“Two eggs - wreck em.”

"Two sunrises-wall slammers"

I think this is true. I have honed my judgement skills.

In fact I’ve gotten so “good” that I can just judge people by their cat and their driving.

I’d like to think I’m right, but my fam members would know for sure!!

Some days, I just don't want to people. Having nothing to say and not responding to human stimuli makes this happen. It's kind of like pretending to be deaf.

 

[Wonderer67]

Cool. We learned a lot from this!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Anyone else??

Mine is a 1930 Packard. That one is a 1921 Oldsmobile.

TIL...



It was like a mini masterclass and an homage all at once

“Kiss my grits!”

Try using near boiling water over the coffee grounds in the French press. You get the aroma and less bitterness. Make sure to grind the bean to coarse as fewer fines are in the coffee.

You kind sir are right on with the coarse grind!

 

[Wonderer67]

This is great!

Some days, I just don't want to people. Having nothing to say and not responding to human stimuli makes this happen. It's kind of like pretending to be deaf.

Back in the days when I commuted by public transit, there were nights after work where I felt this way. I would put on my headphones, bob my head a little, and just watch the People Show. The headphones weren't connected to anything, but I was the only one who ever knew.

Trying to tell you I don't know cars without telling you I don't know cars.

So...to all my handy men and women

Under my kitchen sink on the west side of the house where the cold wind pummel my house it is cold.... would it be okay to put some thing on the back wall of the kitchen cabinet...

What would I use?

Or do I just not worry about it?

I'm assuming this sink is in a cabinet? Can you put a thermometer in there to define "cold"?

In general, unless you've had freezing problems it's probably not worth worrying about. All walls let heat through, and the cooler cabinet just means the cabinet isn't getting heat from the house. By letting it be cooler, you're not paying to heat it. If it doesn't freeze, then it's not a problem to worry about.

If it does freeze, or get close to it then let us know. We can brainstorm what to do...

Night everyone!

I am just scared the house is 73 degrees..... when I moved into this house I thought everything was okay but it wasn't. let's see.....no insulation on the rim joists. standing water in the crawl space. my sump pump was a plastic bucket with nothing in it. my siding pops and their solution was to use nails to secure it. I can actually see the joints and some of my walls freaking separating and then going back together with the season. I got crumbling drywall in my bathroom where I don't think that they put the correct tape on it or get it right the root. I had storm damage and we went up there to check on it to make sure everything was okay he realized that there was nothing between the shingles in the plywood no underlayment no ice damn nothing so I had to replace the roof. The front and back porches are rotting off my screen door slammed open and the top rail of the back porch exploded into a million pieces like toothpicks. Oh and they're also put together with nails and not screws so all the nails are popping. the last owner used painters plastic as weed control so all the water was going right in the basement.. the mulch was was rotting and there was mold. Some of my doors don't close.. no foundation issues but settling. it just goes on and f****** on. And yes 8 got a home inspection. Some of this he couldn't help, but some he could. But it is what it is

Some days it just gets me down... being trapped in here with short days and cold weather doesn't help

Wow! Lots of stuff going on there. When was the place built?

In regards to your original question, freezing pipes would be the immediate concern. Do the pipes go down through the floor, or into the wall?

Can you check the temp with a thermometer? Or do you have an IR camera to look around the wall with (might be worth asking around if anyone you know has one. Great way to find heat leaks/poor insulation. )

I can completely understand that!

Certainly not fun to feel stuck in a place that doesn't make you happy.

For now I am here and I have to figure it out. My parents are elderly and need me to help them. I am feeling the pressure.

Sleep sweet, Missk
It's challenging when roles change and we need to care for parents instead of the reverse. Add all those homeowner concerns and it's no wonder you're having trouble sleeping.
I hope you find something to help distract and relax so you can sleep.

How the is it 10:30pm already?? Where has the night gone? Time for me to wrap up and snuggle into bed.
Stay warm everyone... it's 12F above here but winds make it feel 12F below.
Goodnight and sweet dreams...

Just trying to keep the sick isolated from the healthy...

Good night everyone...
Got on late because I got home late from visiting.
