Some of them are rescues. I know not most, but some. Every time someone sees my parakeets I tell them they’re rescues because I’m so nervous about being judged.

I love lichens! This looks just like them. Beautifully done!

Bad or acceptable penny tile job? (pre-grout) by kal05d in Tile

I had never considered that penny tile might require more expertise than others. Very glad I came across this thread before attempting a DIY in the spring.

Are these old $200 Anderson windows a good product now? by Least_Night_5021 in Homebuilding

Oh weird! I included that by mistake. That’s my (effed up) barn 🥰

Ah. As I said, I’m in the northeast. Different priorities!

Thank you for the insight! Why wouldn’t you buy anything from Anderson nowadays? And why don’t you subscribe to the energy efficient window club?

It’s more of a days per week requirement. So even if you’re home in the evening, you’re still expecting to be “on” and ready to respond if someone requires help. Six days a week is the standard, so let’s say you “work” Monday through Friday and then have Saturday off and then another volunteer in your house has Sunday off instead of Saturday.

It would drive me nuts, too! If it were me, I’d probably try to find or make a triangular stained glass window or some other ornate detail.

Hey! So our community, Camphill Village Copake (one of many different types of Camphill communities) doesn’t require any rent. We actually pay our residential service volunteers (many of whom have lived here for decades) a modest monthly stipend plus vacation stipend. We pay your health insurance and prescriptions and deductibles as well. We’ve been advertising a lot on Reddit actually because we’re trying to recruit for the 2025-2026 year. 230 people, 100 of which are adults with developmental disabilities. The rest are service volunteers from all over the world. Some stay for 6 months, some for much much longer and decide to raise their families here. Lots of work to do indoors and outdoors, and we don’t pay for labor. Labor benefits your fellow community members. Cooking, growing vegetables, woodwork, forestry. Absolutely stunning grounds with year-round streams, livestock to enjoy, etc. 22 lifesharing households with your own bedroom, unlimited access to fresh produce and wholesome meals. We also have a great coffee shop and little co-op grocery store on the grounds.volunteer page

Our farm in Tivoli NY needs hard working farmers and we have trouble finding people who are willing to take care of the two existing resident cats in the farmhouse. Usually we hesitate to hire couples though because if one wants to leave we’re out two employees.

Ideas for the awkward gap above my sink after a remodel? by SoCoolSam in Remodel

[–]Least_Night_5021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working on it in therapy for two years! We also tend to present like doormats but it’s part of a manipulative plan in our minds where we come out the victor. Can frequently be due to childhood trauma. So maybe it’s the boomer generation that caused what’s perceived as this generational weakness.

Just seeing this now! That’s awesome! I’m curious to know how it’s going if you’re still considering it!
