victoly Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Ultimately, athletic directors aren't there to make the fans happy. Fan happiness is a desirable byproduct of an athletic director achieving his/her primary objectives. The duty of athletic director is to put the best product on the fields of play and to make the largest amount of money with the fewest amount of bev kearney lawsuits.

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yeah I read that article, don't agree with it at all and all the Aggies I know don't either. I dunno who decided to state that as the Universities stance, but I think it's wrong. I also saw this today: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8892840/texas-legislator-files-bill-revive-texas-longhorns-texas-aggies-rivalry-game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 In other news, completely unrelated to the current direction of the thread, I just installed this sweet fan in one of the roommates, it's currently cooling down my roommate's hands that are too hot from playing the banjo like a maniac (he's from TN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Does anyone have experience with aquariums on hardwood? I am beginning to consider what to replace my current floor with and it's between porcelain tile or engineered hardwood. The problem with hardwood is that with aquariums, it's not a question of IF it will get water on the floor, but WHEN. I'm a little weary about putting down hardwood for fear of ruining it and having to replace it later. Any advice out there from homeowners?

victoly Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've had mine on wood for nearly 2 years. Granted I haven't pulled it up to see what's underneath... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do wood buy enough to replace under tank at same time and store it. That way you have matching floor later if it gets discontinued.

FarmerTy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 When I moved my tank to the new location, my laminate looked fine. That is including multiple spills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planeden Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think there are several variables with egineered wood and aquariums. First is the quality of the floor, and nstallatuon. I know someone whose floor got ruined in under a year by small amounts of water. I'm pretty sure it was cheap material and poor installation. The second consideration is how you react to spills. I'm the "it'll dry" sort. Probably not the right attitude for wood floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I am also the type that doesn't clean up every spill of water, especially when the water is usually spilled right next to the stand and capillary action usually draws the water under the stand. I think I'll just be safe and go with tile. November is the best month to replace your floors according to the internets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 So I started tearing up the linoleum today and scraping the glue up off the concrete. I will be ripping up the carpet tomorrow and hopefully take the molding off the walls tomorrow. Anyway, here are some pics in progress! Rolling up linoleum Ugly linoleum gone!

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Oh yeah, I don't want any of that crap in my tank! Unfortunately I think I broke my toe at the gym this morning so it may slow down my progress here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Update: Toe is indeed broken, which has made working on my hands and bknees for the past week fairly painful and difficult. The bone chipped off in my big toe right in the joint Despite the handicap I have pushed on through the pain! Here are some update photos from the past week: Bare concrete read for measuring Dry run to make sure the "center" of the room is properly placed Tile/mortar/grout Living room tiled Still working on cutting the final tiles and grouting everything. Next I have to figure out the hearth of the fireplace too. If anyone has any cool ideas for it, feel free to share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
