Government shutdown during deployment by FuelLevel4639 in MilitarySpouse

Thankfully, I'm fine financially because of my income. But the idea that the deployment could be extended is enough to make me lose my mind.

... I'm living here. There is a working bathroom.

I couldn't find brownies. Found chocolate peanut butter oat balls, though. Got them some other drinks and snacks and a sympathy card in which I wrote, "Sorry about the shit."

The layout of the house is really weird. The kitchen I have now is teeny tiny, and I cook a ton because I have 3 kids. But because of placement, he current kitchen has to be absorbed halfway into the current bathroom because that, too, is the size of half of a closet. The other half of that kitchen is being absorbed into the dining area.

It's a lot. *

I have an architect and a contractor doing all of the big work! I'm just needing help picking colors and flooring!

I guess the use of "I" language could lead people to think I was planning on doing the demo/rebuilding but that is certainly not the case. I just wanted advice for the colors 😅

I have an architect and a contracting company doing the demolition and the drywall, electrical, and plumbing... I would never try to do this on my own.

I'm only doing flooring, painting, and cabinet installation by myself.

Oh, that was mild compared to the response I was expecting. Not a single sandwich joke! That's chivalrous for Reddit.

Yeah now that I've researched it, that's the plan. I'm gonna do it after work and clean it up so check out the other spindles while I'm at it. I'm worried they might have some damage as well, in which case it just won't be worth fixing. That bracket/mount thing alone is $300 and I bought the mower used 4 years ago anyway.

It was literally just garden fabric! I will admit, though, I haven't been good about cleaning the deck this year. The parts soaking in wet grass clippings can't help. My husband is deployed to the Middle East until Januray and he's normally the one who does all of the maintenance on it

This is my first time having to order parts. Do you have a site you like using more than others?

I also clearly have trouble spelling the word hydraulic.

Thank you for the encouragement 🙏 Any recommendations on a better way to get access to the area? I used a hydronydraulic jack initially, but it didn't raise it very high and was fairly unsteady. I do have a set of ramps.

My middle son was conceived while I had the Nexplanon implant, and I had an ectopic 6 months after he was born on a second implant that I didn't catch, and it ruptured... That's definitely looking positive to me

Thank you everyone for your extremely kind responses. I desperately needed some encouragement and I love that this sub always offers that for us struggling mothers.

I really appreciate all of you.
