  1. I was quoted $400 for just doing the sheetrock back to the way it was. The $1200 extra is effectively just the labor on the lights. Doesn't include the lights or romex. And the labor seems minimal given that the ceiling joists look like this pic IMG_3620.HEIC
  2. I'd rather have cans with LED bulbs. Far cheaper and they will match the rest of the house. But not relevant to the discussion since the lights aren't included in the price.
  3. Mack Brown is clearly killing himself on the recruiting trail again. Impressive.
  4. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Since the ceiling is gone we know that's not an issue. It's just empty space and joists.
  5. OK, so I have a first floor ceiling that had some water damage from the shower above (fixed) so it has had the sheetrock removed. Existing setup was a track light, which I hate. I wanted to install a grid of 9 can lights in 3 rows of 3. The contractor quoted me $400 just to replace the existing sheetrock, $1600 to do that and install the lights. Includes sheetrock but not lights or romex. The ceiling is built kind of like a roof - with supports across that have two studs above and below with angled cross beams between them, so there's no need to drill through studs or anything - it's just straight runs of wire and mounting the lights. Given that the price doesn't include the materials, that extra $1200 seemed kinda high. Am I wrong? Is there more to this than I think?
  6. Same. Mine turn 16 in 2 months, which would be 8 months out from their second shot.
  7. Woman in my office-healthy, works out, mid-30s (no pics) was at death's door with COVID 2-3 weeks ago. ICU, oxygen tank, etc. She is back at work (??) but can't really take normal breaths - pauses a lot talking to breathe. She said no one ever told her which strain she had and AFASK they never checked. Is that typical?
  8. Does every school have these guys? "Here are the things I'm hearing out there. No one knows if the Delta State Fighting Okra have a shot with..."
  9. I'll take that chance right now. Being a HC is very different from being a good (or great) DC. Also like the odds that Lebby bolts as soon as he gets a good HC offer.
  10. Miami the school has never meshed with Miami the football team to me.
  11. Still better than the all blue unitards
  12. Poor guy just wanted a bag and had to sit there for hours while weed guy spun his theories on fucking everything from the weather to recruiting at Tech.
  13. Where the fuck is rock bottom? Fuck if we don’t keep digging and digging but it gets lower and lower.
  14. I don’t want to hear about whatever nasty, disgusting things those people are going to do when nobody’s watching.
  15. I don’t like either choice. Can I pick again?
  16. Finally got around to doing the second Texas Cares blood draw. Booster in October. Antibodies 2500+ as expected. Anyone know of a place in Houston that does the test above 2500? I wanna know if my blood is basically antibody jelly.
  17. Shit. OU is hiring Fickell? That concerns me.
  18. Where did Blevins go to law school?
  19. Have we had an article anywhere along the lines of “masks making it harder to catch bad guys”? Been waiting for that.
  20. Venables and Heupel and make Stoops introduce them both and talk about why he fired them. They’d probably do it just for that.
