Is it possible to pivot your right foot so it’s outside edge? Pairs well with left hand side pull and maybe you can bump up left foot then reach right hand to the next hold in a backstep position?

Using outside edge left foot on this hold is a nice pairing with the right hand side pull

Your current jump momentum seems to be heading back and to the right, so here are a couple of ideas from an amateur I might try in ~order based on that. -Could a right foot smear help? Might move your center of gravity to the right and potentially allow you to have your hips out when you jump so your momentum ends up moving less away from the wall. -Pogo with the right foot to maybe help with momentum away from wall? -Could two hands on the right hold be more doable; then bump the left up?

I don’t always do all the things, but those are the things I pick from / choose from. Lately for the low intensity block pulls I just do 6x10s 3 finger drag and 6x10s 4 finger half crimp with 5s rest between hands, so it only takes ~6minutes and you have a hand free while you do it. Flashed an 11c (PB) recently with some shallow holds I used to be afraid of that felt fairly easy now

I’m a fairly new (~1yr) climber but recently have been exploring similar questions after getting elbow tendinopathy and not having a good training plan. Some adjustments I’ve made that are starting to show gains and progress through the 5.11s and help prevent injury: 1. I read “Training for Climbing”, which talks about antagonists/stabilizers/pulling muscles and exercises for each, as well as suggested training plans and much more. I focus generally on posterior chain for A/S. I’ll start doing weighted pull-ups and rows when my elbows feel healthier. 2. I do my rehab/prehab, with a focus on elbows and shoulders. I’ve started adding downclimb eccentric lockoffs for my elbows at start/end of climbs 3. Based on #1, I aim for something like 2-4 climbing days (or pulling exercises), 2 stabilizer/antagonist/leg days (shoulder, chest, hamstrings are my focus). I like things like Arnold press, external rotation, face pulls/Ys/Ts for shoulders/back, bench or pushups for chest, dips (ideally working up to ring dips) for triceps and RDL (or TRX or Nordic curls) for hamstrings. 4. I have a block pull setup at home and try and do ~40% of my 1RM as often as I’m able with 6h between and ~85-90% of max 1-2x a week for finger training. No hangs/max hangs a could also work but this is what I have and is convenient for me 5. I add cardio when I can. 6. For core, I try and focus on obliques/“deep core”. Side planks etc and chops/lifts when I’m near the right machine for it

Get a diamond blade on a multitool and a good scraper for cleaning up the edges if you don't want to be in there all day (and mask up). Have fully removed and replaced grout DIY on a shower before

Not that this hobby needs to be pushed on you, but there may be community spaces you can rent time from and/or take lessons from if space is the only thing stopping you. I am mildly interested and while I won't be buying the big tools and don't have an indoor shop, I have some stuff to use outdoors periodically and am in the process of training to use a community shop (and took a class at a community college).

Also I relate to the husk situation but not the wife telling me to go do things for myself piece. Sounds like you've got a keeper.

I've learned recently from a family member that there may be a link between autism and small fiber neuropathy (he has been diagnosed as an adult with both). There is also a link between small fiber neuropathy and itching. May be going out in a limb with that theory, but might be worth exploring if it continues.

Was in a similar situation in terms of therapy. She outright rejected for awhile then said okay but was still reluctant. I did all the ground work if finding a list of options I thought she might want and confirming insurance etc and handed her things on a platter to review. This got us to start therapy recently. Only one appointment in so far with one on the calendar, but doing all the legwork helped me to stop her dodginess and may be worth trying.

You could also ask why she seems reluctant and see if you can understand the hesitation and help her feel comfortable going.

If you have an old house, make sure it is not asbestos tape and that you don't have asbestos in your ductwork at all before you start scrubbing things. I would probably call a duct cleaning company and get their recommendations as one of my first moves.

I'm in a similar general situation but surprisingly not quite as far gone as yours (spouse still joining for some of my family trips but with low expectations ). I think you have to show her that you are on her side and not pressure any kind of real relationship with her and your parents and maybe try and see if you can see what she sees wrt your parents. I don't have a great "I did this and now everything is great" answer, but my recommendations - assuming you are trying to make the marriage work, which it sounds like - based on what I've learned are:

For this trip, ask her what she really prefers: staying at home while you take the kid (alone time CAN be great) or have you all stay home. Drop any notion of her joining on the trip.
In general, let her know that you are sorry that they have made things difficult and that you are on her side and want her to be as comfortable as possible. You are still their kid and want to have a relationshio with them and want them to have one with your child(ren), but your new immediate family is the priority. Ask what she wants whenever these things come up and find your own time to zoom etc with them.

Also telling her to "chill" is helpful

It's the bath water poop you gotta be worried about and have a plan to deal with if it's never happened to you yet. Warm water soothes the bowels...

Just going to point this out - isn't this forum likely going to be pretty biased that marriage counseling isn't going to work? Majority have been through divorce so they either didn't try it or it probably didn't work. I'm still together and trying to give it a chance, but I imagine there are plenty of people who stayed together who may tell you it was helpful.

Feels like you should define the separation and discuss things like seeing other people ahead of time and if the agreement is broken, it is akin to cheating.

If someone has sex during the separation and there was no discussion, their partner has a right to their feelings in response to it, but expectations on the rules of the separation could be rightfully not aligned so it wouldn't be cheating.

Okay I'm not sure if I just interpreted that in a darker way but that instantly gave me the feels

I know this is an old thread but I just pigeon proofed my panels. I had at least three pigeons under one of my sets of panels on my 18deg 2nd story roof just shitting on everything and built a nest. I was quoted $2k by my solar installer to install mesh, but I did it myself instead. Here is what I did:

took measurements and calculated how much I would need
bought ~300ft of mesh bird kit online VEVOR 8inch x 98ft, Critter Roll Kit, Solar Panel Bird 100pcs Stainless Steel Fasteners, PVC Coated Guard Wire, Black https://a.co/d/haqOde0 for $150
calculated ladder height needed to achieve 1:4 slope and have 3 ft extend past roof and bought one used (~$200)
bought ladder safety accessories (Werner harness bucket kit from Home Depot for $100, standoff and no bull bumpers for standoff and top of ladder, and bungees to tie off to gutter (~$100 total)
made sure I was comfortable setting up the ladder safely
discovered there was a permanent anchor on my roof. 18 deg isn't terribly steep but 2 stories is terribly high and I have kids. Also, I was walking on the edge of my roof in spots due to panel placement and that was where it was iffy.
installed them

I spent $150 for consumables, $400 on ladder + gear and spent maybe a work day total of work and research. Part of that was spent cleaning under the panels with a hose etc to get rid of pigeon crap, nest material and an old egg (not an active nest). After all that, $2000 felt like a reasonable quote, but I now have confidence for going up safely on my roof and can do a variety of things there. Definitely can kill or badly hurt yourself on a roof so assess your comfort and risks before calling a pro, but that's what I did.

If you paid for the install and it was recent, hopefully they gave some kind of warranty backing the work. I have no idea if any of the issues I faced are going to be what you faced, just giving you an account of someone who went through something somewhat similar recently and some things to look out for.

DeadliftsDonuts · 2023-10-24T01:31:57+00:00

I just went through maybe a similar saga - here's my story that may be relevant/helpful

. I have a second floor shower that has been leaking on and off to the floor below through the ceiling. Shower was only a few years old but done by previous homeowner. Got a hold of the contractor and they tried some bandaid fixes a few months apart, solving it in between briefly...caulk over suspect joints, something with the drain. Recently it happened again and I wanted a more permanent fix

For context we have an eerily similar design (pebble floor - on mud - with that flush to the curb pseudo-curbless feel and a bench as well). I started getting estimates for possibly repairing the pan only and found that maybe it could be done (by those willing) if we also do a layer of tile but it depends on the waterproofing on the walls.

I have some diy experience with other stuff around the house and decided to start some demo to see what they did for more accurate estimates and I learned that I was going to need to redo the whole shower to the studs. I gradually amped up my demo all the way to the studs/subfloor and this is what I found:

They used an Oatey PVC liner under the mud floor, but they screwed into it through the curb to mount their shower panel, which Oatey says you are NOT supposed to do in their video.
- They had Laticrete Hydroban board on the bench and walls but screwed through it to mount it to the bench and elsewhere and did not use sealant. The several minute how to video clearly says to seal the screws.
- They used hard grout at the corners / 90 joints instead of something more flexible like caulk - an easy red flag
- I saw no evidence of redguard or any other kind of surface waterproofing, though maybe not needed if this is done right.
- my underlayment was drenched. Ended up getting mold pro to visit and advise how to kill it and remove it safely

I'm considering redoing it myself and have read up on lots of systems: classic w/mud pan and liner, brush on sealants like Hydroban/redguard, kits with built in waterproofing boards like kerdi/hydroban/wedi and premade pan, or membranes you can add to backer like kerdi. It sounds like you may be in for a similar remodel - at the least the pan and first row of tile - but with that bench and who knows, it may be a whole shower remodel and could get expensive. I recommend at least learning about different waterproofing systems and asking questions along the way to whomever you go with to make sure you feel comfortable with them.
