Thanks
Had this been an outside job, I'd simply blow it off. Problem is it came from a respected member within.

Since the abuse didn't happen to me (or you), I guess it wasn't so noticeable to us. It's easier not to notice the pain when the hammer hits someone else's finger. I didn't catch it either. I'd hope it was just a misunderstanding that got out of hand or someone having a bad day.
Question for anyone with knowledge of foundations. Should you buy a house with steel floor jacks under it(16 of them)? No noticeable rot in wood under the house. Roof is old, but nothing easily seen as a problem. A roof vent was repaired at one time. No cracks noticeable in foundation.
Sir,
It really depends on the sub surface of the ground.(clay, rock, sand,...) If asking generally, I'd walk away....
Edit: (From me 20-25 years working under structures in Kentucky.) Part of what I did was to install those type systems. In basements and mostly crawl spaces...

Good morning all,
I am at a soccer game. (The only type I plan to ever attend, the grand childrens.)

Got to see my 8 year old Great Grand Daughter yesterday. Wanted to go Dairy Queen so off we go. Always wants a chocolate Sundae. Need to stop at Lowe’s and she tells me she wants to go to Hobby Lobby, Petco and pOpshelf. Back in direction we came from but anything to make her happy. Then take her home. Wore me out but worth every minute.
Thanks, helpful info.
Is there any evidence of ground movement? There are companies that specialize in these things. My SIL has big problems with ground movement. It is caused by water. She just spent $14,000 on putting in 40 foot long pilings to get to base rock to stabilize her house. Flood plains cause this problem.
I think it may be prudent to check for ground movement. The fact that there are no cracks noticeable in the foundation is a good sign that all is well.
Thanks. We are house shopping and this was a house we looked at. There were drainage problems at one time, that appear to be corrected. Don't know about ground movement.
Travis has a thread over on HOB. May be worth a look. One can only hope...
Good afternoon D, we are heading to a birthday party this afternoon, Mrs. M had a request for a gallon of homemade peanut butter ice cream from the grandson, birthday boy.
ATX you are always in my prayers, I pray the doctors are wrong!
Heading out to Arkansas this Thursday trout fishing, this will be my last time taking two trips there fishing, don't like being away from my family.
The only way that it would appear that I would say anything bad about the D Leaguers, is I account would have been hacked, you guys are my friends!!!!
Glass business is out of control, I never intended it to be a job, it's getting to close to that!!! I am retired! Everytime I take something I made to the Apple House, the lady tells me, hey look at this project think you can make it? I just laugh and say maybe. Her latest is making three different suncatchers, titled, Sunrise in Paradise (John Prine), Sunrise on the Green (River) and Sunrise on Lake Malone. Going to make one of each and see how it goes, but I will say this, GOD has been good to me!!!!!
I hope the D has a great day and always praying for the D!!!!

Good morning folks.
Cord —is there anything keeping you from honoring foreign countries? I was thinking of the United Kingdom, where a lot of our ancestors are from…Just a thought.
Nice day in the east. Finished up some weekend chores and heading out for a walk before lunch. Have a good day folks. .

Went fishing again this morning and it was a push. Warrior-Cat 1--Largemouth Bass 1 as I hooked 2 and lost 1.
Wife said while I was gone, one of our neighbors was out in his yard with his dog and the monster was barking at them making a lot of noise. One of our other dogs (pit mix) who is always trying to control the other dogs took offense and went after the monster. Well, the monster was having none of it, so they got into a fight that scared off 2 of the 3 cats that were in the back yard with them. she said that the third cat pictured below was up on the fence, jumped down, and ran over to where they were fighting and jumped up with all four claws forward into the pit mix which took them by surprise and they quit fighting. I guess he did not want them fighting. Wife said she wish she had recorded it. She said it was the craziest thing she had ever seen an animal do.
Kato is a different kind of cat.

When the Mad Dog was still a small pup, our lab mix went after her over a toy. Jan had a 20 pound cat that tore into him to protect the Mad Dog. the cat got the best of it.
Oh and by the way, UK is playing West Virginia on ESPNU right now. UK Up 5-0

Got a little "Pit Bull-mix" in her I guess.... 😅
Funny thing, one of my Crosses went to Kansas, we got a message from the buyer saying, she wasn't removing the tag because it's signed by the artist!!! Well I thought it was funny!!
Only me, my ability to continue doing stained glass depends on my eye sight and my hands
I hope GOD lets me live to see UK win another championship, I don't care what they say, I will make an ornament declaring, UK, NCAA champions 2050!!!! At the pace UK is going it will be that long!!!
UK beat West Virginia to advance to a 2 game series (if UK wins first one) against IU to see who is regional champ. Next game is at 6pm (eastern) tonight.
Graeter's seasonal flavor of the month. They had me at banana but add chocolate chips. Hoo wee!
Hopefully I can find this flavor when I come out in 2 weeks.Graeter's seasonal flavor of the month. They had me at banana but add chocolate chips. Hoo wee!
Good morning from ATX. We've got 71°F and cloudy. Chance for rain this afternoon. Today's high expected at around 84°F.
Random thoughts:
- Police car just rode by with blue lights on. No siren. Hope nothing serious.
- Half and Half cream sure keeps long in the fridge. Purchased a carton two weeks ago for oyster stew. Expiry date good until July.
- Beat the Hoosiers!
Wishing a good start to your week.
For my good friend Willy, who should return to posting soon.

Good morning folks. Another Monday. Beautiful, cool and sunny day in the east. These are some of the best days of the year. Got out for a bit this morning but I'll likely be stuck behind a desk most of the day.
I heard from a friend I'd lost track with yesterday who went to WVU and he immediately goaded me into a lunch bet on the baseball game. So I got a free lunch ahead out of that Cats' win.
UK up 1 game to -0 on IUse2Be in the tournament. I hope they close that out today, because I work with a guy who is an IU grad and don't want to hear from him about the opposite outcome. Everybody in DC is from somewhere else, so over the years -- about 45 for me now -- you end up with these incredibly tangled and complicated sports relationships with people you have worked with on one job or another. That's about half the reason I even stay interested in college sports anymore. It's the conversational currency of the office during football and basketball seasons especially.
I hope you all get to enjoy a nice Monday.

Good morning D-League. It is a sunny 71.1°F here on our way to 88°. No rain but we could sure use some.
I had a good weekend with my son. Not enough of those.
Have a good monday folks.

HAHA, I didn't use a curse word but I actually had an interview like that once....(seriously) but, just once... 😁
(It was an interview for a lateral position and I had decided I didn't like the people running the show.)
Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and partly cloudy. Very humid. Slight chance for a late day storm. Today's high may hit 86°F. 90s and 100s on the way later in the week.
Loved Cats win yesterday. I watched entire game from end of 2nd inning until complete. Sound was off. Winning 3 straight requires something special. Go Cats! On to Baton Rouge.
Finally growing some hair back. F%cking chemo. Experienced a couple headaches yesterday. Definitely don't need those.
Wishing all a fine Tuesday.

God's comfort to you brother ATXC....
Good morning all,
Heading inside after it seems a daily commute wreck to navigate. People drive so darned aggressive. Just not needed.... And, will never learn. I have my moments but darn you have to temper your emotion.
Have a day that brings contentment....
I have a meeting with my new supervisor today....that may cause some tension but it's okay.
God Bless you members of the D-League...
