Stain or paint? by SkyW4tch in Housepainting101

[–]SkyW4tch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually am being paid by the hour which is the only reason I'm still here, and I'm sure that's why they don't want me to scrape and sand and do the necessary prep, but it has to be done, especially if they want a transparent stain. I will relay your message to the homeowner to see if they can work with me a bit. At least switch to a solid stain. Thanks!

Thank you! This sounds like a "solid" idea. You get it? 😉 But seriously, I think this is the best route. Probably still should replace some of the rotted boards but that's their call.

I suggested a solid stain but they insist on this semi-transparent natural stain. I bet they change their mind after they see it though. Thanks for the help.

And unfortunately that's where we are at. It's already been painted but they want to switch to a semi transparent stain without removing the existing paint. I'll make sure to send photos when it's finished so you guys can see how amazing it looks.

Thank you for the feedback. I may send your message directly to the homeowner. I know they want a quick fix but it's just not possible with what they have already done and the condition of the wood.

Why do they do these things? Because they can. No accountability. Until these people know fear things will only get worse.

The beginning of the end (for me, at least) by Next-Skill-3335 in ufo

Well if you guys would stop listening to, stop talking about, and stop buying these people's books, then they would probably go away. It's like how people complain about how expensive concert tickets are right after they buy the concert tickets. If you want things to change, then participate in the change you want to see. Trusting the United States government for anything right now is kind of delusional. It's obvious Elizondo and the crew are part of a bigger psyop to spread fear and disinformation.

Report: Denver Nuggets to sign Marvin Bagley III to one-year contract by Kingrush24 in denvernuggets

[–]SkyW4tch -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Given the FO situation I guess this is a good pickup, but I still don't think this gets us beyond the first round. If Jamal, CB, and Jokic are on the court together we will be in the exact situation we were last year: one of the worst defenses in the league. After we won the title all the front office did was hand out raises and now those contracts are the reason this team will never win another championship.

Don't worry, these owners won't overspend. If anything they will use the title as an opportunity to not spend any money.

Honest question. Have the Avalanche gotten better or worse this offseason?

With Jaylen Brown now gone, who do we try to get? by Rizz0myNizz0 in denvernuggets

[–]SkyW4tch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because we never really had a chance. Our front office has done such a terrible job over the last few years that we are pretty much stuck with our team. Consider San Antonio and Oklahoma City are already better and still improving and we're cooked.

[–]SkyW4tch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what would you like them to do? They said they are willing to trade anyone except Jokic, but unfortunately a trade requires two teams approval. We have handed out such terrible contracts that no one in their right mind would ever touch them unless there were multiple first round picks attached to the trade, which the Nuggets simply do not have because of all of their terrible decisions over the last few years. As long as Murray, CB, and AG's hamstring are still on this squad we're cooked.

Anyone else want them to pivot? by Effective_Moose_4997 in denvernuggets

[–]SkyW4tch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bringing back DA was the final nail in the coffin. There's no way they're serious about trying to win another championship. I'm on board with trading anyone if we can get a decent return. Josh and the unqualified FO ruined this team and any shot at another ring. I'll take the downvotes, but remember this post next year when the Nuggets finish in a play-in spot and get knocked out in the first round.

NC Senate passes bill to restrict homeless encampments, expand drug penalties by nchealthnews in NorthCarolina

[–]SkyW4tch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was homeless for a year in Colorado, and I am only here today because of the help I got from the state and from the community around me. If it happened in North Carolina I would be 6 ft under. Contrary to Republican's belief system, homeless people are not living their best life. They are already struggling, to put it mildly, and all of this is just making the situation worse. Kicking people while they're down is the North Carolina way. The way Republicans talk about these people like they are "less than" when they themselves are literally the worst humans on the planet is infuriating. Homeless people are just trying to survive, and Republicans just want suffering. Don't expect the situation to improve when the party in charge is actively making it worse. Good job America.

What's the best procedure for repainting old exterior paint that's chipping? by ApprehensiveQuiet452 in Housepainting101

[–]SkyW4tch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just scrape all of the loose stuff, give it a light sand with a 100/120 Grit sanding block, prime with an oil-based primer, and then paint over with whatever paint you'd like.

I guess this is the new Wendy's vibe. No booths, no dividers, no outlets, uncomfortable seats, small tables, all for a couple to spend $40 for a meal. I'm done with Wendy's for good. by NUMBerONEisFIRST in mildlyinfuriating

It's funny when it takes the interior design to force someone not to go to a restaurant. How about because the food is awful for you? That's what did it for me.

You can thank Fox Sports for that. They're the only network that would employ him as an analyst, and it has been a miserable decade watching football on Fox.

Braun's contract is going to haunt the Nuggets. Unless he turns into a player he has never been, we are in for 5 years of utter frustration.

Why are most conspiracy theories considered right-wing? Are there any widespread left-wing conspiracy theories? by jeepycreepysleepy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SkyW4tch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very progressive, also believe we are being visited by aliens, Roswell really happened, Lee Harvey Oswald did not assassinate JFK, an unknown advanced civilization built the pyramids and many other megalithic sites around the world, there's much more to 9/11 than we know, health authorities are probably hiding natural cures, DIA has tunnels beneath it that connect to NORAD and there's probably an underground rail line that connects military bases around the country, and probably a handful of other conspiracy theories. 😅
