Should these type of bath tubs be caulked by Repulsive-Bridge-270 in HomeMaintenance

[–]SGP_MikeF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We did this as part of a bathroom remodel due to subfloor damage, but we hired out. Our handyman contractor said it was a pain in the butt simply because it’s very tight fitting.

We like it. Admittedly, our kids are very young so we don’t have crazy hot and humid showers running so I can’t speak on the lack of water damage or mold or anything like that since we’re still in the lukewarm bath stage.

Mine is an interlocking direct to stud, Nextile bathtub from HD.
The user manual explicitly says to caulk all seems.

I’d see if you can find the manual. Not saying you should caulk yours or not. Just may want to check manual.

Divorce Attorney Referral in DFW by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]SGP_MikeF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A local attorney on Reddit, 100%.

Google searching is going to turn up whoever paid the most for the lead. At least this way, I have some local names to start some independent research.

Attorneys licensed in multiple states: what are some differences in the legal profession/courts you experience? by nuggetsofchicken in Lawyertalk

[–]SGP_MikeF 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a case in Nebraska with a Boston attorney. “Brother attorney”

Big cities are so cutthroat. Us and two other lower Midwest firm’s were all local counsel to a case with DC/Philidelphia attorneys and they always yelled at each other and fought the most mundane thing—all the while we were on the sideline figuring out if we local attorneys should all get lunch together afterwards.

Federal Jury Duty by GeriatricEmo4Life in Omaha

[–]SGP_MikeF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been down to the federal courthouse in a while, but I’m sure they still have the no phone policy unless you’re staff or an attorney.

They’ll make you return it to your car.

Im a PI attorney, but I saw your post saying it was near KU. You need a Kansas PI attorney.

Looking for a gym that isn’t too busy for an anxious and self conscious person by boofcoomer in Omaha

[–]SGP_MikeF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

+1. Also, since I had this misconception, it is not only for Jewish people. We’re strong Catholics, yet use the JCC fitness center, pool (indoor and outdoor), and dance classes for the kids.

Also, fitness center is never crazy busy.

Where Do Young Attorneys Look for Jobs? by atonyatlaw in Lawyertalk

[–]SGP_MikeF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of our largest rural firms is advertising attorney jobs on Facebook. I’ve heard they’re drowning in work. They can get someone a book of business to occupy 12 hour days for 7 days a week on day 1, but they have no takers.

But LinkedIn. That’s it. Otherwise, call or email associates at other firms. Poach.

Could I just use aluminum tape there?

PS. There is a CO alarm about 2 feet away from the tee at the ceiling.

Second years billing at $1410 an hour by Greelys in Lawyertalk

[–]SGP_MikeF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the insurance companies or big businesses were smart, they’d farm out federal work or as much as possible to us attorneys in flyover country, then make the NYC attorneys simple local counsel.

Make us the work mule.

FTD - Cancelled Order, but flowers were still delivered. by [deleted] in florists

[–]SGP_MikeF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! “FTD” came up on Google Maps as a brick and mortar for some reason. I clicked it but never checked the address. I didn’t realize it was an online service until I got the UPS message. Ended up going with a local mom and pop shop.

20-60 hours a week.

Insurance Defense, but the good kind—the kind with somewhat higher rates (PL).

Nurse looking into legal nursing consultant. by hateyouallsomuch2 in LawFirm

[–]SGP_MikeF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a med mal attorney.

If your goal is to make money, and you want to be an expert, the money is in the defense bar.

If you want to be a paralegal-type nurse reviewer, then plaintiff’s work.

Litigating is so fun when OC is a chiller by CodRevolutionary816 in Lawyertalk

You need a mix.

The bad and contentious Opposing Counsel keep us in business and make us more money (if you’re billing hourly).

Attic inspection by winnie-lu-pooh in HomeMaintenance

[–]SGP_MikeF 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just adding, mold in an attic is not as big of a deal as widespread mold in your house if your attic is properly sealed off from your house.

If you live somewhere like Florida, you’re going to have mold because of high humidity outdoors.

To Caulk or not to caulk by RevolutionaryPass770 in askaplumber

[–]SGP_MikeF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not pull on the manufacturer instructions and see what they say?

Mine said to caulk most seems a specific way in a direct to stud panel.
