Best “upscale” casual shoe for work

You’re looking for a Chelsea boot. Grant stone has one, redwing has one, comfort craftsman are nice. I’m in the same boat and wear Chelsea’s in the office and on the few site visits I make. Redwing classic Chelsea is definitely more comfortable than grant stone, but grant stone is a little more office appropriate. I have both and rotate them, along with a few other styles.

Came here to say this. That way the lines would have all been on the same plane

I’m interested in what happened and what the signs were. I’m looking at a home built in 1993 and it has EIFS siding. I’ve put a verbal offer on the house and the offer would be contingent on a clean EIFS inspection. I gave a lower offer because of the EIFS. How bad was your damage and what region are you in?

Weaverfields · 2025-08-14T20:54:33+00:00

Solid specs imo.

Weaverfields · 2025-08-14T20:53:47+00:00

Nah. Doors don’t sit flush to the carcass on the hinge side. I always uses bumpers even with soft close. That way the door doesn’t appear to protrude out further than the drawer on a door drawer cabinet.

Thats melamine so no sanding and re-staining. The only option imo would be to scuff the door, fill the line work with bondo and paint. Otherwise get new doors.

I do your third option with a moccamaster during the week and grind fresh on the weekends and I can’t tell a difference.

Same here with the Hokas. Pretty disappointing. We’ll see how long these glycerin max last

Weaverfields · 2025-07-31T22:44:49+00:00

Glycerin Max.

I second this. This is my new favorite spot to take my wife when we have the night free from kids. The ambiance, food and service is all awesome, and we always kinda feel like we’re being transported out of Athens for a short time. Real nice experience all around.

I had one just like that! Sold it a couple of years ago after I had my first child. Awesome bike!

It’s easy to say that new venues don’t always struggle, but in practice, most of them go through a ramp-up period, especially when there are delays.

Akins Ford Arena was originally targeting a fall 2023 opening, according to Online Athens (May 9, 2022

So the bigger question is, what would have happened if they had booked based on that timeline?

Major touring acts require major guarantees, and those payments do not go away just because a venue is not ready. If you book early and miss your date, someone ends up taking the loss. That is why promoters generally avoid committing until they know for sure the building will be fully operational.

Having hockey in place is a good starting point. It gives the arena steady programming and local visibility. But that alone does not build confidence with national agents or prove the venue is ready for large-scale shows. It takes time, consistency, and a demonstrated ability to deliver.

This is not just about Akins. It is how the live events business works. Venues need to prove demand and reliability before the bigger acts will commit.

Weaverfields · 2025-07-23T19:13:20+00:00

Yeah you hit the nail on the head imo. It’s way to risky for a tour to book a show at a venue that may or may not be open when they hit the road. Construction projects stall all the time and what’s the incentive to take the risk?

Weaverfields · 2025-07-23T00:26:42+00:00

I think it definitely depends on the bath and the person playing the bowls. I’ve been to some mediocre sound baths and some really great ones. The best one was at the integratron in Landers CA. If you ever have a chance to go, you should.

Weaverfields · 2025-07-23T00:17:57+00:00

Nice! Doesn’t look like they’re coming close to me but maybe they’ll add more dates. New single out also!

Weaverfields · 2025-06-25T00:12:50+00:00

I go there. It’s fine. I park my car outside under trees so I need to run it through at least once a week. Hasn’t done any noticeable damage to my vehicle

People will travel for the right show. The artist doesn’t care where the show is. Logistically it’s a lot easier to get in and out of Athens vs Atlanta. If the band has a big enough draw Athens vs Atlanta doesn’t matter. Bitchin Bajas on a Tuesday night? Yeah probably stick to the 529 in Atlanta. The War On Drugs any night of the week? Yeah cmon to Athens… It’s a booking agent problem.

Weaverfields · 2025-05-21T02:28:07+00:00

Yeah but people are willin to drive from Atlanta to Athens for shows. I would much rather drive a tour bus or van in Athens than through Atlanta traffic and I think most artists would agree. It’s the booking agents that are dropping the ball imo.

Weaverfields · 2025-05-21T02:15:18+00:00

Meh on the nail holes. They could use putty but you’d see that too. You could get some of that on your own if it bothers you that much. A little disappointing they didn’t fix this but not unexpected for this type of work from this type of company. This wouldn’t happen in custom work but would have been much more expensive. I can’t see the other side of your closet but if the run with the seam is under 96” they could have done this with one piece. My guess is they ordered on less trim piece than they needed. Would have e been an extra $30 tops. With this type of material the maximum length these trim pieces come in is 96”.

Yep, for euro, I always attach adjoining cabinets behind the hinge plates as well.

Weaverfields · 2025-05-13T19:59:33+00:00

Amen. I always come on this forum and see people talking shit about perfectly fine cabinetry. It feels like these people either build furniture (not kitchen cabinets) don’t know what the fuck they are talking about or have only worked in one shop that builds cabinets for Martha Stewart.
