re: Anybody have a dog scared of storms?

Boykin spaniel who duck hunts and let's you shoot a shotgun 6" from her is scared of anything related to rain. Smell of rain and she starts shaking. Tries to climb on you the whole time. Husky/shepherd mix is opposite. Couldn't care less about the rain but deathly afraid of guns and the vaccuum clea...

re: Suggestions for recessed lights for kitchen .. thinking of going 4"
Posted by LSUengr on 3/13/24 at 12:55 pm
We did 4" in our entire house when we built 4 years ago. More of a clean modern look. With LED these days, 4" lights have similar lumen and shine angles to 6" lights. So you don't necessarily need more 4" to get the same lighting as 6". Unless you are going for a super bright look, 4" will be fine. ...
re: Anyone know anything about Guidry Land Development out of Broussard?
Posted by LSUengr on 3/12/24 at 7:33 am
Just finished up a project for them in baton rouge. They do a wide range of developments including apartments, single family starter homes, single family approaching 7 figures and commercial. Good guys in my experience. Just like any developer, they are going to have their critics.

She shot 3 free throws going 2-3 at the line in the games combined. So she only had 19% of the free throw attempts based on her per game average (3/16). She only had 5 games where she attempted 2 or less free throws and 2 of them were against SC....

re: Asphalt driveway cost
Posted by LSUengr on 3/4/24 at 7:51 pm
Sorry, misread the paving part. Carry on.
Don't have many jobs with aggregate so don't know current prices. I know it was high during drought due to fact that shipping down the river was a problem. Maybe that has gotten better with a normal river....
re: Asphalt driveway cost
Posted by LSUengr on 3/4/24 at 7:41 pm
Asphalt per ton on larger jobs is going for around $170 per ton. At 360' x 10' x 2" thick you are 46 tons, which is a small job. So call it $200/ton puts you at $9200 for the asphalt laying alone. Add in the rest of the items and it's fairly reasonable....
