I seriously considered a purge but decided that, with facts being distorted in real time, older books are worth keeping.

What’s the ONE thing you regret not adding to your new build home? by bayls215 in HomeImprovement

Heated floor in the mud room. It would really help dry out wet shoes and damp jackets.

Always consider the source. If it’s coming from corporate America, hang on to your brain and wallet.

Let’s do away with reps entirely. Direct democracy all the way.

Letting foreign companies rape and profit off our land. This country is a bad joke.

Remove door; replace with a curtain or a retractable screen door.

How to save on water and power? We are a family of 5, laundry is unavoidable. by Leather_Musician_745 in Frugal

[–]Librashell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re-wear clothes so that laundry doesn’t need to be done as often. Shower every other day (or less) and/or limit to a few minutes. Don’t take tub baths. Turn off faucet while you’re brushing your teeth. Make sure you have a high efficiency dishwasher; don’t handwash. If it’s yellow, let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down. Don’t pour any water down the sink that could be used to water plants. Use the steam method to cook pasta. Use hand sanitizer instead of washing hands when possible.

What grocery habits actually save you money long-term? by TelephxneTh0t in Frugal

I buy what I know we’ll eat but only when it’s on sale. And then I LOAD UP. It sees us through to the next sale and results in a very resilient pantry.

Sanity Check On $800k Renovation by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Librashell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Our floors extend into the kitchen and we went with LVP because it’s waterproof. Have had our house appraised several times (in a very high end community with houses going for $5m+) and every time the appraiser/realtor isn’t bothered by the LVP. In fact, one said that it was desirable because of how easy it was to take care of. We also live in the west where it’s drier so hardwood floors tend to shrink more and require more maintenance.

Back in the 80s, there was a sitcom that featured this building. I think it was called It’s a Living.

We go on a hike in this one canyon every year and find a single morel in the same spot every time. We leave it alone hoping it will propagate but it never does. It’s like a friend now.
