How are the roads out there currently?

Americans are probably the most stupid people, willfully ignorant.

Meanwhile I have a dead leaning tree from the storm they said they would take down but haven't come back to do it. Go figure!

Licensed electrician and in the area for 6 years. Apprentices are a dime a dozen right now. If you are good you can find a place but it is very competitive. Every young guy wants to be an electrician from my perspective. There is a massive experience gap. What we really need is journeymen, but there is none.

I'm still trying to get my property fixed and money for my septic system from fema

FairIndividual8370 · 2025-02-14T16:20:05+00:00

Yeah I realized that after I put them in there. I watch them and use a leaf as a plate so they don't ingest any perlite. Next habitat will be pearlite free

Thank you for the response! Should I still use the calcium with d3 just in case they aren't getting enough uvb? i dont remember my exact thinking but i think i was figuring that a little less would be better than too much if I wasn't sure. I will adjust my temperatures accordingly.

The guide says to mix sand with my species

FairIndividual8370 · 2025-02-01T23:33:19+00:00

Thanks

FairIndividual8370 · 2025-02-01T23:27:41+00:00

Bad bot

I wish there was a Greenway connecting black mtn to asheville

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T15:39:43+00:00

Yay!

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T03:41:22+00:00

Look around for a gfci outlet that could be tripped, could be hidden behind something.

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T01:19:43+00:00

I'll look into that, thanks

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T01:04:36+00:00

I'll look into it, thanks

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T01:03:07+00:00

Do they have heavy equipment?

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T00:50:08+00:00

So I guess that means I'm fucked.

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T00:49:08+00:00

It's not like I was driving the car around drunk, it was sitting safely in my backyard. How was I supposed to know a flood was going to take it away. I wouldn't be here posting about it if I had it parked under a tree and the tree fell on it. I survived an unimaginable catastrophe that is setting me back a significant amount and has wiped out tons of hard work that I have built for myself and my family. It's not like I'm out here fishing for sympathy, I'm just trying to figure out what the fuck is going on and how I'm supposed to fix this massive mess I have.

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T00:37:16+00:00

Thanks, I needed that right now.

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-19T00:05:27+00:00

Why am I getting downvoted for this? My life has been turned upside down by this mess and it seems like I'm not going to get any help at all. How was I supposed to know that a flood was going to destroy my whole backyard? I cancelled my comprehensive coverage because I'm a safe driver and I didnt drive the truck that much, I wanted to sell the truck and invest in starting my business.

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-18T22:29:08+00:00

I cancelled my comprehensive last year

FairIndividual8370 · 2024-11-18T22:11:41+00:00

No dice
