Buy the venty portable fan on Amazon. It's a lifesaver.

I did.

I used getyourguide for the tours.

I booked directly through American for the flights.

I booked directly through Italo for the train tickets

I used booking.com for the hotels



We weren't looking for name brand high dollar hotels. That place in Venice is awesome. Loved it

Florence was a bit of a walk downtown but not terrible.

Place in Rome was nice, good location away from all the tourists. Wasn't as nice inside as the other two but nothing terrible.

I have 2x10 joists with the max span of 12'.

I meant thin set mortar. I was mostly asleep this morning apparently

Perfect. That's what I needed to know. Thanks

That's my mistake. I meant exposure 1

I'm putting ceramic tile over an old hardwood floor that is past the point of repair, and because the wife wants it.

I'm needing to put plywood down over the planks and then put the backer board over the plywood. And I need it be acceptable to receive glue

All of my local lumber yards don't even know what I'm talking about. I live way out in the sticks

Where would I find

1/2" sheets of bcx plywood with an exterior 1 rating

My guess is your guess is probably closer to correct than my original guess

My guess is yuracheck tried but they wanted more than that bean counter wanted to pay.

Is it still going to be a requirement to schedule a p4 team?


Yes. Which to me even more so makes the 7 win number an even bigger thing.

There are years where you'll have 5 away sec games and your p4 game (which there should be NO REASON for that game to be away in the same cycle as the 5 away SEC games)

Your math comes out to an average of 7.2 wins. I'm talking about winning 6 regular season games.

Honestly you could on average end up in the same bowl game either way.

We're saying the same thing

re: Hunter Yuracheck

So....

An average of 7.2 wins.

We're really arguing about winning 6 or winning 7?

I think one of the biggest things moving forward is who the p4 we schedule is.

For now we shouldn't be scheduling Notre Dame, Utah, etc

It should be Boston College, Northwestern, Minnesota, Kansas State, Purdue. Schools in the same type of class as where we currently are.

Have several seasons of winning 8-9 games and then move up in competition.
