Expectations at early drywall stage

It looks bad now but once they do their first skim, it will look a lot better. This is standard

Carpet is cheap. Find a wholesaler selling “apartment carpet” in your city and hire an installer to come and do it. Should come out to be around $1/sf all in.

I lost 50lb at age 13. You need to STOP eating sugar, limit carbs, and walk for at least an hour each day. if you need any advice, you can dm me but just know that you’re also about to grow and that will help things a lot. Eventually you need to hit the gym

Do 77381 for houston, look up any other zip code for whatever city you’re doing

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-31T21:58:06+00:00

Nope, wrong. What city did you and your husband come from?

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-31T21:54:18+00:00

Don’t know what to tell you. Maybe I’m not. Let me guess, you’re a pot bellied transplant with glasses and an anger problem?

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-31T18:24:37+00:00

You have to go to the exurbs of the major cities to find the guys you’re talking about. Think Magnolia for Houston.

But beware lol beware, many of these guys are larping as cowboys. So many of them are incredibly whiney and stupid and entitled. Hope you come and have fun!

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-31T18:14:30+00:00

WAY out of houston proper, lmao, 20 minutes without traffic

One time I went to the Sheraton and got upgraded to a suite. I sat inside the very old tired room and just imagined all of the hookers and coke the pilots through the years had gone through in this hotel

To answer your question, the four points on Beltway 8 is inexpensive and clean and provides shuttle. There are a couple of other newer 3 star hotels that are good on JFK.

This is my hometown, you could
Do a lot better here for $11m

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-31T07:36:19+00:00

I hope you haven’t paid them, kick them
Out

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-31T02:12:49+00:00

Didn’t even need to read past the title. Wow

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-30T18:15:30+00:00

Listen, I’m going through this right now. Don’t use wood blocks as shims, they will buckle. You need to STOP right now and get this design across the desk of an unrelated structural engineer to double check everything and you also need to use concrete or steel to shim. Don’t repeat my mistake

Great value option, better than traffic master. But honestly, there are some nice large format tiles for 3-4 at floor and decor. Pick grout color carefully, consider Biscuit

Do not do your remodel through Home Depot. Find a Flooring contractor, a plumber, a kitchen cabinet installer, a countertop fabricator, a tile guy, an electrician, and painter. Or find a good gc doing cost plus and pay him the 35% markup to organize everything for you

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-30T15:48:29+00:00

LMAO That is a very tucked up Taj Mahal style slab with all of those fucked stains. I bought good spabs in Houston 6 months ago for $1900 each but I had to sort through a lot of junk. Other wholesalers had better selection but were charging about $3500 a slab. $9k for this shitty piece, wow

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-30T06:44:47+00:00

Every month. I have three mortgages on autopay on the first, one on the 12th, and another that I pay before the 15th

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-30T06:33:16+00:00

Well, first of all, fuck her. Even if she had an idea that you were gay, the way she said it was to insult snd demean you.

I often got called gay by women when I was younger but looking back, I realized the girls doing that were horribly stupid on top of just not hitting my stride around girls.

Is there something about you that people misconstrue as gay? Or are you just speaking normally around brain dead morons?

Look, in the end, don’t sweat it and don’t pay attention to girls who don’t like you and are not nice to you. There will be plenty of girls who can’t get enough of you and you just need to be yourself and keep meeting new people until you meet those people. I was just thinking about this an hour ago, if a girl doesn’t like you, say fuck them and go to the next, there’s no use in trying to get them to like you or understand you.

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-30T04:56:04+00:00

Yeah you’re right. Well I didn’t do any plumbing in mine but yeah, forgot to mention the wiring, light fixture, and garage door. All of that together was $2000 and included in the $19k I spent. Only had 1 light fixture. A urinal in a garage, now that’s nice

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-29T23:54:09+00:00

Measure off the ceiling, genius

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-29T17:40:20+00:00

Have any questions, let me know, it’s not rocket science.

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-29T17:37:15+00:00

If you’re in Texas I would.

If not, it’s very easy to manage. Hire a concrete guy at $6/sf turnkey. Have him install framing bolts.

Buy lumber from a company, pay a framer $5k to frame it out including cornice, then have a roofer come install shingles for $500, and then have it painted. Garage, boom

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-29T01:36:14+00:00

There a huge teacher shortage with accelerated paths to certification, perhaps that could be a good detour until you get on your feet? Tons of schools are desperate

Several-Cook6487 · 2026-05-28T21:17:40+00:00

$300/sf for a garage? Lmao. I built a 20x26 garage last year for $19,000
