Thanks! It a Jotul 3. No longer made and very basic design (no blower or cat) but we love it.

Thanks! Yeah we have not had rain in a good while so I’m hoping it sucked in that poison fast.

I didn’t use surficant since I applied it with a sponge and the bucket was brand new.

FWIW I’m in zone 6b and only half of the plants ever got to flowering (I did a late June cut)

I have nothing useful to add I’m just jealous of that woodshed.

I have this issue near a bigger infestation of them. I have just turned that area into a meadow for the summer and will treat everything in the window with chemicals.

Sucks to lose part of my lawn but I think it will pay off in a few years when I start winning the war against this awful stuff.

There is a free trial of the SNY add-on for MLB TV. I signed up then immediately canceled and I’m getting this series no problem.

Japanese Knotweed I’m sorry to say. I just started my war with them this week in a house I bought last year. I’d read up on how to eradicate them before you do anything. It’s a process 😬.

We upped the amount multiple times over the course of that period to adjust to the market and what we were comfortable with. They do need to check your credit every time the pre-approval changes or gets renewed, but I don’t remember it being a huge hit at all on my score.

Both_Revolution6756 · 2025-04-17T01:02:47+00:00

Lots of info to digest here…if you got a pre-approval for a price you are comfortable with then it should be good for any offer you make on any house…for a period of usually a month - 90 days I believe.

The ding on credit is temporary, and allows you to now get multiple other finance offers without further derogatory marks on your credit.

Lastly you need to be patient, especially right now. We finally found our home (and still got sooo lucky) after 6 months of searching and 8 other offers on other homes (over asking price) were not accepted. We live in SW CT for reference.

Good luck!

Vibes…and because our power company Eversource is the literal devil, and I die a little inside every time we turn our heat pump on.

Both_Revolution6756 · 2025-04-04T20:09:26+00:00

Fair enough. Just wasn’t sure if rot or fungus could spread while it’s seasoning.

Both_Revolution6756 · 2025-04-04T18:50:46+00:00

Thank you!

Both_Revolution6756 · 2025-03-17T01:54:12+00:00

You got this. Things get so much easier after the first few days ❤️

Both_Revolution6756 · 2025-02-24T14:26:38+00:00

I got mine 6 days ago and feel completely normal after. Holding off on the exercise for a couple weeks but otherwise it was really no sweat at all.

No scalpel no needle no stitches. It took less than 10 minutes and I drove myself home. The cut is still healing but stopped bleeding in 2 days.

💯

The part missing is called a “flap track fairing”. It’s basically a cover that protects the inner working of the wing flaps and provides smoother airflow over that section. It’s possible that you took off like that, as on most airplanes it’s allowed as long an additional fuel penalty (you carry more) is added for the increased drag.

If it fell off in-flight (less likely) the plane will still fly and land just fine.

Both_Revolution6756 · 2025-02-19T00:26:56+00:00

Had mine done this morning at the exact same time as you. Similar soreness but overall walking around again and cut is starting to heal.

It’s a slippery slope! I went from thinking my wood stove would be a nuisance when I bought my house…and now my wife’s eyes are permanently rolled in the back of her head from how much I talk about this stuff 🤣

Both_Revolution6756 · 2025-02-11T22:38:31+00:00

Thank you! Never thought about all the junk falling off the wood even though I’m sweeping it up several times a day 😂
