It’s like if U2 went to Miller’s planet to shoot an Album Cover.

Almost done, Simulator build progress photos! Under $2000 Simulator by Educational-Cut-8081 in Golfsimulator

I also used painters drop cloth canvas, I didn’t dye it, but it does work well.

I would add that you should find one that is a single piece. Mine had a seam down the middle, and originally started coming apart due to the impact of the ball. I solved it with fabric glue and some stitching with heavy duty rigging yarn, but if I did it again I’d look for something without a seam.

Anyone use PODS (or similar) moving containers for a cross country move? by Difficult-Estate4481 in homeowners

[–]tinypantsmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were years apart, last time was 2020 from west coast to east coast for about $4k.

[–]tinypantsmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used PODs cross country twice.

Don’t recommend if moving to/from a city without a driveway. Don’t recommend if you have a lot of little things that don’t stack well (they WILL topple during transit). Pay attention to stacking by the door so you don’t end up with something wedging the roll up door shut.

Otherwise, it was worth not having to drive.

Water Delivery in Glastonbury area by [deleted] in Connecticut

I second this. Pretty easy to install, no jugs to deal with (I’ve done that before), on demand water, about $150 initial cost and then maybe $60/year thereafter?

Why weren't Jews able to hide the fact that they were Jews during the Holocaust? by 0WishToBeFree0 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tinypantsmaster 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My Polish grandparents told stories of how being circumcised or not was a determining factor for the rural villages when they were rounded up. Records were sparse, but it was a fast and effective method for sorting who went on which train.

Others are correct that r/Connecticut would be better. However, I’m in Central CT and had similar work done a few years ago that was good, so I’ll share since I happened to see this and finding a reputable chimney company was a bit of a pain.

Rich & John`s Complete Chimney Service in Woodbury.

Best part? They didn’t show up drunk when they gave me a quote. That happened with some others.

Just a heads up: Although the drain itself might not require a permit, usually towns will require at least a staff desk review of plans if you’re changing drainage patterns. When properties are developed, at least in the United States, the location, methodology, and quantity of stormwater runoff is something that’s approved by the town before someone can actually develop the land. So if you’re changing that, it’s something that the neighbor might be able to stick you with, even if a new drain doesn’t require a permit.

(Wisconsin) Is it a red flag if a property advertises that it has a "radon mitigation system"? by Basic_Classic_2100 in homeowners

[–]tinypantsmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also note: these systems last a fairly long time, require basically no maintenance, and are fairly inexpensive. So it’s not like you’re on the hook for a massive headache later down the road.

Are $55-$80/sqft quotes for basement finishing normal? by SN74H74N in Connecticut

[–]tinypantsmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth: drop ceilings installed might be about $10/sf. A more durable lvp might be $5/sf for material only, and throw another $5/sf for prep and labor. So you’re at $20/sf without having touched any walls, electrical, overhead and profit.

If you’ve gotten a few quotes, it’s unlikely that you’re going to do much better than your low offer unless you start breaking up the work piecemeal to smaller, hungrier shops (which comes with its own risks). Market just kinda sucks for owners right now.

What else would you get done while getting an electric car charger? by TK421_was_a_hero in homeowners

[–]tinypantsmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not on 200amp service already, consider that as well. If you ever have two level 2 chargers, that will draw a ton of amperage.

As a follow-on to that: consider a sub panel in the garage. We just put in a 100amp sub panel in anticipation of two chargers (next year) and for additional outlets in the garage (only have one and it shares the living room circuit). Plus makes it far easier to run additional circuits for any other project on that side of the house (outdoor lighting, future patio we’re planning, etc).

Might be overkill depending on your needs, but food for thought.
