re: Adding blocking inside the walls (new construction)

Posted by GeauxldMember on 2/25/26 at 2:44 pm to Will Cover

My first house had the interior walls decked with 3/4” plywood. It was convenient for hanging pictures and such, but most of tape joints of the drywall developed small cracks. My assumption is the movement of the plywood over the seasons caused this. Wasn’t a giant deal, but it was unsightly for an anal retentive fricker like me. :lol:

Also, I don’t think the cost would be “minimal” any more. I think a sheet of 3/4” CDX is around $35.

We stopped using the place by our house because they’ve gone up about 8-fold in the last 5 years. Shop around next time. $75 for 2 suits is not normal. :lol:

They are building a house and paid this subcontractor about 15,000 up front for work. He was supposedly reputable and did good work.

When are people going to learn to not give money to contractors up front. If a contractor is reputable and solvent, they won’t ask for or require any sort of payment or deposit up front.

Re-setting old work laptop

Posted by GeauxldMember on 2/18/26 at 2:29 pm

My wife (no pics) has an old work laptop running Windows 10 Enterprise. When they migrated her to a new machine, IT told her they didn’t want the old machine back.

I figured it would be a good machine to let the kid use. It has bitlocker, so I can’t just wipe the drive and re-set it without the key and/or admin password. Is there a way for a dummy like me to wipe the C drive and then I can just buy and install Windows 11 for a cheap kid computer?

I have a dalmatian that is aggressive at front door people, worries me. my sons friends just walk in a shoe her out of the way no problem, but If I get up she is aggressive. Waiting on something bad to happen and she will be put down

Does the dog just go apeshit, barking when someone rings the bell, or is the dog actually aggressive, physically? If the latter, you’d better put the fear of god into that dog when it happens moving forward, or you’re in for something bad.

I’ve got a good friend who invited me to be one of five parties to all go in together on an Italian rural property, not to rent it out to strangers at all but to each use it for ~1/5th of the year. Mildly interesting for around $100k initially and then an estimated annual $10-$20k for maintenance/upkeep/ taxes/repairs.

I’m trying to imagine the shite show this is going to present for these people’s heirs…
