Trying to secure a prize for Donny in the Big Brother show

$25,000 for America's Favorite Player...If you already are watching and voting for someone. ignore this post if not, this guy is fighting against Ariana Grand's Brother and she is tweeting for all her fans to vote for her brother who doesn't even need the money...this guy does...and as fans we want him to win the Favorite Player. He is a grounds keeper from NC and that's about what his salary is per year... the card were stacked against him to win the game but favorite player would be nice...you can vote up to 20 times but even once would be great.

Here's the whole story if you have time to read it..This is from the reality show...Big Brother..

. Donny is the oldest guy in the house and all the other guys formed a group at the very beginning. Most of them are young college guys or young guys about the same age and starting out their careers and had nothing in common with him and totally left him out...what they didn't take into consideration is that the viewers loved Donnie. And Donnie fought like hell against all of them to win, even though it was a losing battle so we are trying to secure the meager Americas Favorite $25K for Donnie...which he would probably win anyway except for the Ariana Grande twist...and all of her 13 year old minions. Frankie is her brother and said he was playing for charity to build dance schools in Africa...but these American kids are playing to pay off college debt. the leader right now is a thirty year old from the NE trying to win to buy a house for his family.

Donnie is a groundskeeper for a school district in North Carolina. He quit his job in order to play this game and hoped to get enough money to also to win enough money to maybe make a down payment on a house and to marry his long time girlfriend Christine. Donnie doesn't normally wear a beard that long or at all but DBS wanted a Duck Dynasty entry and asked Donnie to grow out his beard and wouldn't let him shave it even though he ask as he thought he would "fit in" better with not beard...They thought with the beard and southern accent, he was a hick...and then they couldn't figure out what or who he was.
CBS is a parent company in Araina's label and it was very underhanded in having him on the show. It just so happened to premier as her big album premiered and also as she was doing the VMA's and all those big shows...so it was a publicity..He claims to be a big mogul but I don't believe it because he was talking to one of the guys one night and he said, he didn't really have anything to go back to. His family is however said to be wealthy.. I watched his videos and they are geared to 13 year old's or gay men...some of them are disgusting...talking about riding Justin Beiber's equipment

The whole thing seems to have been set up for Frankie ..at the end they offered two of the team members one was Frankie and the other Derrick an extra 50K if they managed to get to the final two and if one of them won...this was a ploy to help Frankie win...very underhanded of CBS..

It's time for a new shed! Paint time, whats your vote?

OMG that's what we got too! I'm really glad to hear that you had a good experience. I was a little worried going through Home Depot, but they were offering such a great deal, it was just too hard to pass up. Tuff Shed has a local warehouse center located by one of my clients, so I did some hard comparisons between the warehouse's retail product and the one they offer through Home Depot. The warehouse told me that the Tuff Sheds sold at Home Depot are made of the exact same materials and by the same crew as the regular warehouse sheds. The warehouse sheds come with some slight differences like added radiant protection from the sun but other than that, the only real difference is that Home Depot didn't want to offer the stronger warranties that they offer on theirs, but the difference in price was almost double. Yep, thats the barn we looked at, only in the 10x12. We really loved how open it was, it literally felt larger than the ranch style in the same size. In order to get an open feel in the ranch we opted for the 12/6 pitched roof and then we got the upgraded eaves so it would match the house. At first we were going to get the loft, but I saw a ranch style online with one built in and half of it wasn't really functional because of the roof. After that, we decided to change it to two 16" shelves along the back wall instead. So I see you got several windows! I love that! it looks so nice! My husband didn't want any windows but I couldn't resist having at least one. I really wanted to add transom windows to the doors, but we were already over budget. The ramp is what really killed us, but we had to have it for the riding mower. So did you paint or did they? And where is your metal foundation? I just know we will end up having to add some of the pavers under ours, the ground isn't too wonky, but it's still is off a tad. I figure we can build up the landscape around it afterwards. The guy told us to put pea gravel and limestone under it and critters will avoid it like the plague so we're doing that this weekend. Wow, you sure have a nice spot, very pretty, your house looks so majestic sitting there. I think we would have set ours back on our lot some too if we weren't storing yard and snow stuff in it. Way in the back by the property line we have another old shed, but its in terrible shape and wasn't worth restoring. It's mini barn we plan on tearing down this summer. I'm so tickled you had pictures! And thanks so much for posting them! That sounds like so much fun with the boats. When we lived in Louisiana, we lived on the river and boated all the time. Our neighbor even had a cool houseboat. Michigan is the state of lakes, they are everywhere so boating is a popular pass time for a lot of folks here.

How many times have you remodeled? Would you do it again?
Q
Comments (22)
I remember after renovating my kitchen and bathrooms the first time, I had acquired all this knowledge and skill and felt that I should use it. It seemed so pointless to have gone thru and learned so much to get it done, to just throw that away. So I totally get that you are still keen to do another one. We had a house fire and ended up redoing everything (hard but fun). I got to fix everything I wished I'd done differently (I'd recommend the site finished hardwoods), but now I'm totally burnt out and am happy to live with what we have. It sounds like you still have the energy. If you get it at a reasonable price, I'd do it.

If you have a range hood with 400CFM+, do you have a make up air kit?
Q
Comments (8)
Hello with an update: So, I contacted many HVAC companies and it was a hassle to even get them to understand what I wanted. Most have never even heard about Make up air... The company that serves our HVAC unit sent someone and gave us an estimate of $1500.00 to do the make up air through the HVAC system (but they were upfront they had never done this before and actually took a while to do their research into Fairfax code, etc..). I had another HVAC contractor give me the same quote. I kept looking (with no luck) and then I had the idea of calling Bray and Scarf (sp?) to ask them for a recommendation, since I am pretty sure they sell this kind of hood. They told me to call R.A. Dobson (heating, ac and plumbing) and they came over. They wanted to do something simpler, without involving the HVAC unit. George (their guy) said he didn't think the HVAC could support and work efficiently with the addition of the make up air damper. He gave me a quote of $1400.00. At this point, I have decided to just have my contractor do the simple version of it, without involving the HVAC unit and he is charging me $1200.00. I went with him because his price includes everything, including fixing the walls, the roof part, etc. The other companies don't fix dry wall or deal with the roof part. But yeah, if I had known it was so complicated and expensive would have gone down to a 300 CFM hood.

What did you do to make sure your builder delivered on time?

I've had clauses in two projects (of 150+). My very first contract after leaving the family home building nest 30+ years ago, which cost me. The second was for a logistics expert. We beat it and collected. I learned to price changes with both dollars and time added. Remember that every time a trade shows up on your project and you say "I'll get back to you on that decision..." they may move to another project where decisions are complete. It may be a day or a few weeks. In this time of COVID, we're discovering a growing list of unpredictable items. Hardware & fixtures that would be under a week out can be 10-12 weeks. When we hear that, its better to reselect as those lead times can grow (in other words they really don't know). What if your window manufacturing plant shut down for a week or two? etc. Always get out there and complete selections much earlier than you think, engage in the design process, listen to expert suggestions.

voted 20 yesterday and again today. I hope Donnie wins it, he deserves it after putting up with their crap and not so nice treatment. Not liking Frankie at all since he made those horrible comments about wanting a few of the guys to take away Victoria's innocence. Creep

I love love love Donnie and he would win hands down if not for Frankie having his famous sister promoting him.
Would be great if somehow the Duck Dynasty group would start promoting Donnie. He has all of my votes.
I am hoping Derrick wins he is a police officer with a wife and very young daughter he could definitely use it. I like the other 2 guys too, Caleb served in the military and is a very stand up good guy. He is my second choice. Poor Victoria is clueless and can't win anything to save her life.

I was very happy to see Frankie blind sided and booted out.

Thanks for the link, Ruthie. I voted for Donny, too.

I was hoping he'd get further in the game.

I'll vote again tomorrow.

I was hoping he would too but he got a long way considering what he was up against and the most important thing is that he won peoples hearts...and the other guys made themselves look like azzes the way they treated him...He will end up with some coins and I think he and Christine will get married because I think this absence made him realize how much he loved and missed her...

Done! & will do 20x per day until the voting ends.

I agree that Donny should get it! He is a real sweetheart. He did so great on the challenges. And, also, isn't he taking care of his brother with some kind of health problem?

Frankie was going to give his money to "charity" if he won--easy to say when your sister is a gazillionaire--so it's not like he needs the money. Now, if they were all doing a special BB & all the other houseguests were all doing this for charity I'd be ok with it.

Everyone else is playing for their families. I think Derrick is playing the game the way it's meant to be played so I hope he wins. Not fond of the "dishonesty", but that is part of the game.

Thanks for posting this!
