  1. Diagnosed with a pretty severely herniated disc in the lower lumbar region. I have severe sciatic pain in ass running all the way down leg to foot. Medrol pack followed by 5 days of prednisone did absolutely nothing for the pain, it actually got worse. Finally got my mri and appt with ortho spine surgeon. Have referral to physica therapy and pain doc while they are working with my insurance to approve/schedule laminectomy. Couple of questions for those who have been through this. Surgeon gave me gabapentin and that has significantly reduced my pain level. Should I even bother with physical therapy and pain doc and just hold out for the surgery? Not to mention I am scared shitless of needles and pain doc administering one to my spine is a fuck no. It is my understanding that physical therapy isn’t gonna make this herniation go away. It just might help mitigate the pain and make life bearable. Is this right? If so, what’s the point of it, just give me the knife and fix it. Right? Is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the spine the correct doc for this, or should I be talking to a neurosurgeon? I’ve had someone suggest this to me. Probably some other questions I can’t think of right now. Anyone else done this surgery with success would be nice to hear.
  2. This may have already been covered, but is it possible to get an older wakeboard boat set up with a good enough wave to wakesurf on. My kids are starting to bug me about it and the I/o chaparral and the tubes aren’t cutting it for them anymore. I’d rather not spen 100k on a new one, fucking ridiculous. If answer is yes, what are some boats I should be looking for? Anyone interested in a well cared for 09 chaparral 210ssi?
  3. The old fixtures were very simple and I just swapped out the bulbs for 3 watt 120volt led bulbs instead of the 50 watt 120volt halogens they once had. The new fixtures each have their own transformer attached and step the voltage down to 12 volts. My choice for those fixtures is either a 50watt 12volt halogen or a 6watt 12volt led.
  4. I’m considering some track light fixtures. It’s regular h type line voltage track. The current fixtures have all been replaced with 120v 3watt led lights. The new fixtures I’m looking at are low voltage fixtures that each have a transformer that steps line voltage down to 12v. The bulbs in the new fixtures can be changed to 12v led. My question regards the new fixture and its transformer. Would the lower voltage lights with transformer use same 3 watts of electricity if led bulbs were used, or is the energy usage also have something to do with the transformer?
  5. Commercial lease question. Texas. Retail space. Tenant installed track lighting. Do the track fixtures have to stay upon termination, or just the track? Track is affixed with screws and hardwired in. Fixtures are just snapped in to track and can be easily moved/removed. Thanks

  7. Did electrician pull the breakers off and check panel bus bar? I’ve seen a couple panels where bus bar overheated for some reason and damged the breakers. Once the breakers heat too much, the contact point gets loose and problem slowly gets worse. I suspect you need a new panel. If you have a main to turn off power to the panel, it is very easy to pull the breakers off and inspect yourself. Don’t attempt if you don’t know how to kill power to your panel.
  8. There was a good all things landlord thread on the old board. I have one house that I rent on traditional monthly schedule and it s working out very well for past 5 years. I am considering purchasing a property with 3 existing 1bd/1ba units. I believe the property location is prime for making these vacation rentals. How would you go about running some hypothetical numbers/scenarios on the idea to get an idea of return before pulling the trigger? Anyone do vacation rentals as an investment?
  9. My offer was significantly below appraised value and seller agreed to the offer in large part because he won’t have to go through trouble of listing with an agent and paying the 6% commission. This land abuts property I already own and I want it badly. Appreciate the advice.
  10. Always had a realtor to walk me through the process. Made an offer and owner accepted. Financing is not a problem. Do we just make appointment and walk into a title office together and deal gets done?
  11. Third the viair. I have on board system for train horn and suspension. Have an outlet for hooking air hose when needed. Been going strong for four years.

  13. a slow death is weak shit, you’ll be fine. The hypothetical raping of your mother is where shit starts to get questionable and someone may get banned.
  14. Fuck it then, I don’t care. This whole goddamn mess pisses me off. You fucks seem happy here on this shiathole, fine. I think it sucks donley balls. I’m a going to go make another drink.
  15. Do we have them?
