Ouch.
Instead of per room can you get two or three bigger units for "zone" cooling? That's what we have. The casa is divided into three zones and they each have their own AC and furnace.


hope you find someone, and someone good. why no central? and yah, building **** is a money pit, no doubt, but worth it in the end imo.


hmmm... yeah I don't know wh we don't have zone cooling, though I understand how centralized acu's won't work. gotta get to the bottom of this

A good excuse to cancel hasn't happened yet. Give it time. We've all got friends like this.


Truth. I can name a couple of them myself.

we're looking for another kitchen contractor, and no we don't do central air here. this house building gig is a ******* money pit, thats for sure.


Yep. I built once, and never again. However, some remodeling projects are also upsetting me.

listed a watch for work on ebay last night, and it was sold in a few hours. just got this email,
"Hi.
Apology for my mistake.
(...)


Funny, I came sooo close to pulling the trigger on an inexpensive shirt but stopped at the last second. It wasn't what I really wanted, and I knew the search would continue anyway, so why proceed? BTW: the RL oxford shirts I used to buy for $55 are now like $98. WTF inflation? I was so appalled by this. My wife laughed and reminded me that my current crop of RL oxfords predate our marriage.

"I was drunk and/or high and bought your watch, now I am less drunk and/or high and would like to not buy said watch."
Either that or they found a better price.


Both are likely. Or he wanted it but didn't Really Want it. (see above).

...

So, one issue I won't discuss but the other issue I will. Maybe I shouldn't. Well, let's just say that the world is a fucked-up place these days.

I find searching Craiglist for apartments or condos to lease a huge pain **********. It's hard to narrow down your search results, because many listing include incorrect or misleading keywords. If I had a dime for every listing I clicked on that turned out to not be anywhere close to the area of town I am focusing on, I would buy a few of those RL Oxfords Thomas likes. Plus the site is flooded with real estate agents who give you vague details on various properties so you are forced to contact them for even the most basic of information.

It's kind of funny. I've heard in MC about people who wear something for a few seasons and then it's worn out, and it leaves me :puzzled: I have a fair number of garments that passed the decade mark a while ago, and that's not even counting things I inherited.

...

Other news. I just got lied to by a colleague. It was the stupidest, laziest lie I'd ever heard and it took me about 5 minutes of legwork to determine the truth. I'm like - REALLY?

Never heard of padmapper. Will check it out. I'm assuming it used to be a better service?

Been going back and forth with agents all day on this over email. Ready to punch my screen. :fu:

Should be in the Happy thread. (Unless you're pissed because a benefactor used to buy them for you, but now you've been cut off.)
