  1. Sounds like a great product if the price falls in-line with ipe. I doubt it will be used in general residential framing because of price and because soft woods are easier to cut, frame and nail.
  2. I'll be interested to hear what the expert says when he visits. I met a guy online who is a premiere installer for Arctic Hydronic Heating and his company is about an hour and a half away in Missoula. Arctic systems both heat and cool but their heat pump stops working at -22 degrees. The house has electric baseboard heaters currently, and he may recommend keeping them as a backup. Also, since we are gutting so much of the house, he may recommend ceiling or walls over floors due to some benefits when cooling - I just don't know. Also, I will want to install an ERV system since they are generally recommended and we have radon levels which are within limits but still pretty high. For the basement apartment, I bet he recommends a minisplit down there rather than using radiant heat. As far as warmboards go, we won't be using it as a subfloor but they and some other manufacturers have systems that sit above an existing subfloor. So, we will end up going with one of those systems. I know we aren't going to pour gypcrete for a bunch of reasons.
  3. If you were, you confused me with "You're family whether you like it or not". That, my friend, is not a good fuck buddy. Unless she has hot, younger sisters.
  4. He was talking about fucking.
  5. Sounds good. I got my advice from a master pool builder. It has worked for me over the years, but I probably got lucky and just had nearly black chimeric algae.
  6. They have had recent success and there is some good talent in nearby states such as Virginia and North Carolina that is underrecruited, South Carolina also has lots of talent and they can still get a few out of Georgia next door (which is not under-recruited).
  7. Good to know. That makes things much simpler. There is some great looking wood-look tile but it costs probably $8-$10/sft to lay down and if you ever want to change it, it gets real expensive.
  8. I’m going to be gutting a small home over the next year. This coming month, we are going to be redoing the deck and installing concrete. Meanwhile, I’ll hire someone to put in hydronic radiant heating and cooling. After that, I’ll probably demo over a weekend and purchase cabinets and a monostringer staircase and a zero clearance wood burning fireplace. While waiting on that stuff, I’ll probably hire a Native American friend and his wife to help me frame. He is an electrician as well, so I’ll probably just have to worry about plumbing and there isn’t a lot of that downstairs. Then we will install flooring - I’m not sure what I’ll put in - Some of it depends on if the radiant heat is in the ceiling or the floors. If ceiling then I can install LVP which is easy. The only concern is if ashes fall on the LVP as I don’t know how it would hold up. Alternatively, I could install tile, but that would probably be expensive because it is on a finished basement so we would have to keep the floors from flexing and because indoor tile jobs are better left for the professionals (I’ve done a lot of outdoor tiling, though). wish me luck
  9. Or, hear me out, we could cause a few Texas recruiting fan heart attacks and endless whining, let the 5 stars commit to Oregon and allow Georgia to feel good, and then at the last minute rip their hearts as we giggle in glee.
  10. Not true. Grab some 3" tabs of chlorine and rub the spots with it. It beaks up the film so the algaecide can get to it. Plus, of course, the chlorine itself kills it as well.
  11. I drove from Colorado Springs to Cheyenne a few weeks ago during rush hour and I killed 7 people on the way just to watch them die.
  12. Oh yeah, Denver traffic is swell.
  13. Anyone watching the game - some terrible calls
  14. Interesting. Trade a superstar to the Lakers for nothing and get the best young player in college.wonder if Don King was involved in the transactions
  15. This is in line with my thinking. But, currently I don't think it will come to that. After my wife got in touch with the lending agent, I am more confident that it will all work out. Now the lending agent is probably blowing smoke, but it seems like the situation isn't nearly as screwed up as her assistant made it out to be. It sounds like the underwriter has all the documents that she needs and can look at the reappraisal on Monday morning and approve funding that same day. We would have to do remote signing so that will delay funding for a day. I don't think anyone would care about that. Now, based on likely scenarios, if the lending agent's dad passes away this weekend, her assistant is pretty useless and things could go sideways quickly. Someone will have to follow-up with the underwriter to get the funding of the loan approved on Monday. And it is always possible that the underwriter wants more irrelevant documents. Different time zones make things difficult with the lending agent on ET, the bank on CT, and the property on MT. And we have no idea where we are signing since I am in Montana and the wife is in Texas so I assume we will be frantically trying to figure it out on Monday while we are at work. Still, I guess it is theoretically possible to get the funding approved Monday and sign late in the day on Monday for a Tuesday close date. That isn't usually how it works but it is a private bank with tailored mortgage loans for physicians so maybe they are more flexible.
  16. Mason Tharp - Klein/Texas Tech - is 6-9 270lbs. He is trying out with the Texans.
  17. We had a closing date with a mortgage lender set up for Monday. The lending agent has been non-responsive for several days and sent me an email at 5:00pm saying that her dad was in the ICU and she needed X documents from us. One document was sent a week ago, one was regarding a business that I sold 20 years ago, and one was regarding a reappraisal that was done for an exceedingly stupid reason. She says that the underwriter will look at the appraisal Monday morning. Uhh, that is our freaking closing date. How the hell does the lender know if the sellers are going to be cool changing the date and what are we going to have to offer to extend the date? Anyway, the question is whether there is any recourse against a lender? It seems like the answer is no because they haven't committed to anything yet since the underwriter hasn't signed off on the loan yet. We have movers coming on Monday and god knows where they are going to move our stuff to. It seems like the lending agent has fucked us over with promises only to miss the deadline and they haven't even given us a new closing date. All we have is a conditional approval which apparently means jack shit if the lending agent has other things to tend to and doesn't forward documents or contact her underwriting team. Maybe I wouldn't be so pissed if the lending agent didn't wait until after the last minute to tell us anything, leaving everyone not knowing what was going and not even providing a new closing date. 2 days ago if she would have told us that her dad was in the ICU and it was going to delay closing, then we could have easily said something to all parties and changed the date. Doing it at 5pm on Friday - that's bullshit.

  19. No, it was a reference to a crappy 70s movie. There were a few of them that came out around the same time. I was really young and I even thought at the time that they were pretty bad.
  20. He was a white boy who lived in the jungle who they filmed around 1973. Check that, he may have been found in Africa. Kind of confusing
