But that's just me... :ugh2:

But that's an easy fix. Peel off and reapply plus you get another mod fix :bowrofl:

Lol! For my Texas buddies :tup: ;)

Hi Gale :hello:

Family Day? Is that a Canadian holiday? It's President's Day here... which I think celebrates both Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays without actually falling on one of them :ugh2:

Yes, the Ontario government recently (2008) introduced Family Day. It's only purpose is for teachers and bank employees to have another day off. :shakes head:

Davey 02-18-2013 08:44 AM

:hello:

Not much new here... Gonna be nice and warm today. Looking forward to getting the Z out soon.

I pulled all my HVAC grates out for the contractor to sandblast & paint (they're old heavy-duty steel ones and they're a little crusty) and they've got my hallway painted, a little more tile done in the bathroom and they finished out the trim around the new glass block window.

The dust and mess is annoying me and I'm ready for it to be done... Hopefully end of this week they'll be getting close. :ugh2:

They call that divorce dust. Stay strong Davey!

LMBmikeZ 02-18-2013 08:56 AM

:rofl2: divorce dust I like it!

I am lucky for the most part my wife leaves the renos up to me. Which is nice we don't end up getting mad at each other, it's just me swearing alone in another room if something F's up

:icon18: :icon18: :icon18:

I actually know a guy that had his entire downstairs (<1000sf) down to studs and foundation within a month of purchasing a house. It took him over a year to do everything he wanted, and he and his wife were living in it the entire time. Five years later they're still together and looking for a new house (they've got a baby now, so looking for move-in ready). Unfortunately, all the work he put in doesn't really add much value to his house. He's going to be capped by the neighborhood and location property values around him.

:tup: :tup: Usually, I just give the wife two budgets: the quick, expensive pay-someone-else option; and my inexpensive, might-take-a-lot-longer-than-you-think DIY option. She usually goes for the DIY budget cause she knows I won't stand for shoddy work, I have or have access to most any tools needed, and I'm not afraid to turn it over to the professionals (personal friends) if it gets to that point.

That is exactly what I moved out of, an old war time home that needed full reno. I ended up doing good on it because the housing market has held up here in canada and my property actually increased over the 5 years I lived there. Plus I got it at a good price from the ORIGINAL OWNER and did the necessary updates to help get the price up.

Now I live in a new build and love it :tup: house is way nicer and now I have a garage. Went from no garage to a 2 car garage :happydance:

We're talking about a $1000 price difference here! I got the Mark II.
It was actually an easy purchase to make after flipping the 7D.

I'll get the Mark III when the Mark IV comes out :icon17:

I have been debating the upgrade from my 7D to the 5D Mk III. I cannot yet rationalize a 3,000 dollar purchase. I am working on it though, so don't worry.

That was my issue, too. I could do a lot with that money.
Stay tuned for an update of what I think of my switch so far.

WHOOPS!!!

That Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM I bought two weeks ago is a crop sensor lens.
It makes one hell of a vignette on a full frame body!
Hmmm... What to do with a nice fast lens that's only two weeks old? (cough-buyitblackcherry20-cough)
