    Housing market

    In hindsight we bought at the perfect time Nov. 2019. We had looked through that summer and fall for a Des Moines metro home close enough to Ankeny to not make my wife’s commute more than 15 min, and I wanted at least 1 acre. Bought a house that needed a little bit of everything but was still...

    Anyone ever sourced wood from Liberty Hardwoods in Ankeny? Buddy of mine that is a shop teacher recommended them.

    Woodworkers Thread

    I was going to ask this too. Have a porch with a couple treated posts that were allowed to sit with dirt piled up on them above the footing. Rotted almost to the point that I can put a screwdriver through them. I bought two 8’ 4x4 treated posts last night for almost $50! Insanity

    Woodworkers Thread

    After the kitchen from my last post I completely gutted two bathrooms with the same layouts, but opposite sides. Built the vanities and tried my hand at pouring concrete countertops. Not perfect but a vast improvement from the dingy old bathrooms. Also did the tiling which has been fun since...

    Woodworkers Thread

    Figured I should participate in this thread by showing some of my pandemic projects. Moved into home needing some work late November of 2019. First area I worked on was the kitchen. Old layout had a peninsula setup with a breakfast nook beyond that made the space feel closed off and dark. The...

    I could type something but you pretty much nailed it. Good post.

    ***Official 2020-2021 Transfer Thread***

    I would welcome Grill if TJ thinks it’s a good fit and he wants to be here. The hardest part about turning a program around is getting your team to buy into the new culture you need to succeed. I have to imagine TJ would value Grill because he clearly believes in what his vision is for his...

    RECRUITING: Cyclones land Washington State transfer

    His stats are decent but he’s still developing so they could make another jump here. Love that we’re getting a transfer with P5 experience that has a reputation for high end effort. Has there been a team more in need of an infusion of effort than us the last two years? This is exactly what we...

    Jayden Nunn Decommits

    Let’s just say I’m working on my mute list today. If you can’t help but make assumptions and run with them when you know damn well that you aren’t in the loop and have next to no verifiable facts then that’s a you problem. It also means I shouldn’t waste my time reading your pathetic rants.

    Serious question: Are kids worth it?

    You know, I was warned that it would be impossible and that I was crazy to even attempt it. A year later and I’ve almost finished two bathrooms that were demolished down to the studs and rebuilt, all new flooring for the entire house, repainted everything, all new kitchen, window treatments, and...

    Serious question: Are kids worth it?

    Have a 9 month old and a three year old. My wife sometimes talks about wanting a third, but I sarcastically remark that if she wants that third it won't be with me. Remodeling a home on top of all the energy thats been required of me to be an equal partner and parent feels like its aged me at...

    TJ Otzelberger Hiring Press Conference

    He said they "formally" interviewed one candidate, the implication being that there were informal interviews.

    Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach

    I've had some time to let my thoughts settle and keep finding myself feeling optimistic about the hire. I won't get too hung up on the hiring process or speculating how many coaches Pollard interviewed. Anything focusing on that topic will be based on speculation at best, so really what's the...

    Report: T.J. Otzelberger headed for Iowa State

    All I can say is that I was pretty certain Prohm wasn’t the right man for the job about half way through year one, but I at least gave the man time to do his thing. Hell, I didn’t miss a home game his first two years. Those in here talking in negative absolutes are jumping the gun. People told...

    Steve Prohm says he'll meet with Jamie Pollard to discuss his future next week...

    I don’t think I’ll be watching one minute of basketball next year if he’s retained. **** that!

    Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

    If true, then you have to question what’s going on that he would want to run away from the program he’s built. Likely would be some scandal that comes out down the road and follows him here.

    Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

    What am I missing here? Why is Altman even being discussed? There’s a 0% chance he leaves Oregon for ISU.

    *** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

    On the upside, this is going to be a great opportunity for someone to swoop in and play hero just by making us average again. I knew it was going to be hard for anyone to come in after Fred left, and for the record I wasn’t a Prohm fan from the start, but even I didn’t see this depth of suck...

    Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

    I’ll just say it, what’s the big hate for TJ about? What the hell is so wrong with picking someone who’s qualified and actually wants to be here? I get that he doesn’t have a “can’t miss” track record, but who the **** does? Anyone on that very short list likely doesn’t want to be in Ames long...

    *** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

    I didn’t know there could be a stage beyond apathy, but I think I’ve found it. The pain feels good, and I think we somehow deserve the abuse. Prohm for life!
