  1. Also could do frontier utilities
  2. i'm switching today or tomorrow to Gexa or Rhythm if anyone wants to share a referral code.
  3. google says IRA and HSA are the only options, and we don't qualify for either. ugh.
  4. I’m a lazy idiot and didn’t pre-figure our taxes before 12/31. There’s no other non-IRA way to reduce tax liability after the year-end is there? We both are covered by retirement plan at work so we can’t do a previous year IRA contribution.
  5. Or is that the only difference between paint grade and stain grade?
  6. The cabinetmaker just posted this on Facebook. Am I wrong that the paint grade cabinets look exactly like my stain grade ones save the mdf?
  7. I said walnut, they said we can get a similar look for cheaper.
  8. Hurleys gum chewing is meme worthy. Ew.
  9. I paid $1250. My friends and I have all used him before and been happy with his work. I reached out to let them know I wasn’t happy with it and why. They apologized and said they would get back to me. Realistically what are my options? Should I just paint it? Or return it and risk burning a bridge? I’m disappointed with more than the species. It just doesn’t look very well done— super blotchy with visible planing marks. Drawer mechanism seems wonky too. I honestly don’t consider myself super picky, and I definitely bear some responsibility for not asking more questions and drawing up a contract. (In retrospect I think I was reluctant to do anything that would slow it down because i ordered it in October and it took several follow up texts to get any movement on it all.)
  10. I took delivery on this custom vanity an hour ago, and I am realizing now that I am pretty disappointed in how it turned out with respect to the inspiration image I sent the carpenter. The color of the stain doesn't necessarily bother me per se, but the prominent wood grain makes it look rather rustic, when this tiny powder room is probably the most formal room in my house. The cabinets have a noticeable gap as well. Can someone take a guess at what type of wood this is? Is there anything that can be done to make it look a little less country? I guess I could paint it, but I'm annoyed as I paid extra for stain grade wood.
  11. Another thing that has me scratching my head-- I went to a giant 6A school in Texas that had multiple DI athletes in a few sports and even multiple professional athletes. I knew literally zero kids on any varsity sports team as they were celebrities. Here in our smallish city all of my friends' (white, upper-middle class) kids play varsity sports at the 4A and 5A schools. I'm guessing there's a huge difference in the large metropolitan schools vs the schools in smaller cities, and less of a difference in the 1-3A schools.
  12. time is the primary reason we have not considered club sports. are club sports in cities with <100000 people really legit?
  13. Exactly the feedback i was looking for!! thanks.
  14. She plays everything we offer. Volleyball, cross country, basketball, soccer, track, tennis, powerlifting. Her favorite is whatever season it is. She was state mvp for basketball but I don’t consider that her best sport. I have no idea how she would stack up against high competition club sports athletes. I don’t even know if my smallish city has that. She is better than the other girls on her school teams that play club sports. Small. 5'4" and probably mostly done growing.
