I just did a bunch of remodeling since our villa turned 9 years ago, I guess about $18,000 worth in the past two months. In the kitchen I had bought a pro style faucet a dozen years ago on eBay because I got a great deal, $125 and I kept it all this time. I was going to do granite countertops but the budget couldn't afford it, and I found a sink that could support the faucet and keep my original counter tops. I got it at Home Depot for $399, it actually came with a pro-faucet, so I now I have an extra one which I'll keep and use for parts if I ever need them. It's 33" sink with no divider and you can do top mount or undermount.



We got rid of all the carpet and old flooring and had 6" wood planks installed, no more carpet anywhere, it's gets nasty after 9 years. For color we bought 4 area rugs from Amazon, they have great prices.





The Master Bath we had this horrible fiberglass shower enclosure with a glass door that everytime you opened it water got all over the floor. Now we new tile floors, new light, new toilet, new vanity and new countertops and shower made with Bella Stone. It's a man-made product they make locally and it's looks like quartz. No shower door this time, just a curtain.

Yea, peeps keep telling me I won't get my remodel money back on a sale. Bitch, I don't care. I'm living here now.

I've drank enough beer to fill a water tower, but mostly it was shitty stuff like Busch and Budweiser, and I never actually liked it; I just drank to get drunk or drank because I was at a bar and that's what I did. Drank like a fish during my high school years and then went in the Navy.

At this point, I rarely drink any sort of alcohol, but when I do drink beer, it's usually a good German wheat beer, like Hacker Pschorr or Franziskaner. I don't mind Michelob, but regular Michelob is impossible to find in bars up here. I'll generally have one if I'm at a bar when I'm back in Missouri, which isn't very often.

I wouldn't drink Busch or Budweiser now if you paid me. And I hate light beer. If I want water, I'll drink water.

I’ve become a coffee snob. It kind of ruined my life. Like I can’t drink coffee from a restaurant or free shit from Deere or whatever. And I’m all about free. Pretty much everything htismaqe is saying about beer is the way I feel about coffee.

But I went the other way. I buy really good drip coffee rather than espresso.

Black Rifle Coffee Murdered Out is my weakness.

I’m a snob :-)


Buddy got one. Good stuff. Unfortunately the builders of my house were fond of fluorescent.

I really like my Instant Pot we recently bought. Meals can be pretty hands off using it and it cooks large batches of chicken breast with good texture for the entire week for me. Also it's Sous Vide function is mind-blowing for steaks. Has the air fryer lid which helps with kids food like nuggets and fries, plus crisps up frozen/cold wings nicely.

Shout out to KCUnited for talking me into the larger 8qt. Definitely wouldn't have wanted to go smaller.

I just checked the BB link and the Golden Tee went up $50 since last night, it's now $299 but still a good price.
[Reply]

Thinking of pulling the trigger. Read there is no backspin button though which is kind of a bummer.
[Reply]

Golden Tee was 250 for 2 days in response to the prime sale, it isn't now but it likely will go back on sale during black friday.

I spent 399 on the NBA Jam cab, got mine at Costco and the Costco version is better..here's why..



Also comes with light up buttons and back lighting..

Here's the non costco one...



No light up buttons or back lighting and the same damn price.

I've thought about buying golden tee a few times though.

That was actually the name of my favorite IPA back in the day.

I have two fluorescent fixtures (two bulbs each) above each car bay, both connected to a normal (screw-in) outlet in the center. Do you think a single in the center would be an upgrade over the two fluorescents on the sides?

Lovely.
