I work with contractors all day long, if I'm asking for quotes, I try to get 3 and then go with the middle price. If there's a huge gap between the lowest quote and the others, then either the contractor missed something, or they are desperate for work. Too high then they usually don't want the job and are pricing themselves out.

I don't think hanging drywall is tooooo challenging, I think the taping and mudding makes all the difference and that's where you shouldn't cheap out.

+1 any good taper should be able to make a crap board job looks superb, not to toot my own horn but I have done some pretty hairy stuff to cover up sh*tty boarding. Painted ceilings were always my specialty and favorite thing to do, even though there is a ton of work involved getting it right, most contractors use those big rotary sanders for walls and ceilings, I would sand every square inch by hand, as the result would always speak for itself, not to mention in doing it by hand it gives you the opportunity to feel for high or low spots that need to be feathered out :)

now I miss taping.. damn you

I met the sweetest man today, did a car inspection for my daughter, she told him he reminded her of her grandpa - my dad and he so did! He also lives on the same street I grew up on, could see my old house from his place and he actually remembered my dad doing wood work in our garage 20 years ago....hmmmm. Sometimes you meet people who just make you smile.

I'm the new "Bad guy" on nano-reef.com for suggesting live rock be used over dry, just cause of the fact that its not oh I dont know "fossilized"... and now I get bash for taking away from living reefs and "how could live rock ever compare to dry rock that has been seeded with microbacter"..

I just suggested that a tank with no live rock will lack biological filtration to hold normal bioloads for a while, not that dry rock was the devil or something, you'd think I committed blasphemy in a church or something..

10 posts later its still Quote"kenny" said this...what an idiot. -.-

oook enough about that.

now I remember why I am on Canreef, you people have sense..(most of you) ;)

[reefgirl189]

now I miss taping.. damn you

You and I, sir, are of a totally different breed. Don't get me wrong. I love mudding and I even love putting on the tape. I HATE the sanding part. Rotary sanders sand too quickly and it's to easy to take off to much so I prefer by hand but it just makes such a mess. I'm a very artistic person and love working with my hands but I have to really try to be good at mudding and taping. I can however paint until the cows come home.

I have whole 2400 sq foot basement you are more than welcome to mud and tape for me Ken!

Ugh, tell me about it... Superstore is *usually* the cheapest place to get them. Wholesale club will have sales every once in awhile for 25% off and when they do I usually stock up.

Thank goodness my 2 1/2 year old is well on the way to being pottytrained. Just can't trust him overnight yet. I'm hoping for at least 3 months diaper-free this year.

[Nano]

my wife found this website for coupons and everything is like a 2 for 1 or $10+ off kinda thing, and so my mom and dad each signed up for it too, and diapers are like dirt cheap since :) formula too

why cant they make a coupon site for SW supplies and corals

Disclaimer
I would only use them at my LFS :lol:

Can't sleep - stupid sump ( or stupid designer )
I may be ripping my sump plumbing apart again ....
Waaayy too much noise from PVC and Spa flex clamped to the wall
I'm sooo close to replacing the in-sump accessory 1262 with some Eheim compacts and run individual vinyl hose to each accessory

I'd sure like to start focusing on the DT some time soon :neutral:

[jorjef]

I really get bitchy when I can't find the corals I want to buy...This time of year always seems to suck..

[gregzz4]

So I'm thinking about epoxying and curing some of the new LR in either the NSW or QT tank, and I'm thinking I'll have to do it in 2 stages as the 20g tanks are too short ....
My wife asks "Why don't you use that empty 36g bowfront downstairs ?"
:doh:

I'm off to clean it out and fill it up

went to the Dr's this morning for results on a test I had done from some pain I have been having in my shoulder, in a birthmark I have had since a baby, in the past year it has nearly tripled in size, Dr looked concerned when he arrived, and said "we need to get you booked to start surgery on having this removed. Your results came back, and it is Malignant Melenoma"


Great.. 2 surgeries scheduled over the next 4-6 months.. Not the news I had hoped for, but at least its able to be controlled as its nothing super serious like brain cancer or something..

aye carumba..

edit, I guess the main thing is to stay positive, and know I got lucky as it could be worse, just was kind of a hard hit..

Nano,

Very sorry to hear about your cancer. My sister-in-law found out on Boxing Day that she has breast cancer but she stayed very positive and we all did a lot of praying about it. So far so good. Hope you are able to keep a positive outlook on life even with this huge setback. Good luck my friend.

just saw the coolest thing in my tank! i thought it was micro bubbles at first, but upon closer inspection, swarms of copepods all over the water column in the DT.. I couldn't figure out where they had all came from, then I spotted a hermit crab cleaning his shell out, each time he cam out he would use his hind legs to sweep out the shell and huge amounts of pods would come swimming out, it looked like a swarm of mosquitoes almost lol. very neat! I never realized that they would breed inside a hermits shell before?! all the fish are super happy eating some fresh all natural food! :)

anyone else ever seen this before?

Ya I moved my cowfish from my 80g (was starting to get a bit big for the 80g) to my 230g reef a few months ago and I started loosing some heads on my torch coral, thought maybe it was from being in to much flow (added a stronger powerhead) so I moved the torch over to my fowlr tank (ironically no fish in there pick at it) and it seems to be ok, only lost 3 heads out of 15ish. The one duncan was receding so I moved it to the 80g and it seems fine now. I left the other duncan in the reef to see if my new angel picked on it and was surprised to catch my cowfish picking on it! Moved it over to Doug's 260g and it seemed to be perking up after awhile, hopefully it will be ok.

Hmmmm..... I have had quite a good amount of wobbly pops this evening now I feel like rearranging the rock work.... My sober me is saying NO! Lol.. that's my random thought right now

[MMAX]

Anybody besides me wonder what the hell Jay Feaster was doing last night at the NHL draft? Don't get me wrong, I absolutly hate Calgary but trading his #14 pick down to 21st just to pick up a second rounder??? To top that off choosing Mark Janowski??? And then his comments after the pick saying he believes Janowski was the #1 pick in this draft and he stole him away from everybody. Seems to me Feaster is managing the Flames right into the ground. It's very comedic to say the least.

So... I got my first speeding ticket for going 102 in a 90km zone.... My questions is.... If he fills out the wrong year of vehical and doesn't get me to sign the ticket, do I still have to pay it as it says it must be signed?! It's funnny, I acutally thought I was doing the speed limit.

Lol that's the plan atm. Gotta cut out some egg crate and make a larger one. 2 rows wider and probably 6-8 longer. Hopefully this temporarily solves my sts. (small tank syndrome)

this damn rain needs to stop! my tank has essentially not been evaporating anything for some time now... it's clear that the majority of my cooling is evaporative. :neutral:

[Delphinus]

OMG this rain DOES need to stop!!! My house is sitting at 85% humidity. The air heavy and wet and just generally unpleasant all around. No idea what to do about it either, increasing ventilation is only going to replace the air-that-is-too-wet with more air-that-is-too-wet. I am afraid of mildew systemically throughout the house at this point.

Kind of looking like at least another week of rain ahead as well.

What a real pleasant June it has been. :(

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

We finally have a couple days of sun after a rainy, cloudy, hail-y May and June.

[Nano]

so I finally hit 250 subs on youtube lol, took about 6 months. (give or take)

so up until now, I have basically just been keeping a video journal of the tank, and have now decided to add some content to the channel, as google recently monetized my channel for having 25,000+ views (I have about 40,000 now 3 weeks later)

So this may seem lame to all yous folk, but If anyone is interested, I am thinking of doing a TOTM on my youtube, basically just submitting a video to me, people vote which they like best, and then that tank is featured on my Channel for the month. no big prizes lol, just an Idea I thought I'd shoot out there. PM me if interested..

Some nights it gets a bit cool, but it seems to help
Although, I too have noticed my evaporation stall this last week or so

well my idea for my youtube channel is in motion, got 6 videos sent to me lastnight, so at this rate there should be a good amount of tanks on my channel for this contest by july 12th when voting will start :) getting some really positive feed back on the idea thus far!

hope you all stop by to vote! (july 15th-25th) couple of really nice nanos so far, and a 40g breeder. so far all led lighting which is nice to see

Also, I'm thinking the tank is old enough to add a clam now. I just don't know if it's too risky for the clam with the copperband butterfly being in there. Anyone keep these two species together successfully?

Can u still get mat leave that close?

[Coralgurl]

Congrats on the new job!!!

I think you still get EI as its dependent on your hours worked during the period up to your leave regardless of where or how many jobs. Its up to the company whether they will hold your position for when you return. We hired a girl who hid she was pregnant when hired, after a month said she was 5 months and the company had to bring her back in the same capacity. Funny thing is she never contacted the company about returning and was eventually let go.

Reefgirl, if they hired you knowing you are preggers, I'm sure they will bring you back after if you plan on returning to work.

I'll have a drink to celebrate for you!!

[reefgirl189]

Can u still get mat leave that close?

Yes, absolutely. Maternity leave is payed out to you by the government. It works very similar to EI. You (general you) need roughly 630 hours accumulated within the year prior to your leave to qualify. Like EI, the government will pay out a certain percentage of the monthly wage you were taking home prior to your leave, with the maximum being around $1800.00 per month or so I think.

IMO that woman was very rude. I feel like if you are up front and honest with your employer from the start it will work out for you much more favourably.

When my new employer hired me on the spot during the interview I politely stopped him and let him know that before we get to that point I wanted to let him know I was expecting. Funny guy, he looked at me and said, "Expecting what? A baby?" The smart+++ in me wanted to say, "No, I'm expecting to make more than whatever they're paying you!". Luckily I managed to keep my mouth shut, lol. He then took a moment to think about it and said, "That's okay, we were going to hire you anyway". Cool, now I don't have to look like a douchebag when I tell you a week after I start that I'll be leaving in 4 months.

I wasn't even going to apply anywhere else as I like the work I'm doing now and I don't like bouncing around all over the place when it comes to employment. I prefer to get comfortable somewhere and stick around, especially while pregnant. Who wants to switch jobs for just a few months anyway? The problem is things have gotten very strange around here and there's a reason I built up the courage to apply elsewhere in my present condition. It was either quit or switch jobs, you know?

Anyway, enough about that... Have three drinks for me, girl! I'll just sit over here with my shirley temple :mrgreen:.

Now I gotta pull this bugger apart tomorrow and see if its broken. In the mean time if it is in fact buggered, let me know if you have a tunze 9002 you would part with. :sad: not happy about this.

Extra real estate is awesome and just can't see a lot of it due to microbubbles...Damn skimmer a have a few frags waiting to be placed tho.

Caught a little frog today, fed it to the tank! Fish loved it and the corals are happy to have fresh food :biggrin:

I'm very P.O'd!! Have had hiccups for 2 days... happens a few times a year to me.. Yeah yeah, laugh.. but they hurt after a few hours. Didnt go into work today.. no way I could talk with patients like this

A large (Tbsp) spoonful of white sugar makes them go away. Not as easy to swallow all at once as you'd think but works every time.

The Canadian military tank on display at the Stampede this year ate my work cell phone. Bumped it off my belt at the hatch and it fell all the way down to the floor and underneath the turret turning gear. The only way to get it now, I'm told by the Sergeant of the troop who was there, would be to lift the 26-tonne turret off the vehicle base. I'm guessing I won't be seeing my phone back.

You could hear a cheerful little ring tone coming out from under the floor when you call the phone.

I can't wait to explain this one to my IT department ...
