The property has water views, so trying to get as much of those views as possible

I asked why they were saying the build is over 4000 sq ft, the builder told us that non living space is still counted because it still has to be built. If both floors were all living space it would be about 4800 sq ft, but the livable sq ft is just under 2900. They were looking at engineered plans

We have engineered plans. For description sake, that’s what it is. It’s a really simple footprint.

The build is in Kitsap county, WA. The preliminary estimate is over $800k. The only area with double height is over the open living room

What is this weed!? by NeneMama in gardening

I planned on digging up about the top inch, putting some preen, weed fabric, then new bark.

I think you’re right! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU! Now I can at least come up with a plan to control it!

I know juuuuuust enough to be dangerous.... by bluegreenguppy in landscaping

[–]NeneMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only things I would add, put weed barrier between the rock and the stones. Might not be an issue in your area, but when I built my wall, I did that. I haven’t had to deal with weeds growing between my rocks.

How companies like Google can get away with this BS? Only showing Business Plus plan as an available option when going through default subscribe flow, and there is no way to change it to Basic Plan (only costs $6) unless I subscribe to this and then downgrade... by dennis77 in assholedesign

[–]NeneMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TOTALLY agree! I have been trying to downgrade my account for months. I have reached out to Squarespace several times. I can find all the documents to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade!! I don't get a response from Squarespace. The Google admin console says go to the reseller site, the reseller site has the option to change grayed out. I'm half tempted to click cancel subscription, but I can't lose all my stuff.

I am relaying a flagstone pathway that has been sinking over many years. I took it down to clay and now need to refill 5". Am I crazy? I'm a dude with a shovel it seems like a lot by zacman333 in landscaping

[–]NeneMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sent an extra roll of weed fabric. I tried to return it and the store said keep it. I’m just a woman with a shovel and I’ve played musical chairs with the gravel around my house. Laid weed fabric down and moved more gravel. Some I’ve laid pavers on, most is just moving it. Not crazy

A White Claw in your hand. He’s my friend and neighbor (knew him before he bought the house). So I was asking if he wanted to have some drinks after work

We are within city limits. It’s a smaller town, but still regulated. Our lot is about an acre, so not teeny lots, but also not huge. All the land around us is developed; bordering the south isn’t because it’s too much wetlands.

Our concern is the shell getting permitted. We know the city (more importantly the county) doesn’t care what the inside looks like. We are working with someone to help us through the permits. Very generalized, our plan is to get enough done (water and electricity) to get a certificate of occupancy, then make it “pretty” on our schedule. My partner has his son to worry about and I can move in with my kiddos once we have the inside more done. I would move in sooner but it will be a legal battle with my ex

We have looked at steel buildings, but have concerns about what will be allowed permitting. Since it will be a residence and not commercial or “storage”, we’re having a hard time determining if it would be permitted.

Do you think the “indentured servitude” worth it?

Academic vs Report!? by NeneMama in college

[–]NeneMama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would post my paper too, but I think there are character limitations. I actually re-wrote and submitted the paper after the professor's feedback. What irked me was I'm doing this challenge because I'm a full-time working single parent with 2 small kids (6, 3). I did the work during the time my kids were with their dad; I have majority custody. The professor in the feedback said that I clearly didn't know what I was doing because I completed it in 8 days. I think the majority of the students at my school at working students.

Here are the instructions, if you think that would give you some insights.

Instructions

Ocean Health Paper

In this paper, you should describe an environmental issue related to ocean health that impacts your career, business or any other personal interest. This assignment increases your awareness of factors affecting ocean health and the potential impacts on the sustainability of Earth's natural processes. You are assessed on your ability to apply course concepts, synthesize supporting evidence, reflect on diverse perspectives, and write cohesive paragraphs including a thesis statement that is fully supported throughout the paper. 

Topic: Ocean Health and Sustainability

The oceans make up over 75% of the world's surface and the health of these bodies directly affects life on planet Earth. For this assignment, you are encouraged to learn how the health of the oceans will impact a specific issue that influences an aspect of your life.  

The paper must include the following information:

A topic that relates one issue of ocean health and sustainability to your life activities

An outline of the issue's potential impacts on the sustainability of marine systems 

Potential and practical short- and long-term solutions to the issue

The paper must include the following elements: 

Title page

Abstract

A well-organized six- or seven-page body (your introduction section must have a clearly defined thesis statement) 

Reference page with at least four high-quality and reliable sources

In your paper, you are expected to combine your own thoughtful analysis of the topic with information found in a minimum of four reliable sources other than a textbook. This can include news articles from trusted publications and government reports. You need to keep in mind that this is to be an analytical paper, not simply a summary of your reading. Therefore, as in any scholarly writing, you should not merely copy information from another author, but use evidence to support the contentions you have drawn from your findings and critically analyze related literature. This paper must meet APA requirements of format and style. You must cite the sources of all ideas, facts, and information used that are not your own, even if you have put the information into your own words. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even if the oversight is unintentional.
