This is true. I had a garage break in with the dudes face, it was so grainy wouldn't tell shit, aside from the fact that he looked like he shit his pants..gave it to the cops, and that was the end of...

I don't know what the rules are...but in Ukraine, up until last week it was like 27-60 y.o I believe, now it's 25 because they need more people as many have died. Pretty sure majority of people on...

My current manager was a manager of a US region...where he was the only employee in the field. There are so many managers at my company who manage noone....but it's the title they get as they...

My sister just got in on this last year, yah it's free money if you have a disability. She put in like 3K or something, and they gave her 10k into this account. This year she has to put in some as...

I would disagree. I have a 3G camera with solar panel at my acreage, it's nice to know if contractors arrived on site, or what my house looks like in a snow storm when you are on the other side of...

I haven't, mostly because I was set on screwpile design. I did shot around for different Pole Barn type builders, but settled with Integrity Post Structures because it was the easiest process (which...

For completion, found an early picture of how my corners are done. Can see the rigid foam on the outside corners, helps with thermal conductivity in such a large open space.
...

This is the reason why I love doing this place myself. I think through everything before hand, and make sure that it's not a problem. If this was just a builder built home, they would jerry rig...

To give you an idea of costs, my initial quote was from Beyond Foam and it was $30k more than I got from my guy, and he is a solid hard worker. He has been there every single day since the spray...

Let me check with him today if he is okay to be contacted directly or not. I am using him via another contact, so he is a sub-contractor for an acquaintance of mine who works at a stucco company. If...

Here is some more new content for you.....got to keep it fresh

Guy will be there for a while still....lots to go.

Well the spray foam guy showed up yesterday, and to my surprise basically said that he has cleared his schedule for next two weeks to work on my house continuously. Yesterday he finished spraying the...

Double R Building Products. You go into their office, tell them what you want, and then drive into their yard and they load up your car with it. They do selection for you, so that's the only...

Yah, I will do measurements and records before they close it up. I was actually thinking of doing a 3D scan service, where they basically walk around with walls opened and you can "Google Street...

Just a small update on a few things I have been working on.

First thing first, I PASSED my framing and final gas inspections on Friday! Woot! Now nothing stand in my way until final inspections,...

Well yes and no. They never really ghosted me, they just didn't show up often, and always had excuses of being too busy to work on my shit.

My waterworks guy is the one who truly ghosted me. I'm...

The guy told me he was thinking of how to do this the night before as he was falling asleep haha. They are so busy that they couldn't come out to my place for some time, so when it was finally...

Well things have been happening in the backend, nothing to write home about, but the most important part, and the main holdup, is now out of the way! HVAC guys were out there on Friday and finished...

Not to beat a dead horse, but as others have mentioned, and many people in general are confused about, is the current. Voltage matters, current on the motor is the max it should draw, so you can give...

This basically sums it up. The cheaper the hotel, the higher the concentration of drunk Russians.

Actually, think the reason I didn't see the $34 plan any longer....was because despite the error I got last night, the change went through! I checked payments button and it showed that $34 plan will...

Eh, I got one account on $34 (at renewal next month) and another at the $40 75gb deal from week prior, so not too bad overall anyways. I don't even use much of my data, with dual sim all my data goes...

Think this is dead now. I changed mine yesterday middle of the day, but didn't get home until about 10PM, and when I tried to change my wife's account, it was no longer showing as an option. It's...

Ditto. Just switched to 40 a month for 75gb plan posted here, but set it up to switch to 50gb/$34 plan next renewal.

Hi Y'all,

I am back. Unfortunately during my time away....nothing was done, by anyone, which is very disappointing. I did have the HVAC guys out there on Friday of last week finally connecting the...

Thanks! Just switched wife and myself, just in time, my renewal is tomorrow. Was on the $34 40GB plan from Boxing Day, might as well get 75GB and USA as well for an extra $6 a month per line. Decent...

I have used Plumbing Paramedics when my tank started leaking at the top. They were able to come out on short order. My parents had almost exact same thing happen a few years later and fixed theirs as...

I didn't use them directly, but they are who my builder deals with, and that is where I went to pick out my doors that I wanted. No complaints.

So just got my revised assessment, went from $1,515,400 to $1,105,400. Think it's still overpriced for what I am into the project, and it's current state, but it's as good as I am going to get at...

Perhaps haha, I don't know, I never really had any problems with them. I can always call them and they pass me to a real person, and I have called a few times for safety codes officers with questions...

Indeed he is. My wife knew this fact and asked the staff there about him. Apparently he was born in Canada but move to Ireland or something at 2y.o, and then sometime later to Japan and been there...

Met with the assessor, super nice guy, he saw the interior or my home and answered all my questions, and said he will get back to me either later today or tomorrow with an updated assessment value,...

At Tower Knifes in Osaka. We did go to Kappabashi at the end during our last few days in Tokyo just to look around at kitchen gadgets, but we were mostly outside of that area, so we bought it earlier...

Picked up a new santoku knife while in Japan. Nothing crazy, Damascus steel, traditional handle. Wife chose it. Nothing crazy, but looks pretty cool. I know some people on here like this kind of...

So I called the county and spoke with an assessor. Told him I don't even have any services besides electricity. He seemed surprised. He arranged to come out and meet me on site tomorrow to take a...

Next year is fine, i will be living there, for now it's a glorified shed. I will call and inquire. Looking at one complete house nearby shows their assessment at 1.36mil. I mean I suspect mine would...

Rocky View. My buddy has an acreage out in Bragg Creek, huge finished house he has been living for a few years....his assessment is like 1.1Mil..but that's a fully built custom home...i don't even...

Hi All,

Got got my notice of assessment for my new place that I am building, and was pretty shocked.

Last year they had it assessed at just about $800k in the state it was in. The state hasn't...

Couple of problems with this. Very little selection. I am not looking at cheap dojo mats, but real authentic stuff. There is a company in montreal which wants $650 per mat, which will be pretty...

Hi All,

Currently in Japan and struggling with gathering some information. As some of you may know, I am planning on having a Japanese room in my new house that I am building, which will require...
