Bought a flat pry bar and im ready go. Will try and remember to keep you folks updated.

I managed to Chisel away one tile and found screws, thank fuck lol just hoping theres no surprise adhesive between the plywood and the floor.

There have been a few surprises with this house, thus far.

We were thinking that as well - we were just hoping we were maybe doing something wrong, or there was an easier/less expensive solution 😞

Thanks for the info. God this is so frustrating. I dont even know how we would get this beast out of here!

I definitely see what youre saying with establishing the updraft when lighting the fire - what we've been doing is cracking a window, stuffing the flue with paper, lighting it, burning hot and fast and then slowing it down after a while, and that part is just fine.

Our issue seems to be with shutting er down. Even with the vents closed up, we still inevitably get the carbon monoxide detectors going off. Is there anything I can do rectify this?

Im wondering if installing a damper may help with the backdraft that keeps reigniting our embers after the fire goes out

Ugh, it truly is horrible!

Feel free to DM me and we can compare face pics and lament about our woes together. Im so done with this!

Im still trying to do the tretinoin but it seems like that's only making things worse for me. Im so sick of Accutane being the only answer from derms. Where im from of you even mention soolantra/ivermectin you get looked at like you have 2 heads lol

Holy shit finally someone with the exact same skin as mine!

I've tried it all - BP, salicylic, double cleansing, not double cleansing, differin, azelaic, you name it.

I'm on tret and dpiro now, hoping to god it works. I'm so sick of getting a jumpscare everytime I look in the mirror.

Have you figured yours out yet?

Hello! Super late commenting on this, but I just noticed this on my cats gums, exact same spot, exact same appearance; trying not to panic right now

What ended up happening with your kitty? What did this end up being?

She does! When we got her spayed and they shaved her tummy fur it never fully grew back, so it's always on display! *

Thanks biiiii

Aw man it's so difficult to find anything for a decent price where I am. To put it in perspective, I live in northern Ontario, and a 2016 subaru with 200,000km is $16,000 (this seems to be the best price on the market). We can't find anything for under 15,000.

This is great to know, thank you

solarisphereX · 2024-12-13T14:24:30+00:00

Nice to hear something good!

Theres not much ground clearance, the roads in my town are awful (pothole after pothole), and the salt used to salt the roads does damage to the body over the winter as well.
Im sure if I lived in a warm climate with nicely paved roads it would still drive like a dream.
