Look into Beaufort, SC rather than Charleston.

We’re full too, sorry

In all seriousness, Beaufort is a great little coastal town.. we love it. Lived in Bluffton, SC outside of Hilton Head for the last 12 years and just moved to Beaufort about 2 months ago.

I work at a pretty large company. Last year, a guy I didn’t know sent an email to a large portion of the company that only said:

“The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts;
he made water flow for them from the rock;
he split the rock and the water gushed out.”

This is from Isaiah 48, but he sent it with zero context, and it wasn’t followed up by any explanation. I’m a Christian and all about the Word, but I quickly looked him up in the directory to make sure we didn’t work in the same building just in case…

JV basketball playing at our in town rival. 2nd half tip off comes straight to me, I run straight to the opposing teams basket for a wide open layup.. and missed. Which somehow made it worse

Coach made me physically point to our basket at the start of each half the rest of the year.

If it’s been under 60 this winter, we’ve had a wood fire burning… love the smell and ambiance, very relaxing for some reason.

Make sure the flue is open and clear. You can also light a piece of news paper to make sure you’re getting good airflow and the smoke will go up the chimney, not into the room

ETA: this was our first year in this house, so we did have the chimney cleaned before first use.

Stayed at the Grand Hyatt for a few days and was pleasantly surprised by the city overall. Beer was expensive but work was buying!

Q: is there any particular reason not to (or you why you specifically didn't) knock out the sheetrock to recess it some into the wall?

---

You might be able to tell in the first picture - the room already had a little bump out wall to separate our bedroom door so it was already a “setback” space if you will. Also, with stud locations and everything in the wall, I’m not sure how we would have handled placement anyway.. plus you’d only be able to go back the width of the wall. I actually put 1x4”s behind everything attached to studs so I would have something to screw to/shim as needed

How far apart are the shelves, 11-12 inches? Why didn’t you add horizontal face frames to the front of each shelf, maybe a tad wider than shelf thickness?

---

Yeah, they are about 11 inches apart. They aren’t all the exact same as we just used the preset bookshelf holes so they are still removable. In retrospect I would have permanently installed the shelves exactly where I wanted them by screwing through the sides of the bookshelves, but it worked out ok.

We went back and forth on framing the front of the shelves. I’d like it to be a little thicker but we were worried about it causing an awkward lip on the shelves that would catch when you put books in or out, or look weird when a book is sitting lower than the face of the shelf if that makes sense. We figured we could always go back and add it if we wanted.

That's really neat. How did you get those arches?

---

Used a Circle Guide and cut them out of plywood. Took a little bit of mathing but we got there

Spent a good bit of time in the 17 grandstand yesterday as well. Neal Shipley came as close to a hole in one as I’ve seen.. and then it ran off the back like several others.. brutal

I was at a church youth retreat. Two of the leaders came up that evening and sang “knocking on heavens door” in Sr’s honor.

Grew up near Rockingham and going to the races pretty often. Rockingham was the next week and they were letting fans sign his merch trailer. Wonder what they ever did with that..

Yeah, but I think they just ran out of gas. It's the most logical explanation.

The crew would have known they were low and declared an emergency much earlier and gotten priority to Naples or another airport. Haven’t heard any reports they signaled distress until just before the crash and the flight track certainly doesn’t seem to indicate anything out of the ordinary.

Crew error doesn’t seem likely either - hard to mistakenly shut off both engines instead of lowering the gear or flaps.

My guess is a fuel system/contamination issue, but speculating at this point doesn’t do much good. NTSB should have plenty of data to review.

Wow.. amazing anyone made it out. Looks like the crew are the 2 deceased. RIP

I work in the industry and have spent a lot of time in many different jets. Flew on a G700 round trip across the country. Amazing airplane - still finishing FAA certification and projected to deliver this year.

Bru there is no live CAS range around here that A-10s are dropping on

Moore County representing in this thread

This wasn’t in..recent years. Back when Pope was an AF base, lots of brrrr from the A10s. Is there anything but helos out there anymore?

40 miles qualifies as right down the road in Carolina.

Ft Bragg is also huge.. my parents house in Southern Pines is a stones throw to training areas for Delta/Special Ops. I grew up playing in our street with the sound of automatic gun fire, A-10s dropping ammunition, and helicopters shaking the walls

It’s actually very walkable and a great place to watch golf. But it’s in the middle of nooooowhere. The town I live in is the closest “real town” with hotels, restaurants etc, and we are every bit of 45-50 min away. Savannah is over an hour. Just tough to get people out there, even with a strong field.

Rumor around here is the owner really going after a Ryder cup or some other big time tournament long term. The logistics of that would be challenging.
