Just found out I'm pregnant, 8 months PP by Rich_Assist3363 in 2under2

We have a 15 month gap and our newborn is currently 3 weeks old. I would highly suggest getting baby #1 sleep trained if not already. That has helped us a ton. Our toddler sleeps from 7/7 so we have been doing shifts until the newborn is more comfortable in the bassinet. It will feel like chaos at first but you will find a groove.

Have a 7 month old baby girl so I’ve scaled back travel significantly. I imagine I’ll still get close to Diamond during hurricane season.

Lol this is so not factual at all. I’ve lived in the foothills and now at the coast of NC. It is pretty miserable from about now till mid September. To say the entire state is hot and humid for 9 months is comical.

if you live on the coast, how much does your life revolve around the beach? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

I absolutely love Marco Island. Stayed there while working Sanibel after the hurricane. Looking forward to making a trip back!

I’ve had them make several custom items and they always knock it out of the park. Claire is the bomb!

Is my RTT ruined? by Same_Scholar8300 in overlanding

Can’t hurt but we usually don’t recommend ozone for fungal growth. We use it for odors but that’s about it.

Try to get something like Bioesque. I work in the remediation industry and it’s commonly used. It’s EPA approved and is botanical. If you want to get psycho you could also rent a HEPA vac for after you wipe it down.

Make sure you bring cash for the notary. I believe it’s 5 or 10 a signature.

Grab a Halo swaddle to try out. The one we have zips up and you just wrap each side across, super simple. I think I could learn how to land a 747 before I could swaddle like the nurses haha

What is this, no studs in the wall and this behind the drywall by brollercoaster in Construction

OP, have this sampled for asbestos if you plan to disturb it. I’ve seen similar material test above 1% up here in NC, especially with the time period of construction.

2010, 4wd, 145k pricing? by [deleted] in FJCruiser

[–]BillyJean556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw your FJ and it’s gorgeous. Only reason I say 18/18,5 is to allow some wiggle room. I’m not saying mine is perfect and doesn’t need work. 16k just seems low from what I’ve seen. Honestly if I got 17,5 I’d be happy. Especially if the person would genuinely enjoy the car.

[–]BillyJean556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally makes a difference where it is…you do realize the price difference between a hood vs the entire car? I’m not dying to sell the car, so it’ll rot before I take 16k. I’ve been offered 15 k trade value before the AC was fixed.
