It sort of depends on what you want to get out of your college experience. Since you’re commuting it’s pretty easy to just be in and out for classes and never be wrapped up in “school spirit” and campus life. Speaking from personal experience committing there. Academically it’s a good school.

There really is something to the dialogue in Margin Call, because its a movie in which I feel like serious shit is going down, and there's some "holy shit" moments, and the only time I usually feel like that in a non-action movie is when its written by somebody who is critically acclaimed.

But it definitely doesn't feel like Aaron Sorkin. It doesn't feel like Tony Gilroy in Michael Clayton (maybe a little).

Turns out the movie is written and directed by Chandor. Who also made A Most Violent Year, which is a sometimes uneven movie but it does have some heavy moments. And he also made All Is Lost, which doesn't really have dialogue, but its a solid movie.

And then he made Triple Frontier, which I never watched. But I don't get the impression that it was that smart of a movie.

What sort of shed are you planning on building? Will it have a raised floor or is the plan for the pavers to be the floor like a dirt floor, but more paver-y?

Regardless, can you do it and should you do it area two different questions. Do you live in an area where it rains a lot? If the floor (assuming joists) can’t dry, it will rot. Concrete gets wet and stays wet for a long time, so having the full length of the joists in contact isn’t the best idea. The other problem you might run into is getting the floor truly level and flat. Gravel shifts and having a lot of weight on any spot could well push the shed corner down and cause it to sink.

Personally, I think a better idea would be to use plastic footings. You can level the floor and you don’t have dug down like with concrete piers.

All depends on your shed construction of course.

One of the hardest things for me to learn was to give my wife time to process things her own way. I overthink while she is doing this, My mind fills in the blanks where I have no right to fill in yet until she is ready. I still do this to this day.

Sometime just leave that conversation alone for the time being and turn something more positive like a simple I love you, and as long as we are together, we will get thru it.

Support and remind your SO but let them process their own way.
