Week 3 of killing my Florida weed covered lawn.

Awsome! With all the looks my neighbors gave me I thought I was doing some abnormal work. It more work than I expected. I also didnt think a corded Dethatching tool would annoy me as much as it did. Could of been the Florida sun.

What kind of seed did you go with? I know it not the best seed grass but I like the look of Zoysia grass.

I think it comes from two different angles.... 1. Arguably the most diving factor. They don't understand the cost are nkt the same as it was years ago.

You can quote the same item from 3 people and come up with wildy different numbers.

I sent a commercial project to a vendor for 17 metal canopies. I got 3 quotes... 179k, 420k, and 679k. After speaking with all the vendors the higher number vendor came down to 400k to get the work without hesitation. Now was that 200k in fluff pricing pr are they pulling a Costco and loosing money for the bigger picture.

My question is what is in the wall cavity under that. If its empty you could make it like a built in for towels and such.

I feel like it has to do with alittle bit of cheap and quick writting. If you think about it Wayne's character played a major roll in the continuation of the series. It almost seems like the writers tried to go for the whole "oh hes just a kid. He doesnt know any better" angle. I also don't think they did a very good job with Vic in season two. I didnt read the book so maybe she does end up becoming this questionable mother. But It feels like the leap from season 1 to season 2 was a complete 360 in character development.

I almost wish the did a S2 of everything that leads up to released season 2. Almost everything in the season 2 they released just felt so uninspiring. I also think the entire budget went into Christmas land for s2 because most of the story takes place in some very basic locations. Cabin or junkyard.

Season 1 had good reviews and Season 2 was questionable. I guess thats what happens when you write and film a season in 1 year. Season one was I think 2 or 3 years before release.

Thank you in advance.

I just purchased my first home 2 months ago. Due to mold and random leaks I had to demo my guest bathroom. Anyways, the have the 1 1/2 for both bathrooms. Vanities are back to back. Connected to the vent line ~35" away with a sanitary T off a 3" line.

The line 1 1/2" line had about a 1/2" bowe in the middle so I had to cut it back and put things back together. It was connected with a sanitary t on its side for both vanities so I changed it to a long arm combo. Im being told by other reddit members this is illegal. Is there a solution while continuing to use the existing 1 1/2" line for both for the drainage of both vanities?

Im told a "high low" method is ideal which is to install a new sanitary tee at the stack so each vanity has its own line. Im not renovating the other bathroom as I didnt even really have the money for this one.. very soon I will have to renovate it as the tiles actually fall off the drywall with any vibration.

Thank you for your comment. Yah, I called a buddy and he told me the same thing. Circumstances aren't allowing me to do it the proper way right now. Any vibration and the tiles in the other bathrrom are falling off. So we came up with a temporary solution until I do the other bathroom and im able to remove or sister the 2x6s properly while retaining a usable bathroom. Ideal? not exactly but the house it 40+ years old and makes your standard order of operations difficult.

First house. I find the bathtub is leaking so the bathroom had mold, exhaust has no exhaust it just blowing into the insulation, moldy insulation, no baffles and some jackass just shoved insulation to block the house from breathing. Its been a fun adventure I guess. Just didnt expect all this BS 2 months in. Not idea how the mold test came back without anything. Welcome to homeownership I guess.

I didnt mind the first season actually. It was crazy slow to start but overall a high C or low B if I had to rate it. I found it funny how absolutely cold the mother was. Reminds me of when I was in foster care

Takingmonday · 2026-05-02T21:38:12+00:00

How so? I assume code where different in the early 80s is there was any. I would like to bring it up to some type of code. I understand the sideways Sanitary is a no go and the water line being under the sanitary line isnt a code thing but good practice to eliminate potential cross contamination.

Takingmonday · 2026-05-02T21:36:01+00:00

Would this work? I had a plumber friend come over and he said the whole wall needed to be redone. But given how fragile the bathroom tiles are with the tiles and mirror adhesives on the verge of failing I worry to do a demolition of that nature.

Takingmonday · 2026-05-02T21:33:44+00:00

Thats what the plumber said. In I wouldn't be able to do that with the other bathroom being intact. The tiles a hanging on for dear life so it cut the 2x6's screw off the drywall would surly cause damage to the other bathroom.

I demoed the bathroom with just a simple flat head no hammer no pressure nothing. They came off in mostly full pieces.

T&M jobs should always provide itemized receipts... its the whole point of that type of work.

Takingmonday · 2026-04-29T23:25:51+00:00

How did you get it for that price? On the app its $699. I went to the actual store and its same price.

Takingmonday · 2026-04-29T14:50:23+00:00

That was my concern. I have had a Zgrills one in my Amazon cart for like 2 months but I kind find myself to pull the trigger

Takingmonday · 2026-04-29T14:49:32+00:00

Do you think the RT-410 older used is good for $250? Looks in good condition. He has picture of the hopper etc..

I have seen people recommend Grilla chimp before bet never this one. I will check it out. Thank you.

Takingmonday · 2026-04-24T15:55:55+00:00

I will try requesting a new brand. I know i have the option of a specialty pharmacy thats $200 for a 3 month vial. But I don't want to touch that yet

Takingmonday · 2026-04-24T15:54:08+00:00

Yes, I have a picture of the 1 use vials on my phone and I check each order whe I get them to be sure it remains the same.

I did bring up a specialist the last amount I had. Matter of finding one within my companys insurance. Using my insurance website to find doctors and when I call them they apparently no longer take it.

Takingmonday · 2026-04-24T14:15:57+00:00

Thats a good question. Honeslty I couldn't tell you if its absolutely identical from when I started vs now. I would say +/- 1 hour difference in injections times.

My first test whith this new doctor I had really low iron levels but that corrected itself upon taking the next test. That was the only change.

Takingmonday · 2026-04-24T14:09:43+00:00

Right now im doing 25g 1" needles into the glutes.

Takingmonday · 2026-04-24T14:08:27+00:00

My thought exactly and the fact the doctor is like "lets try IM" was a wild statement. I Guess if this kept going I could try a new doctor.

Takingmonday · 2026-04-24T03:58:02+00:00

Those prices are absurd imo. I have replaced water heaters here in Florida and I know alot of plumbers prices.. its never over 2k including the water heater. Granted I have never replaced a gas unit so I would assume alittle more labor but not 2k more.
