teaman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 My daughter and I just went out looking at a few Open Houses. We have an itch to move and want a larger lot if not acreage. After looking at three we came home disappointed. I will never understand how people list their homes for sale with small imperfections that they could fix in an afternoon. Why not fix it and give potential buyers nothing to complain about... Rant over....hahaha 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck must know by now she may "happen across" this forum from time to time, as does my wife. She's a smart girl, making sure we keep him in line and dialed in on coffee and speakers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Evening Gang Just up from the four hour rest. Amazing, every time i get up, a little less pain.

teaman Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Back home from Five Guys Burgers for dinner. Yum, their fries are addictive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Five Guys utilizes the pre-fry technique. They cook the fries about 1/2 way before they are needed. Then cooked again just before serving. Yes, I'm a plethora of useless information. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 I likes 5 Guys burgers and fries. Been on a burger quest leading me to other places for gourmet burgers. One had pulled pork and fried pickles on top of the burger.....one had mac and cheese. Won some Heresy ll's on the bay about an hour ago. Sniped them at 12 seconds left.....love doing that. Local of all places. No shipping Suppose to have some scratches on the sides from a bad house cat....we will see. Toe'em in right and she won't notice. Got to hide them till 9-3.....give me time to clean them up good. What's good to oil the wood with? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I checked them out on eBay. Congratulations. They look pretty good. They'll clean up nicely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Good Monday morning my friends.... Looks like lots going on here.............nice speaker winning Chuck, and glad you got to enjoy a dinner in the 'new' LF's home! Mark, let us know how that combo sounds once you get it installed. Kitchen upgrades: we have been going at it slowly, mostly a conversion to gas from electric as you all know, range and fridge matching. Now, new paint and colors to come, and a new range hood in gloss black to match the range on the way. Can't seem to find a contractor to duct it to the outside! Up through cabinets, into attic, across dining room rafters, side wall exit over garage. Guess I will have to wait until fall when attic temps are better for workers...... On Five Guys.......They actually sold me a veggie burg, which consisted of all the fixin's without the meat. The fries are cooked in peanut oil and usually served in HUGE amounts! (in take out orders, the paper container is totally submerged under the fries!) OK, back to the grind after a three night concert performance schedule for the band..... and time to begin getting ready for our annual vacation trip to my dad's down in Chuck's state (N.C.) Have a good day everyone. .................Gary 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Good Monday morning Gang. Worker Bee's to the front lines. Minimal work thru wed, see what the Doc say's about increasing retirement load. Projects stacked throughout the homestead. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All original kitchen from 1962 (except the stove and fridge). Labor is sitting at $14k due to the work involved. Original owner at some point put in carpet. We're probably just going to bite the bullet and get it done. If I did it myself it would take a good six months. Took me 8 months to do my bathroom. Weekends and nights don't give you much work time especially when you consider everything else in your life that goes on. We had the luxury of having another 1 and a half bathrooms to use during the renovation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Good morning all. The rain continues today. This is not normal for August in San Antonio. Usually by now, we are in 100+ temps and stage II water rationing. Right now we are in the 80's and the aquifer is going up almost a foot a day. I'm not complaining. It is a nice change. Still it is keeping me from picking up the Baltic birch for my Cornwall III build. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife is up telling me to give the "Mouse" a rest, being on light duty, mouse seems to be effortless and my best friend. Coffee flowin, third cup and energy level is norm, Bay shopping continuing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
