I hear you Al. I've had to learn how to do a great many things because so called professionals are usually all about the money and quality is well down the priority list. It's almost like they're doing to a favor by showing up at all. My recent remodel is a good example. Had a glass stair railing outfit come out. First the guy insults my house saying it's out of level. No **** a-hole - it was built into a hill in 1977. The foundation has settled years ago. Then he tells me he will only do work "to code" which means full railings on each side of the steps, which would make it impossible to move anything up them. That I kind of get because maybe they could be held liable. The point is he was unwilling to think outside the box. So I'm welding up my own railings. Same thing with the stairs. Guy wanted 15 grand to do prefab floating stairs. I did my own using much better materials for a fraction of that. And they will be here after the cockroaches take the earth back.
Cheryl's step-mom is having her bathroom remodeled. Not even down to the studs. Sixty grand! We did ours (down to the studs) and it cost me 3 grand.

To be honest, I’ve never seen the original. So I can’t comment on which is better.
I do know I’ll have to watch the movie again. Being that I am not up to speed on the events, I find that there is a lot of jumping around in this movie.
Also, the subtitles from Japanese aren’t instant as they should. You get them in the next scene. Not sure if that’s the movie or a Prime thing.

A quiet dog? None of those in my neighborhood. Wish 7 of them in particular were.

posture pedics here. Worth every penny. If there is sleep apnea while sleeping in that bed then you have sleep apnea.

No pets on the furniture here, Tick. Unless we're not around to catch them. I've walked in the door and found my chair rocking.
