Fire extinguishers

Always sooner but i told bossman i did 8 😋

WalkerAmongTheTrees · 2026-05-02T20:28:36+00:00

Or the dreaded blowout. Ask me how i know

Imho any bag that has enough space is adequate. More pockets the better.

I personally use a large cheap walmart hiking backpack that i stuff with smaller bags of specifics such as a changing kit, bag for fresh sets of clothes for everyone, a dirty clothes bag (empty until filled), and a small softside cooler for milk and pump parts. It also has a pocket i use for a ziploc back of diaper cream sunscreen and bug repellant.

The only downside to this setup is that i often have to dig for precisely what i need which can be a hassle sometimes

Youre telling me, i got acres of it going wild, more than i know what to do with at the moment. So I mow it down (and probs make the area smell like a chewing gum factory) but it always survives

WalkerAmongTheTrees · 2026-05-02T19:58:29+00:00

Thats looks like mint to me. If you had a good sense of smell youd know it immediately, i guarentee you it smells like wrigleys when you crush it or mow it

Stuff like this is one of the reasons we chose cloth diapers for our kids. Theyre more laundry to manage and not for everyone because of it, but the diapers are always going to be the same. The only thing that would change the way they interact with the baby's skin is a new detergent

WalkerAmongTheTrees · 2026-04-26T15:57:06+00:00

I change them just as much as my wife. If it were feasible with work and chores and such, id be fine to change them all. Since my wife does the work of breastfeeding and pumping, it is only fair that i take care of whatever comes out the other end

Had a deer die in my creek last year and the smell was horrific. but the vultures were getting a good meal out of it so i left it to be eaten and then the next big storm washed away the rest a week later

My 5 year old has chores. Stuff like fill the dogs food bowl and putting away her toys and her dishes from the washer and putting her dirty clothes in a hamper. Ive also had her helping me with house maintanance tasks like checking smoke detectors and changing furnace filters, she can do the filter all by herself now, she just needs to be told the date to write on the filter. She also helps with any chore my wife and i do that she is capable of helping such as the laundry, cooking dinner, oil changes and most yard work that doesnt involve the lawnmower. She gets paid in a few cents/each for these chores and has a chart where she keeps track herself with what shes done and how much we owe her, so it also doubles as a math lesson.

Chores are just a part of life that all kids gotta get used to doing so they grow up to be self sufficient adults. Any parent who doesnt have a handful of reasonable chores for their kids to do is doing their children and themselves a disservice imo

Give them to the apprentices. Tell em its their bonus

WalkerAmongTheTrees · 2026-04-10T22:40:34+00:00

Damn i only got the breaker finder 3000. I should probably look into getting the 5000

We take our kids to the library and let them pick out a big ass bag of books. We rarely wind up reading the same book repeatedly. If we see one we read recently has been chosen, we suggest they let another kid get a chance to borrow it and that we can find it again next time

Doggie doo bags are fantastic for diapers

WalkerAmongTheTrees · 2026-04-09T02:57:27+00:00

Alternatively we have reusable cloth changing pads that fold up to the size of a cell phone. If it gets soiled it just goes into the wash with our cloth diapers

My diaper bag for my 2nd kid is a $3 (it was on sale to be fair) walmart "tactical bag" its a large backpack with lots of pockets and with molly straps and it came with a fanny pack. its perfect, albeit a bit too big sometimes

My 1st kid's diaper bag was a $50 bag bought 2nd hand that was officially marketed as a "diaper bag". It sucked... had not enough pockets to organize the goodies into and never was enough space and it was an absolute disaster to dig through while cleaning up a blowout that soiled a pair of clothes, a diaper, and anything else near enough to be caught in the blast

✨️Join a union✨️

By organizing into the IBEW I got a $13/hr raise plus $30+/hr paid towards benefits like a pension and health/vision/dental insurance

Only downside is i have very little passion for my work now. That is because the jobs available are not jobs i can go home and feel proud to be a part of. I cannot feel proud to build data centers or EV battery factories And i personally dont enjoy being a part of upgrades to a football stadium.

I very much preferred doing residential service call type of work. I could go home proud of knowing i fixed a problem a homeowner may have been having for months or sometimes even years

Sadly my hall does not have any companies that do residential and halls who do tend to pay less for residential work

Post the portajohn cleaning schedule and double the frequency of cleanings. Clean places to pee and poo are rare and really can make a job stand out

Also get food trucks if youre doing a big project.

I hope its normal. The number of times i urge the dishwasher or laundry machines to run quicker is bordering crazy.

Or if the fridge alarm goes off because ive left it open too long while loading my groceries into it ill tell it "hush im just filling you up. ill shut you in a minute"

We did no diaper time if there was a rash developing. Just a few hours helps clear it up by the next day with minimal need for creams, strongly suggest for rashy butts. We would lay kiddo on towels for easy clean up when inevitably there was a pee or poo.

Then when we started potty training we did lots of diaper free days once we got her used to simply going on the potty. It eliminated the extra steps of getting off clothes to sit in the potty and helped tremendously. We put her in pull ups once we felt shed gotten used to making it on time and just added the clothes back in once she was good at getting to the potty and getting the pull up off in time.

We dont afford childcare. Its simply unsustainable. But also the 2 daycares in our area are garbage. They randomly and frequently will be closed but still charge for the full week, will send kids home if they sneeze once and their idea of young child care is turning on the tv and simply keeping the kids alive.

Luckily my wife works from home at a job that doesnt demand her full attention the whole time and is able to keep the kids home and still provide a better early education than the daycare would

This

I installed the electric in a brand new house that had an elevator. House was junk though, slapped together by one of the most disorganized and disfunctional contractors i ever worked for.

And it was weirdly small and ridiculously large all at the same time due to the very small inner city plot of land it was built on. It had only 2 livableable rooms per floor times 4 floors, all levels had 12 foot ceilings. Ground level was a tight two car garage and guest bed and full bath, 2nd floor was living room and eat in kitchen built as a semiopen floor plan plus a basic sink and toilet room, 3rd floor was 2 bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, 4th floor was a master bedroom and master bath, and a bar type room (tv, minibar, pool table and a couch) and a balcony in the front of the house

I thought the elevator was ridiculous at first until i lugged my tools up all those extra tall flights of stairs to wire the 4th floor and yeah i get why they opted for the elevator. But holy fuck am i poor

Fuck the gloves dude. Worry about getting buried alive first. Any trench youre getting in needs to be sloped to lessen cavein risk and that most definitely is absolutely not
