  1. Cool story warning: My first house in Austin was built in 1942 and it had a cellar (the crawl space was cleared out under one side of the house). Any way, there was an air conditioning unit for half the house in the cellar hanging from the floor above. AC was probably 20 yrs old. The evaporation line just ran outside next to the house and that spot was always wet. I cut the line and had it empty to a Home Depot bucket. Damn thing filled up in less than half a day. So I bought some drip lines, ran them to a rose garden, bought a small fountain pump, and a timer. I tinkered with the timing and had it down. The pump would turn on and water my roses until water ran down to pump. Timer shuts it off and lets it refill. It ran just about twice a day and the roses were amazing.
  2. Does anyone use a well to keep their pool filled? Any concerns there?
  3. Excavation guys were here early. I let the head guy know this wasn’t going to work. “No problem. We’ll move it over.” Pool guy called. He hates me now (got his info here for my first pool). He just asked what I wanted. Told him exactly and he said done. They’re digging. Feeling a lot better
  4. Tried to yesterday after I got home but haven’t heard back yet. The plan this morning is to tell him where it needs to be and see where we go from there.
  5. We put a pool in my old house in 2022 and are using the same guy for our new house. Yard is different, but we’re looking at similar design. Contract signed. They came and marked today. It’s freaking us out because it looks different marked out than we planned (how it’s oriented in the yard). They’re coming at 8 to dig but I want to abort everything st this point (we’ll still do the pool, just not sure about the current design). And I will still use this guy. Am I crazy or should I just trust the builder. In 2022 he talked me into some things and out of some things. Pool came out awesome. We originally started with pool+kitchen area. Ditched the kitchen area for the pool. The pool design was a backseat during the whole process. I typically don’t get stressed out, but I’m there now.
  6. Where was Arch?
  7. Can anyone tell me what this is? St Augustine
  8. Should be 40+ to 3
  9. Did he not see the qb throw the ball??
  10. But they’re not even close
  11. My mom has gone down this road. Around 2015 I realized she was addicted to the internet. She would do crazy shit like wake up in the middle of the night and go through FB. She would randomly think of something while laying in bed. Instead of writing it down or just trying to remember in the morning, she would go sit at the computer and google all night. For the last 4 years it’s been crazy story after crazy story. There’s always an excuse when the prediction doesn’t happen. Blood in the streets was a big one. All these people were going to be arrested and some were going g to be killed. All over the country. As far as I know, that never happened. She is convinced she is one of the few “in-the-know”. And if you don’t understand, the. You are the one missing out. Cancer isn’t real either. If people didn’t have surgery, cancer would never develop. My sister just had a friend pass of MS. My mom told my wife the doctors were all wrong and it was Lymes disease. Cancer can be cured with lemon zest. We had a friend whose 7yr daughter had some type of cancer a couple years ago. My mom got all animated that the girl was at MD Anderson. Said she should do lemon zest and it would be gone. I had to tell her I was done listening to it. I don’t want her talking to my kids about any of it. It sucks. My sister finally told her the same. If I didn’t have kids, I wouldn’t talk to my parents. It is usually extremely stressful to spend time with my mom.
  12. Shit calls for shit game makes sense
  13. Bring in the backup
  14. Dr visit this morning went well. Turns out it’s a strength problem. His shoulder isn’t strong enough and it’s putting strain on the muscles around his elbow. Not tennis elbow, just a strained muscle. Going to do some PT and teach him a routine to help strengthen his shoulders. Huge relief. Avoid over doing it for the next week and he should be good to go.
