I got lucky and HD was discontinuing them, so I paid like $50 per rack, instead of $90. Yes, the wood alternative would've been much cheaper, but these look really good and it was a lot less time/effort to install them.

Yeah, I've been eyeing those from HD/Costco as well but was wondering if it'd be cost-effective...

Time is definitely much more limited for me so maybe I'll just go that route and call it a day... There's an attic up above so I don't have a problem going up there if necessary

Trying to digest that much Ramblings at one time is too much for anyone to handle. That will you.

I don't think justn will be back for a while. I heard his mom sent him off to his cousin's in Nebraska or Kansas or something, because he got knocked up and they're forcing him to have the crablet and then give up up for adoption (soup) before he can come back.

He's always on and off social media. I remember him posting for a few days, then his profile would just disappear. Not sure if he is still on IG.

Well the truth is... this place kinda sucks.

The majority of topics are rehashed questions from newbies and it gets tiring answering them constantly the same thing you've answered before.

The rest is Ramblings, where every other day the discussion turns into senseless quarrel and you somehow have to justify your opinion at every turn. It gets tiring too, but mostly... it gets old quickly.


Otherwise there's a handful of very nice people around here which I wouldn't mind being in touch with () in a different context (my dungeon).



In other unrelated news and for those maybe interested in a personal tidbit, I am likely to be diagnosed soon-ish with hemochromatosis (iron overload) and maybe another problem related to my hypophysis, either caused by the first problem or not. Roid raging with a possibly weak heart, good combo yeah?
