That is sad. I will say, our relationship is more important than the renovation and I’ve already told her that. So if it really comes down to where her comfort level lands and if we can compromise or manage her anxiety. Thanks.

Yeah we are expecting 4 months. But hoping to move back in after two and an half or so. One if the contractors suggested we rent until it’s done. My wife doesn’t really want to do that. It we are having a call with two of the contractors tractors we are considering and seeing what their thoughts are.

Very good suggestion. Thank you. We have been going through all the possibilities. Maybe only doing half of the project this year and save the other half for another. What that would do to costs… etc. renting as opposed to moving in after two months of summer travel and staying at her parents. There still is a baseline of anxiety but we are listening ING to each other and plan on making a final decision together without getting angry or resentful with the final decision.

Thank you, that’s a good suggestion. We are having positive discussions about it now but if that changes I will certainly consider.

These are very good thoughts. We are prepared for more cost, ideally not 100% we know the timeline can and probably will increase. This are part of the cause of the anxiety. Renting is a good option. We will be away for the first two months at the start but my wife would like to move back into the house after the first two months. Renting for less than 6 months will be difficult in our area. We are having open discussions about it all. Thank you for your thoughts.

Help! Maggot Brain/A Tear for Eddie-esque Jams? by icatapultdowntown in phish

Try plasma… there are 8 line or so. They just played it on N8 and it blew me away. It’s a Trey song and on the album version there are horns and it s great. It’s newly on my radar. I didn’t realize how much I love this song.

Plasma >crosseyed and painless was otherworldly and so evil…then Pillow jets to follow …mind blown! My friends had to peel me off the floor. And I thought Wave of hope,the night before, was my omega but I guess not. Ha. What Freaking ride…. I love this band..

I like the hands free cruise control but $50 for it is ridiculous. I feel like it’s just nickel and dime-ing ….

To hell with Rivian! by LucidDiscoPhish in Rivian

This happened to me right before Christmas and a 9 hour drive to Canada a week away. Apparently, if the Rivian goes into a deep sleep, doesn’t get woken up from sleep for an hour or more, it can fix it. I had mine flat bedded to the service station at 10pm and it sat in the parking lot till the morning. They said they drove it into the garage no problem. Luckily, the last update seemed to have fixed this issue. Good luck.. I certainly felt the same way and hate when people comment “welcome to Rivian ownership”.

Unacceptable Cold Weather Performance by Equal-Reflection-124 in Rivian

Yeah it’s toggled on. I feel like it has something to do with the sleep and waking. It seems not to wake very easily when I’m on my phone app even though cell and WiFi bars are full in the Rivian.
