Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Wish me luck y'all, concrete pouring day is here. Stressed. Calm before the storm right now.
Good luck, let us know how it went!
Done!!!!
Super pumped!!!! Came out fantastic.
Life is about to get much, much better for us.
I'm giddy frens. All that stress is gone. I did it. It's done.
I wish I could afford to pour concrete in my entire backyard. We live in Arizona. Everything is dirt rocks and cactus. Imagine moving to a place in having dirt rocks and cactus move to your front yard. It’s like moving to the beach in ordering sand. Lol
I’m happy for you! I hope you enjoy your poured concrete. It will bring many years of happiness to you. Whether you’re parking your car on it, or putting a porch or a patio over it, whatever they use. Concrete is wonderful.
Been staring at it for hours tonight.
Stoked.
Cabin building. Been in a camper way too long. This is the slab for our home. Long time in the works. Finally happening.
I believe your situation is worse than mine. Do you get big spiders or scorpions? I think If I saw them It would be embarrassing with all the screaming. I've lived in Eastern North Carolina all my life and before about ten years ago we could walk barefoot with out incident. Sand spurs and fire ants are all over our yard. I don't like spraying toxins in the yard but it's the only thing that keeps fire ants under control (until the next summer). They never die! I grew up here and walked barefoot as child. We never had sand spurs or fire ants. I've heard fire ants came in on construction pallets. Not sure about the sand spurs. I'm not near the beach, just sandy soil.
Holy Father, please bless u/eyerfighteye with the serenity, focus and determination he needs to achieve the success he desserves despite mistaking it for sheer luck.
Amen and top kek
