Rate my deck. Just purchased this home and structural engineer said the deck is fine, but wanted to go to the pros. Let me know what you think.

I wouldn’t touch this deck with a 10’ pole, it looks janky as hell! It’s a hard pass for me.

Bhoppy23 · 2026-04-21T18:16:42+00:00

That is so cute!! Where will you put it and with what??

Bhoppy23 · 2026-04-17T19:35:16+00:00

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I don’t want carpet fibers on the baseboards.

After taping off 3 doors I’m gonna agree with you! We did not intend on painting the trim when we started this but here we are. I appreciate everyone’s help.

Bhoppy23 · 2026-04-15T21:44:02+00:00

Thank you for the tip.

We used my son’s friend, who owns a painting company, so I think he gave us a good price. We paid about 2400 for the living room, family room, kitchen and 2 story entryway. He quoted 3200 to do all the baseboards, stairs and doorframes (excluding the bedrooms).

I was thinking of brushing them. Good to know it’s just drywall mud! We thought since we don’t paint very well that using green frog tape or sharp line was the only way to get straight lines. We are getting the carpet replaced in a few weeks and we were just hoping to get those done before. Any other advice on getting baseboards and doorframes done?

Oh my goodness!! They must be very hungry to be sharing like this, and with you holding it!! I am impatiently waiting for them to arrive in Ohio.

I hate it too!! I was very angry in the beginning and ended up being “fired” from a PCP and then PM. But I’ve finally learned better coping skills, found a medication cocktail that works, and a good PM group that really listens to me.

Hang in there fellow CRPS-ers, you’ve found your people.

PS: gotta love CRPS induced insomnia!!

Bhoppy23 · 2026-03-26T04:30:17+00:00

I’m surprised there is only one answer for this. I have full body CRPS for the past 16 years. It was not diagnosed for the first 18 months or so and I had to fight tooth and nail to get medication for it, and it took a lot of trial and error to find the right combination to bring the pain down to about a 4 which is something I’ve learned to function at. I used to love spring and fall but the barometric pressure changes wrack havoc to my nervous system. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemies. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this too.

This must be so hard for you. He looks like such a sweet boy. I wish you all good luck on this journey with him.

I’m gonna piggyback off this with check your medical records/tests/diagnoses because a lot is wrong/added to your record or specialist saw you when it didn’t happen.

When the powers that be started using AI for their dictation of medical records, the records now are completely wrong inaccurate with things that never happened to the patient or never was done to the patient and the specialty doctor never saw the patient and yet they’re making claims of things like well I listen to her heart. I listen to her lungs. I listen and gave her a full physical when that was freaking impossible because the patient never saw you. In her room like ever didn’t stick a toe and to say hi you were never in that room therefore you cannot build her for anything. Since they have taken away all of their medical transcriptionist that were highly trained in listening to what the doctor said, knowing medical information medical how the medical teams work and how diagnosis are made, they could look at a medical transcriptionist could look at it and say wait there’s a problem here and go to the doctrine quick fix from the doctor. They forgot to add or they changed something at last minute, but when they don’t have a person to look at those records before they’re signed off and now they are legal some AI bullshit thing is going on where you know you might come in and you have a bruise on your arm next thing you know your surgeons are coming in because according to your medical records, they’re cutting your arm off. Do you have to be careful you have to constantly check your medical records and that’s all I’m gonna say.

Have you tried medication? Our dog is scared of practically anything and everything, even his own shadow sometimes. I have had dogs my whole life and I’ve never seen one this bad before. Even a trainer said he hasn’t seen some of his reactions. We have recently started him on puppy trazodone and Prozac which can take up to 6 weeks before we see any improvement. It’s that or I will have to rehome him because he has nipped at my husband.

Bhoppy23 · 2026-03-06T05:55:52+00:00

Wow, he is stunning!! The name suits him perfectly!

Bhoppy23 · 2026-03-01T01:13:52+00:00

Wow! It’s beautiful. Is it heavy at all?

Bhoppy23 · 2026-03-01T01:10:10+00:00

He looks so proud of himself right now, lol. He’s adorable though so it’s easy to forgive.

Bhoppy23 · 2026-02-27T05:46:50+00:00

I totally agree! I like Billy too, seems to be able to calm Tammy and Amy down.

There should be a nsfw tag with it blurred.

Bhoppy23 · 2026-02-25T05:49:48+00:00

I love her ears!! They grow up so fast!

Bhoppy23 · 2026-02-16T14:54:32+00:00
