My brother had one hell of a bad time building also. They forgot a window in the basement foundation and had to saw cut it in afterwards They also screwed up the framing and put the kitchen side windows where the den window was supposed to be, and vice versa. On a cookie cutter house. That they likely already built 50 of.
Yeah, we intend to visit the site often. My construction knowledge isn't great but one of my best friends works in the home-building industry and I'll have him along during some visits to the lot.

Curious about that- where does the canal water come from? I assume it's a fresh water canal... I assume there's just a pump that turns on and syphons water from the canal? Where's the pump?

Ugh I need some coffee. I'm barely staying awake over here. Plus my mind has already checked out for vacation.

82* and sunny in San Juan!

39*, overcast, and windy here right now.

It wasn't suppose to rain but you know, since I stayed up till 1AM to wax the car, of course it had to sprinkle on me for 3 minutes this morning.

Same old, same old. Terribly slow day at work and no one is rambling, making today exceptionally painful. At least I'm going golfing for a bit, after work. A few courses opened on Friday.

I feel like Day's got this one in the bag. As long as he's not feeling unwell.

I like his chances, I expect Bubba to step up this week, and Rory, Jordan too. Might be the best Masters in a long time.

I don't know man. I don't give a shit, to be honest. I'm terrible at golf and just go for shits and giggles. I think I have Adams irons. Beyond that, I dunno. Good clubs won't make a shitty player any better

Jordan hasn't been playing well. Kuchar, Stenson, Day, Bubba (always at Augusta), Scott are who I expect to be relevant this week.

Correct. However good clubs can make a good player better.

Don't be so defensive..

4 years of varsity here plus 3 years working at a country club.

Yes, I agree that good clubs can make a good player better, but that's the very least of my concerns

Who's getting defensive? I just said I don't care

"Good" can mean many things. It's all about what's setup right for you. THAT is one of the HUGE differences between average golfers and someone with a decent handicap.

I'd take a set of measured, fitted, proper so-so clubs over a $5,000 name brand off the shelf bag any day.

I used to care. A LOT. Now golf is just one of the better excuses to hang with the bro's, get outside, and drink some beer.

That's my idea of golf

I'm pretty sure I shoot an average of 65-70 on nine holes, at a par 3 course

I actually love playing par 3 courses. That's how I started. I often would go out there with a 4 iron, a 7 iron, a wedge, and a putter and that's it. Fun stuff.

I just thought about my typical score at the par 3, and I'm not as bad as I claimed. Still bad. But not as bad, lol.

So for nine holes, to make par, I should have a score of 27, correct?

I never get birdies.
I'm lucky if I make par.
Normally 1-3 shots over.

I probably get an average score of 45. Still brutal

I suck more than the token girl in a gang-bang movie at golf.

FWIW, I drive farther with the putter than the stupid driver club. Yes, I know, it's all technique. And frankly, I'm pretty sure mine sucks gonads.

And I won my first golf game of the year... 9 holes of par 3

Ended up winning 5-3-1.

We don't count shots. so what, you wanna fight about it?
