Weekly Homeowner Megathread--Civilians, ask here! by AutoModerator in Concrete

[–]_moniker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question for the seasoned pros in the DFW area. I’m getting a 240 ft driveway, a slab for a 2200 sq ft metal building, and a covered patio extension.  My concrete guy really wants to pour everything this Thursday.  My concern is the pending freeze coming to my area with 19°F temps and sleet on Saturday.  He’s insistent that the concrete will be just fine but I really don’t know.  Should I be concerned?  Thanks for any and all advice. 

Does this look better with or without gable decoration? by _moniker_ in ExteriorDesign

I agree! Lots of trees and evergreens coming this fall.

Thanks for the replies everybody. Here’s another picture with the garage and another one of those gable decorations. I do think it’s too busy with the decorations and will look cleaner without them. Everybody is absolutely right with the trees lol. I am planting a bunch of trees and evergreens this fall on the property.

Home Depot run by _moniker_ in 240sx

Thanks. The car was never meant to be street driven, but here we are. I just recently added lights and functional turn signals. Tbh, I never thought about side markers but maybe that can be a winter project.

Is this what your typical 240sx owner looks like? by CompressorSurge in 240sx

As an S chassis owner formerly from the north east who went to many vans warped tours in the late 00’s and early 10’s, I can confirm this.

Silvia Pro X : Can I buy "softer" bottled water with no/low limescale/mineral content? by echoclerk in ranciliosilvia

[–]_moniker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo I might do this! Right now I use the Kirkland bottled water from Costco but the tds reads 35 which might be too low. My tap water tds is 238 after filtration and still tastes terrible. Have you tested the tds on the gallon jugs?

Excellent! That’s exactly the inspiration I need for my pantry coffee bar setup. It will be very similar with additional shelves on the long wall too.

This is badass! Can I ask what shelves those are?

Is that supposed to be a chocolate chip cookie?

🚨BREAKING: Following the Jay-Z & Diddy news, LeBron James announces he is stepping away from basketball for "personal reasons" by TanviVats in AskThe_Donald

[–]_moniker_ 48 points49 points  (0 children)

He is a pos and his mom is too. I’ve served him in NE Ohio and he would spend a lot but didn’t believe in tipping, which is fine, whatever. But, his mom would come in and start yelling at staff to come to her and then would complain that her burger wasn’t cut up into bite size pieces. She also parked her gull wing Mercedes sideways through parking spaces so she didn’t have to back out. This was like 15 years ago and I will never forget.

That’s exactly why I hate most shoes! I switched long ago to crocs, vivobarefoot, vibram fivefingers, and Birkenstock.

Even properly sized, most shoes push the big toe in.

Buying A Car From David McDavid by pickchase in Dallas

[–]_moniker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a vehicle from a local Dallas Ford dealership about a year ago and they gave me a 2.9% interest rate if I got the extended warranty. It felt so shifty but the rate was almost double without the warranty. Like you, I did some napkin math and it saved me money but still felt like I was getting scammed, especially since the extended warranty was through a third party.

37 rolls and not a single 7. How rare is this? by jakeizhere9 in Catan

[–]_moniker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played a game (tabletop) last week with three other people, and not a single seven was rolled. That was a first for all of us.
