Not opposed to consulting with my plumber.

As far as piping goes, all plumbing in the house was replaced after Katrina, so hoping there are no issues there.

Good call. I have been into LCR a few times and had great experiences.

Bathroom Renovation

Posted by tigerbater on 3/17/26 at 9:35 am
Looking for some direction here. I have two bathrooms I'd like to renovate. Scope would be as follows:

-remove old tile flooring and shower tile
-remove wall tile
-remove & replace stone vanity top
-remove/ replace tubs
-fabricate shower + glass

I plan to retain all plumbing as currently configured. My preference is to use my own plumber for the rough-ins. How would I go about getting a project like this done? I know of places in New Orleans (e.g. "Floor de lis" flooring) that do these projects but I'm not necessarily looking for a turn-key project. I have worked with a great GC who I would use again, but this does not seem large enough to warrant a GC. Any direction/recommendations are welcomed and appreciated!
Because people who actually listen to him are retards. Take a look at the Political Board for confirmation of this.

On the Southshore, Poa Annua sprouted weeks ago.
Glad to hear--really miss Toast. The place that opened there after Toast (Scramble) was quite awful.
Hamilton Khaki Field - there's quite a few in this collection.
Anyone have a good rec for a PT in the Walker / Denham area?

Preemergent + Rye Seed

Posted by tigerbater on 10/17/25 at 10:12 am
I'm looking to seed my Tiftuf Bermuda with Rye for the "winter" but would also like to apply granular preeemergent (dimension) in the next week or so. Has anyone done this combo with much success?
Most have average reviews at best. Avoid Nathan's Appliance Repair.

Really enjoy the fig old fashioned from Bouligny Tavern. La Petite Grocery has a great one as well.
Yes, I use the built in grinder. Note that for my BBE, I used a standalone (Baratza Encore ESP) grinder as I wasn't overly impressed with the integrated grinder.
I switched from the Breville Barista Express to a Delonghi Dynamica Plus for this reason (too much time) and have been very happy. I had it down to a science with my BBE (weighing & timing shots) but it became too time consuming with kids and the morning routine. I have been overly impressed with the Delonghi as it pull shots at the press of a button that are very close to the quality & consistency of the BBE, which took considerably more effort.

I caught mine on sale last year for around $1300.

re: Bistro Daisy. Any advice?

Really good spot that somehow stays off the radar. As others have said, you can't go wrong.
Rosedale is right by City Park.

You're also close to Blue Oak.

Cafe Navarre is also another decent option.
