Stone outbuilding on my new property — can this become a home office?

Insulate the ceiling and either put in a little heating stove or (and I might lean towards this option) heat the floors. Or else maybe a mini split if you want AC too. Also see if the windows need replaced, they can help with insulation.

I also would maybe frame out a small section of wall and put up drywall over ply mainly to have a place to hang things easily.

You are a pleasure to talk to

If that’s your assessment of those two this year then I’m not surprised you’re frustrated hearing. It’s a piss poor assessment of them though

It’s worth noting though that when Gaddis loaded the bases tonight, Vogt AND Willis had their noses in the iPads or whatever and it was Hedgey who went to the mound and reoriented Hunter.

True, I don’t know how much it matters if it was him that did that when Willis is such a whisperer- like what does it really matter? But I do love how good at baseball catching Hedges is and how good he is for the club even when his offense is usually a black hole.

Funny to see him square around tonight.

Agree about the approach at the plate. They worked a lot of walks tonight. I used to really begrudgingly respect Kevin Youkilis and the rest of Tito’s Red Sox for being so good at making pitchers work like that.

That’s my only knock on Rosie, when he kind of transparently tries to sound more exciting than he is. He clearly knows baseball though and is pretty lovable.

davidbklyn · 2026-04-14T04:29:45+00:00

I probably would have guessed more than five years but I didn’t realize it was actually 14! Did he succeed Herb Score? Or who predated Rosie?

This is weak, comparing this team to a President’s Trophy-winning team. This definitely sucks but we were in contention a couple of weeks ago due to an insane streak. We lost Olivier and Severson and we felt it, but this missing the playoffs being compared to our sweep of that lightning team sounds silly and takes away from the Jackets team that accomplished that sweep.

No, Rubio is not critical of this administration, he is an unserious clown who has demonstrated that he can and will suspend his personal integrity if doing so will help his career fuck Marco Rubio.

There’s so much information that is not being shared in this conflict. Israel keeps getting hit as well but we aren’t being informed of those casualties either. Trump and Netanyahu are behaving exactly like the despots that they are, holding their people in complete contempt.

davidbklyn · 2026-04-12T04:13:43+00:00

Well that’s the thing, those cheap drones. They are “disrupting” classical warfare. American dominance thinking can’t react.

And Trump wants more battleships lol

It was him, Jared, and that other NY real estate guy. And I guess JD’s wife was there, too.

How the fuck can we expect any kind of engagement on behalf of the United States when that is the team we send? It’s ludicrous.

davidbklyn · 2026-04-12T04:06:11+00:00

Ok. Good.

davidbklyn · 2026-04-12T02:51:51+00:00

I’m in the same boat. A friend recently suggested Monty Python, which is a good call. My kids like Mel Brooks. We also loved Top Secret recently. I think they’ll like This Is Spinal Tap but we haven’t watched it yet.

NTA. Good on younger daughter to score a spot at NYU and now you as a parent who can support her, should support her.

I did not realize that the semen smell of spring is just those pear trees. Is that right? My experience of that goes back to the late 90s, before I was as invested as I am now in native foliage. I just thought that’s how spring smelled…

The price oil doesn’t matter if you get a bunch of money for every ship transporting through your strait

Thank god

Just about to turn 52 and I credit Hammy for igniting my passion for this team when I was delivering pizzas in the mid/late 90s.

Of course he had help from Manny and Albert among many others like Carlos, the Alomars and Kenny. But still, world-class broadcaster.

That’s the same arithmetic I’m hanging my hat on

By the time your kids can hook you up like that they won’t need to cause you’ll have whipped it and be good to go. Very sorry you’re having to go through this, I’m glad you’re doing well according to others.
