  • Fo sho. Temporary things can and should be low cost/quick. Getting a hammer drill and tap-cons that aren’t required for the end product may just serve to degrade the existing structure in the long run.

    Also- we just had our steep ass roof reshingled and were getting water in the attic along the chimney after installation. The 30 year warranty got us two dudes back on the roof with three tubes of caulk… 30 year caulk?

    We called a manager back over to inspect the work. He gave us a quote on siding, because he believed that was the issue. There is no siding between the roof and chimney… Can’t quite afford the lawyer without a guarantee we would win and get our money back.

    I try not to think about it. We’ll live in this house until we die because dishing it off to some other unsuspecting fool would haunt me afterwards. That - and the black mold will probably speed things up a bit.

    Hard to say what is what these days.

    Enough darkness. Hope y’all enjoy some quality time with loved ones (or whatever works for you) this weekend!




  • Precisely. If we fight the toddler head on, we will die. If we acknowledge the superiority of said toddler, we will lose. Then die.

    “success in small businesses requires determination to stay the course”

    This applies to the big leagues as well. We endure as one. Raise them in the spirit of self defense until they join our tenuous society.












  • I’ve been on both sides and they’re both true. Biking in to get ingredients for one meal is quick. Taking a car to gather a week’s supplies (I still have to go back for something later) is a bigger endeavor.

    I try to time it with my work schedule, which changes a lot. Old people block aisles and chat from 10 to 12. It’s deathly busy from 3 to 5.
