It's actually pretty easy if you have somewhere else to live while you do it

That is a big part of the "f*ck this for a joke" part. The place looks like 67 sixteen year old boys broke in and staged a mosh pit just mins before a bomb went off.

I'm sick and tired of living in rubble.

Done it twice

Both times were when I was younger (~10 and ~14) so I wasn't in charge of paying or planning, but I thoroughly enjoyed doing the work. Learned a lot about painting, electrical, plumbing, etc.

Taking a sledgehammer to walls and **** is pretty awesome too

I'm sure the destination will be worth the journey - but the journey can go and screw off.

Yeah it took us months to do it each time and I can definitely see how it would get tiresome after awhile.

On a somewhat related note, I'm about to go sit in a classroom for 9.5 hours just so I can get my CWP. I feel your pain!

RIP Dan Roundfield. If you have to go, dying while trying to save the love of your life is the best way to go. It is a tragedy, but thankfully she is still alive. RIP.

very sad. great player. he was on my retro team last year. kind of ironic, when i was coming up with categories for the scavenger hunt draft yesterday i decided on a category called "RIP" for players who are deceased (but rookie year was 1977 or after).

Looks like Howard is officially a Laker, come Friday morning. Glad he's out of our division.

Just something to watch as it developes. But this could become a huge problem for UNC. If they get popped by the NCAA for creating fake classes for athletes to keep their eligibility, they could be looking a monster sanctions. And expecially if this crosses over into multiple sports. Has a way to go yet, but this is starting to look very very ugly, especially for such a prestigious institution.
