-GoBengals- Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Softspring "envious II" carpet from Home Depot color: tinsnip I think #34 is color number. Did the scotch guard thick as fuck double moisture barrier pad as recommended with that carpet. That carpet is so damn soft. I can't wait. Looks like it's a special order so it will be two weeks before its in. So looking at end of month for install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Black widows can kiss my ass. I faking hate spiders. Going through pile of crap in garage. Black widows everywhere. That's black widows 101 though. Piles of shit in garage is black widow dream scape. Just the fucking worst. *shivers* Also apparently a large wasp was in there. I also dislike bees and wasps. Never been stung ever. So it's a stupid fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Numbers| Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Looks like closed loop sculpted carpet. May just be shading. Nice color. I have regular closed loop with a darker brown color spectrum ( multiple browns in other words ) on a regular pee padding not the extra thick stuff. Nice job. I can only look at this thread while the wife is out of the room NSFW actually means not safe for wife... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've been stung one time by a bee, so I don't understand why they scare the shit out of me. I get woke up by nightmares, because I dream that there's a bee under the covers. It's weird. I also hate spiders. You can imagine how I feel when I schedule a home inspection, and find out there's a crawlspace for me to crawl through...

|Numbers| Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 all doors are officially painted.... gonna spend some time cleaning out the garage some more.... When you're done cleaning your garage, you can start on mine. I have a very large garage, it gets bigger every time I tell the story... It currently can not fit a single car in it. I also have a house full of estate gathered items that would be considered antiques and or precious memories. Looks like the garage room / workshop is on hold again. All I need you to do is temporarily move it all outside, including the 1956 John Deere tractor ( which consumes a lot of space ) , and move it back in again once the room is done. I pay in beers or bourbon by the hour. Contact me with contract details... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the mechanical aptitude of a bowl of Jell-O makes it incredibly alluring. :biglaugh: Well, that and not having to pay for shit when it breaks.

And you would not believe the amount of time it takes to just start to get ID theft cleaned up... :glare: I think, since 2005, the only true "breaks" I've had in a home is my AC went out, cost $300 to repair, and the igniter on my furnace went out, and cost me $200 to fix. Obviously, it helps that the homes I've owned in that time were built in 2005, and my newest house was built in 2007, but still... I sold my old house to a large corporation (American Homes 4 Rent) that rents homes to people, and the rent they are charging is $400 more than my mortgage payment was.

That roof will need replaced eventually. As will the water heater, the AC, the furnace, etc. It may not have "broken" yet, but it's coming...

Putting a water sensor is a start. Make sure the water sensor can go off even with a power outage. IE... backup battery. One step better would be a battery backup sump pump which usually have an alarm on them. However, the best option is to just get a natural gas powered whole home backup generator. We explored all options ( a few years back ) for my parents and settled on the generator. Don't know if it increases home value but it would be a nice feature that homeowners would certainly never frown on to my knowledge. Just be thankful you did not build over an old Indian cemetery. I don't have any answers for that other than.... MOVE. :telephone: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-GoBengals- Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 i am growing to hate this project...haha... the final stages of finish work are very demoralizing.. put up the sliding doors for the hallway closet.... and one side at the bottom, the drywall curves out/stick out about an inch, its gradual you cant tell by looking at it, but with the closet door slid closed... there is an inch gap at the top, other side is 100% straight... after many fix considerations, looking online, etc.. its common, and trimming the door in the same shape is the best fix.. so we cut the door.. then had to sand it and repaint it... a 30 second project turned into 5 hours of work and created a huge fucking mess all over...
