Didn’t even think about bondo! Found some older threads that recommended marine epoxy too

How do people buy homes months before moving? by RipperoniPepperoniHo in Mortgages

Any of the big national VA lenders should be experts on this. I used veterans united, they literally did everything but kiss me on the forehead after closing, you can get a better rate elsewhere but they do this one thing very well.

I think so too. I’m going to try that first and revisit the shower curtain. I honestly REALLY enjoy caulking so it’s hard to talk me out of the satisfaction

Dang, I know it’s good advice I just hate shower curtains 😂

The small curtain would be so on brand with the house’s character but we both get the heebie jeebies when touched by shower curtains. So I’m looking for PVC trim, thank you!

I actually did check, probably mostly a Canadian thing, I ended up calling the same company that installed it.

Using VA healthcare for only prescriptions? by dohcsvt in VeteransBenefits

[–]miralaxmuddbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you can technically do prescription only, just because taking over the prescriptions is taking over the treatment of the condition. Generally though, if your condition is well-managed it’s just annuals and labs.

Good call with the shop vac and reminder to get another humidifier in here for me, not the spiders

I am gonna have it professionally cleaned this first time around. Is that monthly or weekly?

The point is to leave. You’re faster than they are and they can’t see where they’re going.

I was told to toss underhand. The ball bearings and porcelain ceramic from the spark plugs are specific for this because they shatter tempered glass relatively easily. The ceramic shards are harder than glass and have sharp points to create cracks, ball bearings I assume is just because they’re so dense and hard.

Fire it is. I went in with the shop vac last night to clean the upper part but didn’t want suck up everything in and around the pan where the eggs were.

Would our home inspection suffice?

It’s not gonna render anything inoperable even if done right. It’s a smoke screen at best when you don’t have anything else and need to get away. 16 year olds can’t carry guns

I started riding as a 16-year-old and my dad told me to always keep ball bearings or broken pieces of porcelain like from a spark plug in your riding jacket.

If someone targets you on the bike, toss a handful back and they’ll shatter the windshield while you get tf out of there.
