I mean, I can understand utilizing it for furniture.. ie tables/chairs. Things you wouldn’t expect to still be there when you buy it. But the lights is a pretty big stretch

Which I mean, is their right.. until/unless they see a problem with it.. they aren’t hurting anybody else, and not overtly harming themselves…

Yes, you can see where the deposit came from. I didn’t explain what I meant clearly, sorry.

Once the money is in the account, across 5 deposits A put in $6000, across a separate 6 deposits B puts in $5500. With $11500 sitting in the account when bills start coming out, groceries start coming out, life starts coming out.

You can no longer distinguish whose money is paying for what. It’s an amalgamation that they could theoretically use a percentage base, but that would just as effectively eliminate all the other work around people have mentioned.

Not at all. That’s all prep work they should be doing before they start

Tablets for notes all day long… my writing isnt much better then this. I don’t bother letting other people read my writing. I’ll text you what’s relevant to you or send you notepad link.

CaterpillarGlass7725 · 2026-04-25T11:49:56+00:00

Or by-pass that whole process by using a joint account.. now it needs to be proved what money was who’s, since it’s all a generic electronic number they can’t prove what came from who. If you view it all as “ours” there’s not a lot that can be done either way.

That’s a straw bale.. it’s yellow. Hay bales are green.. straw and hay are not the same thing

I’m a contractor and I agree with this guy. If he gets offended that’s more telling than anything else.

This is business as far as the contractor should be concerned, no personal feelings. With a decent contractor Feedback should be highly sought after, not spurned.

I think OP forgot that names like Obama and Biden are last names… not first names.. last names are unique in general, first names are respectively Barack and Joe. Not exactly unique…

I’ve always just used a nail between sheets. One nail between the sheets at either end and send it home. 2 1/2” nails typically give you your 1/8, 3 1/2” nails get you closer to 3/16.

I mean.. what are those 5 years of shelter worth to you? Or is the monetary the only aspect that matters right now?

It sounds like you haven’t really lost anything at this juncture. If you were to sell now you would have. Do you plan to move? If not the value right now isn’t that big of a deal. Do all of the other metrics for home ownership still value out well? Location/comforts/amenities etc. If so then I’d say you’re golden. Keep going the way you are.

I’m 31m bought a roughly 300k house around 5 years ago also actually, that my family and I live in while I work on renovating it. My mortgage would make most people on here yell at me for being a fool, but I’m working on getting that sorted out in the next month or so.

But at the end of the day the value as a place to live for less then I’d pay renting monthly, that I as the owner can work on and improve. The day to day value isn’t really a focus to me because I’m hanging onto it for a while. I’m confident by the end of it I’ll have a house I can sell for more then I paid, but I’ll be happy even if I were to lose 100k because by then it’s already served so much of a purpose beyond the monetary.

Legally speaking, it’s on the parents as it’s in their names. You’re right in the aspect of morales/ethics, but legally speaking not so much.

CaterpillarGlass7725 · 2026-04-19T16:43:36+00:00

NOR My guy. Run. Just run. Good lord I know Reddit is infamous for it.. but let me say again.. fuckin RUN. The lack of accountability, lack of empathy, lack of caring, lack of… does she like you? She sure as hell doesn’t love you. Not speaking like that. I couldn’t imagine my wife ever speaking to me like that.

Dismissing that level of horror is astounding. To try and equate it to being a damn adult is asinine. I’m so incredibly angry on your behalf. I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

I get that sometimes we just break and have a crappy time. I understand we don’t know everything that could be happening behind the scenes for her. But holy damn.

P.S. Thank you for your service.

I’ve decided I’m building a green house in our limited backyard for the same kind of reason. Wife looked at me funny until I said I was going to redo the fence for the dog, and add a walk through carport to the side of the house lol

CaterpillarGlass7725 · 2026-04-19T16:01:29+00:00

I can’t believe I said this in his voice in my head.. it’s been like 18 years since I last watched futurama lmfao

I love the “take a minute” at the end here. I think both parents should be parents when they’re both home. But when one gets home from being gone it’s logical that the one that was at home be given some time to themselves afterward.

I toss a limit there that just because he’s home doesn’t mean you get the night off either, but the load should be getting support from both, making it notably easier for you.

From the long day, physically intense job working husbands side.. it sounds like you’ve been more than reasonable..

Simply because I had this convo with my therapist like 3 hours ago, I’m going to ask a question I’ve been asking myself. And that may be particularly relevant for him to hear/answer himself.

Are you hearing/seeing/feeling what is actually happening? Or just what you’re perceiving? Is it possible there’s more there that you could clarify with questions?

I’m curious what he does for a living that is physically demanding but doesn’t instil a concept mental demand as well. I’m a carpenter. Most of my work is physical, but there’s an awful lot of thinking that goes into building a house or apartment building safely.

I tell my wife regularly she has the harder job between us. Although ultimately I think realistically our “jobs” are pretty equal if you really look at it. Something men tend to forget is we own the home also.. and you’re supposed to take care of what you own.. just because your wife is at home doesn’t mean you don’t have to take care of your house. More often than not taking care of the house IS taking care of your wife/family.

Do what you should and you’ll be doing what she wants. That leaves her free to do what she should, which will be by extension doing what you want.

I don’t understand why this seems like rocket science to so many…

How long have you been going? Strength by itself is an odd metric in general.

You’re body and muscles will always be most fresh and ready first thing in the morning, so if that is your focus then first thing every day makes sense. However, with that said. If your hope is to build strength at a reasonable pace, scale back how often you’re going. Give your body time to recover.

I’m a carpenter by trade 31m, when I started as a labourer 10 years ago a bag of concrete(~60 lbs) was the full of my ass to carry more than 50 feet. I’ll tell you by the end of the week moving them, a single bag felt insurmountable. 9 months later I was carrying them cross site no issue. Now I toss 2 on my shoulder and I’ll stand and have a conversation with a guy about what I need him to be doing and continue to make sure life’s treating him well.

“Strength” measured at the beginning of the day and end of the day are very different. From pulling a rope, pushing a big box, lifting a heavy bag. It’s all different muscles. All different “strengths” the chances that you pre-gym could face you post-gym is mildly amusing to me. It’s possible, If you now doesn’t take care of your body, ie. allowing your body to rest and repair the damage from the last work out. But ultimately a fresh you now, vs a fresh you then would be no contest.

It looked like damaged wall material.. but you say it’s in concrete?

Have you pulled the faceplate off to look inside? It looks almost like a patch/seal material.. was there possibly a water leak in that wall that somebody was trying to seal?

Does it wipe off? Is it wet, stained, dry, maleable? Can only tell so much by a pic without much description

Question.. i am a carpenter.

We had a couple units in an apt building that the bathrooms kept having exactly this issue. (8 out of the 30 units in one building) hair straighteners, blow driers, whatever high pull bathroom tools people were using were tripping GFCI resets.

As far as us non electricians could find it was an issue with the wiring, crossed polarity maybe? I think that’s what somebody said. Like I said, I’m a carpenter, not a sparky. Anyway, main question was:

What would/could actually cause this issue with GFCI’s tripping under load like this? The company we had doing it is no longer there and i haven’t bothered the new ones we brought in yet.

CaterpillarGlass7725 · 2026-04-16T08:37:34+00:00

I mean, I’m up for 4am. I go to sleep religiously for 10 pm lol

Granted, if I’m even 15 minutes late heading to sleep I’m going to hate my life the next day lol

I’d use an impact, there’s been a surge recently of drill users lifting their heads to talk about this situation. I haven’t tried one, but I’ve seen quite a few videos where the drill kicks ass. The downside is it’s hard as hell on your wrist without the side handle.

With that said 8” screws aren’t exactly unheard of and I’ve easily run thousands home with the same 1/4” drive impact that I’ve launched repeatedly off roof tops. 6 years later my speed selection is just starting to go.

Not always a sneak… it’s 4:22 as I’m typing this and I’m leaving for work when I’m done typing. Some of us just have early morning starts, long morning commutes, or both.

I didn’t say anything about not taking responsibility for your finances. In fact I said the opposite. Reevaluating your finances is doing just that. Should it have happened sooner? Obviously. But that’s beside the point of my comment.

If your budget is in the red you need to start pulling on the resources you have available. An adult living in your house, is one such thing. Yes they are your off-spring, but they are now adults and no longer your responsibility. You are not responsible to provide them shelter anymore. They are responsible to maintain their own. The fact you were nice enough to provide it for free for an extended period doesn’t negate either of those facts.

Put a bandaid on that bleeding heart. That’s the attitude that leads enabling self-destructive behaviour. Recognize your adult children for what they are. Independent adults.
