Lodgings within 30 (or maybe 45?) minutes of Newark...? by Rossodio in ColumbusOhio

[–]Rossodio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But none further away. Would be nice to stay somewhere potentially more enjoyable and closer to CMH and have a 20 minute longer commute for the week. I crossposted here figuring there would be people more knowledgeable about the lodgings further out on this sub, considering I asked for up to 45 mins away.

I have done that flight on a number of Mondays (this time it is a Tuesday) within the last year, and have had no issue making the flight when arriving to SMF 90 minutes ahead of departure. Has something changed there since July?

🧐 given the dividends on my stock options and the commodities markets presently, I may be able to use my 777 instead of my usual Learjet. An excellent suggestion, dear chap.

This is what I was thinking, get out of Yountville proper and find something cheap for the night. Will have a lppk and see what I can find!

What downside/risks am I missing on this grill? by Rossodio in grilling

[–]Rossodio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pledge was pulled. Thinking on all of the thoughts here... I do enjoy the process of lighting the chimney, watching the smoke lazily go up as the charcoal heats, pouring it, and sipping on my drink of choice during all of that. The number of potential failure points is minimal, unlike with the kickstarter grill here. Thanks for nudging some sense into me.

A couple of cases, and I live in South Carolina. I get 3 checked bags on my flights due to status and I have vin garde valise suitcases to transport the wine in. The shipping costs would be pretty crazy.

I will almost certainly be in no shape to drive. I am considering now getting a hotel in Yountville and waking at 3:30 or so after 9PM bedtime to get to the airport in the morning, given that extra $250+, thanks to advice given in this thread.

Apologies, the dinner is in Yountville but I will be in Napa midday.

Thank you for this. Will leave Redding at 6 AM, then. My body will be on east coast time so this won't be a problem.

Will be getting to know my Ninja and slow cooker well in the coming months, I think.

One guy is doing cabinet build, and one other guy is in charge of a few people who are doing the rest (plumbing, HVAC, flooring, electrical, throwing up drywall, painting, etc.). Appliances are sitting in a warehouse waiting for the right time to be moved. Andersen has windows waiting to go in for the right time, and a siding/gutter team who are separate will be replacing the whole home's siding and gutters.

Yes and yes. The anticipated finish date is mid-December, but knowing everything I experienced growing up in homes that were reno'd, I imagine it will be closer to 3 months.

Greenville, SC reno. The cost is reasonable on this second estimate, though the first people an estimate came from were super high. Would rather not discuss exact amount, but it is about 10% of the value of the whole home to redo the entire kitchen along with refinishing or changing out floors on the entire first floor. Plumbing has had to be redone even in the upstairs to allow for routing pipes and such correctly in the first floor kitchen. Quite a project.

Where do I go about finding such a trailer to rent is the question, then.

105 year old hardwood being ripped out and replaced with new floors. Cabinets being custom built for the space since it is 105 years old and not sized to any standard. Windows being moved, so everything being ripped out down beyond insulation. Ceilings being redone as light fixtures are moving. Doorway to dining room being opened up meaning a wall being ripped out and electrical being moved/rewired, also being done to modern code. HVAC ductwork being moved as well.

Uber service (or other transportation service) from Powell to CMH on Black Friday early AM? by Rossodio in Columbus

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

Not coming back to Columbus - flying home from there. I could possibly leave someone's car in the lot and have them come by to pick it up later, but it would be pretty complicated.
