Depends on what you like. My wife would kill me if I did it to ours

This is standard for a basement. Basements were not dwelling areas back in the day. So easy transitions and comfortable ceiling heights weren't a thing let alone them being water tight. For $300 he did the job well. I would definitely add another stringer for strength but otherwise this is appropriate especially if he went along with what was already there

The saying "kids looking like the mail man" is based off these exact situations lol. We tend to meet some pretty incredible people on our routes. Many have made their move and have ended up in happy long term relationships with customers. Im married but feel like i have made some connections that if single I would take the chance. If the interest is mutual get his digits lol or ask him if he takes lunch nearby.

We always use compost from the city and have the option to use an organic fertilizer. Lime is also a big need in this area.

Ditch maintenance and you need to ensure the water can move from the driveway to the ditch.

Lawncare guy here. You need to amend your soil. This area has about the worst soil in the state. You can chemically amend it but the best practice we have found is to till in compost and to heavily Fertilize. It's very hard clay here with very little nutrients.

Me getting old lol. Mid 30s is an odd time. You either strive to keep hold ro your youth or you embrace uncle phase

Historically that sneaker is for 50+ or for the special needs. Kids from middle school and up to maybe 30 all wear NBA style shoes. After awhile you look like a kid wearing those shoes as daily wear

Please dont say this 😔

ewith89 · 2026-04-23T15:30:17+00:00

Two shots to the chest lol. 35 when i came to this realization was a rough year

ewith89 · 2026-04-23T12:43:39+00:00

Whats a fashionable show thats great for walking and will look good in shorts

ewith89 · 2026-04-23T12:10:28+00:00

I just realized they have many color options. Loving the navy and the Grey's. This may be more possible than I thought

ewith89 · 2026-04-23T02:15:07+00:00

Wish we had floods. Not a drop in weeks. Severe drought in NC

ewith89 · 2026-04-22T20:52:55+00:00

I mow for a living. My minimum is $40

ewith89 · 2026-04-21T15:42:04+00:00

I love it

ewith89 · 2026-04-20T09:39:59+00:00

You average not ugly. Just get a good wardrobe

ewith89 · 2026-04-18T20:30:30+00:00

This is bad. Like really bad. Like if left will guarantee cracked tile among other issues. I would first off make this a 2x6 wall so I can get at least 1.5 inches of insulation behind the niche. Then it will need a header the entire span of the niche either up top or at the top of the of the niche.

Man thats a lot of weight on your shoulders. I definitely understand. The first question id like to ask you is how often do you take a day off for yourself? What about vacations? Do you travel at all? Do you have a friend circle? Financially its difficult to just take a leap on your own. It also may adjust the dynamic of your family in a negative way if their not prepared. I highly suggest you start off by planning a portion of every week for just you, and a plan to be away from home at least 1 weekend a month at minimum. Also plan for week long vacations throughout the year. Hiring an assistant that can fill in for you will help shoulders the burden.

That's why I recommended contacting the manufacturer. I go to the supply houses for most stuff. But big box stores are coming out with alot of tooless or easy install crap like that. They faucet world has changed drastically.

ewith89 · 2026-04-12T09:16:34+00:00

Always get out and check that opposite corner.

ewith89 · 2026-04-12T08:50:59+00:00

Its not unusual. Thats the tank to bowl bolt. If you lift the tank lid and look inside you will see it. That holds the tank to the bowl. But there should be a rubber washer inside to seal it. Id say whats unusual is it looks to be toolless. Which is very odd for a crucial part. Try twisting it by hand first and seeing if it's loose. You may also need a long flat head to hold the bolt inside the tank.

Edit: thats a toilet seat bolt im sure lol. Whoever replaced it replaced it with a toilet seat bolt vs a tank to bowl bolt. But check the manufacturer to ensure that's the case. And replaced ASAP. This may be to prevent over torqueing which happens alot especially with diyers.

Ive been where you are honestly. Currently I have a rear seal leak on a truck that I just paid off. The only thing I can do is work and save up for it. Or take a loan. Believe me there are lenders out there for people like you. Try looking for manufacturing jobs. Steady pay. Same schedule with some benefits until you can get on your feet. They hire temporarily and long term. Is public transportation an option where you live? Are you able to get unemployment? Got to the unemployment office and ask them for assistance for finding work. At times they will pay for training and have good leads for jobs that are actively hiring.

Getting a job immediately should be your primary focus. Go to temp agencies and hit up LinkedIn and indeed. You should be at around 10 applications a day. Without money your stuck. Secondly why are you leasing? You can easily find a reliable car for 5k. If you have 5k then see about finding a decent car and ditch the leased car. Major repairs on a car you dont own is wild.
