Are you leaving the big doomsday project?
left my beer glass outside last night and we got some major thunderstorm during the night. Glass had about an inch and a half of rain in it. It was long overdue.
no me gusta. at least i only have a hundred unread emails.
Maybe its just the fact that I've been away for the past 6 years, but we've been getting what feels like a lot of rain this summer, certainly more than I remember.
Appears normal, other than the door being crooked and the deadbolt plate recess looking like it was chewed out by a wolverine.finally had the basement fixed from the termite damage. they absolutely DESTROYED the sill of my house. Amazing what the little shits can do. Opted to re-do the bulkhead and door while they were at it, but I'm not really impressed with the install of the door. Is this ok? any builder bros @dan-o @stoney ? It's the basement so I'm unconcerned with its looks, but the deadbolt just kind of sits there in space and doesn't seem very secure. The door doesn't budge when it's locked and you pull or push on it, but the crooked threshold and deadbolt hanging in space has me weirded out. If it's secure and normal as it is then I'm fine with it, but if they did a shit job then I want to let the head guy know before it's too late.
Do you have a table saw? You can rip a board to the right size to fill the space properly. That's more of a question for dan-o, @johnbryanpeters , or @Jozz . I've never done a door frame before, so I've never had to learn that process. It's on my to-do list with getting rid of a slider though.finally had the basement fixed from the termite damage. they absolutely DESTROYED the sill of my house. Amazing what the little shits can do.

They didn't trim it because the insulation was still wet and it was the basement...that's what he told me. I didn't mind because the basement is unfinished and if we ever finished it, that would be part of the job, but it's just going to get damaged by bike handlebars coming in and out. I just want to make sure it's a quality job and not left half way...but you're right, the trim would be nice.
look like a pretty average job. If door closes ok with regular gap all around it's fine. For the deadbolt, remove one of the screw to make sure it's a long screw that attach to the stud not just the door frame.finally had the basement fixed from the termite damage. they absolutely DESTROYED the sill of my house.

It's a dry heat. Suck it up princess.
Still avoiding that AC? When we went to bed the main floor was 74 degrees despite the AC! Thankfully it caught up during the night.
You pansy.
Why do you have America and capitalism? Xcel needs your moneys
What do you set your ac at?
Overnight usually at 70 as assessed by the thermostat on the main floor.
Tell me again about your snowplow truck, uncleI think it was 67 freedums downstairs when I went to bed last night, I think upstairs was 74
The joys of not living on the plains of Kansas
ours is usually @76 in the summer
your own place or one of your jobs?
Our place.
woof. i was at my parents place for a week through this past sunday, their AC died the day we arrived and most of the time we were there it was in the 90's. we would've bailed a lot sooner if they didn't have a pool.
When I'm supposed to be working I sometimes go cruise around our neighborhood Mr Plow style for an hourTell me again about your snowplow truck, uncle
