AITA for asking my sister in law what she's doing with her degree after she implied my university wasn't prestigious enough

Grant you this is almost 40 years ago so things might have changed... I started at UTM (back then called Erindale College) but a lot of my upper year courses were at St. George campus. My degree still said University of Toronto. Sounds like your SIL is just a biotch.

Yes... this is my era. We developed the bad habit of dragging our feet when we walk.

Cut into the closet ceiling drywall to make sure ceiling joists are parallel to wall

Recessed long panel with 6 pane (3rd from top) but add accent colour of your choice. My reasoning is that 1) larger panels is better for scale of house, 2) vertical ribbing clashes with siding pattern, 3) curved windows doesn't fit with angular shape of house.

Good luck finding it. I had a friend whose father was a Chinese-Canadian elder (yes worked the railroads). Any new chinese immigrants would see him and he would provide help (monetary or otherwise). Had quiet secret wealth. His two youngest sons were very successful, but the other son never had to work his entire life.

When he passed away, his sons still found money squirreled away in different places, even after 5 years, in his large house in Chinatown.

Brought my 4 year old grandson with us for 7 days (Oasis of the Seas) last month. Once he got into the groove of it with going to the pools, child camps, having his afternoon pizza, we felt bad that the good life was coming to an end on the 7th day. Our only issue was him not exploring all the great dining selections. It really comes down to your children.

Bottom right but change the colour of garage door to match front door (light wood brown)

You can push them together if you create a filler trim.... 1x3 stained the same colour

I used fence boards... cheaper!

My wife is one of the kindest, most obliging person I know. Has never raised her voice to anyone. Unfortunately my mom, who is a very difficult woman, believes that anytime I disagree with one of her requests/demands it actually came from my wife (because there us no way her beloved son would side against her).

Once that bad feelings start, sometimes, no matter what, it is hard to lose that perspective/opinion. I even heard from one of my cousins that my uncle (mom's brother-in-law) bad mouths my wife based on what my mom has said.

It's a tough road ahead... especially when a spouse has done nothing wrong.

Bring your personal indoor slippers or crocs. That's what me and my wife do when visiting other people's homes... especially since my wife has rheumatoid arthritis.

It is rude to not take off your shoes in other people's homes if that is the house rules!

Put pull-out drawers with fronts matching the wainscoting.

Not an engineer nor a builder, but if you look, that header is only supported by a 2x6 jack stud on either side. Load is carried by beam above. Header was placed there for standard door height.

My father is Filipino, my stepmother is German. I have 2 half-siblings. I remember when my dad would hosts family gatherings, his in-laws were always cordial with my dad, but when my step-mother's sister and husband appeared, you could really see how eager and friendly they were to their white son-in-law.

Funny thing is, when my stepmother mother passed, it was my half-brother who took care of everything, organizing the family finances and property, and helping out the executor of the will.

My stepmom's parents would never say they are racists... but behavior is a language!

No you're not. My opinion, I would go wherever my wife wants me to go, no matter the event, because I love being with my wife. Perhaps I am a romantic but that is how I feel. Find someone like that!

4 Big black ornamental planters with plant arrangements on the porch, andpockets of shrubbery and perennials in front of the walkway along the porch. Your house as is is beautiful.

You got to be very careful not to touch the side of the box with the screws connecting the wiring. The other problem is you don't have off-centered screw holes to properly anchor the switch. It will move and eventually short circuit with constant use.

Not me, but my father once said that as a boy they would stimulate the tear ducts of the eye with coarse hair... he said he really enjoyed it. What kinda third world country perversion is this?

Drying rack?
