It’s been exceedingly stressful

The deck is 2 years old and was a selling point of the house. It looked great when we moved in. Now boards are actually rotting and many have warped. It looks like total shit.

Every “upgrade” the prior owners did caused major damage to the home.

Yeah I dunno. The outdoor units are 20yo. The air handlers are 30yo. Dudebro coming next week. Hopefully it’s able to be patched up. If not I’m going to replace with a similar setup because frankly I’m done with this pile of shit house. The latest saga is my brick pointing is literally crumbling an...

They’re not heat pumps 2 outdoor compressors and 2 air handlers. 2 full zones. Heat is supplied by a hydronic heater “boiler” that brings hot water to radiators that are inside the air handlers. Why they ripped out radiators in each room to do this is beyond my comprehension. So heat is water. Cool...

Just pulled right in front of you? RIP bitchin' Camaro. Glad you're mostly OK> Yeah, I had the green she must have had a left on green light, and she didn't see me at all. Just turned in front of me. She didn't even try to slowdown or stop. Holy shit man I’m sorry. That must have been terrifying. G...

Hold off on until you find out where the leak is. Maybe you'll dodge a bullet.

:fingerscrossed:

Maybe I’ll just go buy window units. They seem more reliable anyway.

So my reward for the air duct repair was short lived. The air handlers have two radiators in each. One for heat one for cooling . The heating system is all working great and delivered hot air quickly to the house when it got cold out. Yesterday was our first hot day with the house at 87F. AC went o...

Is a CVT 1.5T accord total seppuku? Would you at that point just go for the more expensive used Camry Hybrid?

I have a feeling I’m going to need to quickly buy a car in the next 3 weeks and have been looking at what’s available. Used prices are still insane. $20 grand doesn’t buy much.

If one doesn’t “oversimplify” you get nothing done and write 10000 page regulations on how high to cut the grass and if birds fart. Facts are facts. Our younger generations are being fucked into oblivion and carrying the golden geese into the retirement Homes. It’s a bit more troubling than just wh...

Also, Cleveland airport had a very poor selection of rental cars, I opted for an Elantra with 400 miles on the clock. I can see why people buy these things, for the price it is quite loaded out. The newer interior is :nice: , cool looking off white leather semi sport seats, sunroof, lots of tech, h...

I still haven’t seen the second. The first was great.

State seems like a good deal but just know quality will be pretty spotty. A friend of mine had one and the head tube separated from the down tube on him. He was riding MTB trails but still. The all city has been good to me overall. It takes a beating and keeps asking for more. I treat it really poo...

With careful tire selection they’re not worlds slower than a road bike. And yes you will be under-biked on MTB trails so you have to select the trail carefully, but honestly that can be kind of fun. It certainly makes most trails feel way more gnarly and wild. I dunno. Dan’s use case is exactly how...

I still really want a gravel bike but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger as I don't know how much use I'll really get. The main thing would be there's some really fun/fast MTB trails down in SC I can get to from my house almost entirely by paved greenway. It's about 12 miles each way, so it's a slog ...

I actually went for a road ride last week. It was nice out so I went local to some good roads and such I used to love riding on. I’d like to say it felt great but I had no power and could hardly do the hills. I have lots of catching up to do if I even want to hang on the casual shop rides. Hopefully...

The duct had fallen and totally separated in two spots. It is a foam board duct (common) but wasn’t stapl...

I think the proportions of the C8 are off. So it only looks good if the color and all is just right.

5 weeks in with baby Bea. Was going smoothly then she stopped gaining weight. Unsure of the reason but she can no longer breastfeed. She’s not taking any milk from Lisa. So back to bottles and looking into a possible tongue tie. I can’t do this again. The tongue tie exercises and oral function stuf...

Killer car dude. I’m jealous.

I hope Val is doing alright. What they’re going through can’t be easy and I hope they have the support they need.

Our last infant seat was a Graco. It seemed ok. Well new crash reports came out and that used to be ranked high and now it’s awful. So we got a new one since we needed a new stroller anyway, went with Uppababy since they’re high reviewed. Good lord this infant seat is enormous and weighs a fucking ...
