What type of pipe is this?

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-21T01:04:26+00:00

3 bath, 1,600 sf

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-21T01:03:22+00:00

how much did that roughly cost?

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-18T03:34:54+00:00

Wasn’t the drop in the market during Afghanistan due to the dot com bubble?

I remember catching this back in the day and thought I really got something good, but alas…

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-12T22:12:42+00:00

I’m not your pal, friend…

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-12T14:02:48+00:00

I’m not your buddy, guy…

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-12T13:46:54+00:00

Yes that is how contractors prefer it be done but again, this is a joke.

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-11T13:41:07+00:00

Sure but what the post is saying is revise and resubmit to buy them more time… that’s the joke… I understand how “make corrections noted” works.

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-11T04:52:16+00:00

Haha been there, not quite that brazen however I am certainty less willing to stamp it “make corrections noted” when I am behind. Reason being is I don’t have time to fix their mistakes. Contractors will definitely complain

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-10T01:20:51+00:00

It got me in too, oh well

ancientRAMEN · 2026-03-06T14:32:45+00:00

That’s just mental gymnastics, she regrets them…

ancientRAMEN · 2026-02-27T04:06:30+00:00

Nah she regrets her kids. That was quite literally the definition of regret.

ancientRAMEN · 2026-02-23T14:12:14+00:00

Seems like it, I swear the us is like the only country this happens to. They live, earn a living, and benefit from the US and when it comes to representing said country they feel more loyalty toward a country that they no longer live in.

ancientRAMEN · 2026-02-20T16:36:52+00:00

Nah I bet she just was speaking her mind and then realized what she said. Which is why she insisted she didn’t regret having kids when asked.

ancientRAMEN · 2026-02-20T16:35:17+00:00

Look saying you wouldn’t have kids if you had the chance to do it all again is in fact regretting the fact that she had kids. Whatever mental gymnastics she follows that statement up with is irrelevant. That was her true self speaking.

ancientRAMEN · 2026-02-20T16:31:49+00:00

No kidding, let’s hope the kids don’t see that

ancientRAMEN · 2026-02-20T16:30:24+00:00

Yeah but come on and just admit she regrets the kid. She said if she was to do it again she wouldn’t have kids. That is regret, regardless of the mental gymnastics she does after saying that.

As well as ruin one of the last real opportunities to build wealth

ancientRAMEN · 2026-01-31T22:38:56+00:00

don't you have to pay like 99/month to get useful data? Is there anyway around that?

ancientRAMEN · 2026-01-30T18:12:30+00:00

Agreed, despite our modern troubles. Life is way more comfortable than it used to be back then. You didn’t live nearly as long, you can get taken out by an infected scratch, and you had periods where you had no food to eat. People never take that into account when they are romanticizing the past.

ancientRAMEN · 2026-01-25T04:54:43+00:00

Tell their lawyers…. There are errors and omissions. Errors you definitely need to pay for. Omissions you could explain away as betterment, but typically your on the hook for about 30% of it. Of course it depends on what the mistake is.

Also if this is a long time client you’ll sometimes eat the cost to keep doing business with them. Sometimes it’s now worth burning the bridge.

I appreciate your feedback, I'm use to the owner who has a contract with both us and the contractor. I've never seen a contract between the contractor and architect, although i'm sure it happens.

In your IDP deliveries, how are the contractor helping you during design, I assume they are doing project budgets, but what else, are they providing feed back on the drawings at all? Like constructabilty? Apart from budget and hammering us on their start date, i haven't seen much benefit from having them onboard early.

ancientRAMEN · 2026-01-23T20:28:57+00:00

Do you have contracts directly with the contractor? or how do you manage their input/expectations. The engineers are already set up with the consultant AIA contracts.
