custom closets - worth the silent treatment?

i realize that, but the problem is, she had a designer come in and woo her with the real wood crap. when i shot that down and took her to lowes and home depot, those weren't up to par.

i guess the do-it-yourself kits do not "smell of rich mahogany."

i don't think you have to tell anyone here. closets aren't a place you spend a lot of time. they aren't usually seen by guests. there's no need for them to be anything more than whats needed. you've got me thinking of Goldie Hawn in Overboard.

am i a bad husband for telling my wife, "no, i will not pay $6,000 for someone to customize our closets?"

if i had $6,000 to piss away, it sure wouldn't be on a "custom closet."

do you concur?

You're a great husband for that... We can not let these women control us or our wallets. Welcome to the club sir. You will make a fine addition. Here's your t-shirt.

I observed a very high end home being built for a project while I was at school. The custom builder just built them their own closets. The closet contractors are really expensive, really not worth the premium.

you want something that's sturdy. Don't get some cheap thing with veneer. Get solid wood and use something with sturdy finishings. You can trim it with some of the smaller 1" trim pieces you can find at any home center.

It's pretty simple stuff especially if your used to doing little projects around the house.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
