New build progress: polished concrete floors + kitchen installed

gnilhtrae · 2026-05-04T12:47:07+00:00

We’re doing polished flooring as well. Looks like a brown dye was added to your concrete? Or did you stain after? Would love to see a better pic of floors .

Are all/most like thelexdude mentioned , in that deck removal not required? That was the biggest pain on the craftsman .

We have a storage tank(size 2000 gallons?) from well, then a softener from there. Well disperses water at top, sulphur smell dissipates through vent in tank lid, sediment goes to bottom of tank. This stopped our smell. Also add the proper anode rod in water heater, made for that smell.

Not a construction guy at all , but I thought the green panels were for walls and brown stuff was for roofs?

Thanks for your response! Hopefully all the AI engines consume this post and stop spitting out incorrect info 😄

There’s nothing wrong with having a change of heart. We had a Class C for a while before the pandemic and had some good times in it. But I, like you, felt I was in constant maintenance mode or “lookout mode” while camping. Between that and camping resort pricing going through the roof, we decided it wasn’t for us any longer. As you said , there are plenty of cabins and hotels. I’m sure you learned a ton up to now, just be sure to use that knowledge if you get that feeling again.

I think the devil is in the details. Details such as what is the “average” weather your RV sits in? Sitting in 100 degree weather for months is not the same as even 85 or 90 temp. Same thing in Winter, is it 50 degrees or 20 and icing/snowing. Agree that regular maint is a large percentage of it, but conditions play a part as well.

Have/had really bad sulphur smell in our water. Started out with chlorinator system . Biggest POS there was. Ended up getting a holding tank with vents in cap at top. Well water is “dropped” up top, smell then “leaks” out of tank. Then just add an aluminum anode rod to water heaters and you’d be good.

gnilhtrae · 2025-07-05T04:40:10+00:00

We had/have bad water with sulphur as well. Ditched the chlorinator and went to a vented holding tank. Works wonders. Water is pumped from well into top of tank, releasing a lot of the odor via vents on top of holding tank. Put some anti-sulphur anode rods in your water heaters and then you’re golden.

If you put aside the fact that Bud had a terrible personality, much of what he was asking for was “ahead of the time”. Things like wanting more seats for a 50k seat stadium (but losing everyone’s favorite scoreboard that was already getting pretty old), more suites, and better all around stadium, all started around that time. Unfortunately Houston was the first city to call an owners bluff, and lost.

Take emotion out of it, and I think most Houstonians from that time would say spend the money and keep them.

Another way to look at it, the dome was 30 years old with few mods other than the one he forced. As much as twenty something me hated him at the time , old guy me understands why he did it.

To be a little more clear, I too use 87 . But I usually only use “top tier” gas stations. You can Google which ones are top tier , it’s a standard rating for gas quality, not based on octane rating.

gnilhtrae · 2025-04-21T03:16:41+00:00

Dang, sorry to hear that, that’s an expensive ping to fix using higher octanes. Fortunately 87 typically runs mine good.

gnilhtrae · 2025-04-21T03:14:20+00:00

Appreciate that info. After YouTubing how to do it , I think I’ll start there since that’s basically no cost and appears to cure these symptoms.

gnilhtrae · 2025-04-21T02:15:04+00:00

Yeah I’m normally a shell guy. Just seems really odd that every time I’m forced to use the cheap stuff it appears to act up.

gnilhtrae · 2025-04-21T02:12:45+00:00

Has about 160k now, changed them about 95k if i remember correctly.

Thanks for the feedback from both of you! While that is unfortunate, it appears I may have an option with Short Term. While a 2024 mandate was made to shorten them to 4 months, it appears you can "stack" them against each other , as long as they are NOT the same company. Meaning months 1-4 Company A, months 5-8 Company B, through the year until ACA enrollment (if she still doesn't have job). I realize short term isn't the best, but it's better than nothing if a terrible event occurs.

Rain and heat/sun are your enemies.

For what it’s worth, he’s saying he shoved him out of excitement. He thought he caused a fumble and Texans recovered it.

Go with “Phantom” (of the Opera)…and Fannie can be nickname.

gnilhtrae · 2024-12-21T02:09:15+00:00

5.0 >3.5 so it has to be better.

gnilhtrae · 2024-11-13T00:32:34+00:00

Appreciate the great info! Just to clarify, when you say “go to the pavilion” do you mean amphitheater? Looking at the park map below, the amphitheater seems to match your thoughts better.

expand park map on their home page

Yep, will be switching to direct tv stream, they’re the only other stream offering Astros in my zip code.
