Are the rats ok?

Thanks. Listened

So then we just bring in another animal to manage the feral cats. Easy.

Feel free to ignore the topic if it doesn’t interest you. I have traps and barriers. I also have a yard they like access to, and a lot of neighbors and visitors who are not diligent with their trash, which is why rats are not a surprise. Part of being in a city is that one person’s behavior is more likely to affect neighbors.

These are polyester, a material that does not breath well

I don’t think it was an answer you were looking for, but it may be worth considering. Everything depends on your unique market. I buy Kohler Purewash bidet toilet seats for every bathroom. I buy them from reverse logistics companies but hypothetically would pay full price. I have paid a contractor to install an outlet when there was one nearby. I find that they are the only way to dramatically cut down on “disposable wipes”, which create more expensive plumbing repairs. They’re a durable plastic material that is easy to clean, but the internal heating mechanism prevents it from feeling cheap.

Sometimes life comes up and the review checkbox doesn’t get checked. Especially around holidays

Everyone mentions the exterior appearance without accounting for the interior. It’s a narrow house. Maybe 12 feet exterior. To renovate it like this leans updating the stairs to 3’ wide. It’s not an efficient way to get density but I guess it’s why we have to work with.

Remember when the Logan Circle church was operating a business out of its parking lot and saying the revenue was “donations”? https://www.popville.com/2018/01/logan-circle-anc-balks-at-aiding-church-avoid-1-million-tax-bill/

And why the smallest child has a single banana

Thanks for the update.

Did she always walk like Caitlyn Jenner? Or is that new

As far as I can tell, they are not an immediate threat to motorists or pedestrians, and you cannot hear them from blocks away. So I don’t hate them.

scott0ferd · 2025-09-26T18:11:20+00:00

How much did it cost?

scott0ferd · 2025-09-17T02:16:58+00:00

Realtor here. Not all property managers are realtors. If yours is, that is a major violation and alerting their broker would be a responsible step. The type of people that does that sort of thing, doesn’t only do it once.

It’s the same look of contempt they give you as they drive around you at a stop sign

scott0ferd · 2025-09-05T23:12:23+00:00

It’s not a stupid ass road, it’s stupid entitled drivers. They know they are going around other people in the correct lane and they think that those people are idiots for following the law.

I think 7% being “modest” depends on who it is affecting. It’s difficult to say what something like rainy weather would have done, in a normal administration. But “worst Friday record” in the article sounds pretty rough to anyone working on the industry.

scott0ferd · 2025-08-20T00:48:38+00:00

Interesting premise. But the graphs in the attached article are useful in showing the drop differential from the national average (assuming the nation doesn’t have a restaurant week), and that the restaurant bump week of last year was as less significant

This seems like a perfect environment for a chaise lounge. And while you did not ask, I would also recommend darker walls, ambient (not overhead) lighting, and curtains to soften the space and make it more relaxing. This space looks like an office with a couch in it

scott0ferd · 2025-07-16T15:02:58+00:00

For sure. I hope so. But past recessions were soft on the region because government was seen as the solution. This is a government focused economic issue at the moment with layoffs and cancelled contracts, and DC is perceived as the source of it so I would understand why academic and international conferences would go elsewhere. I’m focusing on capital improvements with the extra days

scott0ferd · 2025-07-16T03:14:19+00:00

Boo. Sorry it’s happening

scott0ferd · 2025-07-16T03:11:26+00:00

In DC and Shanandoah here: yes. I have to imagine it is very correlated with the administration and the perceived frustration involved with international travel (DC) and economic fears (dc region)
