If it wasn't mentioned at the time of order, I think you're fine. Personally, I think it's kind of a silly request. If she wants people to know how to contact her, she should watermark her social media "prints" with a discrete web address in the corner or something...but she needs to be up...

Me too, exactly! I told a friend yesterday that I'm a over-comma-er. :oops: How can you say that? It should be "Me, too, exactly!" Man... Somedays you can't even trust a person's own self-analysis. Oh, no! How embarrassing. :oops: Now, now. Do I need to get you ladies some self-help books...

We're private building inspectors, we are not municipal code inspectors. You know those horrible people who come in and inspect the place before you buy it? By law, we cannot "act" like code, pest,or environmental inspectors, nor contractors or engineers, so the word "code" or an...

We got rid of WF several years ago. We had personal accounts there and when we bought a business we opened business accounts...what a confusing clusterf*ck. They opened about 12 different accounts and we kept trying to close the ones we did not need or use (we called, we wrote, we repeated) and they...

Suzon

Going for clarity, so I'm going with #1.

Thanks everyone for the input on one silly stock phrase for building inspection reports.

Suzon

Which do you prefer:

We recommend railings that meet modern safety standards be installed where needed.

My brain has gone for a bit of a walkabout.

Building code used to be 3 layers max but changed, I think, in 2003. Now the IRC requires a tear off and new roof when the existing roof is wood, slate, clay, concrete shingles . Metal can be applied over these under certain application conditions. Asphalt can be applied over another layer under ce...

Suzon

I agree.

Suzon

Cedar roofs are great in that they can be repaired piecemeal by just putting in new shingles where needed. But when they're finally toast, they're toast. As others have said, asphalt shingles are a fine alternative, as is metal. Whatever you do, pay the extra money and have the cedar removed. A lot ...

Yes, I could do that, and it might work for a few weeks - But the rest of the paddock, with the rain that we've been having, is a little wet and muddy, so the bandage would be destroyed. And once the weather turns the water is too far away, and no electricity - and everything would freeze. Barn nee...

Suzon

I really like angles like the moth...and other atypical-for-photography stuff. I love the photobomb shots because so rarely does anyone show photos of butterflies in flight (probably because they're a PITA to shoot!)

Suzon

I'm a fan of dark. When I had my barn at home, I had a light I could switch on from the house so I could go feed horses in the dark or whatever. Other than that, it was lights out.

Suzon

Sorry to say I thought this would be about a leaf blower to clean the aisle.

That's sound great!

Barn Drama...UGH! I've gotten so I run to the barn earlier in the afternoon than my fellow boarders so I can care for my horses and get the hell out before anyone shows up. Kinda sucks. We only have seven horses in the entire barn and three/four owners, but one set of owners apparently replenishes a...

The metal room is probably a no-go.

Suzon

I'm assuming the Mark IV knows the difference between your face smootched up against the screen when you're looking through the view finder and your finger. Otherwise, Dog knows what you'd be doing to your settings!

Suzon

Ok, I'm just gonna make an executive decision and start a new thread. :lol: Here I'll make it horse related: This is from the last horse shoot I did. This was the horse who ended up being the model for the rainbow chorusline. https://photos.smugmug.com/Everything/Gallery/i-H8xsNhv/0/M/Gilroy%20693-M...

Once thing they say about Wi-Fi is don't try to hide it. It's much better with line of sight. The more you put in the way (by hiding it behind the couch or in a cabinet) the worse it is.

Suzon

Hmm, I could go either way- new thread or not. I lean towards new thread because I often come to post something, then can't find the darn thread and end up not posting anything..lol. I'm in the same boat. By the time I've found it, the phone rings or DH wants something, and I never get my thing pos...

Suzon

I'm throwing it out to a vote...should we start a new photography thread. I hate having to search for this one and then click "all the way"

to page 9.

ACTUALLY, I live in a town where some people are still mad that they had to put an electric light in the barn! We don't even HAVE a gas station! IOW, it is ABSOLUTELY fine to poke fun at Princeton. Because this is absolutely ludicrous. Gosh, even Deadwood has a gas station, and that's with a popula...

Suzon

Yes. This is EXACTLY what I am talking about. Just because I interact with the internet over my phone now more than I did five years ago, doesn't mean I will go totally over to using just my phone! But that is what some people in town are trying to convince others is happening. Oh that's right! You...

Suzon

We have business class internet here in California and DSL in Oregon. I only use my phone for internet when I'm out and about, need directions, stuck waiting for an appointment and want to be entertained, etc.

It's 1400 sq and we added a second bathroom/walk in closet last year (which is awesome btw). I can't imagine going much smaller than that (and we have a basement which we use for storage). Our house is fine for the two of us, but smaller would be fairly miserable. The only thing I wish we had is a ...

Suzon

Please explain to your DH, it's HIS problem he needs to deal with. The dog would find a welcome relief in death and asking him to suffer because you're husband is not ready to let go is just not fair to the dog. Don't mean to sound harsh, but the dog has cancer, he's barely getting around, barely ea...

Suzon

Ooh I'm so envious!

Can't wait until our major project gets started.

Suzon

WHOO HOO!

Suzon

Bits, that's a cool concept, but I might want to change my underwear once in a while.

We do have neighbors across the creek who can probably see us in the winter. Though lots of glass in the main living area is on the list.

I marked a few floor plans for ideas. Will be looking at it more this weekend...I hope.

Suzon

redsoxluvr, are you me?? LOL. After doing a ton of research on DIY homes, Hubby and I built our house in 2010 using a timberframe and SIP kit. We did almost all the labour ourselves. It took us about 8 months before we could move in (with both of us working full time throughout the process). We bou...

Arrggghhhh, I replied earlier today and not there :( Love the photos!!! Did you HDR the one of the stream? (sans ducks?) To reply to this question. No. I've been doing a lot of different stuff for my landscapes. This is a single exposure with a lot of different work in different areas with masking....

Will do. I've downloaded a couple simple floor plans but there are things I like and don't like about each one, and then I'm sure DH will have his input as well, so I'm sure it will be a process.

So, if you remember, my DH and I purchased a dump on a very beautiful piece of property last year. We've been debating what to do with the house and investigated keeping it, raising it and putting a foundation under it. Last month when we had the property mowed, we had all the bushes pulled out from...

Suzon

Where do these people come from??

I shouldn't have to ask, having just gone through the resume reviews for an assistant about a year ago.

Suzon

I had a horse who, if he wanted to let me know his blanket was too warm, would undo the front buckles, let it roll around to his belly and then pee in it like a giant diaper.

Suzon

Actually no photos of the engagement. I know!!! We were in kayaks in the middle of the lake and I didn't take my cameras as I was afraid they would get wet, and they would have. I'll post a picture of the ring in a bit though. Oh for dog's sake woman! Next time put a freaking go pro on the kayak......

Well, since he's not my son and only here for 5 hours a day (and is often in the field, so not even that), I don't think I'll bother with the dog bowl. I'll just leave the room while he eats.

What kind of photography do you want to do? I would say for action, a DSLR is still the way to go, but for anything that's not barrelling around and blowing up dust, I'll say, look at a mirrorless...just because they're smaller and lighter. That doesn't mean you can't use them for action, you can, b...

Honest question...would you be as annoyed if it was someone other than DH's DS? I'd probably be twice as annoyed to know I hired someone with those manners that I'd actually interviewed and vetted. As it is, we're trying to give DS a boost in life by expanding his skills and giving him responsibili...
