I need to lift oneone sheet of plywood so I can see what’s under it. Then I know who to hire for this job. Hiring someone to do this little thing would make no sense.
But there are screws every few inches. Far more than necessary. And the screw are hidden under caked-on sawdust. And now that I have removed eleventy billion screws I think the plywood is glued down.
This is a garage floor. Nobody needed to be this thorough. For fucksakes.
Now I will go ice my hands for the rest of the day and plot to murder the guy that did this job.
My current house is poorly insulated. I can feel the cold pouring in through the windows and even the exterior walls. The HOA for this place specifically prohibits any of the film that makes windows not as much of a heat sink
Fuck that HOA. Can you caulk around window frames, at least?
Update on gargage floor: too many screws, glued down, and somehow, for some reason, the guy made the plywood all tongue in groove. Intense overkill for making this a stable floor.
Sadly I’m renting and the landlord is adamantly against just about everything. I can’t even hang pictures. Sooo ready to buy, but have to find a place I can stand upright in all the rooms in first. That’s been weirdly hard.
I have a friend-Slack but several users only participate when they’re going through a really hard time and want support. I’m not your therapist, talk to me at other times if you want me to do this kind of work for you
Agreed! I don’t like the concept of the elf but kids want the fun of waking up to some new mischief each morning. So in my house we have a stuffed Brobee and Plex and they get up to antics each night of December. It’s a bit of a pain to remember to do something every night before bed (they mostly just hide in different spots because I’m lazy) but the kids don’t want to let it go so I do it. Or the 12-year-old does it for me. At least those little Yo Gabba Gabba shits don’t go tattle-telling to Santa like that fucking elf! They are cool little shits, not narcs!
I have 100+ drives to categorize in my mileage app because I was doin’ a stress brain and… forgot about it? Like forgot it was a thing I do. For a month. Ok… wow.
My dogs were up vomiting all night.
At first it was just Sprocket. His puke smelled so vile that I started worrying that something was wrong. Google encouraged those fears. So 11 pm - 2 am was cleaning up vomit, panicking about my beloved dog’s possible demise, and wishing I could sleep.
Then Daisy joined the puke party. Sprocket would do his best to make it outside (and fail every time) but daisy wanted comfort while she threw up. The first time was on my blanket, while I was sleeping at 2.30 am. Then she went and hid so she could puke more without being kicked out of the house.
At least it was something they both ate and not an actual medical issue?
So I got an hour or two of sleep and have a mountain of vile laundry.
Today is very very full.
Very full.
Sigh
Also I originally posted this on Frecks’ journal because I didn’t know where I was. So tired.
The optometrist i want to go to is booked out 2 months. Now I have to decide whether I am willing to wait that long.I waited more than 6 months to make the appointment, so no big deal, right?
Still tired. Now airbnb guest is fast asleep when check out was at 10, and the cleaners loud knocking isn’t rousing him. I don’t want to deal with this. I want to nap instead.
The cleaner let herself in then noticed all his stuff around the apartment and the sound of snoring coming from the bedroom. She went back out and knocked loudly on the door for a while, but this isn’t her problem so she didn’t do more.
On the bright side, there is no booking for tonight so far. This isn’t a crisis, just an annoyance. Very likely it will end with him paying for an additional night.
So, the water / ice dispenser at work went out a few weeks back. I came back after Thanksgiving, the it if order sign was gone. So, like a normal person, I got water from it.
I am now pretty sick, so is one of my office mates, and it turns out that maintenance didn’t fix anything. They just had the sign taken off because they didn’t think the issue was worth taking care of.
At least those little Yo Gabba Gabba shits don’t go tattle-telling to Santa like that fucking elf! They are cool little shits, not narcs!
