Yeah I think they closed. Around me there are 2-3 froyo places that are similar but they are independent shops. The Pinkberry was on a prominent city corner but is long gone.

The good frozen yogurt is brick plus fruit plus lever. The weird softserve is disappointment ( still dessert though).

I was talking about multiple companies, including chains and independent shops, and in two different states! They’re all gone, which is wild.

This is the only kind I’ve ever had and I don’t understand what people are talking about.

There’s still a TCBY near me! I went there a few months ago and they had two vegan options! (I only saw one and was like, I guess I’ll have that one, and the worker said actually the double chocolate fudge is also plant-based and I was all THAT ONE IS FOR ME YES.)

There are plenty of Sweet Frogs around too.

No idea where to get regular soft serve, though. McDonald’s?

The froyo place we had turned into a dispensary. Of course.

There’s an independent frozen yogurt place in college town, and a Sweet Frog plus an independent in the big town/very small city south of us.

We have Orange Leaf here, and Menchies. There used to be a TCBY here not that long ago, but it’s gone now.

I appear to have suddenly developed cracks and even holes in my siding, exposing what appears to be styrofoam underneath. Has anyone dealt with this problem before? I have no knowledge base here.

Hail damage? Or did something else hit it?

The foam is insulation.
Plastic siding gets old and sun damaged and brittle.

You can tape over the holes and paint the whole thing and sell the house before more holes happen, or replace the siding.

Please note that I haven’t looked at your house and am not an expert on siding so it might be something totally different, this is just my guess from the other side of the world.

I mean, I have several children and it hasn’t hailed… Who knows?

What side of the house is that on? I could see if it’s the south side, it’s gotten brittle from being sun-baked, or north side could have been buffeted by winds/shit picked up by winds.

You could see if a siding (or even painting?) company could/would do repairs, but it might be hard to get someone over to do small fixes.

West facing with southern exposure, so probably the sunniest part and also where the kids play, so trauma seems like a real possibility.

Replace the whole house or just that part? It’s not even a whole wall.

If you get fresh siding boards for just the broken ones they won’t match, the old ones will be faded. You can replace just those boards and paint the whole thing or replace the whole side.

I’m saying boards because I don’t know what a piece of siding is called

Ha, I am tired and made little sense. I meant, can I do just that wall if I decide the rest is okay. But it’s not the whole side of the house because there’s a porch.

In New York they call it a slice but most other places call it a piece

(This is US regional pizza humor)

In my opinion that’s fine. Two sides of a building don’t get the same light so don’t look the same anyways. That wall will be a slightly different colour from the others but it probably is already anyways.

The person you hire to do the job will want you to do the whole house. It’s not the worst idea but it’s not what I would do.
