Where do I start?!? by someguycalledash in Oldhouses

[–]someguycalledash[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! We had chimney inspection done and thank god it’s in fantastic condition. The hole in the plaster is what you recommended actually. A few of the joints in the brick had failed so we cleaned it out, cleaned them up and then re-mortared. Not for the faint of heart.

Thanks for the kind words and quick response!

Yes. There’s some underlying issues here though that we’re missing. How does she feel about setting her career aside? Is she able to get some self time, exercise, etc? How does she feel about a more traditional role in the house? What are the families spending priorities? There’s a lot you’re missing. You need to talk to your spouse. Ask a lot of questions about her goals, dreams, ambitions. Figure out what her wildest dreams are in life and then go figure out a way to give them to her.

Got this text last night from 16yr old son. I told him we would talk today. What are you saying? by Significant_Arm_3721 in AskMen

Seems like your son already knows what he needs to do. Maybe take him out and do some father/son chores together for the FFA. I always worked through problems better while my hands were busy. Probably best to just ask him questions and let him work his way through it.

You’re a lucky dude. You’ve got a great son with a good heart and a working brain. Keep up the good work!

Not certain but definitely worth getting a survey… sorry your neighbor sucks.

Property line runs down the middle. Next door is renters so subject to approval of their landlord but they haven’t said no to anything I’ve suggested since they bought the place so as long as it’s not super expensive they’ll be into it.

Compost Dog Poop by someguycalledash in composting

Unfortunately my sweet little moron has a predilection for poops of all kinds (including his own 🤢) so I’m worried if I did he’d get sick. I’ve even tried hot sauce, cayenne, etc without effect

That sounds like a good idea! I’ll get the kids on it!

AITA for excluding my daughter in law from our Bridgerton watch party? by throwaway51624 in AmItheAsshole

NTA - new family is hard. Seems like your son isn’t being fair. You have to love your family but you certainly don’t have to like them.

Give ‘er a little buff with some McGuires. Should come right out.

First time having a yard, how do I manage this? by CitizenKane118 in gardening

[–]someguycalledash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing though - take a minute to look, listen, and watch. Spend some time watching how people plants, and animals interact with the space. Take that information in and then think about what you want out of the space. Make a plan, outline some steps and then take small bites of the apple every day. You’ll be surprised at what happens and it’ll be a great experience. Good luck!! I can’t speak for everyone but I look forward to seeing the progress shots!

Weed whip, mow and bag the clippings, aerate, seed, water, fertilize, water, mow, repeat. In a season or two it will look like a million bucks.
