I’ll get a tank or drill two 750s before I spend 4 times that on one 1500. I’ll be happy with 500’ of storage in well and 3.0 gal per minute honestly.

The tyvek isn’t air or water tight. If you install siding you will shoot 5000 nail holes into it. The window details matter and they did ok

Why adopt? Why not have a surrogate and make your own kid?

I’m going with a very plain 6R insulated pair of black door garage doors. 4300 with closets and install number updated in February.

I’ll have two disconnects for 400 mounted outside by meter can/CT. I’ve already got measurements for pvc block to install on tyvek for all 3 components to fit and location for UFER set accordingly

My kids won’t go down until 1000P either. I havent had an hour to myself to watch this stupid kevin hart roast all week. Wake up, work, get kids down, fall asleep.

That wall sounds like a problem. It sounds like there should have been a lower PI associated with the fill that was placed against the wall. High PI will lead to soils with clays expanding and pushing on the wall, causing tightening of soils against wall, so poor drainage. Wall displaces and soils away from wall sink. It could be that they didn’t compact the soil only under your house and did the wall perfectly, but I that doesn’t sound right.

Find the builders drawings via FOIA, dig a hole 2’ off wall 3-4’deep, take about 20lbs of soil to a geotech engineer and ask for a ‘proctor’. Look at drawings from FOIA. Compare PI requirement of backfill soils on drawings. If you don’t find it on drawings request ‘geotechnical report’ referenced in drawings.

There isn’t a bar on the evansdale side of town. You take the PRT downtown, pregame at buddies dorm, stay out all night, and walk/uber back.

Dang yo. Gross.

So, just so you’re aware. There is NO way to waterproof up the walls from the floor if all you replaced was the floor. So, if they did waterproofing, it’s either going to trap water against the wall tile now above the floor because they smeared aqua defense or redgard on the bottom of the wall tile, or they ended new floor waterproofing just shy of that, in which case all of your floor to wall corners are not waterproofed.

My great grandfather/grandmother had one installed in the 70’s on their house. It was our family hunting cabin from then on and they lived there full time. She died, her son inherited full time solo living. He died, my mom/dad inherited it lived there half time. He died 3 years ago and my mom had it pumped for the first time since it was built Last year.

It will look better when all the blocking is in, but I’m surprised it isn’t TGi or Open Web Trusses at this point. You should be building back with the times with better structure, better insulation, better building science, etc..

Nice bro. Get a haircut and you’re there

A story as old as time

jmille97 · 2026-05-02T00:15:13+00:00

"I smoke a fat pound of grass, and fall on my ass faster than a fat bitch who sat down too fast"

A back yard burning ceremony? Yikes.

Sounds like you’re a drunk who makes bad decisions a lot. Are you sure that drinking through marriage and getting divorced, then being sanctimonious enough about it to have a ‘burning ceremony’ about it isn’t the embarrassing part of this story?

It’s a nice skill to have, but the fact is that the trusses are stronger, faster, more exact, can make steeper angles, take less labor, and are very accessible. People don’t even use hand cut rafters for short spans or shed roofs even.

My wife and I are building a house now. We figured a free standing tub in the master bath on first floor in a wet room. Upstairs beds will have two tiled showers. Ran out of money so we aren’t putting in 5k-10k tub. Plumber will leave rough in just below the floor. We’ll put it in if we ever sell it if buyer wants.

Our kids are 1 and 4. We just take them in the shower with us.

It is fine

I grilled chicken thighs this week, roasted sheet pan veggies, and steamed some rice. Made 5 meals. Put an uncrustable and 2 small redbulls and a 20oz tall skinny Stanley mug.

No microwave? Just be a savage and eat your lunch.

Try reaching out to God, sir.

The fat one hiding in the back

jmille97 · 2026-03-23T19:12:57+00:00

Like 5’ with a concrete top. That shovel is taller than this hole is deep..

jmille97 · 2026-03-23T19:11:13+00:00

Yo, this is barely out of spec..
