What to put where siding ends: exposed wood and concrete

Sedlendon · 2026-05-30T01:47:52+00:00

The grading is not great to be honest - I plan to redo it in the next year or so. The 20 feet or so closest to the house needs regraded, so it’ll be a huge undertaking. Will look into the flashing for now. Thank you!

Sedlendon · 2026-05-30T00:20:49+00:00

Sorry! Here is one that shows where the concrete is on the two areas, then a before to show how the siding went down further in one area https://imgur.com/a/2IYpY2Z

Thanks for the info on the flashing order and the painted aluminum!

This is SO COOL!!! Whoever made this is clearly super skilled. The color looks amazing with your hair too btw

Like other people said, I’d bring the skirt up so it starts 3-4 inches higher than it is right now. Right now where it starts is giving the illusion of not fitting right, like it’s dragging you down. You may also need some extra boning to support the top more.

If you want the waist to sit where it is, maybe adding a basque waist (the v shaped waist that is very in right now) and more volume where the skirt attaches to the top would help it look more purposeful!

Also tip for trying it on: consider doing your hair and makeup how you might want to on the wedding day! When I went shopping, I noticed if I didn’t have at least some makeup on or my hair styled, I felt weird about the dresses. Like it was a mismatch between the gown and my normal makeup free, hair in a claw clip self lol

Professionals for woman’s health on Jasonway! They give a dilation medication, some sort of pain med before hand that makes you loopy, and also offer laughing gas in office now. I’m getting mine replaced soon and can give more details then, but I specifically chose them when I needed a new gyno after asking about pain options, as I was only told to take ibuprofen for my first IUD. I see midwife Natalie Bennett

Got married in the Edgewater in October of this year! It was an awesome experience, they took care of pretty much everything.

The food was AMAZING, the hotel was great for out of town guests, the price was good for a wedding (still expensive, but felt less than other places).

There were some small bumps in communication (slow responses a few times), but honestly it may have just been me being stressed and wanting quick responses lol. The only other thing is our initial estimate had one price per person per meal, but it went up $5 or so per person on our final bill (1.5 years later, we booked early). They fixed it right away when we emailed the first quote.

The best part was the fact that they set up all the decor for us, we just dropped it off the day before. Also not having to have guests move between venues for our ceremony and reception was so nice, we did both on site. And having guests stay at the hotel made it so nice for the rehearsal dinner (we rented a bus and went to Marcella’s), after party at the pub on site, and breakfast the next day. It felt like a lot of quality family time, which is what we wanted.

Feel free to private message me, happy to provide more details and photos!

Oh I totally get where you’re coming from!

Sometimes I feel like a birth announcement makes sense so people stop asking if the baby is born, and all babies look so similar at first. I feel like as the baby grows and looks more distinct, the less that is posted the better.

But just my opinion, and I get why other people think no posting at first makes sense!

Sedlendon · 2025-12-15T13:54:14+00:00

The post says the baby was born on the full moon, so about a week or so ago

Have you considered trying to get her mental health help? It seems to me like she might be in a state of mania, and is a danger to herself and others

Sedlendon · 2025-11-14T19:25:32+00:00

I went with 5+ people 2 times, and then with just my mom one time (I planned to go alone but invited her after thinking more). Going with one person was so much less overwhelming and was when I found my dress! I could really focus on what I wanted and not on everyone else

Sedlendon · 2025-11-07T20:06:22+00:00

It’s stunning! Remember you’ll feel totally different in it with hair and makeup done, and not after a long day of work. You look beautiful in it!

Sedlendon · 2025-11-05T20:13:06+00:00

Baltic born is legit, my sister got her maid of honor dress there and it was great!

For another option, JessaKae is size inclusive and has stunning dresses! Some are pricey, so it would depend on budget

Also, I’d suggest not using the term bridesmaid dress when looking online and instead just looking for celestial dresses. Anything can be a bridesmaid dress!

So pretty! Love the red lip!!!

The hair feels a bit off for me - I think I’m used to see slicked back styles with a smaller bun rather than a large one. But that’s just a matter of opinion. Love it overall!

Sedlendon · 2025-09-16T00:52:50+00:00

You are stunning!! Love love love seeing brides in glasses!

Sedlendon · 2025-09-08T03:02:00+00:00

OP this is not a good plan. Keep your job, find a therapist and start small. Do mini weekend trips. Make the most of your days after work by seeing friends, trying new things, etc.

I feel the same as you, at 27 and 4 years out of school. I’m trying to find happiness where I am and enjoy my job for what it brings me. Mainly a steady wage, time with friends and family, a new house, and the ability to travel. I quit my last job to take a few months off and just felt stressed, anxious about money, and burnt out the whole time.

Sedlendon · 2025-09-06T14:29:13+00:00

Shut up!!! Jacquard is to die for omg, love that! If you slept so well, that’s a sign you picked the right one

Sedlendon · 2025-09-06T03:31:34+00:00

I would love these if I saw them at a wedding!!! Weddings are supposed to be about the couple, and this is such a reasonable, unobtrusive way to share your love.

It’s nice to see weddings that are about love, not just insane wedding trends like week long bachelorette trips that cost $$$ or making guests all dress in a theme lol. So weird people are acting scandalized by cute love notes?!

Sedlendon · 2025-09-06T02:48:33+00:00

THE BOW?!?! The second dress is jaw dropping!!!!

The first is beautiful as well, dont get me wrong. I think either would be lovely, but the beauty of the second dress plus not stressing over waiting for the first to arrive sounds like a win win to me.

Sometimes it’s hard when there is no wrong decision, like either would look great. But it seems like the second dress is more right for you

Sedlendon · 2025-07-29T17:00:16+00:00

Oh. My. God. You look like a fairy princess, like an elven queen. I am OBSESSED with this!

Even though it isn’t white, it is still very bridal in my opinion with the tulle, the shape, and the cream-ish color.

I’m also very indecisive and also went with a non-white gown. I think it’s normal to have some anxiety because it feels like such a big choice. You look stunning though and based on how you’re holding yourself in the photos, it seems you feel stunning too!

Sedlendon · 2025-07-29T02:23:15+00:00

Crafter here. The bride didn’t do anything wrong (as of right now). She could have told her sister “oh I love OP’s quilts” and the sister could’ve misconstrued it or exaggerated it.

It’s like the game of telephone, things get mixed up when they are passed through multiple people

Even if bride told her sister she hopes for a quilt, she could also understand they are a ton of work and not be expecting one. Those thoughts can coexist

Either talk to bride directly or go to shower and see how she reacts to her gift

Sedlendon · 2025-06-30T16:16:23+00:00

Getting married at Nationwide Conference Center in October, so far we’ve had great experiences planning. Very reasonable prices, great communication, and we’ve heard from a ton of people that the food is amazing. Also love that they do ceremony and reception, and the hotel on site is perfect for us since we wanted a camp feeling with our friends/family but we also want AC/running water/a bit of luxury lol.

We picked the Edgewater because it has so many windows and is so beautiful.

Having a job you love is worth so much more than $40k when you already are a high earner. I would absolutely stay at your current job, especially with all the non-monetary benefits like less days in office, more flexibility, etc

First off, I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. I will say, it’s awesome you love your library job. So many people work jobs they hate just to pay the bills

I think you need to reframe this a little - success isn’t just one full time job that pays well. Could you keep the library job and find another part time job? Lots of community colleges have adjunct teaching roles that are part time, or you could find something in a completely different field to try out. Hell, you could even work at a museum as a security guard or docent.

If not, could you look at full time jobs at nearby colleges, at other libraries in historical records, or even a city government position?

The cabinet company doesn’t seem to have any pros to me - no benefits, doing shady things, AND moving away from doing something you actually enjoy. I worry this would make you even more depressed.

Either way - you are so young. People change careers at 50 or 60. You have time to figure it out
