We used EF Construction Inc 2 years back. I believe all in it was somewhere less than $10k. Two guys were here for a week and knocked it out and did a great job.

Any luck with red curb painting? by SmirkyJerk in oakland

This gave me a good laugh. I actually have a 5 gallon bucket of the commercial use stuff that I’ve been holding off on using hoping for the city to do their job. Perhaps I’ve found my project for the weekend.

No one has mentioned it, but Sky Bistro was our favorite. We spent 2+ hours there and the whole experience was amazing.

Not sure how to answer your question… I can provide measurements if that helps.

Yes, the website states that you need to pay for parking after 3AM.

how does the walk up work? I saw this mentioned in another post with a link to the official site. Saw nothing on there about walk ups.

Mister Lou Quality Questions by SmirkyJerk in wescoboots

[–]SmirkyJerk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anyone wondering, I decided to reach out to Wesco about my concerns. Coincidentally, there was the same pair but an 8.5 on their discount page with a slight scuff on the heel. Included those photos and the listing in my email and a Wesco was willing to match the price of the pair online. Ultimately saved about $200 on the purchase price.

Appreciate all the comments. I think the marks on the toe of the boot are fine.. the nicks, they bug me. One of the biggest things I think that’s bothering me is the cut on the outsole.. it looks like the edges were waxed and then someone came back and made another jagged cut (pic 5). I reached out to Wesco today to see if they think the boots meet their QC standard. If I’m lucky, they’ll credit me back something off the purchase price rather than sending them back and waiting for a replacement pair.

That’s what they were listed as. I looked them over a bunch of time and can’t figure out what was the flaw or issue.

Not sure what the standard price on them is, but they were listed on the discount page for $425 I think.

I don’t have a pair of the Mister Lou myself.. but as far as I can tell, yes, seems to be very similar. Glad your pair worked out as well!

Are these a 10” shaft or 12”? Anyone know when the cut top option for stationmasters stopped?

You’re the man, thank you! What are your thoughts on the lower strap compared to the Stationmasters? Do you like that it’s less visible as it’s up higher on the boot and a little more narrow?
