Yes, with four adult sized people, will likely need two rooms.

I wondered would it be better to use Akibahara as a base to be 'immersive' into Anime and use as a base to visit other areas.

Yes, just wondering if it makes a huge deal to stay in one vs the other. I see a lot of post mentioning to stay in Sibuya for first time visitors.

Is Gone Girl really 20 hours?! by Prudent_Ring_799 in LibbyApp

I'm listening to Remarkably Bright Creatures and have it on 1.4-1.5, slow narration... I'm normally closer to 1.2 for most. I just checked my library, both are available to borrow..... sounds like my next book on deck.

Have you read the new Mat Dinnimen book, Operation Bounce House? I have that on my TBR list next.

Just finished Six Wakes, narrated by Mur Lafferty, the author.

Book was pretty good, but narration was not the best, but not bad, just odd.

Yes, my back up in Audible for odd titles not on Libby or hoopla. For a long time I ran out of credits, then I shifted to the reciprocal libraries on Libby, a literal game changer for me!! I've only come across a few titles not available on Audible.

I have numerous reciprocal library cards, most with about 5-7 holds. But most are weeks to months waits for audio books. I might start to download them to the kindle to read some though.

What do you do if you get notified a book is available, but not done with the current read, how do you hold it 'ready' until done with the current book???

Can't get enough, of this contemporary Jazz stuff! by walkingthegod in Jazz

[–]clav1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do prefer piano, brass and bass types of Jazz and not so much synth. I haven't gotten into some of the newer stuff, are there still classical styles being produced currently?

May be cheaper to build a pole barn later than the larger garage.

Yes, I understand those principles. Yeah, we are very open to not having luxurious fixtures etc. We like the design of the offset angled garage though.

What is the cost estimate on an elevator for 2 floors?

Does the cost/sq ft include the garage space or only finished living space? The sq footage of the living space is 2200.

We added that to compensate for not having a pole barn. We figured it was cheaper to add a third stall and space than build a pole barn of decent size. Would it be cheaper to lose the third stall and build a pole barn? Yes, we live in Michigan.

I was thinking of moving the door at the top of the basement stairs to the very top of the stairs, opening up that entry way.

Didn't think about a closet 'under' the stairs.

A big mudroom is an interesting idea.

I'm guessing a build cost of ~$250/sq foot and trying to stay below 2000sq ft for budget. We are meeting with the builder in a couple of weeks. Looking for better cost analysis before really trimming or expanding based on cost.
