I'm getting my new roof put on tomorrow... I'm pretty stoked. My cheapest estimate (out of 4) was $7800. I ended up buying all my materials at Lowes on sale w/ the intention of DIYing it... but then called the contractor who did my neighbors.... all said I'll have just under $4k into it... so I'm saving nearly $4k by working it this way.

I think I could have executed a picture perfect PIT manuever on this mini-van this morning. Stupid b***h was on the cell phone and cut me off then gave me that 'I don't know what is wrong with YOU' look. Had she not sped up she would have been resting on a light pole right now. I gave her the obligatory 2 minute horn honk, speed up next to you tirade of :cuss:, and the I'll run your *** off the road wheel jerk. She was shook enough that she pulled over to the shoulder in a panic.

Ahhhh ... the joys of NoVA driving.

Maybe the ground will dry out a little bit. According to the weather channel we have almost doubled our normal rain fall, our rain gauge shows almost 8 inches of rain for the month. Six inches of rain fell in two days and we still have not dried out from there. UGH, the car looks like hell. Sunshine and a clean car. We have a frost warning for tonight in Indiana.

Good Morning all.

I've been running traffic 'tests' since last week.

If I leave my place before 530, I can pretty much cruise all the way to the interstate with little delay and be at work in 20 minutes.
0545 -- ~10 minute delay getting to the interestate.
0615 -- bus traffic and ~15-20 minute delay.
0700 -- I just call in sick.

I usually hop on the interestate a couple exits before my job and where I enter the interstate just happens to be where they are widening 95. It is slow moving initially as traffic merges then it opens up when it becomes 4 lanes. I may spend 10 minutes on the interstate in the morning commute no matter the weather.

0615 -- bus traffic and ~15-20 minute delay.
0700 -- I just call in sick.

I usually hop on the interestate a couple exits before my job and where I enter the interstate just happens to be where they are widening 95. It is slow moving initially as traffic merges then it opens up when it becomes 4 lanes. I may spend 10 minutes on the interstate in the morning commute no matter the weather.

Takes me 5 to 10 minutes to get to work, depending on the lights.

Good Morning all.

I've been running traffic 'tests' since last week.

If I leave my place before 530, I can pretty much cruise all the way to the interstate with little delay and be at work in 20 minutes.
0545 -- ~10 minute delay getting to the interestate.
0615 -- bus traffic and ~15-20 minute delay.
0700 -- I just call in sick.

I leave the house before 5:00am and it usually takes me 35 minutes to go the 35 miles door to door. I've done it in 25 minutes.:D

It takes me an 50-60 minutes to get home if I leave the office at 3:00pm unless there's a stinking concert at Nissan or it's Friday afternoon - then it can take 2 hours. :explode:

You all have a lot of self control to put up with the traffic everyday in the NOVA/DC area. I grew up in a small town with no stop lights and stop signs were looked at as a suggestion. Things still the same way back home now, but they expect people to nearly stop at those stop signs now.

Dude... I don't roll out of bed until 7:45 most mornings... leave the house by 8:15 and get to work by 8:30ish. Funny thing is my GF gets up at 6:30 and I still beat her out of the house.

I grew up in Fairfax Station... horrible traffic, but a great environment to learn to drive in. Used to take me 45 min to drive to shool in the AM. From the Lorton prison area (lived off of Ox Rd. on Hampton Rd.) to the Springfield mall area where my school was (Hayfield Secondary).

Everytime I go up to see friends I don't miss it one bit... most of them are hosue poor and you can't get anywhere.

I'm fortunate to not have much traffic going to work - takes me about 35 minutes to cruise 20 miles - all backroads, but I get behind a lot of slow people who think that 35mph is the new 50. :beatup:

Some years back when I was still in Atlanta, I was spending about 3 hours a day commuting from Duluth to Alparetta (bout 20-25 miles one way) Took about an hour and a half one way - and that wasn't even on interstates.

So glad I left that area!

Sounds like we both work screwy hours. Tomorrow a 12 hr shift, then five 8 hour shifts. The following Monday will work anywhere from 8hrs to 16hrs per day until system upgrades are done. In a couple of months I get to relocate every system to another building, expected long hours for up to 5 weeks. After building move, within another month or two I am expecting three more big system upgrades to deal with. Will be busy until next summer. People are talking about quiting due to the work load, should be plenty of overtime I guess.
