Well we know damn well SD ain't going solar.

He'd rather pay more money than use what the sun gives us.

Btw - my old man didn't pay one penny out of pocket. I'll be looking into this after the Disney trip.

If sd had solar panels on his roof, he wouldn't have to worry about leaks.

I'll gladly go solar if you guys all want to pitch in

and make up for going green by buying an F250 diesel and rolling coal

Next excuse please

Roofer could tell where the damage was just from the outside. He said because of the pitch and location it was obvious where the leak was coming from. Said it was definitely wind damage. To fix the roof and bedroom ceiling he said it would be a few thousand. So it's covered and I just have to pay my deductible.

He's a big Eagles fan so we talked Birds. He hates Chip Kelly.

Good deal.

I'm a big fan of hardwood floors. Long story short, the winter before I bought my place a pipe downstairs busted because no one was living here and they didn't dewinterize. So they had the pipe fixed and installed the cheapest carpet they could find. It looks good enough but I hate it. Been saving here and there to pay for the floors. I'm going to install them myself. But here's the deal, I can't do traditional hardwood because I'm afraid my dog will scratch them up. So I'm going with these vinyl versions which are pet friendly. Anyone have any advice or experience with these

I'd install tile in a basement. If another pipe bursts or you get water ingress, tile will hold up much better than wood. You could get tile that looks like wood and heat it.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Agreed.

My buddy put in ceramic that looks like hickory and it's awesome

[SD]

It's not my basement it's my downstairs area living room/dining room/kitchen etc. those floors I posted are vinyl and are built to withstand damage. They're $4 a square foot for a reason.

I've never installed it and wouldn't because I have yet to see a fake wood/engineered floor, of any kind, that doesn't look and feel fake. 

I say, install wood and clip your dogs claws.
