  1. Thanks for the responses. It sounds like there aren’t any big cons that would prevent us from moving away from U-verse. I was concerned that if we moved and didn’t like it, we couldn’t get back to UVerse since they aren’t taking new customers. The big plus I am really looking forward to is the ability to stream it on the smart TVs in the garage (my gym) and the back porch next to the pool. Thanks all. I think we are going to make the move. Gotta call AT&T and cancel the UVerse. This oughta be fun.
  2. My new-ish neighborhood only offers U-verse and Suddenlink. AT&T isn’t perfect but it has LHN and AT&T SportsNet for Astros games. I went to change plans and the only way to do that is to call AT&T. Fuck that. Before I call to discuss a damn thing, I want to know what the options are. It looks like they are shifting to DIRECTV Stream. It still has LHN and ATTSN. Anyone use it already? Any issues I should know about.
  3. That sounds frustrating. I assume you chose your builder off the rec of someone you know. Did they have the same issue? I don’t have a rec for people that pick up unfinished projects but I can tell you I got very inpatient at times as the weather warmed. The communication was largely nonexistent during my install. Prior to the start I might get a communication every 10 days or so as we finalized the design and signed the contract. Once the digging started, I didn’t get much communication at all. Some days there would be work. Some days not. The latest example was the stone work for the coping. there would be days without anyone showing up, then three days in a row of good work, then nothing for a few days. It felt odd not to get an explanation but I imagine the pool company is working multiple projects and using teams that have busy schedules. Throw in supply deliveries and equipment delivery, I just went with it. Good luck.
  4. Here was our final quote. Our contract in pflugerville for 15x28’ pool going from 3-6’ deep with spa and adding some deck. Contract total was $83 k Our quotes ranged from $83 to $110k for essentially the same pool.
  5. Thanks for noticing. They did trench a little along the edge but going forward it may need to be lowered.
  6. And the water goes in. Sundek scheduled for Monday.
  7. Isn’t that formerly STI? Great guns those guys.
  8. I was hoping to be swimming by the time we hit 100 degrees. I wasn’t expecting 100 to hit in early May so I won’t hold that against the builder. Our Coping is almost done and the rebar is in place for the patio extension. It seems like we are getting very close.
  9. I dunno. I don’t travel often so my meter of what to avoid isn’t great. Guinness storehouse tour was good. The museum of Modern art right down the road was closed on Monday. There are a lot of castles, don’t feel like you have to drive clear across the island to see Blarney. It’s a castle. The back roads are narrow. If you rent a car, get the insurance. We bussed into Dublin from where we stayed instead of driving. So we don’t have to worry about driving/parking in the city which was fine but we spent a lot of time in cold windy weather waiting for the return bus home. If I had to do it over again, I’d probably drive. Other than that, i don’t have strong recs one way or another. Enjoy.
  10. Maybe they’ll all have to move to Nw Arkansas.
  11. More progress.
  12. More progress.
  13. We are staying in Roscrea (middle of the island) this week. It’s our first time here. We have driven to all the common places. These roads are narrow and I’ve white knuckled a lot of the back roads. Thankfully there isn’t a lot of traffic. Birr Castle Cliffs of Moher Guineas Storehouse tour We also did Blarney. Limmerick tomorrow.
  14. We’ve been given a shopping list. Time to go check out show rooms to see what sundek, waterline tile, and quartzscape we are going with. Fun.
  15. Hmmm. First, post here and be ready to get Best Buy Cupins. Perhaps reviewing gunbroker listings to see what similar items sold for might help give you an idea. Maybe then either go to a gun show and sit in the lot selling to those as they come out without having bought any of the overpriced crap inside. Or list on Texas Gun Trader. One. At. A. Time. Or just straight gunbroker all you intend to sell and let the market dictate the value. It’s not an easy path to maximize profits. If you have the time sell slowly and research each item before pricing.
  16. I have paint. Next week I should have a hole. Baby steps.
  17. It’s pretty tough. I’ve had one for a while and it didn’t show much wear. After a couple years I went back to a G-SHOCK and gave up tracking steps. My original reason for getting one was for occasional rhythm checks. I didn’t use that feature as much as I thought.
  18. My wife and her parents had a good time.
  19. We were there ‘85-‘97 I think.
  20. Fuckity fuck fuck. Get ‘em tomorrow men.
