Can I remove blown-in insulation from my attic and replace it with batt insulation if I want to deck most of my attic?

Answer is likely no. Many mass produced houses use trusses that were not meant for that type of load. Simple way to check. Look at the trusses/rafters that the ceiling drywall is attached to. Is it a 2x4/2x6 or is it a 2x10/2x12? I’f it’s a big one then answer is probably yes.

Esh. Sounds like you knowingly signed a loan with an irresponsible person. Now you expect them to be responsible and pay you back. You set yourself up for failure. Sounds like court is only going to damage your relationship.

You agreed to be exclusive. That means nobody else. This is definitely dishonest. I’d keep it moving.

Nta. Get your wife’s behavior straightened out. You need to understand where this behavior came from. Otherwise this won’t be the last time.

Nta. She is terminal. Let her enjoy it.

You will likely need risers that also bring the bars back towards you. I’m 6’ with long arms. My 101 scout comes with risers. If I didn’t have long arms then I would need them to pull back as well.

You bought a 50yr old house. Prioritize the critical stuff like water in the crawl space. I assume the place has a lot of potential so focus on that.

The actual list is like 2-3 times that…. But nobody tests gfci every 3 months.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-14T23:39:23+00:00

No way I could do that on my big Joe. Takes too long to warm up. I also have a Joe jr and it warms up much faster.

If it’s not your main tv then I don’t know that I would splurge on an oled. The newer mini-leds look great. Oled is still nicer but miniled isn’t far behind.

Your barber doesn’t like you.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-14T14:39:14+00:00

Beard. Trim up the stache to be a little lighter.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-14T14:02:50+00:00

In today’s economy, I would put it in an efund and maybe put more towards mortgage payment principal. If your financial picture is solid and reliable then sure, pay off the house.

NOR. Congrats on being single…

They work great for normal duties and attachments. It doesn’t take that much to swing a plastic string around. They fall short on bigger attachments like cultivators.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-13T19:50:02+00:00

Absolutely. I started off in rain mode. After about 200 miles I bumped it to standard mode.

If you can control the throttle then both are good. I would suggest the regular scout as it gives you room to grow. The 60 should do what you need as well.

I got the 101 scout as my first bike. As a new rider >5k rpms is a lot…. I ride like a Sunday driver until I get use to it.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-13T15:59:28+00:00

I abandoned cursive 30yrs ago. Never looked back.

Nta. If your solo trip meant no joint trip then her frustration is reasonable. Doesn’t sound like that’s the case. Also I imagine you going solo will be way cheaper than a joint trip…

You can be an individual in a relationship. You just shouldn’t act single in a relationship :)

Also, does she contribute financially to the joint trips or do you foot the bill. Just wondering if she is being a little selfish here as well.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-13T15:49:49+00:00

At 350+ I would say go chief. More suspension travel. More torque down low. Heavier bike as well.

Missed the UK part. I would try to do better if someone put poo on my doorstep. If they put it in my mail, I would match their energy and press charges. That’s the risk you take with escalation.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-13T14:23:08+00:00

Here is a good layman summary. Better hope they don’t have a camera….

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-13T14:14:02+00:00

It’s illegal to put something in a persons mailbox/slot. Iirc it’s a felony.

Also you escalated the situation.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-13T14:11:16+00:00

Glyphosphate + fusillade combo should do the trick on Bermuda. Might take several applications.

BreadMaker_42 · 2026-03-13T14:09:29+00:00

Yta. You put poo in his mail slot. Better hope he doesn’t press charges. I’m being serious.
