AD · Post #2102 by AD » Tue Jan 22, 2019 1:52 pm

I may buy a house.

AD · Post #2103 by AD » Mon Jan 28, 2019 11:27 am

Yes. About a 3 minute drive (10-15 minute walk) from the venue we go for our romantic escapades.

Is this for you or your 28 year old mistress?

AD · Post #2105 by AD » Tue Jan 29, 2019 9:46 pm

Mistress? I'm a free man MP.

Inspected probable new house today.

Had forgotten how unstressful renting is.

AD · Post #2109 by AD » Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:00 am

I don't know!

:why:

Me new place has 2 neighboring yards that have a slope towards my right foundation wall.

They slope!!

:why:

AD · Post #2110 by AD » Mon Feb 11, 2019 12:53 pm

Apparently there's a drain at the lowest point. And it connects to city drain. So there's a water evacuation strategy. But with the ice and snow, I couldn't see it. But then with this much ice and snow, is the drain effective enough to evacuate almost 3 yards worth of water during spring rains? Or will water accumulate at certain spots on the sides of the foundation and damage?

Stay tuned.

:why:

AD · Post #2111 by AD » Mon Feb 11, 2019 1:15 pm

I will beat the water, dog. I will. I will fight it and beat it.

Like a city storm sewer intake? If so you should be OK. I'd look at shoveling the thing out, or knowing where it is so you can clear it if necessary.

AD · Post #2113 by AD » Tue Apr 09, 2019 1:10 pm

Weber or Napoleon grills?

Choose one for me. 3 burners. No side burner please.

Not a big budget. 800-1000

Craig · Post #2114 by **Craig** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 1:25 pm

I have this guy, and no complaints at all: https://www.weber.com/CA/en/grills/gas- ... tml?cgid=8

I have no comparison point though.

AD · Post #2115 by AD » Tue Apr 09, 2019 2:02 pm

That's exactly the one I almost just bought.

But I'm asking you gents first.

Craig · Post #2116 by **Craig** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 2:04 pm

It's nice. You won't be disappointed with it.

Also, eat a sausage on a hamburger bun.

AD · Post #2124 by AD » Tue Apr 09, 2019 4:15 pm

That doesn't look like a lot of grilling surface

AD · Post #2125 by AD » Tue Apr 09, 2019 4:16 pm

12ish burgers at a time?

Craig · Post #2126 by **Craig** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 4:18 pm

Could probably do 18-24. Two columns of 3-4 burgers per burner.

Boring Choice #2 · Post #2127 by **Boring Choice #2** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 7:22 pm

I wish I could help, but I ended up going with the keep your current grill until next year option. Now it is next year and I have to go through the process again.

Cuz otherwise you took the size thing on the memory of a guy who can't visualize.

I looked at.. the dimensions.. on the specs sheet. Looks fine.

I too will be doing new a grill this summer. Will likely go the natural gas route as my propane cylinders are all expiring...

Want mine? Depending on the new house, I might have a natural gas grill for sale. I'm sure I'll be heading to Kingston eventually, I could deliver.

We have the same BBQ, greg!

Except, of course, mine is the version qui splogue sla maison.

Craig · Post #2136 by **Craig** » Wed Apr 10, 2019 10:01 am

I need help with splogue sla. Plugs into the house? Like natural gas?

Yes, I saw its long tube dangling out.

Dog · Post #2141 by **Dog** » Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:15 am

Actually, looking back at it, that’s not the one I have. Mine is a Genesis thingamajig. Like $200 more. I forget what for.

Craig · Post #2142 by **Craig** » Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:15 am

Then why'd you say except?

Dog, I'm so confused. Do we have the same grill or not?

Because I didn’t think you had natural gas.

So it seems like we both have natural gas weber grills, but mine is a genesis thingamajig and costs $200 more and I don’t remember the difference. Probably a little bigger.

Dog · Post #2144 by **Dog** » Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:22 am

I have this one.

Same model, different generations. I'm Genesis, you're Genesis II.
