No basements or cool rooms in Houston.

They have a dealer right down the street from me (from favorite home store)! I don't really have a place to put it undercounter. Is there something special about this company? Some of those look very nice. Any favorites?

Can you get them in the US?

Free standing

Now that I have a house with a bunch of room, I would like to get a wine/beer fridge. Thinking about getting the Wine Enthusiast 11 or 165 version fridge. Any suggestions? I would like something that is relatively quiet and lasts a while, even if it costs more. http://www.wineenthusiast.com/wine-enthusiast-classic-wine-cellar-(111-bottle).asp

Happy Birthday!

Bought some boxes and packing tape to start the moving process. Fuck I hate moving but it'll be worth it once I get moved in. Lots of room for HCers!

That looks pretty fucking awful and I've had some bad brisket!

Yay for the new computer! Sorry about the stand though; how in the world did they happen???

At the everything cherry place.

Please save some for me, the jam, not the stuff from the septic tank.

I am not too worried. There will something in the future.

Well, decided to terminate my contact after the inspection. Did lose some time and money but thinks its the right decision. There will be cool houses in the future.

Congratulations!

Sorry guys! Today was a bit of craziness - trying to get all the finances in order as I wasn't expecting to do this, and certainly not this quickly! I thought I posted here but I guess not. The inspection is tomorrow at 1pm. Hopefully all goes well. If so, the closing is on August 15. Yikes!

Happy birthday Birgir!

Happy birthday Mike!

You can't expect me to furnish the place on my own. I'm good at buying Birkenstocks, Smartwool socks, cargo shorts and anything else they sell at REI but furniture is something I shouldn't be allowed to purchase on my own. Will need Steve's help with that.

Made an offer on this place. Went to visit it and fell in love with it and it's in a great location. The kitchen is amazing - a cook's dream - the island is the size of a bed. High ceilings on each floor, quartz countertops, walnut cabinetry, Bertazzoni gas cooktop/oven, tons of storage, and a really great "gameroom" with a room deck off of it, to use as an office. Feeling excited and nervous! http://www.har.com/2640-westgate-st/sale_71844848

Happy birthday Greg!

Not at all but I rarely plug anything into a USB port on my laptop. The battery life isn't quite as good as an ipad but it is solid and doesn't take that long to charge. I can certainly go a whole day without charging but haven't really paid attention. The new Macbooks are supposed to have a battery that last 35% longer. Also, when I got mine, I got the slightly faster m5 version for what its worth. There is also a multiport adapter you can get but I haven't felt the need to get one.

Missed Al's post. If you want to do typing, get the 12" Macbook. Super light and small with a real keyboard plus fast enough for anything I need to do on the road! I use it all the time at work and in coffee shops and never need anything faster. The keyboard takes time getting used to but I actually prefer it now. Ordered a new iMac 27", 4.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 32GB RAM, Radeon Pro 580 with 8GB of VRAM, and 512GB SSD (for those times when I need something a bit faster than the Macbook). Also, got the new ipad pro in the mail today. Excited to open it up.

Looking to get a single portable induction cooktop since I am tired of cooking on the crappy electric stove in my apartment. I have several cast iron pans that I use so there should be no problem switch. Anyone have any suggestions? Do a quick look, there seems to be the HC version (at $1,800) but maybe I don't need quite that much precision. It is very tempting though! https://www.brevilleusa.com/collections/commercial/products/the-control-freak?variant=34041893841 There is also one for $60 that they recommend here: http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-portable-induction-cooktop/

Just ordered the new 10" ipad pro, looks sweet! I have the 12" ipad pro and always want it to be a little smaller. Happy they finally have the new iMacs out. I'll be ordered one soon.
