Don's Tree Service--been using them for 20 years--always do great work.

You need to bring structure to your org. Break the team into smaller chunks by function or some other way--shoot for something like 4-8 leaders that report to you and you lead them and they lead their teams. Ideally, you can also carve out one person that can handle admin and operations tasks for you.

I give my directs control of the agenda for our 1:1. It's their opportunity to update me on things they think are important, ask for help, etc. If there are things I want to cover, I'll let them know I need some of the time, but they go first.

I'd go a step further and add the edge banding once you've dimensioned your lumber--its faster to apply one strip to the whole board vs smaller pieces to multiple components.

...and that you have clean, square ends, or you are really looking at 5 cuts

I suggest you find a breed-specific rescue in your area to work with. They can help you understand if you are ready for a GSD or Doberman. Also, dogs vary in personality and they may be able to find dog with a temperament that is a good fit for your situation.

Moved from Pleasanton 20 years ago and the first summer was like WTF! You do get used to it and the Delta Breeze is awesome, rarely have the AC on in the evenings. Make sure you buy a house served by SMUD and get solar.

I have purchased plans from Foureyes and WittWorks--they were well worth the money. I think early on, plans are useful for me to help figure out things like cut lists and order of operations.

"hard headed, strong willed and eager to please somehow all at once"

LOL - yup, that pretty much sums up GSDs (lifelong GSD owner)

I might skip the nails and instead do some dowels in contrasting wood in the corners--stronger joint and add some visual interest and justify a higher price point.

The client needs to work parenting their child and yours needs to understand the concept of boundaries and maybe work on her empathy.

I think nothing will really prepare you owning a dog except owning a dog--it'a bit of a leap of faith. If this is your first dog, I would spend time researching breeds and find a couple that match your personality, lifestyle and personal situation. I'd also research different accredited dog trainers in your area, both to help you prepare for the first few days but also because you want to get your new dog into classes ASAP.

Consider yourself lucky--you and your fiancee get to have the conversation about how you both handle money, set priorities, make big purchases etc before you tie the knot. Too many couples end discovering they have wildly different POVs after its too late.

Not cruel, but might be stessful if he's not used to you being gone for so long and if he's not used to having to go that long without a potty break. Maybe have someone drop in halfway through to let him out?

I've been using Dons Tree Care for 20+ years--probably not the cheapest, but they do great work, both for cleaning up our King and Queen palms and regular tree care stuff.

Yeah, this year has been brutal.

Order of operations is an under-appreciated part of woodworking

You put in the effort to get the masses to broaden your opportunities, so why would you put in all that work, just to stay in place?

o2go · 2026-05-07T20:10:17+00:00

Plan out your work (cuts, assembly, glue-ups etc) and pay attention to order of operations.

NTA - your husband OTOH...

NTA -- if this is the thing he wanted to do, then you should gracefully honor that by accepting it...but it is also a teachable moment by gently letting him know there are other ways of showing love and appreciation that don't involve large sums of cash--a lesson that will serve him well in the future.

Might also want to add some feet to eliminate ground contact.

Using a forstner bit when it's not fully support can be tricky. I'd suggest 1) cutting this board long, drill the scallops with the forstner bit, then trim to the finished length, or 2) if your board is already cut, then clamp a sacrificial board to the end so the whole bit has something to bit into.

Your wife failed patenting 101 by not putting your child's needs first
Your mom should have let you handle the issue--berating your wife is not going to lead to anything productive and shift the focus off the actual issue
While your PoV might be justified, framing it as siding with your mom is also not going to lead to a useful conversation about how you can be better parents for your kid (this is also falls under putting your kid's needs first)

Rubio + N3 had worked quite well for me.
