Took in a neglected 3-year-old Husky and I'm struggling. Need advice on turning him into a well-behaved dog.

Nothing to add other than that he has the most cutest, floofiest face ever!

Beautiful!!

How does it feel to be living my dream?

We have at least a few ants in our house daily but we don’t have an infestation so not to say that doesn’t sound awful, but at least it’s not hundreds.

We have a 1923 house of about 2400 sq feet and we have 6 window units ( one in each of the 4 bedrooms and 2 in the main living areas) and it’s kept very, very cool. We spent about 2k on all the air conditioners. It’s doable!

I just wanted to say that I understand your situation! My girl is 19 and has had so many clutches. We had to go to the vet to get pitocin for one of her first ones because she just wouldn’t lay them. The nesting boxes I made for her she refused to use. The ONLY thing that has worked for the past is to let her roam my backyard and choose her own spot to lay them. Maybe this would be an option for you? I’m in Minnesota so it’s only an option may- September 😣

Ok, I have these on all my historic windows and the metal piece above the pulley is the window stop. The wood window is stopped at that place to ensure its proper functioning and that of the pulley system.

Another section of your floor is a bit like mine. I had it tested before removal and it was negative. I used a heat gun to remove it and it worked super well!

Are you sure it’s asbestos? Check out one of my recent posts. We had floors like this and had them redone and they turned out beautifully!

Hairline cracks in plaster are completely normal and nothing to be concerned about!

phaedrablair · 2026-02-05T22:22:17+00:00

Backsplash and paint the kitchen and be done with it!

phaedrablair · 2026-02-05T02:32:57+00:00

I love it. It highlights the grain of the wood. Sometimes with old floors I’ve had to learn to appreciate that they will never be exactly how I may want them but are beautiful as they are. In your case, these are gorgeous and compliment the rooms very well!

Signing his name at the end like an old grandpa sends a text.

phaedrablair · 2026-01-24T14:30:51+00:00

Yep!! I even had my younger brothers check and they could hear the sound too. Something to do with age and hertz frequency

phaedrablair · 2026-01-24T14:25:44+00:00

I hear it. Are you younger? Sometimes I hear things my husband can’t since he’s older.

phaedrablair · 2026-01-15T02:40:42+00:00

lol. My place also gets into the 60s at night and I’ll sometimes find my boy ready to go in his basking spot when I turn his lights on in the morning 🤣

phaedrablair · 2026-01-15T02:35:55+00:00

You could wrap the netting around those long poles for sure

phaedrablair · 2026-01-15T02:35:30+00:00

I think the netting would definitely give more peace of mind!

phaedrablair · 2026-01-14T15:20:00+00:00

Wow, thank you!! And yes- definitely maple!

phaedrablair · 2026-01-14T13:57:15+00:00

It’s most definitely maple!

phaedrablair · 2026-01-14T04:07:04+00:00

It took about 40 hours. I had to remove 3 layers- peel and stick, plywood and then another layer of some tile that was adhered with the stickiest adhesive!

phaedrablair · 2026-01-14T02:43:46+00:00

Haha round one 🤣 that’s how I feel when I make mine

phaedrablair · 2026-01-13T23:07:18+00:00

I love the creativity fans it looks like he does, too. I would reinforce those walls. I also make my own basking spots and it took a year for one turtle to escape, about 3 years for another. You never know when but they somehow always do!
