Understood. Yeah I do think about that. Walk through urine, out to car and put my shoes on my floor mat. I've gotta be transferring urine to my car.
Maybe I should go barefoot in the bathroom and put shoes on in car.

Good way to get a dirty soul.

I have no idea what the context of this post is and at this point, I'm afraid to ask.

I can see the intellectual discussion of when one should wash is beyond you casuals. ;)

I had to go at the grocery store the other day, and it was pretty weird that I was wearing the nitrile gloves. It would have been weirder if they had been the really heavy duty ones like I use to clean the bathroom or my shoes.

I've got a query into the 'crootin thread and I'm terrible at multi-tasking when drinking rum, did we get honey dicked by Cody Brown?

Off topic - don't know if any of you follow recruiting, but heading over to that forum is worth it. Pruitt is absolutely killing it. A couple more offseasons of COVID-19 lockdowns and we should be back in the thick of championships.

God I just hope he can actually develop them into the gridiron killers we want them to be. Very encouraging on Barnes too. And I believe he can coach. I’m really hopeful that Pruitt can too. We were better at the end of last year than at the start. That’s finally fixed. But we need to get much better really fast.

The renovation is almost complete. Waiting on granite for the bathroom vanity and gutters.

Pain in the butt to live in a construction area. Did not enjoy uncovering damage. Only went over estimate where we repaired the damage and added the proper elements (housewrap, window tape, etc). Replaced vinyl with new.

Took our 20x30 deck and converted half to a screened in porch. The other half is a pergola. Demo'd a section of kitchen wall. Installed a 4 panel slider between kitchen and screened porch. We step out of kitchen and it feels like were on vacation.

I'm glad my wife didn't find out that granite gutters were available on our recent build. I bet they are expensive.

With the door open to establish dominance.








But seriously I rarely use public bathrooms to poop. I have a shy colon.

You would love the latrines in the infield of the Indy Speedway, unless they have changed in the last few years. There was a trough or big gutter going along 3 walls and sloped toward one end to drain. There were probably 50 guys standing shoulder to shoulder taking a leak.

The only places to take a dump were 3 commodes without lids sitting ( guys just sitting on the rim) in the open in the middle of the concrete block building. The commodes looked like big vases with no backs on them. I assume there was a hole in the ground under them that they pumped out afterward. No stalls or dividers or walls. If you had to go, you would be sitting 4 or 5 feet from 2 other guys , with nothing between you and them, and the other 50 guys standing against a wall , taking a leak. I would have shat in my pants before I would have sat on those commodes.

If you happened to be on the lower end of the piss gutter, there was a rushing torrent of urine in the gutter about a foot deep, and flowing at about 5 miles per hour as it went down the drain.

I seem to recall a trough setup at Cool Beans.

We were taught some convoluted formula in school for this. I cant remember it but there was a part about how many open sides you have as well. If you are getting a prebuilt box you wont have to worry about this, but height as well.

I think the fricking formula had 13 variables at least and looked like something on einstein's chalkboard. We asked the professor if there was a better rule of thumb we could use instead. And he said "Yeah tell your clients to buy gas". We looked at it and decided it was just something the engineers came up with to eff with us. You would do a page and a half of calculations after spending 30 minutes looking all the variables up and you would get some mundane answer like "11'-3"". At least in structures after those calls you got thousands of kips.

It covered everything from the physical dimensions, to type of wood burnt, base humidity, outdoor air temp vs indoor air temp, elevation.

I'm with ya Louder. I know the bigger the fire box, the more feet of chimney you need above it to make it draw right...also that a 2 sided needs way more chimney bc it has double the "intake" area between the 2 openings. I have actually never built a 2 sided...though there is no difference really other than chimney height...a firebox works the same way a masonry arch does...it narrows at the top until you have reduced the size of the box down to the size of the damper/flue. Once the mortar has set up hard, it isnt going anywhere.

** I may have told you this before Louder...but my crazy FIL who has been a contractor for 35years, removed the gas log insert from his fireplace and let's the wife burn real wood in it every winter....it is a metal stovepipe running up a wood framed chimney with OSB and siding on it. I have told him a dozen times that he is gonna burn his house to the ground but he doesnt listen. As soon as a little hole develops in that super thin metal stovepipe, the first cinder that passes thru it will set his chimney off like a book of matches. osb has so much glue in it...he is getting older now too...mid 60s...they will lose everything. You cant make somebody listen to you, though.
