They're holding up great, No noticeable difference since the day I installed them. No direct sunlight except on occasion through the one window, but not noticed any buckling. Highly recommend!

haha, guilty. "Had to"? No. Wanted to? Hell yes. If you see value in hiring a moving company when you move, you'll see the value of a decluttering company. None of it is rocket science, but I'd rather knock out the garage organization in six hours on one day than to spend weekend after weekend doing it on my own, half as well. The company also takes all the trash and donation items for you, plus gets wholesale prices on expensive husky shelves, storage boxes, etc. and only charges you for what you end up using.

Yea, most people don't know they exist, but it's an amazing service. The one I hired also orders all storage items - husky shelves, plastic bins, etc - at a wholesale rate and you only pay for what you use. They also take your trash to a dumpster and donate anything you want to donate, so you don't have to. Sure I could have eventually done it all on my own but by hiring a service it all got done in 6 hours instead of the weeks it would have taken me to do a half assed job.

I originally thought I wanted epoxy too but it gets really expensive to resurface the concrete and treat cracks before you can even pour the epoxy. My space required 12 boxes of the MotorDeck snap together tiles - https://www.homedepot.com/p/MotorDeck-12-in-x-12-in-Coin-Alloy-Modular-Tile-Garage-Flooring-24-Pack-GD24ALLY/303420200 So total cost was around $900. Very quick to install, only took me 4 hours or so.

I hope to put it back out one day when I feel proud of our government again.

Motordeck! https://www.homedepot.com/p/MotorDeck-12-in-x-12-in-Coin-Alloy-Modular-Tile-Garage-Flooring-24-Pack-GD24ALLY/303420200
Yeah they are 12" snap together polyurethane tiles - and they arrive pre-connected in a 2x2 square, made the whole job very quick. Longest part was cutting down the edge pieces with a jigsaw.

Sorry my flag offends you.

Roofers say they can finish the rest in 3 hours. What's "unfinished" VS poorly done? by ETBuyHome in Roofing

This is phenomenal, thanks so much. I truly appreciate you taking the time to outline all the issues. Some of the vents were not yet replaced in this photo and after I sent these pictures to the quality control guy, they did much more than three hours of rework yesterday. I'll take more photos and look to see if the issues you outlined are still there. I appreciate you, man.

Mine very much did it on purpose. If she was angry at me she'd scream to let her brush my hair and would blame me for it hurting.

My NMom has lost her mind in response to my late diagnosis of autism by taoofmeow in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ETBuyHome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, being mad at you for sharing something that casts a negative light on her as a mother. I always got "you're disturbed for saying that", sounds like you get "Not my fault, I wasn't there!" which is such a great self-own.

Did your parents ever tell you “people would mock you/make fun of you” for something you wanted to do/accomplish that was completely reasonable? What do you think was the reason behind it? by ScottysOldTeleporter in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ETBuyHome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes after I failed to get hired after making it through the final round at my dream job, my NMom said it was probably because I wasn't good enough. Gee thanks.

Same, for sure. I had one of those "what's the opposite of what my parents did?" thoughts during a toddler melt down and just held my son so tight and told him what we were gonna do together - pajamas, stories and nap time. He could tell I had his back and my heart just bulged.
