To each his own. Can't imagine my life without my wife and kids.
It was so hot when I walked out I thought I was under one of those huge A/C units for big buildings that was blowing hot air on me. Seriously did. The heat was so suffocating at first.
First time I went to Phoenix, it was 115 and had fairly high humidity for them. A rare storm was rolling in lol. Still loved it
I took a long weekend in Phoenix once. Just once but that was. In the mid 1980's. (Barely left the hotel room.)
Never want either. I’d like to have a long term partner but I wouldn’t get married, don’t think it’s worth the risk for men. Kids would take my freedom
Sorry I'm late to this thread, I'm still waiting for my first paid tile-job. Below is some of my best work. DM me once my interview time is set up.
That’s pretty good I’d say. Keep it up.Sorry I'm late to this thread, I'm still waiting for my first paid tile-job. Below is some of my best work. DM me once my interview time is set up.
You know where else it's a dry heat? On the surface of the sun.
What part of Phoenix? I used to travel to Tempe a couple times a year for work. Really beautiful out there, but I only traveled in March and October.
It's dry heat because the water all boiled off.
New Orleans is miserable hot in the summer. Wife and I were out there years ago during the week of July 4th. The temperature never got below 90 and the humidity below 95% the entire time we were there; night and day.
Not 100% yet but probably north Phoenix. I do have family in Gilbert, nice over there in the east valley too.
My Kids are grown in their 20s and doing well thankfully. Never really considered not marrying or having kids.
Everybody does what is best for them. Sincerely hope the best for you on your move. I love it out west.
If I could pick a spot out west, I loved Flagstaff. Different seasons, beautiful scenery.
We were in Phoenix in the 90s. Away from AC, all I could think was "I'm going to DIE." At 115 there is no solace in low humidity. And due to the irrigation fields along the Gila River and east of Scottsdale, Phoenix humidity is higher than you'd think.
The first full day we were there we went to a late movie. When we got out, the streets were swarming with people doing outdoor work. Road work, roofing, etc. It was maybe 98 and that was cool for Phoenix. The smell of hot tar at 11 PM is something that sticks with you.

@drew_ukfan , I'm happy to read that you're willing to take the chance and move while you can. That's how life should be lived. I tip my hat to you, sir.
Thanks man. I just try to live free. Sacrifices are always made but I’m a pretty happy individual
Yeah that’s a very awesome course and one of the best from a TV tournament experience. I remember that shot like it was yesterday.
Glad we're all different. Would't want to live a second without kids now that I have them. We've (wife and 2 kids) have been to all 50 states, just went to Alaska last September, no idea why you would think kids take freedom. My kids help give me freedom, they help do a lot of work and take pressure off me and give me more freedom. Good luck with your move, we've not been in Phoenix but was all over Flagstaff and Williams area a few times.
When I was in 8th we went to Clearwater and there was no beach. They were building it and had almost got to where we was hoping they could make it. They did as we were leaving.
Not to bust your balls too much on this but this is what every boss ever says. The truth is the best way to get paid is to get paid. Or do we get tax breaks for your other more ambiguous form of payment?
They’ll stop agriculture soon. The farmers use something like 70% of the water in Arizona and it’s not worth it.
Maybe drew_ukfan can get us on at TPC Scottsdale ! How many bedrooms in your new place drew ?
I don’t have enough square feet for all ya crazies but @Blueaz said he does
Im behind… i didn’t know you finally made the move…
welcome, welcome to hell
Enjoy Arizona... I've been a couple times and was a state on my relocation list if I ever got a job opportunity.
Back in the days of USENET, I got detailed information from someone from New Orleans about what to do on a visit there. He went on in great deal and stressed, "Don't park your car on the street. It will melt."
And it would have.
We just started a phase there a few days ago actually. There are a few companies that do work up there. I think we may take over the whole thing. They have had some quality issues.
Do I post under a second account or something? Are we the same person? Lol, besides I love my nieces amd nephews I’m basically still living that life. Congrats on your current choice I’ve loved it. And I still have plenty of time if I want a wife or kids because I usually date about 10+ years younger lol.
Good on you for offering the chance to people here. If I lived closer (i'm in south central KY) I would at least try it. And I'm not a 20-30 year old man. However, I do take pride in my work and have never been afraid of a drug screen (if they even still give those) . Also, not afraid of being well compensated. LOL
My future son in law may be a good fit for you. He does general construction now but previously did granite and tile work for about 4 years. He’s shown me pictures of some of his work and you could see the pride and satisfaction he got showing me the quality of a finished job.
I’m looking for someone to do a backsplash in my kitchen. Simple weekend job. I can pay cash.
