  1. I wonder what cr's members to "fun cars" ratio is. Dailys not included if its just a plain daily.
  2. I assumed a documentary style movie.
  3. Bump? I am waiting my questions answered and possible purchase.
  4. J and j auto upholstery. I have first hand knowledge of their work.
  5. I always forget about these things.
  6. Sam can speak more on this than me. But you can minimize cracking concrete with the proper prep work and application. You need to have the proper thickness(usually 4-5"), Proper mix(not usually an issue), by making sure the ground is compacted to prevent sinking, proper grading to prevent water freezing below the slab and erosion from rain, by utilizing mesh wire within the slab, by utilizing proper control/expansion joints. All of which can be done by hiring a professional. I would say the cheapest method is a deck, then concrete, and finally a stone/paver patio. Although you can save on the concrete and bring it back closer to a deck price by doing the work yourself. Keep in mind some specialty equipment will need to be rented with almost all of these option if you choose to do any of these projects yourself. I am available to assist with any if you need it. I have experience with all of them but not an expert. There is a guy on here who does stnework for a living, and I think eric(24/7) and maybe sam do as well. And of course you ave sam for all the concrete needs. Sounds like you need to pick what you think looks best. Most people go with what they can afford but it doesnt sound like that will be your determining factor. Also in todays uncertain market, do upgrades in which you will see a return on your investment. Thats what homes are essentially. You would never see a huge return on a $20k patio as much as a $1500 deck. Concrete is the least maintenance unless you use a composite decking in which I would say is comparable to concrete. A stone one would require some mainyenance overtime. I have seen even the best layed ones have weeds shift pavers and lose sand compaction due to rain.
  7. Nice project and I like the pics along the way. Especially the ones dated that havent happened yet LOL.
  8. Take it from me, if your going to go with a deck, use composite material. Our deck is solid wood and between the dogs and the kids I restain it every year. Our deck was at one point 4 tier and now is only 3 tier. I will be replacing my deck which is large with top of the line composite decking from my dads company hopefully next year.
  9. You can go to lowes or home depot and they can generate a price and material list based on what you want.
  10. Shutters wont affect the replacing of windows and can really break up the plainness of the house. I also have wires on the outside which is taken care of with painting them the same color as the house, pulling them taunt and smartly using shrubery. You really can do a nice job with that space for $100+ bucks man.
  11. You know, I knew I was typing the wrong name as I was typing it but I was focusing on this tv show and just didnt catch it.
  12. With whats there and $100 you culd really make that a nice space with whats there. You could outline a nice curved flower bed and built up with dirt and mulch. Small shrubery which is on sale this time of year will go along way. As a previous home flipper for hire, in my opinion if your budget was tight this would be the way I would go, and urge you to look at the potential of whats there. Whats there could be turned into the focal point of the whole house.
  13. Looks like theres alot going on there. Unfortunately its a smaller home which can be played up with a more grander outdoor space. One thing I would look into and it may sound weird is putting shutters on the rear windows. Go with a darker color. Its to bad the a/c unit is so profound looking and I would make whatever attempt possible to minimize its appearance. The utilities as well seem to be an eyesore which I personally would hide with shrubery. I think you certainly will get more bang for your buck with a wooden deck and accented nicely with plantings. Definately less is more when it comes to accenting a smaller home.
  14. I am not lookng at the trailer to be a direct reflection of what the movie will be like. You can sort of tell its not going to be that kind of film and although I have expectations of enjoying the movie, I wont be surprised if I dont.
  15. In that cannanball run video when the diablo was behind the cop car, its hard to believe the diablo is that small.
  16. I have a huge deck and although I like decks, I would prefer to have a stone patio. With that being said. I think a patio doesnt go with every style of house. With what you have there, I would really get ideas from an experienced designer if you go with concrete or stone. It would be easier to get a nice deck to look good vs. a concrete/paver one in my opinion and hat is soley based on the design of the rear of your home. I know a few people that really wish they would have computer generated their work to get a better idea of the finished product because once it was done it really looked like shit with their house. Although the work was good, it just didnt fit.
  17. Interesting civic with the rat rod old school luggage thing going.
  18. I am getting a ton of offers for fox body'ed mustangs. Debating wether or not I should trade. Heres the latest. Whatcha think? http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1316670269.html
  19. Looks like I can take my own as long as there printed on picture paper and 2 inch by 2 inch size.
  20. They should have given you a memorandum title. I assume the guy is paying off his loan with yours? Since he didnt have the title. http://bmv.ohio.gov/vehicle_registration/mv_registration.htm What did you get?
  21. What was the customers reason for the work? Towing, performance?
  22. The post office here in the burg does the passport process. If I dont want to pay $15 for them to take a pic, I can just take my own and bring it with me? Whats the requirements for the pic?
