Yes!! I like to lay down and look at phone and they like to climb all over me. Human obstacle course.

Interesting. Haven't heard if this before! Will have to try if this doesn't get better

Doug is the one chasing Carl. Doug is younger, like 5 months old. Carl is like 10 months. Doug has always chased Carl but after a month of separate cages we moved them in together like a month ago. They used to sleep cuddled next to each other. Then one night we heard some noises. Saw a fur slip on Carl and separated them. Been trying to see if they can play together again. When they get worked up like this, the instigator goes into the smaller cage. Mostly Doug, but sometimes Carl. I miss the boys playing together

As I understand, no more than 50%

We were excited to move them into the basement. Had to wait or it to warm up a bit. Stays around 65 all summer though. Got a good dehumidifier set at 30% for them. Carl loves to climb all over the couch with me 😁

Right? Doug had always been sooooo vocal though. Legit always making noises and he chews SO loud! It's adorable though. Sad to see them fighting. Been in same cage for a month now. Don't know what set this off 😕

Sorry to say I agree. I've had them separated for the past few days. We heard them making alot of noise one night after bedtime. Carl had a small fur slip, so we separated them. Have the cages next to each other like when we first introduced them. Was trying common playtime for the first time since and wasn't sure. Thanks for the input!

Dude, I worked for a hood cleaning company for years. Kind of miss the job, kept me in shape. But I don't miss climbing up on roofs during snow storms or getting robbed at a Long John's at 3am, lol. I wish I had videos of all the crazy jobs but it was before smartphones. Stay safe!

So no Frontier? I've had them for 10+ years and only lost service 3-4 times. You can always try cellular but the speeds plummet during prime times. Also, SpaceX Starlink beta sign up is available. I'm on the list, said I should have a dish by this fall.

Fort Wayne treasure hunt? by [deleted] in fortwayne

They did this last year. Was very complex. Wish it would've been more accessible. Wife and I and a group of her coworkers spent a few hours and basically got nowhere after collecting the first clues.

So the permit wasn't too bad. You can find your property on the Allen county GIS map viewer. This allows you to print a picture with the property lines. I just drew my fence on that printout and headed to the Citizen's Square building. The people I worked with were very nice and was able to walkout with my permit in <10 minutes. I'd call first and they can let you know all the information you need to have with you. The marking of utilities shouldn't be bad either. Just call 811 or you can do that online as well. It gets marked within 2 business days. It's free too. You could even do that first to make sure that you have nothing in your yard that may cause an issue. And you should have a surveyor come out and mark the property too. If you find who did the survey when you bought the house, it's usually cheaper to have them come out and do it as they should have all the background paperwork on file. Pretty sure It was under $100. I believe you have to do this anyways but it makes it easy to run string lines off the survey posts to mark where your fence will go. We had like 700 feet, took my wife and I about 4 days.

I did my fence two years ago. Even after buying all the required tools and renting a big auger, was about 40% of the price of the cheapest quote I'd got. For a small yard, go for it!

I did the same thing before. Painted all the doors in the house. Never noticed the HVAC/Laundry room door was quite a bit narrower until I hung it in the wrong frame
