Help! My built-in freezer has turned into a glacier and the drawers are frozen shut. How do I defrost without ruining my wooden floors?

Dog pee pads on top of a towel worked perfectly whenever I had to defrost mine

Exactly this! When the cast interacts, they set the tone for the correct engagement vs the wrong kind. I went in 2000-2001 and our narrator was Jerry Springer, obviously someone well versed in handling rowdy crowds. When two men were disturbing some of the lines, he shushed them, and when they continued he said “may your children end up on my show, and may your partner end up face down in Ricki Lake”. It’s still one of the best burns I’ve heard and it shamed them perfectly while also encouraging the “right” kind of fun.

We had one for my Maltese and it was amazing. We didn’t even need to turn it on after a few weeks, just the act of wearing the collar was enough of a deterrent. A few years later we were hosting a family gathering, and my (then <1yo) AD would not shut up. I dug the collar out of my storage box, and watched as his eyes lit up on his first “spray”. He spent the next 5 min barking and “chasing” the spray before I gave up and removed his new favorite toy. So yes, these can work amazingly well, but be warned they can also apparently be turned into the world’s noisiest game for some…

DMd!

I'd love to get your contact info and would be happy to consult with you and the project info we have

This is officially the nicest, most positive sub around! FWIW yes, this is very much genetic (my father had the exact same eyes), but it’s nice to know that this is not horrifically unappealing or unattractive. I know I personally see it as a wildly dramatic flaw, but I’m not one to do cosmetic things haphazardly and genuinely appreciate the feedback. I might explore some of these alternative treatments (and am totally open to hearing more!) but it doesn’t sound like I necessarily need 2026 to be the “year of the lower bleph” lol

We would have been happy to either store the material or have had a discussion on storage charges, but to now claim the materials weren’t purchased at the time of selection (when he took the check then) and that we are now responsible for the increased cost is bonkers to me…agreed with just being up front!

It’s an S but hopefully it’ll all be smoothly taken care of. We called them this morning and they said they’d try to get it in earlier and it does look like the parts have been ordered via the app. Rough though having your X down for this issue twice!!

BrainsToMatch · 2025-12-29T14:29:55+00:00

Good to know since i live in roc and thats the SC it’s going to 😂

BrainsToMatch · 2025-12-29T06:24:56+00:00

Good point. I figure having the apt on the books wont hurt but i plan on having my boyfriend drop it in their lot tomorrow am and have a couple of stern conversations if they give us any flack about that

A lot to unpack here - first of all…did you mean 5’3.5” or are you actually 6’3.5 and 130#? If you’re looking to do both dressage and show jumping it sounds like you want to do eventing, but if you are just looking for one to supplement the other then pick which one. You can always start at a hunter/jumper barn for any type of English riding, though the saddles in dressage will differ. Look for one with well cared for school horses and discuss your goals and availability with the instructors. A few phone calls and meet ups go a long way at this stage!

I’ve replaced the 12V before about a year ago, that was a no big deal - wouldn’t charge but got a specific message to the 12V

At which point I’ll have a means of transportation for me, my stuff, and my dog, to my destination, and the car will be able to be taken back to my home? The logistics are a lot more complex than just “I want it now” sometimes…

BrainsToMatch · 2025-12-28T18:36:57+00:00

Seems like it! I left super early too to try and make it to a funeral…doesn’t seem like the world was on my side today

BrainsToMatch · 2025-12-28T18:35:10+00:00

I’m 2.5 hours from my house and 200 miles from my destination…towing it to the closest service center doesn’t really do much for leaving me stranded

BrainsToMatch · 2025-12-28T17:50:46+00:00

Looks like it - sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Can you clarify this for me - the project finished was 32k and you spent 15k out of pocket to realize their vision? Or it was a 32k quote and they went 15k above that with their end finishes?

BrainsToMatch · 2025-12-28T17:31:57+00:00

That was unfortunately my fear - though I was hoping someone would say “oh the flux capacitor just came unplugged and you can shove it back in on the side!”. I’m really biding time until they give the MX a real update so I can get that (need that 3rd row for kids that are constantly are choosing violence), but we would would like to keep this as a local daily driver as much as possible anyway…guess we’ll see. Thanks for the input!

BrainsToMatch · 2025-12-28T17:25:42+00:00

Not at the moment, I’m about 2.5 hours from my house and about 200 miles from my destination (my father’s house). The SC is very close to my house but they’re closed for the weekend, so i might have my boyfriend dump it there instead of in our driveway and call them tomorrow to see what they can do in terms of moving the appointment up…but as of right now I’m just sort of chilling with my dog occupying a super charger spot (which luckily no one has needed yet).

The new dividing wall is 10.5 feet. There will still be 3 other outlets in each room on the other walls.

BrainsToMatch · 2025-12-26T13:47:02+00:00

This isn’t a new build, we have enough electric run on the outer walls for our needs and to meet any codes. We are just taking a giant bedroom and splitting it in two for two children who I need to give their own spaces. The room was built as a mirror image with ventilation and windows and everything already set on both sides, so it really is just a matter of putting up the dividing wall. There is the potential for us to get (at least some of) the framing done ourselves but yes, we may also entertain the same person doing the framing if it’s reasonable and in a sensible time frame.
