the trivial complaints thread

[Quinc]

Spent an hour looking for my keys, my magnet hide a key is gone after being stuck to my car for years.. And I finally found where my 4 year old hid the keys. After asking him multiple times all I could get out of him was "I put it under the white thing that gets wet and is heavy" aka the wetjet...

After nearly 4 years in our current house, we are finally wrapping up some alterations that have been on the list for the past 2 years at least.

I got the garage insulated and installed an AC unit and I’m swapping out the busted up shower unit in our ensuite this week.

We already ripped out all the carpet and installed 2k sq/ft of laminate flooring. We just replaced the central A/C unit a couple months back and countless other small little things that make this home ours.

Going to sign papers on a new house later today.

Not much to post at this time. Just a bunch of nail biting as we wait anxiously for details from our agent.

Our appointment for today got bumped till Friday.

I’ll be sure to post a build thread when it happens. I’ve lain awake for the past 4 nights building it out in my head and running different design ideas.

It’s amazing how many options you get with just 400sq/ft more.

My wife gets to figure out the rest of the house, lol.

Are you building a new house or buying one already built? I guess that was what I was confused about. Can only imagine what you can come up with and extra 400 sq/ft

We actually found a floor plan that we love in a new subdivision right up the road from us. Unfortunately there are no more lots available that support the floor plan we like so starting from scratch is not an option.

They do however have one unit left in our floor plan that is scheduled for completion in March. It’s just a little bit beyond the stage where we can make major changes but it’s probably close enough the way they have it designed that we can live with their decisions. With the exception of one item, it’s all stuff easily changed after the fact.

I can jam all of OCD into 400 sq/ft and still have more than enough room to play with.

I'm getting a rude lesson in Procrastination 101 this week.

There have been 4 house projects on my to-do list for well over 3 years now. One is a significant project (replace a failed fiberglass walk in shower unit), and the other 3 are little loose ends left over after previous bigger projects already completed. We purchased everything needed for the shower unit about 4 months ago and planned to knock it out over the Christmas break.

Last week we approached a developer about commissioning a new home built to our spec and discovered that all the lots big enough for our desired floor plan are sold already. Lucky for us, they were already building our exact plan as a spec home and have it to lock up stage. The good news is, it will be ready to move into in less than 3 months vs 8-9 but the bad news is, we had to go under contract immediately and now I have to tackle and complete all 4 projects before we can list our current home to minimize how long we need to float 2 mortgages..

I have had the week off between Christmas and New Years and despite spending half that time dealing on the new home, managed to get 3 out of the four jobs banged out and the shower project about 80% completed.

I need another 3-4 days to wrap everything up but the holiday is over and I'm back to work tomorrow and on the road for the next 10 days! That's good news for my body but bad news for the completion date.

Oh yeah, and if ya'll are doing the math on that 10 days; that has me coming home on the 12th. That's 2 days after our Anniversary, one day after I am supposed to leave for Daytona and halfway through the 20 or so days I have left to get the house ready to list.

And don't even get me started on OCD commitments...

The silver lining to all of this...the new house has a 3 bay garage so The OCD Garage get's it's own bay.

I worked a 17hr day on Wednesday and when I arrived at my hotel at 10:45pm, they did not have my reservation anymore. Corporate Traveler booked my stay starting Monday, not Wednesday and the hotel cancelled my entire reservation after I didn't show.

I tried to rebook and found they bumped the rates from $135 to $199 a night. How convenient! The entire area is booked up for most of the summer, (I've changed hotels 4 times during a 5 week project), so I already know finding another room for 3 nights is going to be a PITA. My company would have covered the additional cost without question but I called BS, walked out and booked 3 nights at the newly renovated Econo Lodge a mile down the road for the cost of one night at HIE. I had to be back onsite for 5am so I really didn't have the time or patience to dicker about it that night.

Having spent 2 nights now at the Econo Lodge at $79/night vs a cushy Holiday Inn Express, I'm starting to rethink my decision but it is what it is. The bed was comfortable and the sheets and towels were clean and the shower was hot so really, what more does a guy need.

Thankfully I already had the rest of the project booked in at the hotel right down the road from the project starting Saturday so I just have to make it through one more night at the Econo-Lodge.

Every time I go on this forum with some question that I'm sure has been discussed over and over, I search...first, don't bother with the search built into the site, it won't find you anything, use google.

What do I find, every time?

A zillion threads where somebody asked about the thing I want to know about, and a bunch of poeple tell the guy that there are a zillion threads about this go search.

There might be a link to an old thread about it, and the link is always dead.

And if I do find a thread about it, the pictures are all gone.

Hard core first world problems here.

What are you looking for........ The Search can get quirky, you got to play with it. or Google and type X-H20 after. I have had good luck with that.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Just did a quick search on the site, did not find much, went to google and typed Hull Drains - X-h2o and this popped up........

 

[Storbeck]

Yeah the searching via google I'm well aware of, the problem is if it's a commonly asked question you usually end up with a zillion posts where somebody asks about it and a bunch of people say "you should search"

And then if you do actually find a usefull thread inevitably the pictures are all gone.

with enough persistance, one can usually find info. But it's a pain. This is the trivial complaint thread, no?

 

[Storbeck]

And the links to old threads are usually dead links.

You have to upgrade to site supporter and then you get the good search.

No this is not the complaint thread you were looking for!
