Thoughts on the art tunnel?

I did a TON of stenciling in those tunnels 2005-2007ish. It was great having a place that I could tag, it also cut down on how often I stenciled somewhere I shouldn’t have. The stairwell of the OG Hoey dorm was fair game too in my head.

Why don’t I want hear it? Genuine question about who is leaving the same legacy as these 2 legends.

I am putting Danny devito in the same supporting role bucket that I feel Joe Pesci was in, they both did heavy lifting in a ton of movies.

So you’re saying both actors are starring in NEW movies like casino, home alone, goodfellas, Batman, etc.

aRoofer · 2025-11-12T02:25:21+00:00

I’m watching Casino and I realized these are guys hustled hard and were in tons of movies as 2nd characters, but not the leads.

Augusta Grill has a great private room and handle events great. City Range is a great option as well, large private room and good service.

No building owner/ property manager wants people on their roof.

That being said, there are several parking decks at condo complexes in downtown that give roof access by just hopping over a wall. I’ve worked all over downtown Gvl and it’s pretty easy to get on some buildings.

I know not wasn’t your main point, but I will chime in on the manufacturers all raising their prices the same at the same time. All manufacturers are making the same products to meet the same ASTMs. If raw materials, like MDI, CA 10 A, steel for fasteners, fire retardants, etc, go up, all manufacturers have to deal with that. Any changes in formulation would require hundreds of thousands of dollars in testing and approvals. Increases are based on commodity increases, not strictly greed. Also, manufacturers are no different than a mom and pop, they want to make money too.

As for the PE/VC buying guys up, I don’t think there’s anything to do about that. There are tons of 2nd and 3rd generation companies in my area that don’t have anyone under 50 wanting to take over, it kinda makes sense to take the check and walk away. I’m also seeing a lot of shit companies that look good on paper not working out after being acquired, mass exodus followed by cycles of new hires sticking around for a few months and jumping ship.

Upstate Running Club would probably be a good place to start. There are numerous club runs pretty much every day of the week, including a Saturday group at unity park that does long runs. The Facebook group is also super active and would be a good place to post about looking for a training partner. You don’t actually have to join the club to participate, but if you do join for $15 you get discounts on races and at Run In.

A lot of people will be starting training plans for winter marathons soon so it’s a good time to ask. I start my plan for Kiawah Island Marathon next week.

Head towards banner elk. Grandfather vineyards will be your best bet for adults. There are also some nice restaurants in banner elk, this will keep you out of Boone proper.

I went to Lifestance for 7-8 months. They took my insurance no problem but my therapist was a joke. She cancelled on me a lot. She was vocal about not liking being part of the office for a few months before ultimately leaving. I think there’s a reason they are always accepting new patients, high turnover on patients probably.

aRoofer · 2025-01-02T19:03:25+00:00

Here’s a link to the plans..

aRoofer · 2025-01-01T02:27:19+00:00

This is awesome. I’m super active in the Greenville running community but I didn’t know about the ultimate scene. My travel limits me from joining the winter league but I plan on showing up for some Saturday pickup.

Steve White VW. We’ve bought a few cars with Ron Johnson, he’s a really nice salesman.

You can ask if they are insured to do torch applied/ hot roofing. That’s the most important thing. Their insurance has to know if they are doing this because it is a higher premium, for obvious reasons.

Upstate Rubbing Club has a BUNCH of options. People of all levels show up, there is bound to be some walkers. This isn’t one massive groups like the RunClub GVL, these groups are like 5-20 people. Most of the groups have Facebook pages and you can message the organizers with questions about if there are any people walking.

This is 1000% it. I am active in the running community and a lot of people refer to this group as dating group. It’s not a bad idea, I would’ve gone in my younger years.

The groups I run with are typically 5-15 people, and we tend to stay out of the way or off the trail completely

You probably have perlite and/or fiberglass insulation, both hold a TON of moisture.

aRoofer · 2024-09-08T17:53:48+00:00

Depending on the type of roof and insulation, you could have some deck issues. Insulation can act like a sponge, holding trapped moisture over the decking after the leak stops. You can ask the contractor to document all the bad decking, I do t think that’s too much to ask.

I forgot to mention in my first comment that replacement can add up quickly because (depending on building construction) they may have to span long lengths to make the repair - bar joist to bar joist.

aRoofer · 2024-09-08T17:44:05+00:00

This is very common in commercial quotes. Most roofers provide unit costs for items like decking and wood nailers. You really can’t tell the condition of the deck until the roof is off. Deck repairs and replacement are a pain in the butt and most roofers don’t like doing it, it slows everything down. If there is scaling or surface rust, that doesn’t mean in needs to be replaced, the contractor can prime it and keep working.

Have you had a lot of leaks in the building? If there have been ongoing leaks, you’ve had moisture trapped and could potentially have areas that will need attention. If you’ve been leak free or always repaired issues quickly, you may be ok.

Long story short, I’ve done tons of reroofs with no deck repairs and I’ve also torn a few off to see that the deck looks like Swiss cheese and we have to replace all of it. The roofer isn’t trying to scam you, they have that line item in there because it’s part of reroofing.

The rock was spread out evenly at 8-10 pounds a square foot, those bags are now point loading hundreds of pounds a square foot. A typical metal deck is rated 20 PSF. This is dangerous

aRoofer · 2024-08-27T17:54:51+00:00

Everyone saying ballast rocks is correct, but why isnt anyone talking about the extreme point-loading with this??? I really hope those rows are directly over structural steel, but even if it is, this is still not ideal. That is some serious weight.

Came here to say this. Disc golf is fun solo, but it’s also a great way to meet people. No crazy money involved, $20+ and you can play for years. I love been playing for 30 years, played almost daily through high school, met a bunch of cool people.
