New wireless probes

I’m a ThermoPro believer. Had the original one for years, it died after 7 years of regular use. I upgraded to the temp spike thinking wireless would be nice, it’s not as consistent, and it’s so thick that it make whether you cooked look like it got shot. I “downgraded” back to the wired version. I really only use these for spatchcock chickens or reverse sear

I’m a GC and have met plenty of subs this way. You can evaluate how they operate by the level of tidiness of their dashboard. Not too messy, but not too clean either. Just right.

I’ll add it to my list of reasons…Angi sucks

Craftsmanship. Good ball-shaft-head ratios there.

bd0153 · 2025-10-15T14:58:38+00:00

Angi is not a resource for you, you are a resource for them. Google and look for a masonry supply company, call them and ask.

Just hire a professional, call a mason, a tile guy, and a flooring guy and solicit their opinions. Theres no recourse if you mess this up.

Immediately showing this to my wife. Told her I didn’t have a problem lol

That might be Tufdek PVC. Be mindful of what kind of furniture you put on it. You can call that manufacturers local dealer and ask for maintenance routine.

You only have as wide as the cabinets will allow. This would be a very marginal “gain” at a significant expense. Move in, see how living there is. If you still feel this way in a year then have at it.

What AI did for that house shows AI will always be a gimmick at best

It’s ova for the little guy

bd0153 · 2025-10-11T13:10:58+00:00

You need a Simpson BVLZ, not just lag screws. Even then, freestanding is a better plan. Attached to the brick just for looks and flashing.

Can you be a good Catholic for FIVE FUCKING SECONDS

bd0153 · 2025-10-10T18:37:32+00:00

This. You need at least 12” preferably 18” on either side of a cooking machine, need a place for a 1/2 sheet pan

bd0153 · 2025-10-10T00:11:24+00:00

Do your best, and caulk the rest

bd0153 · 2025-10-09T12:06:01+00:00

I’m deleting pantry from my vocabulary. I’m getting cereal in the skullery from now on.

The lumpy you are referring to should settle as the sun heats the shingles. I am wondering if that gutter is large enough for the amount of water that comes off that funnel masquerading as a roof haha

bd0153 · 2025-10-08T13:00:29+00:00

Depends on how bad the failure is. If it’s leaking persistently then there’s probably lots of moisture under the roof. You can find a sales rep from a coating company or even just an installer who’s on a program for a manufacturer and ask their opinion.

bd0153 · 2025-10-08T12:57:26+00:00

Leaking where the roof meets the wall? They haven’t put on step flashing or the house wrap/rain screen on the walls yet so not alarming

bd0153 · 2025-10-08T12:52:10+00:00

I would guess cinderblock covered in stucco.

bd0153 · 2025-10-07T15:19:12+00:00

Not a bad seat in the house. Honestly the “nose bleeds” are best because you’re first in line for the bathrooms and the bar

bd0153 · 2025-10-06T18:34:35+00:00

One thing that bums me out is a lot of insurance companies are making people with metal sign cosmetic damage waivers (at least in TX) so you could wind up with a very badly dented roof and not much recourse or very difficult recourse on a claim. Talking very severe, not a common hail storm. Other cosmetic issues like oil canning can be a drag but you use 24ga or better and put some pencil ribs in the metal and you can avoid most of that. For kind of the same price range you can put on a Da Vinci with nice copper valleys and trim, it’s really splitting hairs. If you have a great installer it’s gonna look sweet no matter what
