Jobs are neat.

Rank 1 is the best rank. Good work. 

 

[GroveDiesel]

That seems pretty dull.

My last week and a half was more exciting, but navigating a death trap of an abandoned power plant in full hazmat gear and respirator in order to locate, identify, quantify and sample approximately 400,000 square feet of asbestos hasn't exactly been my idea of fun. 

Jobs are neat indeed. 

 

[kevzilla]

I was compelled to shower and shave and drive into the office, like I always do on Friday. A grueling eight miles twisting through a small canyon with horse farms. Jobs are neat.

I had to source and select black granite. this involved calls to paris, tres sexy.

Also had to mediate between contractor and building rep about whether waterproofing membrane will void the warranty on the lead shower pan if it goes directly on it without mastic first. 

I also watched most of two soccer games. AND gave very good advise in here about some things, like bat catching.

Knowing the people here, if you follow my advice, guessing that link gets one click, maybe two.

fortunately a two-part link-clicking experience. I went part one and immediately felt bad about myself so didn't feel like jumping into the pit of despair that I'm sure awaited me after clicking to see the video.

[RedmondLonghorn]

Not crazy about my job these days, but it could be far worse.

We have painters here doing touch up work on trim and millwork through out the house before we get it listed. I painted in college and what they are doing is the worst job. Painstaking and tedious.

I did a lot of speechifying and award accepting this week. And drinking with younger women. It was a good week.

Love my job.  Hate my clients.

I love painting.  Probably because it's tedious.  You should have hired me.

I am a pretty good painter, but 6+ hours of touch up on millwork is brutal.

 

[cosjobs]

I just post the leftover quote and then immediately delete that post.   Once you post it, it goes away.

That used to work for me, but doesn't anymore

 

[cosjobs]

If your pregnant wife buys super lean sirloin steaks without much flavor because it's what she wanted and you think the cut sucks, you find a way to get some flavor in there. 

Pound that #### out and make a chicken fried steak. 

But I'dve thought the sous vide would make it really tender. Did it? 

And I've endorse a sauce on less flavorful, lesser quality cuts. 

 

[Osaurus]

So Eastern Michigan's field is gray.  It looks like the set from Pleasantville.  Very odd.  Go Pokes!!

Give me a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it quick, I'm in a god-damn hurry.

BTW granite countertops are the devil's popcorn ceilings.  In 15 years people are going to say "granite? How dated."

Granite is a high end material and in a safe color will not go out of style.  There are and will be hipper materials but no one is going to be turned off by granite.  That said it wouldn't be my first choice right now.

The 80s called and told me to tell you Brass 

 

[cosjobs]

I'm putting some new cabinets in and going with end grain butcher block. 

That's what I used on my last kitchen remodel. No more granite in my projects

Bull ####. It will totally go out of style.  People said the same thing about shag carpet, linoleum, Formica, and wallpaper.

 

[Sconch]

Guys, you know what is timeless?  Wood paneling! http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1d-oUdSA3qc/T_nBhhO6tWI/AAAAAAAAB8o/kLkrhdkK_3A/s1600/090428a.jpg

All you need is a table saw and some finishing nails!  It is a look that will last multiple generations.

 

[Sconch]

btw when they remodeled my class room they ripped out all of the 1970-1980s counters and cabinets (like this http://uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/120501a.JPG ) and put in faux granite counter tops like this http://www.nelsonpaint.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/white and gray gloss countertop.jpg

Way to replace something dated with something with a damn doomsday clock to dated built in.

Who said anything about counter tops, Palladio?

[cosjobs]

I am irrationally excited that I can have one 12'' cabinet that has a garbage can in it and I can cut a hole in my countertop that goes straight to the garbage can. Also, my whole countertop is cutting board. Got the idea from Michael Symon's cooking show. 

The ideal working kitchen has All wood or stainless steel surfaces. So even if the style fades, it's still optimal functionality, which should always have marketability.
