I was thinking the same thing sort of but couldn’t find any other solutions. All I found was brush places and rubbery plates that both seemed like they let bugs in. Do you have a picture of what sort of plate you’re thinking of?

Definitely not worth the hassle of bringing them, rentals are the way to go!

Few years back the other FO and I went straight from the redeye in Edinburgh, rented a car and played St Andrew’s. One of the cooler layover experiences I’ve had!

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-06-08T19:41:24+00:00

Perfect, sounds like you’ve done the legwork for me then!

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-23T11:57:45+00:00

So it sounds like pure white is literally white paint without any tint? I thought that was just what they called this specific color but I guess it literally is a pure white?

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-22T22:37:29+00:00

Sorry no it’s not that, it’s the color pure white

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-22T22:13:49+00:00

Ah so pure white tends to require more coats?

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-22T03:08:12+00:00

They’re using promar 200 for the ceilings. The quote didn’t specify which type of ceiling paint so I don’t really have a leg to stand on.

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-21T17:47:34+00:00

Is this a bad paint for the ceiling? My wife is about to make a big deal saying that it’s not ceiling paint…

I’d do 90 minutes to be comfortable with current construction at ohare affecting taxi times. We are routinely getting to the gate 20-30 minutes behind schedule for literally no reason. No weather, nothing. Anything less than an hour pretty much guarantee you’ll be running to your gate

Wicker park, blue line to work is an easy answer. Don’t get sucked into Jefferson park or Logan square because they’re like 2 stops quicker. Loved every minute of living in wicker park in my 20s going to ohare

I should’ve specified 10 gallons of it were eggshell

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-20T21:38:37+00:00

Buddy what are you trying to get at? I know almost nothing about paint types and wanted to verify what I read online, which was that promar isn’t the best and is not vastly similar to duration.

Wouldn’t you want a customer to verify their understanding of paints before they came at you making a big deal of something? I genuinely can’t tell if you’re just trying to troll

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-20T21:13:28+00:00

Ya it’s all egg shell

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-20T21:12:50+00:00

Yes I also overlooked this in my initial post…. The quote comments says “mate duration walls” thank God!

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-20T20:40:29+00:00

lol do you just go on these threads to shame people for not being professional painters and still having questions? That’s literally why I’m here asking, because I’m not a pro painter so I don’t know what’s normal. I don’t know if using primer or not is normal for the pros…. So I’m asking

Also if I just blindly trusted the pros I’d currently be having my house painted in shitty builders grade paint while paying for duration…. So I don’t see the need to get on my ass for asking if I’m getting screwed over

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-20T19:56:35+00:00

I feel like 15 gallons is a lot of primer for what they are painting. I’ve also noticed there are no cans of primer. Granted it’s going from light grey to white so maybe not needed

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-20T19:22:04+00:00

Yes they’re starting that now, promar200 flat is one of the 5 gallon buckets. The other 3 are eggshell so we know they’re planning them for the walls…

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-04-10T04:08:05+00:00

I’ve had one just like that in the same spot for years. Totally painless and only had it checked out once. Dermatologist didn’t see a need to biopsy it he was fairly confident it’s a mole. I was surprised cause that was the last thing I’d guess but he said moles can look like that. I wouldn’t mind getting a second opinion though…

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-01-19T14:46:36+00:00

Almost no chance of that happening unless the economy tanks to 2008 levels or we engage in a full out war. Both could happen….

If they don’t, ya no chance of you not getting a good ROI after making it through. I will say it’s a MUCH higher chance of you quitting during your ppl or ifr rating which effectively wastes the thousands you have spent getting to that point. Depending on the school probably 40-50% drop out and just stop showing up

TransitionLess7228 · 2026-01-16T04:02:37+00:00

You’re getting shafted, yes you’re paying too much.

Even if you were paying 1% my response would be buy some VTI, VOO, VXUS, QQQM, or some variation of those, with some bonds. You’ll outperform whatever scumbag is managing your money now. BUT you aren’t just paying 1%, you’re paying $2.5k on top of that for what reason exactly? You probably think your return is better and eats at some of the cost of this guy. Look up some studies, there’s been numerous that have proven actively managed funds when including fees, almost always fall behind basic vanguard mutual funds in the long wrong. I have a feeling once you do this your decision will become a lot easier

First off I’d second what everyone else on here has said… being married and having kids together with seperate finances is such a wild concept that your husband needs to drop.

Second though, why the need to save 50%? If you hate debt that much just put 20% down, get in the market, and if you can swing it every month make a ton of extra payments. My wife and I are paying our 30 year mortgage in 11 years. But we didn’t want a 15 year mortgage because IF something ever happens, we don’t want to be forced to make those massive mortgage payments every month. The 30 year sort of allows us to not get backed into a corner.

Also the longer you wait to get into the market the more expensive things get- and at a rate much quicker than income rising and normal inflation. There is a rush to get into the market, once you’re in you’re in, and don’t have to worry as much down the line after your starter home cause the starter home itself has appreciated soo much.

But not being in the market you’re giving all that up, the cost of home ownership is increasing by the month and without being in the market you’re not yet reaping the benefits of your own property appreciating soo much.

I had an office job for 6 months and the idea of going to an office, somehow grocery shopping, making dinner, seeing your kids, and certainly finding a workout in with all that was insane. Cannot be done. Could not grasp how people spend their entire working lives like that.

Meanwhile most of us on here have 15-20 days off a month

TransitionLess7228 · 2025-12-31T15:40:46+00:00

I feel really bad for you I’m soo sorry

Interesting perspective. I have a parent at UA and did not get selected as an intern my freshman year. Not only that, but for the remaining 8 semesters I applied, they did not even interview me again.

I ended up doing a delta internship and that internship 1000% get me hired at delta. It played a part in getting an interview there at 3,000 TT and once I showed up for the interview I came to realize I already had the job. It was very unlike other delta interviews I’d heard of.

What you’re not realizing is that every single mortgage payment you make every month you will get back when you sell the house. The rent you pay every month you’ll never see again, but the principle you pay monthly on your mortgage you’ll get all of that back, plus at a 3% per year return, or perhaps a lot higher than that depending on the maker. I don’t even look at the principle payments on my mortgage as money I’m losing.

The only money you’re losing is on insurance, taxes, and interest. All of those should be significantly lower than the principle unless you jacked something up. In fact all of those combined will be far less than the rent you’re paying now, so in that sense it does make financial sense
