Commercial Construction Pricing/Design
Posted by AUjim on 11/9/26 at 3:26 pm
For the sake of controlling variables, assume all finishes are the exact same.
We are looking to construct a 12,000 sq ft office building. We need this building to be attractive, but as cost effective/no frills as possible. Must be ADA compliant.
So - the real question. Are there significant savings to be had by building 2 floors (a rectangle on top of a rectangle) vs. a single floor? The major difference I know of would be the elevator, which is certainly costly....
In my head, I'm thinking a 6,000 sq ft foundation and a 6,000 sq ft roof would be more savings that than the cost of adding an elevator....but I'm not a general contractor or an architect. Just looking for some unbiased info. Thanks

shocker.

Can we still go down and walk through the locker room and out onto that small section of the end zone on Fridays before the game?
We use the tiered premium approach as well.
One of the main reasons is that to meet the definition and requirement of 'affordabilty' with salary ranges as wide as ours, we have to offer what are actually unreasonably and unsustainably low premiums for at least one of our plans. We can justify more heavy subsidy for our 12/hour employees, but dont have any reservation charging our big earners a full, reasonable premium that actually makes math sense.

North Georgia Spring Break - Golf, Quiet, Hiking, Fishing

Where's your best place in the N GA mountains - I'd like to stay away from huge crowds, but still have good local restaurants and maybe local shopping for the ladies.
We've been to blue ridge a couple times but pretty much nowhere else up there. Has to have golf within a reasonable driving distance and a brewery is always a hit with this crowd.

I'm not trying to get rich quick here-i like houses significantly better than playing in the stock market, have had some pretty good success in a few over several years, and there is a niche market in my area where it seems this is a good opportunity. Just never had the time or resources to do anything consistently.

a good ball can hurt you as bad as help you and a bad ball can help you as much as hurt you
Good/bad has to be defined as the right ball for your game, not how much it costs. If I slice the ever loving shite out of everything off the tee, I don't need to go out and buy a Callaway Chrome Tour X (being the highest spinning ball off the driver for mid-swing speed folks) even though they are a GREAT ball.
Anyone pretending that doesn't matter is just being silly.
Find a ball that fits you, and stick with it until you evolve past it. Newer players and high handicappers have to control every single variable they can and be able to predict as much as they can while they develop constistency. The ball absolutely matters.

I'm still pretty new to all this myself, but I have now gotten to where I absolutely notice the difference in ball characteristics - spin specifically.
The callaway supersoft and the wilson duosoft are well constructed, durable and cost-effective. They are incredibly low-spin off the driver, but they aren't going to check up very well on shots into the green.

Course recommendation around Lakeland, FL
Posted by AUjim on 6/15/26 at 9:26 am
I'm headed down there in a couple weeks for some work stuff and I'm looking to book a round or 2.
Don't need anything fancy. I can tolerate many things, but shitty, torn up greens is not one of them. Thanks for recommendations -

You're probably a bit too simpleminded to understand the actual point.
And we will be completely rebuilding next year due to the wonderful situation that is NIL.

Awesome match. Really cool to see one of the greatest of all time on our field.
BUT-the city and the university totally, completely failed at organizing-there were sections of streets closed, and no police presence to help with traffic flow before or after the match. We live about an hour from the stadium and used the transit service from one of the shuttle lots. We got on the bus @ 6:05 and were lucky to get in at the scheduled 7:30 start time

Arrcos vs. Shotscope vs. Anything Else
Posted by AUjim on 6/9/26 at 2:18 pm
I like the idea of having real, on course shot distance data - not hitting at the range.
What I don't like about arrcos is the annual subscription.
What I don't like about Shotscope is having to carry my phone or the other little device they have, or wearing a watch (i get antsy wearing the wrong shorts or shirt that is the least bit binding)
Anyone use either of these, or something else? I was using the 18 birdies app to track distances, but again, I don't want to fiddle with my phone.

re: Tuberville residency discussion

I believe he still owns the house
Except he didnt. That house is/was Tucker's house. Thats the one Tubbs added his name to the deed in 2024. The lake house sold (after many years being listed) in 2018. Both kids went to high school in texas. Its all out there as a matter of public record. Again, i'd rather have Tubs than anyone else that was in the primary, and any democrat, but this is messy.
I think the interesting thing here is that the law requires 7 years of residency leading up to qualification and thats where it gets murky due to his voting history and tax status. Unless he owns property in an LLC of some sort, there was certainly a break in time that he owned property in Alabama until he got his name added to a deed a couple years back.
I certainly am not rooting for Jones or any of the other republicans that were on the ballot, but this is messy.
