I'm excited to share we've been selected as the winner for the 2023 ADU for U Raleigh design competition sponsored by @AARPNC and @BetterLD. Our goal was to design a small, affordable ADU which was comfortable for all ages, with features to promote aging-in-place. More to come.

@PackersDisciple @ashleyjwashburn @tmj4 By the police, not the Packers. Insanely confusing graphic.

@TylerHerrick The Packers barely beat them last time they played in Charlotte. But that was probably more of a Joe Barry issue than anything else.

@Peter_Bukowski This is the third time I've been pissed off watching a bears game in the last month.

@zacobson The Luke Kuechly video is so good too.

@JacobWestendorf Jeff Hafley is already in the building and everyone says he's going to be a head coach somewhere soon.

The guest bath, with the amazing @ZiaTileUSA concrete tiles.

[Nick Roberts @nick_rober]

Punched out this amazingly beautiful bathroom and guest bathroom renovation today. This was a complete gut and, in the case of the primary, reconfiguration. Tons of time spent working through these details on site.

@ZiaTileUSA all around

[Eric Weatherholtz @iononrecourse]

To build a "date night" type restaurant it wouldn't be unusual to spend $900 per square foot in addition to the cost of a shell building.

A really good restaurant margin (just within the 4 walls with no accounting for home office costs) is 20%.

A really good return on cost is a payback within three years.

To make that happen on a 5,000 square foot restaurant, sales need to be $144k per week.

If half the sales happen on Friday and Saturday nights
then sales on those days would need to be $36k.

If the restaurant had 150 seats and was dinner only and the tables turned twice on those nights, the check would need to be $120 per person.

Therefore:

When you simps stop drinking liquor, the whole thing grinds to a stop.

Now do the same for roads

[Nick Roberts @nick_rober]

At 7:10 am and there's a school zone 1.5 blocks away. I wonder if they slowed to 25 mph for it.

[RecklessRoxboro @RecklessRoxboro]

Speeder spotted going 70MPH on Roxboro St with a 35MPH limit, near the intersection with Mallard Ave. 50MPH would count as reckless under the law. Ask the city and state transportation agencies why the road design allows this!

@ErnieBrownII @the_transit_guy Looks like an amusement park go-kart track.
