re: Ordering fast food through an “app”
Posted by milksteak on 3/7/24 at 7:27 am
I don’t think so. They’re still tracking your spending with the intent to manipulate your behavior. I don’t mean that in a sinister way, it’s just the way things work these days.
Each customer is a unique data point. They can tailor these offers depending on your past response.

1. They don’t need someone to take your order. It’s hard to find people with the soft skills to create a pleasant experience and it costs money to have them in place.
2. Average check is higher on apps because of upselling opportunities. The more you spend, the more they make.
3. Accuracy rates...
re: Need tequila advice
Posted by milksteak on 5/8/21 at 8:01 am
Yeah, Fortaleza is great in that price range.
I like El Tesoro a lot too. For about 6 months or so, the Rouses on Vets near Causeway had El Tesoro Reposado priced at $29, even though the Blanco was like $39. I probably went through a case and a half of the stuff. Went back last week to re-up, an...

Agree that Espolon silver is a pretty good fit for your first question.
For a gateway sipping tequila, maybe try a really good blanco instead. At $75, I really like Casa Dragones Blanco. ...

re: Cost range for waterfall countertop island?
Posted by milksteak on 2/14/21 at 3:30 pm
I'm no pro here, but I can give you a point of reference.
I'm in the process of building an outdoor kitchen with granite countertops and a waterfall edge on one side. I need 57 sf of stone for the job. Installation is $1775 and the slab was $1111. The granite I picked, I'm told, was reasonably ...
re: Is there a way to put a pellet grill into an outdoor kitchen set up?
Posted by milksteak on 1/1/21 at 10:45 am
Coyote and Memphis both make built in pellet grills. I've never cooked on either - or on any pellet grill for that matter. Just came across them when building my outdoor kitchen...

KeKe, Aiyuk, or Chark?
Posted by milksteak on 12/13/20 at 10:21 am
KeKe vs. Chi (4th fewest points allowed to WR)
Aiyuk vs. Was (2nd fewest points to WR)
Chark vs Tenn (4th most points to WR)
Aiyuk is hot with a tough matchup. Chark has a good matchup, but hasn't done much. Keke is one of few options in Hou, but has a tough matchup and is hard to trust after o...
re: Cool pool items
Posted by milksteak on 12/12/20 at 8:37 pm
Glad you found someone that is a good fit. As I've recently learned, this seems to be kind of a shady industry.
Cheers and let's hope it is a relatively pain-free process for all of us. Wishful thinking, perhaps. ...
re: Cool pool items
Posted by milksteak on 12/12/20 at 10:58 am
We're under contract with Rafael at LA Pools as well. We haven't started construction yet, so I can't comment on build quality or timeliness. I can say that my pre-contract experience was very different from yours. We received a quote based on a drawing at our very first meeting. I found him to be e...
re: Pool Decking: Construction Method
Posted by milksteak on 10/21/20 at 10:57 am
Thanks again for the tips.
For whatever reason, I am inherently skeptical of pool contractors. I get kind of a used car salesman vibe from some of them. A lot of name dropping, pressure tactics, and vague answers to specific questions.
LA Pools was easy going pre-contract execution. Really ...

That's what I was wondering.

Any chance I can get you to expand on that? I'd love to know what to look out for. ...
re: Pool Decking: Construction Method
Posted by milksteak on 10/20/20 at 2:05 pm
Yes, I signed a contract with LA Pools yesterday. His quote wasn't itemized specifically for travertine, but I believe he said it was around $15 per sq ft with the compacted sand/stone approach. Another $5 per sq ft for the concrete foundation.
I pretty much went with the package he offered, but ...
re: Pool Decking: Construction Method
Posted by milksteak on 10/20/20 at 7:26 am
I didn't see any quotes that low, but demand hasn't been this high in decades, maybe ever, from what I'm told. No surprise that prices have followed.

re: Pool Decking: Construction Method

$15 per sq ft with only about 600-700 sq ft of decking.
Found a phone pic of what we may go with. Hope this link works -
