Seen it tonight. I really enjoyed it.

Derek sold my used tires:p

Sucks man, sorry to hear especially this time of year. Remember all the good times you've had and know that you most likely have given him a good fullfilling life.

Thanks guys.

I thought working in your dads car body shop was your profession?

We bought tmobile prpay sim cards for $5 from their store. We went to 2 stores before we found someone who realized they actually sold just the prepaid sim card.

I dont see any +rep?

Prepaid pnones are dirt cheap all over like walmart and the like. Something like $10.

Yes thats typically how the realtors are both paid. Seller pays both realtors/they split the fee based on selling price.

If we get a realtor, who pays them? Do we? The seller? etc Usually split between realtors from sale. Your realtors rate can be negotiated if realtor is willing. Do you really need a buying realtor? Dont have to but they do have additional resources and experience. How long does the average closing take? We closed on our first home in 24hrs, however we were pre approved and I inspected my own home. What downpayment do most lenders require? The last time I checked, 3.5% was what we were seeing. Depends on lender, we payed zero. What would you guys do differently if you could buy your first house again? I would have forseen the future and bought now when houses are cheaper If you bought a condo for your first place, do you regret it? would you do it again? I have a few friends who did and all regretted doing so. Any other first time home buying comments you have would be great. Just trying to get people's input so we can make the best decision. Use a good inspector and ask questions. Ask him how old and in what condition major items such as windows, the roof, hvac unit are in and how long til they need replaced.

Well since your stating your not sure instead of claiming you know the accident caused additional damage leads me to believe your not nor have any intentions in committing fraud. You are the victim and entitled to compensation or at least peace of mind that the accident didnt cause additional damage. I would tell the insurance company that you think something else may have been damaged do to the relations of the accident coinciding with the noise. Have it checked out and tell the place who inspects it what happened and see if they find tale tell signs of damage directed from the accident. If they do find damage they can explain it to the insurance company in terms of why they feel the damage was caused by the accident. If they find nothing, well no harm no foul. At least then you know instead of kicking yourself down the road. Trust me, I know it doesnt feel like your the victem necessarily, but you are and that entitles you to things. If nothing else, peace of mind.

I had a few tag heuer watches as of recent but had to sell to pay bills. I also had a rolex that I bought on a whim. I wish I still had that. Never heard of what your asking about.

I love you for this. A boss actually being a boss, what a concept. I agree its best to learn the lesson now.

If you do acid wash the concrete you are best to follow these steps. Add acid at a ratio of 1 to 3. Always always always add the acid to the water. Spray or spread out the mix to the surface and what you want to see is bubbling. If theres is no bubbling then the concrete has a good sealant on it and is preventing the acid from working(mechanical means are used to remove sealant). If bubbles are present, use a stiff brush to work into concrete. Allow to sit up to 15 mins then netralize area with either ammonia or baking soda and water. Rinse repeatedly and allow to dry before painting or resealing. A fan circulating air can help with dry time.

18" rollers is the standard for professionals. They have been out for years and up until recently could only be found in true paint stores and online. However home depots and places of the like now carry them. It looks about 2' long but in actuality they are 18". If he has something bigger I would bve surprised because the only company I have seen make anything larger was at a tradeshow in arizona and it was a gimmick.

Although I have actually seen a 36" roller cover, it was a gimmick and I have never seen anyone actually use one. I typically use 18" rollers and this is the weapon of choice for most professional painters. And I have seen these wear guys out who use them everyday. But you cant beat them when it comes to speed. Acid washing is toxic so ventilate the best you can and make sure to not allow it to hit anything glass or metal. Always wear a respirator with appropriate filters when dealing with the acid and the mold. I wouldnt spray. You could have it done by the time you set up the sprayer, spray, clean out and then add mineral spirits to the sprayer to keep the seals from drying out. The shiny parts of the floor are probably whats still left of the floor from the original concrete sealant applied when the concrete was brand new. Mildex is an additive which can be added to almost any paint. Some paints come with it added typically kitchen and bath paints. Remember mold/mildew is a living organism and needs to be killed thoroughly or it will continue to live and grow. Like I said in the pm, to help prevent reoccurance, you should either have the foundation excavated and a rubber membrane applied(older homes did not have this typically) however this is costly, or regrade the exterior of the house so water flows away from the foundation. Clear gutters, inspect drains for blockages and make sure drain tiles havent caved in which is typical over time.

Did you try to remove battery for 10 mins?

A sprayer wont do any good on block which has not been rolled before. It is true that if the paint is sprayed it may make it easier to backroll which is the process of rolling the paint on after spraying which a block surface needs. Now with basement walls, you have 1 chance to seal the block with a product like drylok. If you choose not to do it and use paint, the opportunity is lost. Just something to consider. There are also block filler paints out there which do make it a little easier to work into block. Block which has never been painted is best done with a very thick nap roller 1"+, and dont try to skimp on the quality. A cheap roller will be destroyed alot faster than a good one due to the roughness of the block. Painted block for the first time is never fun and alot of people are surprised on the amount of time and material it takes. An average gallon of paint is good for something like 350 sq ft but that goes out the door when it comes to block. Also the natural effervescants(sp) in the block(depending on age) will cause cheap or inappropriate paint to peel either quickly or overtime. Now a floor surface should have a good quality floor enamel or epoxy. The bast way to ensure this sticks is to do a moisture test first which involves taping plastic to the floor and checking it over a period of days to see if water collects under the plastic. If it does you have moisture issues and paint may not sttick. Next acid wash the floor prior to painting. Its easy but the smell may be a bit rough for a few hrs so make sure the family is gone and you have a mask on. Of course these are methods for proper procedures and are just to give the op something to consider.

I always find the best selection at wirthmans.
