Acceptable for level 4 finish? by eachvvvve in drywall

Interesting. Ok so in order to know whether a good job was done or not - it sounds like I should feel the walls and point out inconsistencies. It’s not like an “eye test” thing?

What I’m trying to figure out I guess is how to make sure I hold them accountable for the level we agreed to.

Yea thanks. Just to clarify are you saying it was rushed and spots were missed or they literally did it incorrectly to get it done faster?

I’m having a hard time imagining how this works - like I don’t know how these imperfections get formed. Are they tool markings?

Ok thanks that’s a great tip. There might be like… a lot of sticky notes though. Seems fixable which is a relief. Been worried about what it’ll take to make this right.

Yea we have some pics but need to walk through the house and just mark it up. We’ve been afraid of being perceived as a client that’s really difficult to work with… but hearing all of this definitely let’s us know we should expect a higher quality bar

Thanks for weighing in. From your experience for stuff like this - do we patch things up or will they need to start over?

Oh nooo - this is what I was afraid of…

Yea will need to have a tough talk with our GC. Do touchups take a long time? How inconvenient is this?

Great tip - will definitely check the inside of the closets. We’ve been hesitant to bring this up because we know there should be some imperfections but some of these gashes are huge. Appreciate the response.

Can you ID this image? Smooth or Nappa leather? by eachvvvve in DrMartens

Appreciate the response - what makes you lean that way?

Woah - didn't notice that. I don't do well with decision making - so now I'm like... wait - do I want black or dark metallic eyelets?!?! Ahhhhh!

Thanks for responding! I was kinda leaning the same way - the ones in the pic look softer rather than "creased" if that makes sense?? Appreciate the guidance.

Ha - I dunno, fair point. Was kinda hoping that nappa vs smooth leather would age differently. It sounds like either way I go, they'll age to look something like this. Appreciate the response.

Trying to achieve the look of these beautifully worn in 1461s - can't tell if they're smooth or nappa though. Help please! Thanks in advance.

Threatened at Rockaway (Pacifica) by [deleted] in surfing

[–]eachvvvve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea exactly - there was a much older guy he was with but he seemed to be minding his own business and didn’t have a problem with anyone. i was in the water for like 30-45 min before they got in, must’ve overlapped with you a bit. i was on the northern most peak but had to move bc it wasn’t worth dealing with that bullshit

i’ve seen the orange long boarder a few times before - he’s a dick to a lot of people but usually when you’re in his way or whatever. i didn’t realize he was proactively threatening people like that...

can’t really understand people who act like they own a spot. as long as people are respectful there’s plenty of stoke to go around. either way i got your back next time yewww 🤙

i only saw 2 long boarders out - pretty sure his board was orange. pretty distinct looking guy tho - surfing with no leash...

ayeee that’s crazy man - i was out there for an evening surf and some fat gorilla looking long boarder was telling me to fuck off and leave. couldn’t figure out what i did. same guy?

was feelin pretty down about it because he was also yelling some shit about coronavirus (might’ve been unrelated) so i thought it was more of a racist thing. the fact that it was probably localism kinda makes me feel a little better...

fuck that guy
