The cabinets are salvageable, but I had to get them away from the walls, and the only way to do it was to destroy the countertop, and the backsplash was fricked in the process as well:
Are you being compensated enough from FEMA/Insurance?

That is a pretty sweet setup. I do miss my larger desk at home but this one will do in the apartment for now.
Nice monitors
What are you playing BTW? Overwatch?

Nice upgrade, blue.

I don't have flood insurance (live in Zone X), and the FEMA grant money is basically meant for emergency basics to make the house livable. However, FEMA did give us $14K based on the damage, and it's going to be enough to get the house back in order if spent wisely. We are doing everything ourselves, because the contractor labor would consume every bit of it instantly. But materials are actually cheap if you DIY. A few hundred for drywall and insulation, a couple grand on wood laminate flooring, thousand bucks worth of paint and supplies, a few hundred on interior doors, and some other big expenses like a fridge, oven, and countertop, plus a cheap living room set to get by for a while. AC is fine, as are washer, dryer, and dishwasher, and being able to keep the cabinets is a pretty significant savings. My parents and coworkers have pretty well covered all of the toys and books my kids lost.
There might be a little leftover to get a desk like the one in Blue's pic. My shitty walmart desk fell apart.

My desk is basically the following...
This big ole desk table with this other desk table to complete the L shape. I have basically two of these at the end of each side of the L with the Adils pegs underneath

So the whole Hunger Games series is coming out Nov 8th in 4K HDR Bluray.
Surely if they are doing it with that they will do Harry Potter for Coyote.
$42.99 for the part 2 finale too.

Fyi
If you own Bioshock 1 and 2 on Steam then the remastered version will be free.

Soooo glad I bought an Xbone S for the 4K BR player now that the PS Pro doesn't have one. Keeping it now.
Posted on 9/7/16 at 6:15 pm to UltimateHog
It doesn't?
That will kill sales. I was buying another PS4 for UHD Blu-rays.

Me too, well was gonna sell XBS but not now. No use for it or desire to get the Pro. What a fail.
I would say to pull the trigger if you are wanting a 4K BR player still, although I did read other brands were releasing theirs this fall, so may be able to get a standalone 4K BR player for $200 or so.
Still think the XB1S is well worth in that situation though.

My father is playing PC games again for the first time in 10 years
Posted on 9/8/16 at 10:31 am to CockCommander
My dad likes to drink beer and talk about how much of an a-hole he is at work. Not sure if he has ever played a video game. 
Your Dad seems a lot cooler but I do love my Pops.

Stout.. you might have put Vegas in my head. Just randomly planned a weekend trip on the 22nd.
Honestly have never visited and have almost no interest but oddly wanted to go.

Me and my brother are debating Raiders season tickets if/when they move to Vegas.
So cheap to just fly in for a game and fly out.

Yeah Vegas flights are super cheap. Out of Houston and when I go back home, it's cheap to fly NO to Houston for the connecting flight.

Really hoping these consoles pushing HDR so hard will result in some HDR monitors next year. Should.
We already have tons of 10 bit and 12 bit panels, hell my LG is a 10 bit 4K panel, had no idea it was 10 bit color.
But with no HDR to take advantage of the extra color space it matters little.
