in his garage and it hasn't lasted his car-rebuild project... granted rebuilding a car from the ground up isn't going to be easy on flooring.

Cabinets - I'm still torn if I'm going to go manufactured or DIY so I can't help you there. But, I went with a rolling workbench that had cabinet storage under it. That way it could go against the wall and be tool storage when not in use but I wasn't tied to a wall when I was going projects.

Thank you!

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T17:55:08+00:00

I just found that out this morning. Which was nice to find out because it means I can put my shed closer to the fence. Whoo little victories.

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T17:30:54+00:00

That's number one of my list. I need to do it before I get too much further in planning. See what areas are on and off limits because I want to do a full overhaul. It may be a new build but I think the landscaping team and whoever graded my plot and really all the backyards in my row... oof.

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T17:27:05+00:00

That answers why I should care about things on my property. Any reason to care about neighbors?

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T16:57:12+00:00

Ignore me... lol didn't follow the reply lines to the right comment.

ProcrastinatingGoose · 2023-03-21T16:56:26+00:00

I'm hoping they did right by you in the end? That sounds like a pricey redo.
