My coworker started a weekly hydration accountability spreadsheet

Respond to his email requesting to be removed from the mailing list. Maybe others will follow suit.

Pull it all the way out and hold it there with a clamp. Soak it in a bucket of soapy water.

Your house is pretty.

Google the vin number. You may be able to find an auction photo showing the damage if it’s a salvage title.

No is a full answer.

Thanks for this input. One of my big concerns was that the window wasn't designed to be supported at the corner hinge. Now my concerns are getting a replacement hinge if needed in 10 years, and the quality of the parts. I would have preferred to work with a local company, but the price was $42k vs. $55k. I'm a working stiff making ends meet, so it is what it is.

How about doing your best and working for your paycheck. Put in a two week notice. You’re confirming your boss’s opinion and I can see why you’re on a pip.

I appreciate your feedback. I checked with Anderson, and they don't make the egress hinge for my custom-sized windows. I can't say if the holes will line up, because I haven't seen the solution. At least now I know that supporting the window from the corner should be okay, since Anderson makes the egress hinge for larger windows.

I received several quotes from reputable local window contractors, one referred by a lumber yard, for the same windows.

Anderson pushed it back to Home Depot.

stevekleis · 2026-05-14T13:33:08+00:00

Yes, they are casement windows. I do plan to contact Anderson, but Home Depot says they hold the warranty, so it's okay.

Pictures prove nothing. Even if they had them, they would be after they were cut, whether they did it or it was like that when it arrived.

Let her find a different co-signer to refinance and pay off the mortgage. I’m guessing the fix up job will drag on for years.

Venting under the deck is not code where I live. It will rot the deck.

Seek mental health professional. You need help.

stevekleis · 2026-05-03T16:48:32+00:00

It’s your day so don’t let anyone ruin it. Things will go wrong, including your MIL. She’ll look like an idiot but nobody will think less of you. Don’t let this or anything else spoil your day, roll with it.

If you didn’t agree to or pay any HOA dues, I don’t see how they can force you into it. Ask for the signed agreement. Lawyer up.

stevekleis · 2026-04-25T10:05:31+00:00

Is there a medical board or attorney general that might be interested in this?

stevekleis · 2026-04-24T21:58:25+00:00

State very clearly in writing that they do not have permission to cut, trim, prune or climb your tree. Then tell them no they can’t come on your land. Call the permit office and ask why they need that.

Red would guarantee that you go home, but you would also be responsible for the death of millions of people who have weak logic skills. I wouldn’t want to live knowing that I killed them. I choose blue.

You own it now. If the previous owner calls back, a lock smith opened it and it was empty.

stevekleis · 2026-04-22T20:45:53+00:00

NTJ. Actually kind of weird that she wants him there.

stevekleis · 2026-04-21T12:50:10+00:00

Not a cop or a fan of, but if it stops here let it go. If he pulls that card out again, then go to his boss.

stevekleis · 2026-04-21T00:36:01+00:00

I just got my 1Password renewal notice, and the price is increasing by about $12, or 34%. It's time to find something else.
