    Ballpark cost to put in a basement egress.

    I did my own a couple years ago. It was probably around $1000-1200 for window, framing material, window well materials, and saw rental. Depending on window size, material quality, etc as stated above, you’re probably looking a $2000 for the lowest of the low end. Anything lower than that, I...

    Hinterland 2020 SPECULATION THREAD

    Caught them at a festival in Atlanta not long after A Deeper Understanding was released. They were fantastic and I would love this, but It seems extremely unlikely.

    Most furniture will fit through a 36” entry door. If you happen to be dealing with a 32” entry or a 28” interior door you might start running into some issues. Basically, at the very least you should be able to get almost anything through the front door. After that is where things get...

    Pretty sure he was referring to the top jamb that’s always attached to the side jambs on a pre-hung door. I don’t think he meant to actually pull the header out of the wall.

    All of this is the correct answer, though I would add that he’ll easily get his two inches if the door stop thickness is included in the jamb thickness + any shimmed space.

    At least she’s in good spirits about it. I don’t think I’d be capable of handling that situation with any sort of grace.

    Question internet in central Iowa

    I’ve had Mediacom in Ames for about 18 years. It is currently down, and goes out often for short periods, and sometimes extended periods. I have my own router. When it works the speeds are fine. In Des Moines I have Century Link. It is slow but way more reliable.

    Ashton Kutcher's failed promise to Iowans (Native Fund)

    He’s up in the Humboldt area near where he grew up. A lot of his people up there are ISU fans, alumni, and a couple former players, so I assume that’s why he’s at the games.

    Seeing Joseph in Iowa City tonight. Picked up tickets for Cold War Kids at The Waiting Room in Omaha in January. Seems like a tiny venue for them. Should be fun.

    Summer Concert Thread

    The Ben Folds/Violent Femmes show was pretty good. Getting there was kind of a mess on Fleur. As far as the venue goes, parking was fine. There was a giant line for ticketing. Could use a couple more ticket scanner and bracelet people. Beer tents were quick. Bathroom lines were reasonable. The...
