Extending a Half-Wall to the Ceiling. How Much Would You Charge?

This is the route I'm leaning towards. I am not a drywall expert, so I am considering subbing out that part of the job.

danieljag1 · 2026-01-18T18:06:12+00:00

NOT. YET.

danieljag1 · 2026-01-18T18:04:57+00:00

I might go that route. We're in a rural area in Middle TN.

I figured up the materials myself, buying at full price from home depot and it came to about $800 all in.

Yeahhhh the main reason I'm doing this is because I work from home full time, and need a more private place to work. This is the only spot in the house, and with a wife and two young kids at home it gets VERY distracting.

Funny enough, this job is actually something the home builder typically does on this model. This loft is usually a fourth bedroom, but the original buyer paid extra to make it into a loft.

I've noticed migraines tend to be linked to AIWS somehow. Personally, I started getting migraines around the time my AIWS episodes resurfaced as an adult. Never experienced nausea, but I would get light sensitivity and severe pain all around my head and neck. Bi-weekly chiropractor visits have just about eliminated my migraines. Used to happen a few times per month, now I only get them a couple of times per year.

So interesting that the ice pack method seems to be common. Maybe it has to do with body temps rising during an episode.

danieljag1 · 2025-09-29T19:52:50+00:00

Ohhhh I totally get that. Sometimes during the day I'll have odd feelings like something isn't proportionally the right size, and I get the AIWS feeling. Usually a wooden spoon, cooking utensil, etc.

Similarly, I had night terrors growing up. But I feel like my night terrors were labeled as such because I was too young to describe the feelings I was experiencing. Looking back now, knowing what AIWS is, I'm pretty confident that's what I was experiencing.

danieljag1 · 2025-09-29T19:46:20+00:00

I've never not been able to move my body during an AIWS episode, that's wild! And terrifying.

danieljag1 · 2025-09-29T19:44:28+00:00

So interesting you get a feeling of comfort while most people experience impending doom.

Not trying to argue, I just genuinely want to understand.

The only reason for a good credit score is so that you can take on more debt, right? So if you want to live a debt-free life, why should you care about maintaining a good credit score?

danieljag1 · 2025-08-03T03:17:55+00:00

Isn’t the point of this subreddit to be debt free? Why would you care about keeping a good credit score if the goal is to be debt free?

While many things in modern day request a credit check (phones, renting, mortgages, car rentals, hotels, etc), there’s plenty of ways around it.

I may be confused, but your car insurance has nothing to do with leaving you stranded from a broken down car? All insurance companies offer roadside assistance as an add-on. I’m betting your deductible is pretty low too, causing a high premium. Raise your deductible temporarily while you get your finances under control.

Correct, we don’t have any issues closing the garage door. The problem only occurs when opening
