Need input/experiences with having a covered patio built
Same. I've already got the slab done now I just need the covered part. Who would be the best option for a gabled roof covering? Roofers? Paging ROFLBOX I'm looking for a 15x35/40' covering

For those who have ATT, did you disable the wifi on the uverse router/modem to utilize the google or just used it in addition?

The "Post a Picture You Took" thread
Well, we took a friend trip to Bolivar this past weekend and took a lot of shots. I made a few blunders and am wondering what the fix(es) are? I'm continuing to have trouble with subject focusing. I'm on "Evaluative metering" with the "Sports" preseting. Sure, there might be some camera shake but it's happening on posed pictures as well with the camera focusing on the T-shirts vs. faces. I made sure to half click the center dot on faces, but it still wasn't focusing correctly How do y'all combat lens/camera fogging? Every time I took the camera outside, it would be fogged for a ridiculously long time which made me miss a lot of shots or, if I took them, they were just foggy/cloudy At some point during some shooting, the camera changed to the "monochromatic" setting. I was just rapid firing a lot of pictures b/c the kids are tough to keep still, so I didn't realize it until the end of the shoot. Is there anyway for me to change this after the fact?

I found it odd and disgusting that, even after JB was fired, the AD continue to defend his behavior as "it's just a product of his upbringing" and basically dismiss it altogether

Pergola/Roof Gable -- Overall Home Improvement
That was actually a question I had. Do you mind sharing what you paid for it? Maybe it's the angle, but it looks smaller than 30'. I actually went out to measure mine to reconfirm and it definitely is ~~32' x 15'. Anything you would have changed after-the-fact? If I go gabled roof, I think it would need to have more of a pitch so that it doesn't look funny w/ the surrounding roof design/structure.

Lol. I love on the last episode when they show his house on Zillow. For how much he brags about all his shit....it's a $150K house.

Pergola/Roof Gable -- Overall Home Improvement
Well, we just refinanced so it looks like we'll be in this house for a bit longer. One of the commitments I needed to make was to improve things around the house, update master bath, pantry, and probably build either a pergola or a covered roof cable thing. The last one is what I want to focus on for this thread. Has anyone done this recently? Did any particular factor play part in you choosing a pergola vs. a gabled roof extension? My patio is approximately 30" x 15"...maybe a little larger. I haven't decided if I want the entire patio covered or not, but we get a bunch of sun in the evening that just bakes the backyard. I'm in far N DFW if that matters

The "Post a Picture You Took" thread
What should be my starting point for exposure? Assuming not a lot of movement from the subject. Also, the grass appears pretty sharp in the picture, wouldn't it also be blurry from shake? Not arguing. Just trying to learn. From what I've watched on YouTube, a good iso starting pt for outside is 100, with maybe f8? I was playing w all modes at the time so I'm not sure which one for that particular picture

I guess I didnt specify in the post, but I was looking for feedback. Certain elements appear blurry. How do I crisp that up?

I don't know what's going on but they've disabled new account signup for people. I don't know if I want to post on imgur -- particularly just due to privacy and I don't want pictures of my daughter (she's 2, pervs) floating around the interwebs.

SF, Napa, Carmel in October
We're doing close to the same trip in August. Flying into SJC on a Saturday and driving down to Big Sur for a few days and then up to Napa to depart SFO on that Thursday. I'll probably ask a few questions and I work on the itinerary with the first being, is there anything to see on the way down from SJC to Carmel or should we just plan on doing a straight shot to Carmel? Our biggest stops are going to be Carmel, Big Sur, and Napa. We might spent some time in SF, but for some reason that city just doesn't appeal to me too much.
