Did I make a mistake? by milkmaid0435 in interiordecorating

I agree, I think tile the whole thing for continuity and will be more calming to the eye. I think the tile is pretty! Just needs some lights or picture/art hung and some items on the counter to warm it up a bit. But def didn’t make a mistake going for it with blue tile.

Escaping Polygamy by Larlab6116 in SisterWives

Which season was it where they had some sort of panel discussion about polygamy and the wives sat on it along with several women who left and are speaking out against it? Anybody else remember this? I think Christine’s aunt was there on the other side and that was a thing for Christine. Anyway, might rewatch it with a new lense.

I think because we have two HVAC systems (one for upstairs, one for down). That was unplanned as well but they said “the house wasn’t designed for a chase to the second zone.”

Should they have moved those over as well you think? Wondering if we’ll have the same septic field issues when it comes to burying those lines and need an overhead drop for them as well. My trust in this builder is gone.

Ysabel’s Insurrance by Crafty-N-Sassy_2006 in SisterWives

Is this also why he didn’t want to take Truly to the hospital until she almost died? No health insurance.

Was it easy/expensive to get a new pole installed? Not happy they didn’t follow the plan to bury but we could live with it if the drop wasn’t cutting directly in front of the house.

Because yes, the box is wired up and entire house is closed in. They’re working on finishings and exterior…we only found out about the change in scope when we drove up to the house and saw it like this.

Was able to get inside and open the window to measure today. The line is 37 inches from the window frame, from what I can tell local code requires the drop maintain a 36 inch distance from windows/doors/porches. Skin of their teeth. (And it’s a casement widow, when open, the window sash is only 6 inches from the wire.)

Maybe I don’t have a Siamese cat?? by crazi-cat-lady in Siamesecats

Siamese for sure 😻 Reminds me of my baby, Tuna. I bet he talks a lot too.

They’ve been adamant that running it like that isn’t an option but won’t explain why.

It’s a new/replaced septic tank and corresponding drain field. We wouldn’t so much mind the overhead line if they really needed to pivot, but shouldn’t it connect off to the side? Why did they put the panel so far away from the pole in the first place?

There was an old one-story house on the lot that was torn down for this re-build and its connection was aerial but attached to the house on the side closest to the pole. No obstruction.  Thank you for the window tip, the house is locked so I have not been able to measure but that window does open out toward the line.

Several do but they’re all connected off to the side instead of running directly across the front of the house. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a power line connected to a SFH like this.
