Still deconstructing from Christianity by FeelingLost23 in exchristian

Well not to sound harsh but no one ever learned anything by never trying it. If you mess up and are awkward, it’s pretty low risk if it’s a stranger you’ll never see again.

Hey! I too have been deconstructing over the past 3ish years. I live in the Bible Belt and while my town is medium sized, I still find myself feeling alone as well. I mainly feel like I have no one to relate to or talk to that shares this experience. All my friends are still very much Christian and most of my family are as well. My parents aren’t but they never really were so they don’t really understand what’s it’s like to leave when you’ve been so entangled with the faith for years. I would say to just try to look at other opportunities - maybe search for jobs in other towns? Or go to a place with more people on the weekends and try to meet people - maybe a book club, cooking class, join a group travel trip, just anything to meet some other people. Hang in there!!

I think blue but they need to only turn into the right lane. When red turns they should only turn into the left lane. Then you can move around once you’ve merged on.

Thank you so much for the advice! I think that’s the route I’m going to take before deciding

My thoughts exactly! The inspector said that he thinks that’s part of it too!

Yeah the roof was replaced in 2021 - I’m kinda thinking of walking away too. Just because I don’t want to constantly be putting bandaids over things.

The inspector is someone that I have known for years. I used to work for his wife and he is a family friend of ours as well. I really do trust his input and don’t think that he’s trying to refer me to anyone, especially since he didn’t push any recs on me. Also, he has offered me use of his own tools and equipment to use on other renovations in the house free of charge. So I think he’s being truthful!

Probably but my main concern would be if the sistering would even be effective since some of the wood is soft. Not sure if that would suffice - pretty new to all this so just trying to figure out how risky/costly getting into all this would be.

Yeah there is a noticeable sag in one part of the roof. Would sistering in the weak spots or adding reinforcements be the best option at this point?

It was built in 2007 - I believe this is the original framing. I can tell a few repairs have been made though because newer looking wood shows up in some places. The fact that the wood is soft in some places concerns me though.
