shame on an IGA posted:You mean without a moon roof right? Because there is no faster way to cool a sunbaked hothouse car down to ambient than opening the chimney and windows at the same time.

From what I understand the difference used to be that sunroofs are just the glass panel you can crack open, but not slide open. Moonroofs slide open, and have the panel that can slide in to block the sun. Now days I think they are all the same and used interchangably.

Bonster posted:I almost bought an entertainment center with barn doors back before I realized how trendy they were. Glad I didn't - I went with a much plainer solid oak one that will still look good as a credenza when all entertainment is through chips implanted in our brains. I was just shopping for one recently, and it was so hard to find something decent that didn't have either a barn door or an electric insert fireplace. Luckily we found something we liked, and it was a great deal since it wasn't currently en vogue.

Devor posted:Went to an open house that had a slate roof. The seller's realtor said that they had spend $75,000 to replace the roof 5 years ago. I know it's fairly typical to mention big ticket repairs that were recently done so you know you're getting all that benefit without spending more money - but Jesus Christ that number is terrifying. We just replaced our roof this spring with 30 year asphalt shingles for just under $5k. Looks like we'd only need to live in this house for 450 years to equal the cost of that slate roof.

A guy in my city murdered his wife last year by blowing up his house, but he hosed it up and managed to kill himself too. It was a big enough explosion we felt and heard it miles away at our place. He also had a healthy stockpile of ammo stored there, so it was a nightmare to contain. https://journalstar.com/news/local/...3322d10d.html#3 Enos Cabell fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Nov 5, 2018 |

The penis is not a precision instrument. I had a friend in HS that had carpeted bathrooms, and his mom had signs up in them telling guests that standing up to pee was strictly forbidden and all men had to take a seat. She was always super suspicious of his friends when we came over (with good reason).

Is there an electrical outlet in that area? One side of that will be along a wall stud, then you can measure 16" over and tap a little test nail to find another.

I guess I never really stopped to think about it, but the bathrooms in my house are the only places that have no form of media playback at all. Even my garage has a tv w/ a fire stick hooked up. Bathroom I'm either reading a book on the toilet or zoning out to water sounds and birds chirping outside while showering.

I picked up a few of these leaf chutes and a couple pairs of these hand scoop things and they make short work of our leaves. We rake about 30 bags worth every fall, and these tools cut the time in at least half. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leaf-Easy-Plastic-Leaf-and-Lawn-Chute-LELLCP/202491987 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bully-Tools-12-5-in-Poly-Leaf-Scoop-1000/301266771

While house shopping ten years ago we looked at an exceedingly well built house in a nice neighborhood that had carpet EVERYWHERE. And by everywhere I mean not only wall to wall in every room including the orange kitchen and lime green bathrooms, but it was even on the ceiling in several rooms. Bedrooms and living room had these large, like 2'x6' wood framed panels of carpet up on the ceilings. Also the owner was murdered by her adult son inside the home. Our asking-price offer was not accepted, and we decided not to get in a bidding war over the carpet murder house.
