Anyone have some names for concrete and a little irrigation work in Lafayette?
Posted by NOLAGT on 4/29/25 at 2:28 pm
Looking to get some numbers on a project in the back yard. It involves about 1000-1300sqft of concrete and moving/capping a few irrigation heads and adjusting 2 topside drains a cpl feet. I'd like to find someone that does both so there is no finger pointing if something isn't done right lol.
Anyone have some companies I can call? :cheers:

Update on this. Picked up one of these scanners and it fits the bill 100%. Fast and scans images as good as they need to be for my purpose. I am doing some mid 70s pics and the auto enhancement makes a big difference. No idea how many I have to scan but several thousand for sure. :cheers:

How to BBQ right AP (or just a SPG AP type) and a good lick of smoked paprika. Butter in a cast iron on med heat and cook about 3-4 min a side and get a nice crust.

Like others said, nope.
If you are looking for something different to do with LO tails I just did this for the first time and it was fantastic on top of a green salad.

re: Large Banjo Burners for Crawfish Boil?
Posted by NOLAGT on 3/24/25 at 11:28 am
I would personally keep the banjo burners for cooking stuff like your jambalaya and use a jet style for boiling but a banjo would work.
I see this said in almost every crawfish boil rig post. Does everyone leave as soon as the eat crawfish or something? I use a 120qt high performance triple jet rig that is loud but will boil the water in 6 min and re-boil in a minuet or less once I drop the crawfish. We still visit and drink cold ones before during and after the cooking is done I just don't have to add 30min to a hour of cook time because the pot is slower to heat.

I never understood the need for speed when boiling. I prefer a little longer wait times. We have guest over and sit down while enjoying a cold one.

re: Landlords - how often do you raise your rents?
Posted by NOLAGT on 3/16/25 at 10:18 am
Youngsville rentals here and im getting 1200 for some 2/2s. I do well enough that I don't have to raise the rent on current tenants. When its empty I will adjust the rent if need be. I have some long term renters that are getting a great rate. While I am missing out on some money I am also not having to chase them for rent, cleaning between tenants, and relisting all the time. If I needed to adjust to make my numbers works I would but I/they are lucky I don't have to at this time.
Big factor and why I don't mess with it while I have someone in a unit. You raise rent 100/month to gain a extra 1200/year on a 1200/month unit and your tenants decide to move out. You go one month of vacancy after that and you blew your extra cash flow.

I try to make mine with the rendered fat of the protein im putting in the dish. I started making my C&S gumbo using schmaltz (chicken fat) and its been a big hit. Its harder to get enough chicken fat than the others but you can buy a tub of it off amazon.

re: Yoder Smokers - Anyone have any experience with these?
Posted by NOLAGT on 3/11/25 at 11:45 am
Also take a look at lonestargrillz.com/. What I like about them is they claim their auger design allows for actual wood chips they sell to be run in conjunction with the pellets offering a closer to offset smoker experience. I do not have one but if I were buying one it would probably be from them at this point. Yoder are nice too.

Epson makes an autofeed one
I checked out one they have, im assuming its the same one you got for around $500 FF-680W? That sure looks like a fast option if so. It really scans that fast and has good quality? I would spend that much sending it off to someone to do it im sure.
