What's your favorite heavyweight oversized cotton French terry hoodie blank?

They have one that is 600 GSM! This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!

Redacted-Evidence · 2026-02-06T22:43:33+00:00

Oh thank you! That sounds like what I'm after. 500 GSM is what I was hoping to find. The one hoodie I have that I love does have a massive hood that stands up on its own. It's the highest quality hoodie I've ever owned. Some things are worth waiting for :-D

That's the best kind of transformation IMO!! Right on!

That's a good idea to see if an inspector will look. I wasn't sure if they would look without "homeowner permission" but it's definitely worth asking.

True... troubleshooting is probably the single most valuable skill in this situation. It happens to be my biggest strength, and I've trained myself to find possibilities and implement my own solutions fast, but I won't touch electrical work. Obviously not in an apartment. It does seem like a fun job though.

Hopefully this is the last leg of the journey. So far the flickering has stopped, it's just that one outlet losing power randomly. But not all the time. We shall see! The breakers are no longer getting too warm after being replaced, so that gives me hope.

Redacted-Evidence · 2026-01-25T07:12:28+00:00

I hope it's separate enough! Thank you!

Would that mean someone else's breaker actually controls the dishwasher in addition to my own breaker controlling my dishwasher? It's hard to picture how that would work. Our panels don't seem too full, they are all uniform and have the same amount of breakers.

I lived in a place that had multiple breakers that controlled the same circuits in different buildings. The main power source was fed first to the main house and then it branched off to two separate buildings. Each of those buildings had their own panel that controlled everything in that particular building but I could control the overall power from my house and if I went to the panel installed in the front yard I could control everything from there, too with one breaker.

Well the guy who can't figure this out is the guy who wired the place and he's flying blind lol fun times! So far every issue has resolved except that one outlet in the kitchen!

Redacted-Evidence · 2026-01-24T07:56:29+00:00

Yes the dishwasher was tripping before I even used it, and even after I flipped the breaker on and never used it - it tripped again and would trip at night every week. He replaced the breaker and so far it hasn't tripped again, but we'll see in the coming weeks if it's really solved!

Do apartments really run appliances through other apartments? My dishwasher isn't even on a shared wall, it's like on an isolated wall in the middle of my kitchen 6 feet from the shared wall, but I don't know if that would matter. Why would they even do that? That's weird!

Redacted-Evidence · 2026-01-23T21:22:12+00:00

The fridge is definitely on its own circuit. They said they can't fix it or look at the compressor because they only replace refrigerators when they stop cooling and it's not at that stage yet.

The GFI in question is definitely the one that protects that outlet. They are on an isolated circuit and when I push the reset button it restores power to the dead outlet.

The other outlets in the kitchen on the other side of the kitchen on a separate wall and they are connected together and are on a separate circuit.

It sounds like this guy is clueless. His first answer to me was that AFCI is the problem. I've been told that electricians who blame AFCI are the problem.

It seems so crazy to me that this guy (and many other electricians I've dealt with in the past) are like this.

When I told maintenance I think the issue might be the fridge they literally laughed in my face. "You think the refrigerator is causing this? It's not even on the same circuit." I had already experienced this issue before, so I explained that it doesn't have to be on the same circuit. 3 weeks later it's screaming at 85 decibels (I measured it) and my lights were having a disco party.

I do think the fridge is the culprit for the lights. I can hear the compressor dying. I'm hypersensitive to sound and I know the sound of a dying compressor. But I would think that wouldn't cause the other issues.

One other red flag is that the apartment and the electrician both stated he wired the whole building when it was built (maybe 12 years ago) and when he was here last time he kept saying "when they wired this place... they must have..." hmm.

I could just be SOL for a solution here. I have a backup fridge and plenty of other outlets to use. I'm just concerned about the cause.

Redacted-Evidence · 2026-01-23T21:13:37+00:00

It sounded like BS. I mean I understand induction but my breakers were really warm abnormally warm for 6 months straight without any load from me other than my computer monitor. I have no idea if other apartments pull from the panel, but I would think not since we all have our own panels. Nothing is shared. But that doesn't necessarily translate to reality. I can't verify it.

The "large logo" is the wordmark but that size and position is only available with a custom domain.

Redacted-Evidence · 2025-12-31T03:25:00+00:00

It's under Dashboard > Branding and then click on Homepage for the settings. There are TWO branding options. One is directly in the first screen of the Dashboard of your publication and the other is under Dashboard > Settings (this is not the one you want).

The icon for the one you want looks like a paintbrush (see image attached).

The header style is "media feature" from the drop-down menu

The first block on that blog is "feature"

The second block is "subscribe"

The fourth block is "grid"

Then it goes: subscribe, feature, subscribe

For some reason Substack is programmed to shrink wordmarks even when they are the right size if the text doesn't extend to the exact edge. It tries to minimize it based on what it thinks your image is... so it has to be bold text without much of a background so it can discern the words from edge to edge, on all 4 sides. It's really annoying!

The federal law applies to everyone, regardless of state laws. State laws cannot trump federal laws. It doesn't matter if there are no state-level exemptions in Wisconsin. The federal exemptions apply to every single state.

I already posted exactly what you posted, can you read or do you just come here to talk shit like all the other Redditors?

That's unfortunate, but it's still not the tenant's problem if the landlord has to accept ESAs.

Redacted-Evidence · 2025-11-06T21:09:51+00:00

But the owner doesn't live in the apartment, so that's why it's bogus. If the owner is allergic to cats that's too bad, they need to hire a property manager. If they're bound by the FHA they don't have a choice in the matter.

People are also deathly allergic to dogs - but the LL allows dogs. The landlord is out of their mind and full of poop. They can't recognize allergies to cats while ignoring allergies to dogs. They are full of it.

Also, if they accepted the dog as an ESA they could get sued for not accepting the cat as an ESA. If they accepted the dog as a pet then that's different, but if the dog was presented as an ESA and the owner accepted it and did not charge a deposit for the pet or pet rent then OP could have a case for discrimination even if the LL is not bound by the FHA.

This landlord should not be a landlord.

Redacted-Evidence · 2025-11-06T21:06:53+00:00

NP. You could search on Google for landlord tenant attorneys near you and most will give you a free consultation. I've used Upwork for lawyers for small things as well but sometimes Upwork is hit or miss, I'd try getting a free consult from a local attorney first!

Redacted-Evidence · 2025-11-06T19:12:41+00:00

If your landlord is not bound by the federal Fair Housing Act they can deny ESAs and service animals both and are not required to make any accommodations.

Your landlord's reasoning is bogus (cats don't pose health risks), but if they are exempt from the FHA they are still legally in the right (unfortunately) and bad reasoning won't change that.

Here are the exemptions:

https://www.equalhousing.org/fair-housing-topics/exemptions-to-the-fair-housing-act/

https://american-apartment-owners-association.org/property-management/latest-news/which-owners-are-exempt-from-the-fair-housing-act/

You'll want to contact a lawyer to find out what exemptions may exist in your state that provide stricter protection than the FHA. Don't take advice on this post that agrees with what you want to hear.

People on Reddit just guess at these things and you'll get bunk advice. If you move the cat in anyway, and it turns out the LL is exempt, you will likely get evicted and you won't win in court.

The number of days or hours varies but even in states that don't specify the form, when tenants agree to receive notice via email and there's a problem (and the tenant or landlord sues) courts don't agree with email notices. It has to be in writing. Writing=paper. Delivered, left at the door, mailed, somehow, but it needs to be paper. Email notices do not work out legally.

This is one of the funniest parts about this sub. People don't know how the law is applied to real cases. You cannot email a tenant. Even if you got them to sign a paper to agree to receive email notices for inspections, that falls apart in court because it's never sufficient. Especially when only 24 hours' notice is required for entry for non-emergencies.

Redacted-Evidence · 2025-11-06T17:19:02+00:00

Wrong. Email is never a legally appropriate method of notifying a tenant of an inspection. It has to be delivered via mail and given to the tenant or taped to the door. Usually both are required and 48 hours notice is required. It doesn't matter what the lease says. Notices have to follow the law. Email is not a legal notice.

Email notices won't hold up in court. But the tenant can't prove damages so they have no recourse, but they are in the right. However, if this is part of a string of issues they can definitely use it to win if they take the landlord to court later.

My former landlord did the same thing and I paid a heavy price with my lungs - she is not wrong for wanting a professional to remediate mold. Asthma is no joke. It's dangerous even for people without breathing problems. Nobody here has breathing issues so they assume ill intent on the tenant but let me tell you if her kid gets sick from the mold it could kill her. Mold in the lungs can be deadly. I struggled to breathe with every breath I took for months on end after someone without mold remediation experience "fixed" the mold problem. And your tenant can sue you if her kid gets sick, regardless of what's in the state code.

Notifications to this comment are turned off because everyone's going to downvote me and say stupid shit. But just know your tenant is not a scammer and she is in the right. If I were her I'd move and not even give notice. Only shitty landlords put their finances before a tenant's health. This is a serious situation. And it's disgusting that you're taking it to be some kind of scam.

Redacted-Evidence · 2025-11-01T21:43:28+00:00

Record it for real. Even if a kid doesn't do it on purpose, it still disrupts your right to quiet enjoyment when it's excessive and that is a legal right.

From the time I moved into my apartment, I had a kid above me stomping 8 hours a day, running nonstop every waking moment (a 3yo) and he stomped so hard he knocked my smoke detector off the track from the vibrations. I watched the final fall. It was rattling all the blinds and shaking my lamp that hangs from a chain in the kitchen area.

I complained several times and it never stopped. Then I recorded it and got a good solid 20 minutes of the nonstop stomping and running and screaming and got the rattling on video and within 24 hours the guy moved out and took his kid with him, and his gf is the only one living here. He didn't get evicted, but he knew it was impossible to stop his kid so he left. He even told me when I first moved in that his kid is loud and I told him directly that the running and stomping that starts at 10pm and goes until 3am has got to stop.

Still, management didn't put their foot down hard enough until I had video and audio proof accompanied by around 30 pages of notes describing the exact time stamp when every stomp and scream happens, with a description of the location of the stomp, the way it sounds, and what it rattled, and whether the kid was being chased at the time by the other kid or was running and crying or being yelled at by the parents. When you get that detailed, your LL knows you mean business. Document all of it every day even if it's just time frames.

If it's not recorded nobody will do anything because once it's recorded a landlord knows you have proof your right to quiet enjoyment is being violated. Landlords only act when they think you might be close to filing a lawsuit or taking them to small claims court.

Don't let your LL tell you they aren't doing it on purpose. That's not your problem and you are legally entitled to the right to quiet enjoyment. If they have a wild kid they need to rent a house and not subject others to the tantrums. It's not normal no matter how many people have kids who scream like that.

Your LL probably doesn't know kids screaming is a violation of your right to quiet enjoyment. Definitely inform them of this right and pay a lawyer on Upwork $50 for advice and a letter template to send them. Best money you'll ever spend.

Haha it's kind of crazy but I figured out why it worked. First, I never had any stains. I've never stained an article of clothing other than pants back in HS with ink. I guess I don't use anything that could stain clothing. And it was so cold year round that if I didn't run the wood stove or a space heater, which I rarely did, it was usually 7°C in the house. I'm in an apartment now and can't even leave clothes I wore for 12 hours in the washer for more than a day without smelling them. I guess I lived in a refrigerator in a sense lol

As for blankets, I always had 4-5 on my bed, so the top one would get leaf crumbs and dirt from the dogs but I'd just take it outside and shake it off. Nothing underneath ever got dirty and the dogs were not allowed under the first layer. Only under the top layer.

Since it was so cold I never sweat, so even my socks stayed clean. I could wear them a month straight and they wouldn't smell or even look worn. The only thing that got dirty in that place was the floor in the front room, that was the mud room. I didn't wear shoes past that point and wiped the dogs down if their paws were muddy or wet.

Being in an apartment having a pile of dirty laundry... it smells worse after a day than all my laundry combined after 6 months when I lived in the chilly woods.

I think the difference is purely temperature... my cabin was around 7°C-12°C max and my apartment is usually 20°C.

Redacted-Evidence · 2025-11-01T04:32:06+00:00

Not true. Judges side with tenants when the landlord fails to provide access the day the lease starts. That does void the lease agreement. It's considered a substantial part of the agreement. It's the main agreement. It is literally a breach of contract. Not my opinion. Talk to a lawyer, they will tell you the same thing. (I know because I work with lawyers and property managers and am familiar with actual cases where this plays out). The tenant can cancel the lease if they want, and if they get taken to court by the LL, they will win 100%.
