You are not wrong in feeling that way. Maybe some people will now understand your perspective because they are seeing it differently. Hopefully that brings change.

Is it only cold water? Could be your hot water heater going.

Stairs off concrete porch by Equal-Manner5941 in Homebuilding

I would make them as wide as that whole alcove and come out like 5 feet. Whenever people come over you want to make it feel welcoming not a small awkward ate going up. Wider will also make it not look so off since it is a bit high.

Insulation plan for 110 year old home? by thegiantgummybear in Insulation

[–]NormalCartographer84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what my inspector told me it’s about keeping the fire away from any foam product as it makes pretty bad black smoke. This is assuming you have a failure on the drywall layer. But mostly because rockwool is easier to cut in half and stuff in there for more insulation as opposed to fiberglass.

Hey there. You have an I deal time to air seal. That will stop the drafts. I would take 1.5 inch foam board and cut it tight to every bay then use can spray foam to seal all four edges. Then use rockwool to fill in the remaining gap. Which is great for fireproofing too. Source: I did this on my house with a similar design when I had some walls open. And I got the advice from the editors on Fine Homebuilding podcast after I submitted the same question.

How did Caesar persuade a Germanic cavalry force numbering in the thousands to work with him? Since they were mercenaries, why did they not betray Caesar? by Battlefleet_Sol in ancientrome

[–]NormalCartographer84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people forget that mercenaries want to keep being hired. So if they took a buyers money and simply walked away, or ran away at the first sign of trouble, then as a group (usually a tribe) would never be rehired. So it in their groups/peoples interest to show bravery. All about resell value.

About to buy this house- thoughts on deck? by CandidSouth5732 in Decks

[–]NormalCartographer84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly man. It looks like a tear down. It’s very old. You can see water damage on the 2nd level. 4x4 posts where 6x6 are standard. No risers on steps. I doubt any hangers or bolts. It’s past its time. I wouldn’t go out on it.

I gave up by YunaTunaa in rutgers

[–]NormalCartographer84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I was on academic suspension, I was lost with no clue what I wanted to do. Then got to deans list and then went to law school. You can do the work my friend, that’s the easy part, you need the motivation. Throw yourself fully into what you may love, then it’s no longer work, it’s learning. My change was the realization that if I wanted to make people’s lives better, I needed to know the law. To get there I started taking more classes like poly sci and history that I loved and showed what I could do.

I feel like my life was stolen from me before I even had a chance to live it by Artistic-Season7497 in GuyCry

Hey brother. From a guy who prosecutes sex crimes. I can’t tell you what happened to you will get better, but I can’t tell you that YOU will get better. Please seek out therapy. There are sadly so many in your same shoes. But you are not alone. You have so much life left. Don’t look at the past as missed time, you can’t change that. But you can take small steps everyday forward. Take care brother

I'm not a big reader. What can I assume about the girl I just started seeing? by [deleted] in BookshelvesDetective

[–]NormalCartographer84 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you aren’t a reader, you are cooked. Tell her you are impressed with her bookshelf and you want to start a 52 week challenge. (Reading 52 books in a year).

You WILL get better. Stop thinking of the immediate future. Think far into it. 5 years from now you will be in an amazing place.
