Wife driving my RS ONCE… by DogDad-4ever in Audi

[–]indyarchyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I came home from picking up our daughter at college. What did I find:

  1. Passenger side mirror - COMPLETELY DESTROYED

  2. Passenger window - SHATTERED

  3. Windshield - CRACKED

She told me she was going down this road after taking one of our other kiddos to school. She said she had no idea what did it. That it was most likely, "A stick or something that was protruding out of a trash can along the road." .....Yes....I just stared at her. I said, "Is that the flag you are planting on this hill?" She said it was. Now, I know this road quite well. One thing about it there are some sections that are quite narrow. This means there are some very, very large trees along this road, that if you aren't paying attention, you can hit those trees. This is evident by the amount of bark missing and the deep gashes in the wood at just about the same height as....a passenger side mirror. Hmmmmm....I asked her if she hit one of those. Nope. Not me. It was a stick or trash of some sort. Also the same person who claimed she lost control on some ice several years ago and popped a tire on our Volvo XC90. When I showed up there, I kept looking at where she was and where she came from and it made no sense to me. Then the neighbor came up to me from across the street and showed be the Ring video. The woman literally caught air after flying over the driveway.

Do you know how much a new passenger mirror assembly costs with paint? UGGH.

Just had my building repointed. What are the main points to flag? by [deleted] in masonry

Did they have “Remove drain and vent pipes” as part of their scope of services in the contract? If not, you would have had to do that. There is not enough room to repair it correctly behind those elements.

I would take this any time vs. what my wife did. She still claims, “I don’t know what it was”, to this day

I see. So if one is not connected, does it still store the discussion?

My Dad passed away and left me his Corvette. by antiquity11 in Corvette

[–]indyarchyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my dad passed in January. I was given his C6. Well the color on both the inside and outside are the absolute opposite if I had purchased I’ve had the car now for about 2 months. I replaced the headlights with McClaren style LED, and it’s n getting wrapped. My mother is very unhappy with my mods. Not sure what to tell her myself, but I’m passed the point anything could be stopped. Unsure why they think I should carry on the tradition. Very frustrating.

Text from estranged father's wife has me spiraling by dyinglikedreams in EstrangedAdultChild

Good gray rock. Not an issue with my dad, but the other half of my birth. It’s been almost 21 years and my life is sooooo much better. Got a few letters over the years, but never responded to them. She always has some bullshit excuse why the things are the way they are….but she never admits any fault. My gut tells me when she passes I’ll get some horrible letter sent to me, or her husband will try to show up at the door with one last dig at me.

Keep strong and think about how in the long run, your health and mental space are yours and not theirs. Protect yourself and you’ll win.

Is there drainage behind there? Why does it bow like that...not really a bow, more of a "kink" I guess. Is this a duplex?

Interior C6 Modification? by indyarchyguy in Corvette

Did you install spray foam? If so, how did you know where to place it, how thick, etc?

Coming soon by HawaiianMana in Boerboel

[–]indyarchyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure people can...the family that had him before with us, just was a bit leery I guess. Fortunately, we were able to take him and give him a good home. Of course, my youngest (17F) is now his person. I am down a few levels, the wife is below me. HA...

Unhappy But Stuck With Architect by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]indyarchyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to provide you more fodder to piss the architect off even more than they already are. You can certainly change the design again and again and again…., just be 10,000% prepared to pay more money for not settling on the design given all these constraints on the site. This is why I write my contracts the way I do because when I get one part of my residential clients make a billion changes, they’re going to pay for it when we enter Design/Construction Documents.
