re: Destin, Mirimar, Blue Mountain help needed - failuretocommunicate
Thanks to all for the suggestions. Yes we are more interested in doing the hotel thing rather than beachfront. We do the beachfront thing every year in other locations and we are just looking to get away from the crowds even if it means driving to a public beach and trekking a boardwalk to get to th...

I haven't been to this area in 10 years (or more) and I'm looking for something quick and easy.....I'd likely prefer to hit up a public beach area rather than be shoulder to shoulder with the masses. Was thinking I'd likely find a hotel inste...

re: Mac Saturn, Dirty Honey, Joyous Wolf - failuretocommunicate
Yes to Dirty Honey and Joyous Wolf. Have seen both at the HOB New Orleans on different occasions (DH was pre-covid and before they hit a next level and JW was 3/30/22). Both really good, but sadly JW's lead singer just quit the band....so I doubt they'll be anything close to what they were....good...

re: new residential construction prices - failuretocommunicate
[quote]That's amazing to me. I have talked to several different builders, and some neighbors who have a lot next to mine in the south Baton Rouge area who have also spoken with various builders, and we are seeing prices in the $250-$290 per square foot of living range. That's NOT including the lot. ...

re: Portable AC Recs - failuretocommunicate
The B&D model that I had is the smaller version of the one you linked. It did the job but only getting 2 years out of it is disappointing. I was hoping that someone has had a better experience with another brand or another alternative. The venting issue is definitely necessary. A window unit w...

Finishing up my outdoor kitchen area today (it's part of a new construction build). 2 comments on your setup....you definitely need more room on either side of the grill. Also I'd plan to have more than 5 inches excess room on the backside of grill. Also possibly swapping the location of the b...
