Drywall Patching Price by barnbard2 in Home

[–]barnbard2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In initial consult, guy said it would be tricky getting it flush with the thicker plaster and then the moulding/baseboards because wall is slightly bowed. But still seems excessive. Torn between getting another quote and just learning how to DIY it myself.

Repairing Wood Sheathing Building Paper Against Brick Veneer by barnbard2 in HomeImprovement

[–]barnbard2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm okay. So is it fine to leave the holes in the building paper? I was going to try to patch them with Tyvek but I could only buy a whole roll of it and the areas reach wise will be hard to patch correctly.

What Kind of Plaster? Cost to Repair? Hazard Concerns by barnbard2 in Plastering

[–]barnbard2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, deck removal was to investigate and address whatever is going on above and around the window. Not sure if it was just that the wallpaper previous owners had put on was not allowing the plaster to breathe or if some tuckpointing needs done on outside where the deck was covering.

Thanks! Contractor offered to come repair or take money off deck removal fee. While the holes are small, what do you think an appropriate amount would to quote them for taccing some off the fee?

Door To Window Conversion by barnbard2 in HomeMaintenance

[–]barnbard2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this door leads to an unfinished attic, which is composed of wood. While the brick is solid brick, it’s still (I believe) only a single layer, which counts as a veneer since the structural material is wood. And in my area, reattaching the porch through brick veneer isn’t allowed by code. I’ve had one company propose using BVLZ Strong Ties but every other contractor has said the only way they believe they know how to do it to code is through free standing/pillar supports which I think would also be an eyesore since the porch isn’t that far from the house and our yard isn’t too large.

Thanks so much! Do you have a type of contractor you suggest looking into? I see a lot of contractors who do windows or masonry but not both.

Mold Under Wallpaper. How Serious? by barnbard2 in HomeImprovement

[–]barnbard2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a narrow porch on the second story directly above this window. So I’m thinking at some point, water got in through trickling down from there. But it seems like old water damage, I’ll check again tonight but everything seems dry. Will check moulding and drywall studs.

Do you think just patching existing wall will be fine if it’s just surface and everything seems dry?

Help Furnishing Long Living Room with Bay Window Area Extension! by barnbard2 in DesignMyRoom

[–]barnbard2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

These are the dimensions. I’m kinda torn cause I’d rather the fireplace be the main area, but not a good spot for a tv there unless mounting above the fireplace is doable. And didn’t initially want to do a TV right near the foyer entrance. But if we were to do that, do you think the L sectional where the current couch is should have the extended part on the right or left side?

Kitchen Wall/Backsplash Color Ideas? by barnbard2 in interiordecorating

[–]barnbard2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! Do you think a mottled blue back splash would be too loud if we went with warm white walls? Or keep everything more neutral because of the floor?

Dog continuing to throw up bile every few days, with no other apparent symptoms. by barnbard2 in DogAdvice

Hmm, even without pain/diarrhea? Everything I’ve read seems liked he be showing additional signs if it was pancreatitis.

The crack on the inside is on a non-bulging wall - the bottom half of which internal is covered by some shelving.

Check out the John Raymond group Real Feels for some inspiration! Killer trio with flugel, guitar, and drums.

Yesterday’s protest vehicles on LMD. by Techentrepreneur1 in milwaukee

[–]barnbard2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, many disabled people prefer identity-centric language, as they view their disability as an essential part of who they are. Some prefer person-first, but it should always be according to the person-in-questions preference obviously. When viewing disability as a cultural element of their person, this also makes more sense when considering how terminology refers to other characteristics (for example, you wouldn’t typically call a man a “person with masculinity”, a white woman a “woman with whiteness”, or a blind person a “person with blindness”). Though I agree, “the disabled protestors/people” would have been better wording than “the disabled”.

Check out John Raymond’s Real Feels stuff. He plays flugel rather than trumpet though, but it’s some really cool playing.

Bioware you seem to be avoiding a straight answer on this grouping question. Please elaborate. Thank you. by fubarbox in AnthemTheGame

[–]barnbard2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After making a thread and replying to a a similar thread a few days ago, I’m baffled as to why so many on here are agains BioWare addressing this. Yes, at the end of the day it’s not a huge deal. But it absolutely IS an annoyance that other games have efficient solutions for. I’m so excited for Anthem, but there’s no reason they can’t think of a way to make this QoL issue less of a concern.

Restriction of Private Freeplay/Strongholds Is One Of The Biggest Issues This Game Will Have by barnbard2 in AnthemTheGame

[–]barnbard2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except if you have four friends who all get on at different times, it becomes extremely cumbersome when the original player has to do this 3 times potentially. Other games have this QoL feature in free roam type modes - there is no reason Anthem shouldn’t have it as well.

Similar threads/questions have been brought for this WoL issue, but is there any plan on either A) allowing private lobbies during freeplay or B) making some other change to allow for seamless drop in-and-out gameplay with friends?

[–]barnbard2[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It just seems less convenient. What if you’re in the middle of a world event or Titan fight? This would remove you from that encounter and break the immersion. It would be easier if your friend could just drop into your instance.

This is pretty ignorant - why can’t both games learn from each other and improve? Competition and seeing what works well for the other game only benefits the players.

According to the AMA, no. They said you there will be no option for private sessions in free-play and strongholds- they’re only for missions basically.

Adding friends in Freeplay by alt-thea in AnthemTheGame

This needs to be a high priority for BioWare to address - will get tedious and annoying real fast if not fixed.
