Handyman or Business Person?

Ms3r4ISU
We've lived in our home for nearly 17 years and have done some renovating, adding on and roof/door/window replacement over that time. We worked with three different people for these jobs (first went to work for someone else, second is either retired or not doing this work anymore, third is retired) and now need someone or some people to do complete re-siding/gutter, dirt work to take care of compaction and wrong slope, and perhaps some new patio work.
While it would be great if you have worked with reputable folks in the Ames area and want to share your stories, what I'm more interested in now is whether you think it's money better spent with an individual handyman/person or self contractor with a personal touch and reputation to uphold OR a larger company who can do it all, probably faster and maybe less costly, but not as much of a personal touch?

Thoughts on Loofahs

JM4CY
I was recently encouraged to use a loofah in the shower to prevent unnecessary excess use of shower gel in there. I hope I am not in the minority in thinking that: because I do not have lady parts, I, therefore, am not qualified to use such a device in the shower. Pour shower gel in hand, apply to head, pits and other places, rinse and dry. It is not difficult. Thank you.

**Cap City 2019 Thread**

S
Draft is tomorrow, should be a fun summer with all the newcomers to the roster. Guessing the FIBA team could be a conflict for Haliburton, but otherwise, with 2 max per team, that still leaves you have a full leagues worth of scholarship guys for ISU.

Which begs the question, with Haliburton probably overseas with U19, what's your mocks look like?

QB Completion Percentage

cymonw1980
Thought this was interesting... QB's with the best completion percentage in Iowa State history (min 100 attempts) top four are all Matt Campbell guys:

Kyle Kempt 66.7%
Brock Purdy 66.4%
Zeb Noland 60.2%
Jacob Park 60.2%

No other QB in ISU history has broken 60% for their career (min 100 attempts). Not that comp% is the only factor.... but thought it was crazy that the 4 starting QB's CMC has brought in have been the 4 most accurate passers in ISU history.

2019 Concert Thread

Angie
I can't find the old thread - hope it's okay if I start a new one.

Post all of your concerts here!

We're getting tickets tomorrow presale for Violent Femmes/Ben Folds:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ben-folds-violent-femmes-tickets-57636703933

I had tickets for the Femmes up at First Ave a million years ago, drove all of the way up there. Find out that Gordon cancelled last minute w/a sore throat, so First Ave gave us tickets to the club instead for that night for free. I've always wanted to see them. And Ben Folds is fun.

Essential Household Items

cycopath25
Help me compile a list of essential items you always make sure you have backups of in your house. Mine currently are: Toilet paper, toothpaste, and deodorant. (This post may be related to a recent marital discussion) The wife recent chastised me for asking her to pick up deodorant for me immediately upon opeing my back up. She also can't understand why I would want multiple back up deodorants in the storage closet.

Favorite movies that predate you

Cyched
Reading some of the favorite movies thread, and got me thinking. Which movies do you like that came out before you were born?

My list:
1. Animal House
2. Christmas Vacation
3. Hoosiers
4. Caddyshack
5. Shawshank (this came out when I was 3, but I was too young to know about it until later so I counted it)

If you’re an old fart, any classic movies will do ;)

What are yours?
