That is weird... I was just posting in that Philly thread wondering where Johnny Rockets was at...

 

 

I thought Zod took care of your "plumbing"...?

I'm trying to stay out of those discussions.....it's not worth my effort. I was actually on a two week vacation from pretty much everything including this place. Some R & R and a trip up to see the family in Philly/South Jersey around the holidays.

Coincidentally, I went on Angies List today and am going to use Rapid Rooter to cleans some pipes as they have great reviews :)

I was just looking at Angie's list and was wondering if it was worth it. Guess I can't go wrong for $14 and give it a try for a month.

 

I seem to have connections in about every service field except for one....plumbing.

I would highly recommend NOT using Angie's list. Before I elaborate, allow me to make my qualifying statements:

  • I interviewed and hired subcontractors for two major home improvement companies
  • I was a licensed home inspector and conducted real estate home inspections for prospective buyers and energy efficiency audits 
  • I was a hired consultant for major renovation and home improvement projects
  • I spent the last 17 years in the home improvement industry

Anyone who uses Angie's List has to pay a subscription rate, including contractors. Therefore, the only contractors you have any access to on Angie's List are those that paid for the site to carry them. This immediately eliminates at least 80% of the contractors available to you.

 

Here is my recommendation: go to your local Lowe's, Home Depot and Ferguson's Plumbing and ask them who they would recommend. Here's the reason- all of those places I mentioned who use subcontractors to do installation work require them to carry a ridiculous amount of insurance including liability, criminal background checks on all of the employees, a legitimate state contractor's license, etc.

 

Look and see if there's a Re-Bath franchise in your area. Among everything else, get at least 3 estimates in your home and spend some time talking to these people. Nothing is a better judge than your meeting these people face to face.

Just wait for those guys that drive around with some wood in a pickup and stop at your house asking if you need some work done. They do real good work. Make sure to pay them up front in full. They work faster that way.

 

Or the guys who will tell you they have leftover driveway sealer and will give you a great deal to coat your asphalt....

You have to pay to use Angies List? And anybody can pay to be listed?

 

My kids used to bring that "Who's Who" crap home from school that said, basically, that you had to pay to be in there. I told them that was some stupid poo. This appears to be along the same lines.

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
