Ummm, oh shoot. I meant March 25th! I would've known the nocturne. Kinda sad I missed that one, too. He played a different piece on March 25 during his encore.

Thanks anyway, hah

Thanks for the thorough answer! Did you have to get your GC license for that or are you in the trade? And what was your budget (gut reno) and did you have to move during the construction?

> why is this terrible?

tell me you’ve never found an iPhone on a bench in the morning near the basketball courts without telling me you’ve never found an iPhone on a bench in the morning near the basketball courts

Wow - it didn't even include Gallery Place/Chinatown...

Oh wow. Thanks. What are some of the things that were missed? My contract was a thorough”ish” but I will have him include nuts and bolts.

And yet we lost the lottery, and we have a real kid.

Leave Russia via the 33 bus! Freedom awaits!

Thanks will go check it out

Thank God we went with metro instead of a freeway

Oh wow. Must be really high end finishes. But this definitely seems a lot. The only reason I’d go with 250K company is that I have seen their work around the neighborhood.

Thank you!

Wow indeed. Based on it being an FBI ad I thought it would be something like this, but watching it was very ominous not understanding the speech

I always wonder this when I overhear someone talking on the phone non-stop

Thanks! Tried searching the sub but “fbi” was not a very helpful query..

Any chance Starry is available (or could be) for your building or house?

Hope you feel better soon.

Just renovated a house last year so not talking out of my ass ;) Was more or less my own GC though

If only we kept expanding it at the same speed as before

Awful contractors. Had a tree guy come out Sunday for an estimate who was possibly on some sort of substance - he aggressively demanded to know others' quotes and returned to the house looking for water after leaving. On Monday we had to cancel an $8500 insulation job because the crew smashed a light fixture five minutes into working and said they didn't feel confident they could complete the job without additional damage. This morning's landscapers are two hours late to fix the job that the last landscapers butchered by pulling up all our plants after we'd explicitly asked to leave them be.

Sigh.

Blue Line looked a lot different back then

The original date for the ground braking of the first segment of the system was to originally be on 10 01 1968. However the chairman (William Natcher (D 2D KY) of the DC Subcommittee of the House Appropriation Committee blocked funding in exchange for building the never built systems of freeway in DC. The impasse ended on 11 25 1969 when President Richard Nixon (R) told him to back down. Ground was broken on 12 09 1969 a week after the first construction contract was awarded.

Did the Westinghouse Modulars always sound like that?

yeah, saw that from the train--was wondering what was going on.

why is this terrible?

I would be concerned you’re going to double your budget on the things not specific in the contract. We received a lowball offer for our basement and when we got feedback from past customers, they stated that the contract was so bare bones they ended up fighting over what was a change order and spent a ton of extra money.

Because he used a car.
