  1. That was what I was thinking after I calmed down a bit. What is preventing a friend from walking into the store right now and buying 300 sq ft of it? I guess no way to be sure it is coming from the same "lot" as what they are going to install in "2-3 weeks".
  2. I am not in Austin but thank you. So before the lady at the flooring store was clued in she told me coming back and doing it at a later date I would risk it looking different because it would likely come from a different lot. If I buy it from a different store that all but assures that. Or maybe it doesn't, I'm unfamiliar with the product but that is what she told me.
  3. Surly has good minds for this sort of thing. I'm too mad to think rationally right now. Doing a remodel. We have an old school mid 70s colonial with a "circle" floorplan on the first level. Part of the remodel is the kitchen and dining area. Included in scope is LVT flooring for the kitchen/dining, hall and front foyer. This leaves the (currently carpeted) living room out. The living room is approximately 215 sq/ft. I asked the builder for a quote to extend. The quote was $6k. The LVT we are looking at is $4/sq ft. I called the flooring store directly and asked them what they charge to install and they told me between $2.50 and $2.75/sq ft. The catch is they don't want to lose the contractor's business so they would need written sign off from them that our job is complete and it was ok to work with us if we went back to them after the fact. I seriously doubt this crook will give that. Plus there's no guarantee the lot would even match. I would love to punt the entire flooring portion of the contract and farm it out but I'm sure they won't agree to that and issue credits. Hell if they think a 215 sq ft living room is worth $6k that would be like a $15k credit but that's probably a pipe dream. What do I do?
  4. Curious, what did you like better about Gemstone and Jellyfish vs Trimlight? I was looking at Trimlight but I see we have a Gemstone installer in the area now, as well.
  5. You motherfucker. Also watching MACtion and I hadn't noticed.
  6. One thing I know I don't need is to see Robert DeNiro dressed in drag telling their neighbors that a couch isn't going to fit in their apartment. Jesus I'd rather watch Gronk pretending he really wants insurance. No judging but that woman is hideous.
  7. Have a cameo made for her from Gary Busey
  8. I'm getting sick and tired of Christian and Scooby.
  9. I don't really know anymore. I don't have time to have a social life. You definitely should hit up Buddy's, probably the original one on Conant for ambiance. Al Ameer in Dearborn for middle eastern. While you are there check out the Henry Ford. Maru downtown is good. Hudson Cafe is supposed to be good for breakfast. Joy Rd and Schaefer is a nice area.
  10. Is Whitmore going to play? Why isn't he getting minutes? I don't follow the Rockets but I drafted him in the last round of fantasy.
  11. It was Jr and he got him at 5. JT went 4th. Keepin' Luka in the family, dude won me the league last year.
  12. I think the part about hiring a GC to oversee their GC is a bridge too far. In many ways you're at each other's mercy and it benefits you both to play nice. I am sure you're sick of being the nice guy - I fucking know I am. And I would definitely watch what they do more closely to see if additional oversight is warranted. I hope for your sake it isn't.
  13. I think so. I propose bumping first to and second down $100. But I'm not passionate about it. Just feels like champ should get more than 100 more than runner up.
  14. Can you add a co owner from the app? I can't find it. I need to add my nephew dnelson916@icloud.com to Jrs team, Fish Friends. I think you need to do it on a web browser.
  15. I am keeping Shai and Jabari. Sorry @Dutchrudder
  16. If you order Jack Handey's book, he will sign it and write you a note. True story.
  17. Central right? If so yes that works.
  18. I linked it two posts up from yours. I'll work with him tonight on setting everything up. I got him to download the app last night but he will have to create an account etc.
  19. I'm fine with them not having a keeper. My kid won't know the difference. As long as Dutch is fine with it. I agree it might get a little complicated trying to figure out a way to get them keepers. Link to last year's draft results. https://fantasy.espn.com/basketball/league/draftrecap?seasonId=2023&leagueId=113346
  20. Speaking of Lilly is it just me or does the new ATT ad on the airplane with Keegan Michael Key make zero sense. It makes sense to mock airlines for nickel and diming but her line about keeping your word and Keys reaction like it's the sickest burn of all time leave me wondering if I didn't hear the line right every time I see the damn commercial. She needs to go away.
  21. Got it. My bad. So then no keepers for the two new teams correct?
  22. I think actually Ballamatic is not returning? Do we have confirmation? @BallamaticBevo He was lemon pepper lou and I didn't see a post from him but maybe I missed it. Otherwise we're still at 9. 1, 2, 3. Derka 4. Rex 5. Z 6. Me 7. Jr 8. Cap 9. Dutch 10. Ballamatic?
  23. We are good with it. I'm good with 8, I don't really need to pay for a couple of randos to get it to 10, but I offered so I suppose it's still on the table. It's sort of fun having stacked teams.
