  1. Just regular window latch that all windows have was sufficient, or height of latch matters? I was told they need some mechanism that limits opening to 4". There are the cheap stops that screw on to the rails but I don't know if that's sufficient.
  2. Also planning one of the cheap stick on door alarms and I suspect like most people, I plan to toss it or return it after final inspection. It's the 10 windows I have, I'm not sure what to do. My upstairs windows all have the stops that spring into a hole in the frame at 4 inches open and then you have to squeeze them in with both hands to open further. This type of things I believe also passes code but I can't find a simple to install device like that. Would like the exact same as the upstairs as it's very clean looking. I'll ask my builder for more detail on what he's seen before next time he's out. In the gunite queue for now...
  3. 2014 is the only other time I've missed the game in the last 25 years and I did the recipe TonyTexas posted above I'm pretty sure. They turned out pretty good as I recall but I also re-created the fair experience by starting drinking at 7am and fried them up just before kickoff at 10:45 or so. I might try Mitch's recipe this year.
  4. Anybody got product recommendations for getting the house door and windows to code for inspection (I'm in Austin)? Door alarms seem pretty easy to find, but I have 11 windows that need something. I was told window stops are ok but need to be ASTM F2090 compliant and not finding any simple/inexpensive solutions that state that.
  5. 7' diameter with 5 jets for me.
  6. That grey layer of rock that runs all around is what took so long to drill through on our excavation.
  7. Builder says he has a new Shotcrete contractor and wants to know if I want that instead of Gunite as it won't have a 5 week wait time. Pros/cons? Is shotcrete used around here much?
  8. Thanks, good info...will ask about skimmer. I'll have to battle the leaves, but that close tree is not much of a leaf dropper. That big fucker in back is another story.
  9. Here's our drawing and progress after 4 days of drilling/digging. Have an easement that provides a hard boundary on top of drawing and a tree we didn't want to cut down so the design kind of wraps around that tree with the spa being closest to the existing covered patio. The depths are the circled numbers. My youngest is 13 so we have 3'6" to step in and get to 4'3" and 4'6" as fast as possible which is pretty much shoulder height for wife/daughters. Then just about 10' of 5'6" for a "deep end".
  10. It's worded as % of total hospitalized so 94/2549 or 3.7%. But that would mean if we hover around 2600 total hospitalized, then 15% would allow up to 390 COVID paintents, which July type numbers. I'm glad we're looking at hospital metrics instead of some stupid number of cases or % positive. Just trying to gauge where we have been on this metric. Seems like June/August numbers are ok and July is not.
  11. I know Austin/Travis reports total COVID hospitalizations and COVID new hospital admits. Anybody know where the % of total hospitalizations for COVID is reported since that is the metric cited?
  12. Queso and carnitas naoch
  13. Oh come on, those big companies just write it off.
  14. I don't think it's that wide spread of an outage but definitely SW Austin. No school for kids today. I had to go to the office.
  15. That's pretty nice. I'm about 5-6 weeks ahead of you in the process. Should start next week. Our guy is old-school hand drawn only so we didn't get any cool pictures. I wouldn't spend on the all flag-stone (we're doing coping only and concrete) but that's a personal preference and/or budget thing. I agree with the others that all the bench seating isn't needed since you already have a few prime seating areas with the stools and even the sun deck. Looking forward to joining this thread as a pool owner! Oh, and I sure hope they are worth it...
  16. When my grandpa played dominoes, everybody else at the table would eventually be called a Scheißter.
  17. Well, shit. That settles the cheese debate. I didn’t know that product existed but when seeing this post I just thought “of course it does”.
  18. Just because I looked it up and found it interesting...

  19. Both usernames check out
  20. Turn up the heat. I’m guessing it wasn’t actually 225 at the brisket. If you watched the Franklin videos, you know he likes 275F.
  21. Man, my seats are right where that big box is in that picture. Going to be weird having that right there.
  22. Cacio e Pepe
  23. Don’t like the price in stores, but damn it’s always good.
