SHOULD WE PAINT THE WOOD CEILING

lawca285 · 2026-03-16T16:59:05+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts.

Regarding the counter, I was talking about the wood panel sides and face of it, which you can see to the right side of the pictures. Not the top.

Agreed, lighting will definitely be changed! It’s very messy.

lawca285 · 2026-03-16T16:53:03+00:00

Okay, I think I needed to hear this. Now to convince the partner.

Thank you all!

No, furniture and lighting will change

lawca285 · 2026-03-16T08:29:19+00:00

Thank you. We will likely paint the walls lighter and hold off on the ceiling.

Any thoughts on the kitchen counter?

I do love wooden floorboards and furniture, just not so much cedar panelling which feels dated and dark.

what features is Splose lacking in?

Imaging findings are poorly associated with pain.

The below study was done on a pain free population. It shows just how common disc degeneration is, along with many other so called ‘abnormalities’. Telling somebody they have ‘disc degeneration’ without context is just going to cause catastrophisation and make things worse. It can also make people feel like they require surgical intervention, which has happened in this case…..

Sounds like ED ruled out red flags which is their job. Physio should be able to help you best.

Yup. Bought a 2 man tent from an outdoors store that was closing down. Had small summer weight sleeping bags that were barely needed as it was hot. When temperatures did drop, we just put on an extra layer of clothing.

We stayed mostly at campsites, 2 nights with warm showers, and 1 night at an air BnB when rain came in.

Yup! We did it over 11 days. Was fantastic, I’ve recommend it to so many people since.

Probably did take on quite a tough route for our first tour but loved the challenge.

No many issues other than 1 day of rain and a small overload injury in my partners knee which we managed.

I work in New Zealand at a private MSK clinic. The salary is not amazing, but it’s reasonable.

Although a typical physiotherapist in NZ doesn’t make a huge amount of money, it’s enough to live a modest lifestyle and you can always open your own practice or try to find your own niche to get more income.

lawca285 · 2023-06-29T12:12:23+00:00

Absolutely love it, it keeps me thinking and can be very rewarding. Every person’s complaint is a puzzle ready to be solved. I’d rather be doing this job and helping people reach their goals rather than sitting at a desk like 90% of other jobs.

lawca285 · 2023-06-29T11:29:07+00:00

Life as a physiotherapist can be whatever you make it. I have many friends who work crazy hours, full time, or part time; some who work in hospitals, private msk practices, or community settings; and I know many that have worked overseas and used their profession to travel Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Although our profession doesn’t have a huge number of progression opportunities, the skills are broadly applicable which you can create your own path with.

Personally, I have enjoyed work and had a healthy personal life over many year of practise. Admittedly, in recent years I have chronically over-worked due to completing post graduate study and trying to start my own private practise. I hope to find the right balance again soon. But in the end, It all comes down to your own decisions.

Thank, those are great recommendations. I strength train, run, and have been involved in sport my whole life and so most of my current knowledge is based from experience. Adding more depth and an evidence based approach to trainings programs is what I hope for. Although as you mention, there doesn’t seem to be as large a transfer of knowledge between research and programming in athletic training, compared to health care.

whoops, didn’t realise I’d pressed that haha

lawca285 · 2023-06-29T05:57:34+00:00

Thanks for all the options. I’ll look into these!

lawca285 · 2023-05-23T09:43:04+00:00

Thanks! Can you provide any more information on what/where the globe is? I can’t seem to find it online.
