And Robison and Derrick Johnson. '06 Texas if Vince had stayed would have been the best team in the history of college football, right? I can't even comprehend the destruction we would have wrought.

Nice of Rahm to take off his fitbit for his wedding ... wait.

My buddy using the S20 is always w/in ~2 yards of my rangefinder. I was impressed.

I was gifted the Approach S62 (Garmin). This fucking thing is like a supercomputer ... they're trying to compete in about six different areas with it. Golf, fitness/steps, health/sleep monitoring, general style (app marketplace, custom watch faces, etc). It's incredibly comfortable, and can apparently do it's thing on the golf course w/o your phone nearby which is nice. I used it for three holes this last weekend and it got confused about what hole we were on and I couldn't fix it, so I took it off (and then felt the urge to yell "get off my lawn!" at the cart kid). I can't see how a range finder takes too long - it's in a specific pocket in my bag, I can shoot the flag first thing as I get to my ball (when walking), and then go about my normal routine. Buddy has the approach S20, which just does golf stuff. He loves it.

Depends on the game ... for a heads up match, you use the differential. The 5 would be getting 4 shots from the 9, one each on the 1-2-3-4 handicap holes. For any sort of points game, or a "Net Flight" tournament, everyone gets their full allotment of shots (or whatever percentage was agreed to), and then you tally up the points/scores at the end.

Relatedly, I think Christina Kim is doing a really good job. Really good insight from a players mentality, and has a good feel for the mic. She still talks too much, but I think this is only her second week on the broadcast? She'll continue to improve.

See, you get me.

Because craigslist is home to the worst scum and villany in the galaxy.

I can never tell if people on this website are being sarcastic or not ...

Yeah I totally get that. We went through several design cycles when we were building - the front of our hour faces SSW, so the afternoon sun is BRUTAL (pretty decent for our solar panels tho). I also appreciate your expertise here. Project has already been killed. The research phase shows that I don't really have enough room for the golf sim. A bummer sure, but I'd rather know now than after we invest a bunch of money and time.

This is unfinished above-garage space. The house envelope is sprayed (and vented). Not sure why you're coming at this so negatively, but ok.

... and I say this with love ... fuck you. Goddammit, a FP and Ant, on the goddamned shelf?

The whole house is spray, and appropriately conditioned. We had good AC and insulation subs when we built.

Well, the plan was to spray before finishing it out, to basically turn the entire unfinished attic into the new house envelope. When we built, the insulation contractor said "if we spray, the you won't put in a ridge vent ... if we batt, then we'll put in a ridge vent". That said, I finally got around to hard-core space calculations, and the space isn't big enough for the golf simulator I want to build. I've got room to swing a club, yeah, but not to space back from the screen AND include seating and such that the wife wants. So we're most likely going to leave it as-is for now. Possibility of making it into a home theater in the future, but not going to do that for now since the living room setup is perfectly adequate for that.

I've got some serious grand plans :). I'll share pics and progress here, for sure. I don't have a background in anything official, but my family is littered with craftsmen. My grandfather and uncle built houses for ~30 years. Dad and several uncles are hobbyist handymen, haven't met a project they can't tackle. I've had that same attitude taught to me growing up - we rarely outsourced a project, always did it ourselves. Electrical work, construction work, flooring/tile, plumbing, etc. I'm a little more careful than dad (thus some of these planning questions); dad will sometimes just jump in and start cutting. But I'll tell you this - his eye is AMAZING. We'll start something and I"ll have no idea what the endgame is, and when it's done it looks like a professional tradesman did the work. I learn something new every day from him, and we've been doing projects like this together for 30 years.

Agreed 100pct. I'm still working out plans, drawings, etc. Goal is to be able to review, probably even chalk-line out, the full structural plan with someone when they come out. Appreciate all the insight and brainstorming on this thread.

Worried about supporting total weight - we will still need to use the space above the room as storage. Rather safe than sorry, esp since there's no incremental labor cost (just my sweat). Also, the inside wall (not pictured) needs a ledger board anyway - it's vertical plywood as the outside of the existing house envelope. I'll support the ledgerboard with flat-mounted 2x4's. The space between the 2x4's is actually perfect for sound dampening material, so win-win.

Going to put in new bracing for the ceiling; ledger boards on both walls supported by new studs.

Appreciate the insight here, all. I'll probably have someone come look at it; drt mind dropping me a PM with your guys' number? I'm actually more interested at this point in making sure it's done right, since I"m finishing out that space it just makes it harder to fix something in the future. Onboard, you've got the right plan; I've got no issues furring around it when the time comes, just wanted to see what my options are.

I mean, there's a reason I'm asking questions before I do anything ...

Home construction question for the group. I'm starting a project to finish out part of our walk-in attic space - home theater and golf simulator room woot. The space is above the garage, and has a high roof line situation (about ~16-17'). I'm going to be putting in a ceiling around 11-12' depending on final height requirements for the golf sim (and golf swing). There's a single front-facing window, above which is an interesting brace - pictures below. The brace runs vertically, and attaches to the front wall as well as the center roof beam. I *think* this is a sort of anti-sway or anti-torque bracing for when the house was still mid-frame, and possibly not needed anymore (I can move the low-voltage wiring with ease). Two questions: 1. Do you agree or disagree with my diagnosis? 2. I'd like to either remove it, or relocate it, as the bottom is in the way of where I want the eventual ceiling to be. I'm happy to replace it higher up if it's serving a current functional purpose. Thoughts?

Physically how did you do the buffing? By hand? Rotary sander with the lambswool attachment? Other? I'm somewhat ashamed to admit this, but I've literally never waxed a car in my life. Now that we have a brand-new-off-the-line tesla, I'd like to change that. (BTW this tesla is scary fast).

Sold this one too.
