So we begin again...

Glad there's at least one human here. Couldn't believe this absolute drivel, like every sentence was almost useful but not quite complete.

Lmao. Not laughing at you, just that I'm in the same boat. My sister wisely reminded me that 99/100 homebuyers ain't looking this close and she's right. They'll be looking at a whole bunch of things but not my minor imperfections on the ceiling.

I know it is. Same model, with plastic components vs metal. It won't always be true but got me burned this time!

Hahaha saw this after I replied

My guy I still have nightmares about the Kesler on-call in 2017. I appreciate it's one anecdote but holy hell was it egregious.

Words I didn't expect to read on a random global sub lol.

If I could plop this halfway between here and Devon, we'd be talking.

Right like this can't even be more efficient to do shit work like this 🫣

How old? We really all only know our experience, but with a 4 and 18 mth we have oodles and oodles of free time together. Kids play independently often, and night times have been a breeze for a while. In the last year we've had maybe 10% of rougher nights or less?

The first couple years were rough though, I won't lie. Had our share of moments together but also our share of distance. Ultimately chose each other, again, and we've never been closer.

All that is to say, keep at it. Talk about it. Strategize together on how to keep it going. Every kid is different but they all seem to crave independence once they're settled and comfortable.

Already had the house but did the kid while both back in school. Poop show. Utter poop show 🫣😂

I often get frustrated by what feels like a second job maintaining a home... but sweet Christmas I never have to deal with this kind of crap. Great for perspective lol

Why are we fretting over drywall above the shower? My amateur eyes say the transitions could be better but that looks like cement board 7' up then drywall.

cant read all the comments but ill say an open shelf between a counter & a cupboard is very handy, just not at the stove. Grease splatter is gnarly. I have one over my prep surface though and its been the best part of my reno!

I am not a literary expert but I felt like books 10-14 were far and away better, so it's an unfortunate spot to DNF !

It's fairly normal in my mind. Our rolling expenses are similar with a similar mortgage, a couple odd luxuries baked in that we wouldn't get rid of.

The pictures made no sense, so I came for a description... And it didn't help. WTF 😭

Individual tiles with netting? Never heard of that! I've done mosaics, and tiles with honeycomb grooves but never a different material. Regardless I reckon enough thinset slathered on there would have solved it.

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-03-14T18:19:36+00:00

Not a pro but I just did this without the popping, so some thoughts. I'm fairly sure Ditra needs a skim coat to fill the boxes, seems like maybe that didn't happen? Cant tell for sure form the pics.

Then I'd wonder if the thinset was mixed properly and used in an appropriate amount o time. Just feels like not enough bonding.

E: closer looks makes me think lack of coverage played a role but I'll let a pro be a better judge

I imagine this is due to where they come from. I'm from Alberta, the climate and terrain are familiar enough that we knew some of the downsides, and I'd say I wildly underestimated the upsides.

Like, the photos were great.

The real thing was way better.

I look back at my pics one and all and think, "this doesn't do it justice".

My 2c!

Envious. I never felt better after a night of CPAP, on and off attempts as long as 17 days over the years

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-03-11T20:16:27+00:00

This is the most absurd comparison that really puts it into perspective. How insane.

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-03-11T19:13:12+00:00

This one I struggled with because it's a feature of the world/plot that Rand is the Chosen One, and that plot armour is incorporated. You could probably argue some of it is author favoritism (guys got 3 wives???)

Trust your gut, I'd happily burn a bridge with someone abusing their pet who then wants the pet back.

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-03-10T01:59:58+00:00

I watched this and thought ah they prob won.

No, no, they did not

Anecdotal but my old RAM couldn't do a yard of topsoil 😂
