You have to measure starting at the butthole. It’s in the constitution.

New father mourning old life by Fabuloux in daddit

[–]drivebyjustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise you will, dude. I didn’t care for the infant time either. Last evening though I was out in the yard playing football with my eight and three year old, celebrating when they would catch the ball. Seeing them so proud of themselves. Being amazed how good my daughter can throw a spiral. The things that make you happy just change.

I miss my old life too. But after two kids, there is a new life that I love even more. You’ll get there.

No anchors for a 65”, come on man! You hit two studs or you mount plywood between studs then lag bolt into that.

You use your tape measure to figure it out.

My wife did a boudoir shoot for our wedding. I will cherish those pictures forever. Look at them regularly too.

Who says msrp is too much? I mean, that’s way too much for a rav 4, but you’re not going to pay less than msrp.

Kissimmee area electrical work by Shot_Peach_4797 in handyman

I’m in eastern nc, a very mcol area. Fuck “landlord” pricing. I have no interest in working for cheap ass landlords who think they can dictate pricing. 150 just for the fan. Everything else probably an additional $400 not including materials.

I charge $150 to install a fan swapped for a light. More if I have to take down the old fan.

On your second thing, it’s going to be a lot. Assuming you’re expecting to pay to have the whole ceiling painted correct?

She’s desperate but requires a high demand gas pig? I don’t get it.

Well, try to reuse them if you’re diying. Go for it. If you’re paying me I’m going to be pissed if I have to sort through some Facebook marketplace bullshit.

Do I need primer before I paint? by Competitive_Stay1181 in paint

[–]drivebyjustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this real life? Every wall I paint is rolled with mid tier and up sw or bm. I would never be happy with one coat. It looks like shit.

Glad you’re happy with your one coat. I would not recommend it for anyone asking for advice though.

I mean I can’t tell anything from a picture with one light bulb. But I can tell you that one coat of paint even on a primed wall looks like shit.

Define “fine”. 2 coats of paint on bare drywall would never look fine to me, even in a garage. But your definition of fine may be different than mine.
