  1. What do you mean by 1/1 vs 2/1 buy down, and how is seller able to pay that?
  2. Well I finally decided I don’t like seeing my family that much anyway and bought this last night. It’s been a decade, but I don’t remember an internet connection being mandatory for d3. Started with necro. Only to lvl 10. I get much more enjoyment than I should from spamming corpse explosion
  3. No pre stain treatment. Didn’t even know that was a thing. So I wonder if I shouldn’t just paint over it at this point? If I do paint with latex, do I have to use and oil based primer first? like this? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Cover-Stain-1-gal-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-3501/100398377?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D24-024_022_PRIMERS-NA-Multi-NA-PLALIA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-FY21_Multi_PLALIA&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D24-024_022_PRIMERS-NA-Multi-NA-PLALIA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-FY21_Multi_PLALIA-71700000075826637-58700006498654198-92700058683659550&gbraid=0AAAAADq61UcRAv3DG-04fC3_qek1RgLcA&gclid=CjwKCAjw44mlBhAQEiwAqP3eVkeQKJQ2pNm1ozUoV9TILkkZUKbrfMAu5Nrk4gES7KGttiNpUFEjBxoChsUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
  4. Help me out so I don’t lose my man card. Started with sanded pine for stair treads. I wanted a more grey stain but this is what wife picked. The stain does not look…even? Just not what I was expecting. Will a second coat fix this? Do I need to lightly sand first? Heavily sand?
  5. Mariah Carey should be at the top of your comparisons and I’ll cut anyone who disagrees
  6. And sometimes people for a “small gathering” get in a fight with each other and use an SUV to ram a truck through your garage door, and when the cops show up people are just streaming out of the house. Got a quite a few fun stories. It’s a pain sometimes, but if you can just get through it you realize you have something to laugh at later on.
  7. Our fees are actually less than what the cleaning crew charges us. People bitch about cleaning fees and wonder how it can be expensive then come your home and leave cigarette butts and beer cans everywhere outside, track sand in by the truckload from the beach, spill shit everywhere, let their kids draw in the doors, etc.
  8. Yep. And I don’t think the air handler on the wall looks bad, but they make handlers to put in the ceiling that look like normal registers
  9. We put a different brand in our master bedroom when our main unit died and we were waiting on new central unit. We’ve added several to rentals we bought, and I will never again install central AC if the duct isn’t already run. May not install it anyway. I like being able to control each room. I think it saves money.
  10. Yeah. And it’s going on 70+ years. Possible the cedar siding was doing some of the load bearing? All the old plumbing was to ~500 gallon septic tanks made out of concrete. Sturdy as fuck but I think only about 1/4 to 1/3 of what code would require for size now. And the drainfield wasn’t much either. Of course, 2-3 generations later, the crack head family members just ran the main line to the ditch when the line to the tank broke and they couldn’t figure out how to fix it.
  11. Weird. I've heard of blocking in specific spots for specific things, but never seen this. I’m not saying it is right. I think it is done to save a few bucks by people who don’t know what they’re doing and/or don’t think anyone will notice. I’ll see if I can find pictures of the one we gutted. The 1950s home as we were taking it down
  12. Wait...runs wall studs horizontal? Say more about this... They’re not holding anything up. It’s just framing to hold up drywall. I think it saves a handful of 2x4s. They did this on our house built in about 2000. I also recently found it on a house we are redoing built in about 1950
  13. My room where my wife hung up a picture. ETA fuck any builder that runs wall studs horizontals to save a few bucks. Just making the wife problem worse
  14. It’s the opening credits. Who gives a shit. People need to put the phone down and go outside.
  15. Well now I actually want one of these
  16. I’m seabrook/clear lake area. Did a tropical storm just roll in from the north? Was going to sit outside and enjoy it but the wind is crazy
  17. Yeah. Crazy she is gone after so many years 😥 Edit - also how does Emilia look like she’s 18 still?
  18. We have since replaced our AC, but we installed a 1 ton mini split. You can find them for about $700. We still use it now and generally save money because no point in cooling off the whole house when we mainly use one room
  19. Yeah but the way the chart reads, you have to get close to that edge to have that characteristic. Mid line means neutral (thus Rage is only angry). So that chart impure they are nothing. Which is wrong. And I’ve probably spent more if CNN my life in that chart than is warranted now
  20. Or someone has 480 hours.
  21. Well, clearly it can reach the Titanic wreckage, I think the bigger question is the return.
  22. Are they saying Foo was nothing?
  23. To go alone with the AI talk
