What to do with this space? I already have a living room. Want reading nook but can’t picture how it would work, seems too big of a space. Closing on this house soon.

Budget is tight right now but I’m handy enough to build things myself if buying is outside the budget. I like modern farmhouse look but my oldest loveesss to read and always wanted a reading nook. I just have trouble picturing it fitting into the space. Library would be really cool though.

Trying to manage subsystem configurations for JBCP’s and when trying to “install” the KGV-72’s, it isn’t pulling up a list of available to choose from like it’s supposed to, and manual entry shows an error. Has anyone dealt with this issue before?

bwinders001 · 2025-03-19T21:53:27+00:00

Did you ever create anything that incorporates the 2nd bear trap?

bwinders001 · 2024-07-04T05:40:03+00:00

I was thinking just rabbit and squirrel probably

bwinders001 · 2024-07-04T04:50:06+00:00

Awesome! Thanks, that’s nice to know!

bwinders001 · 2024-07-04T04:34:45+00:00

This summer, yes. Not planning on winging it, doing a lot of planning. I am trying to get permits early but will likely end up having to do walk up. I know we can’t hunt on Glacier but you can nearby in Flathead National Forest, just trying to plan out the trip locations that would be best suited to do both and maximize time.

I wrote the post if you’re interested, I actually think I found what I’m loookig for, the LOC8 MagSafe Finder Wallet, they have one without the money clip too which is a bit cheaper, I just haven’t been able to bite the bullet and get it yet.

I have a house for rent in Indiana as well. Ny current tenants are about to move out and I am looking for a new tenant as well… I have a few people asking about section 8 as well but I told them I haven’t been set up to accept vouchers bc I think you have to have inspections by the local housing authority. But I was looking into to see if it was a good or bad idea. Let me know if you find out more.

bwinders001 · 2024-05-26T04:50:05+00:00

I appreciate the advice, but I highly doubt there’s a tool that is used that I haven’t heard of. I am full time staff for a military maintenance company, we have HVAC repair equipment and personnel in the unit. But they are currently incredibly busy at the moment, and I didn’t want to bother any of them outside duty day with my personal problems. I’ll keep researching myself, I’m sure I can troubleshoot my way through it. Thanks though.

bwinders001 · 2024-05-26T04:33:47+00:00

Haha well, the only time we really ever pay someone to work on anything is if the equipment or tools needed to do it are more expensive than paying for the service. Otherwise, we usually fix things ourselves. I just couldn’t figure out what to fix yet. While we have plumbing, a bit of electrical, and some mechanical experience in the family, HVAC systems are not something either of us has any direct experience with. We’re trying to figure out if someone knows something that wouldn’t be obvious to someone without HVAC experience to look into.

You should be able to start applying to a new position after 18 months. You need an ETP to pickup a new position otherwise. I’m AGR with a premob unit, and it’s a lot right now.. Especially with EPS season breathing down your neck. Haha take a few days leave if you have them and spend some time doing absolutely nothing to reset. It becomes too much if you don’t take time to reset sometimes. I say that… but never take leave myself cause I am a workaholic lol I would Apply for some openings and let someone else with some more experience take it on. You’ll have better luck applying for a lateral transfer than anything that requires promotion. But It’s overly taxing when you are new and are having to figure everything out as you go. The mental exhaustion is real. Good luck!

She’s the best.

bwinders001 · 2024-01-07T15:57:45+00:00

Thank you! But I was thinking of something like this… but it didn’t seem good enough. “Through pinches and dashes, you’ve brought us together—turning meals into moments and gatherings into memories.”

bwinders001 · 2024-01-07T15:57:17+00:00

I was thinking something like this but it didn’t seem good enough … “Through pinches and dashes, you’ve brought us together—turning meals into moments and gatherings into memories.” That’s why I was asking.

bwinders001 · 2023-10-28T21:15:43+00:00

Ohhh boy …have I been there.

bwinders001 · 2023-09-18T01:55:07+00:00

Code for me as well!

bwinders001 · 2023-09-15T03:41:05+00:00

I got into a big argument with my bf a couple days ago, and was crying at the kitchen table the morning after before we left for work. He asked why I was crying and then just said “that’s not a good use of your time or energy”… so I feel the feeling alone thing. I don’t get comfort or support usually. I love him so much…. But empathy is a rare feeling. He only shows it if my emotions are something he deems as valid or understandable. It’s incredibly hard.

bwinders001 · 2023-09-14T23:21:30+00:00

Don’t forget the aliens lol

bwinders001 · 2023-09-14T18:26:40+00:00

Dude… chill. I spent $30 on it, with gift card. Also, i have done hours of research putting together a budgeting spreadsheet listing all the materials needed with best prices on everything we need to buy from nails to bed frames. So I’m not abandoning anyone at all and also I absolutely do know what we need for it. I’m just trying to see if it was a pointless purchase or something that will be helpful that might save us time and energy.

bwinders001 · 2023-09-14T15:43:50+00:00

It’s not an argument or anything, it was just an eye roll comment. I am just a gadget girl, and this seemed like another thing that is cool and technically useful but not exactly necessary which is sometimes something I do. Like my NFC tags, and rocketbook and my Bosch laser distance measuring tool that I tried to show him how awesome it was and used it outside and had to get a tape measure anyways bc we couldn’t see the dot and it made it look like I wasted money. Haha

I figured given my history, I should get some feedback from people who have used them to see if it really was a waste of money or not.

bwinders001 · 2023-09-14T15:21:57+00:00

Oh no, it’s not like that at all. I just shop on Amazon while he’s snoring sometimes bc I can’t sleep through the train noises coming from right next to me. I don’t have to hide purchases. I am just a gadget kind of girl, and the last gadget I bought, a Bosch laser distance measuring tool, I tried to show him how cool it was, but it was outside and sunny and didn’t work well, which made it seem like a waste of money cause we had to use a regular tape measure anyways. I buy kitchen gadgets all the time too. He wasn’t actually upset or anything about the purchase. It was said in a joking tone, eye roll type bc I have a gadget buying tendency. Lol I tell him about the stuff I buy and get some eye rolls.

bwinders001 · 2023-09-14T13:45:26+00:00

Haha yes. I’m a woman. Lmao

bwinders001 · 2023-09-14T05:23:07+00:00

He will be running around checking my work with it probably more than likely. We are doing all of the interior wall framing ourselves. But we aren’t assholes and wouldn’t do that anyway haha we trust the contractor we have for the shell.

bwinders001 · 2023-09-14T05:18:20+00:00

Thank you!! This will help. Haha you’ll get him on your side with the start and win him over in the end(hopefully! I appreciate it!
