And then you two can just figure out a time that works to move it... honestly, trying to sync up three different schedules is a nightmare compared to just coordinating two.

Do I seriously have to be the middleman in this little triangle?😁

P.S. The bed is off the table... it's already there and someone's actually using it.🙂

Angela Newman33 said:Quick update:

- Bathroom is all set for the drywall crews
- Windows have been knocked out and walled up
- Another round of leveling the concrete done
- Ceiling work is officially underway
- Yard is finally clear—chopped down the dead brush and hauled away the dry wood

The game plan for tomorrow (fingers crossed):

- Painting starts
- Kicking off the laminate flooring installation
- Getting that bathroom window back in (assuming the masonry dries out enough)
- Scrubbing down the studs, doors, and windows

Angela Newman33 said:I’ve got an urgent situation here

Sometime tomorrow I need someone to come over and fix one of the doors, widen the opening and install a new one.

Does anyone actually know how to handle this and happen to be free tomorrow?

It absolutely has to be tomorrow, otherwise we're completely stuck on Wednesday.

You wouldn't believe it, but in like an hour and a half or two, that whole damn hill was moved. 🙂

Don't tell me you showed up right after me... what a waste. 🤷 Satori keeps insisting it’s impossible we didn't run into each other, because if I went in and you came out... 🤷... just a few seconds apart, dammit. And honestly, the highlight was riding my bike inside. Now the kid asks me if she can ride it for a bit, I say sure, obviously... then fifteen minutes later, as I'm heading out, she asks if I'll just give her the bike. 😎😁

I finally went ahead and "booked" a tile contractor. Well, I say booked, but it’s more like I’ve entered into a high-stakes hostage negotiation where I’m the one paying the ransom. Honestly, finding someone reliable around here feels like trying to find a decent slice of pizza in a town that only serves frozen cardboard. You spend weeks scrolling through Yelp, reading reviews from people who sound like they were paid by the contractor to write them, and then you finally settle on someone. Now, the anxiety is just setting in. Will he actually show up? Or am I going to be staring at my bare subfloor for three months while he suddenly develops a mysterious interest in woodworking instead? It's exhausting. 😉.

Is there any way I could get a text in the next couple of days about which contractors we need for Saturday morning? I’m heading out to Europe through Friday, and I really don't want to get blindsided by unexpected costs. If I know what we need, maybe more of us can swing back through Indianapolis before I leave so we can knock out as much work as possible by 1 or 2 PM.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. It’s just... it's exhausting. You see these things happening and you think, "Surely, they can't be serious?" But then they are. They always are. I was sitting there, staring at my screen, thinking about how much energy we waste on nonsense, and then this hits me. It’s infuriating! Honestly, I’ve had better days after a three-hour delay at LAX, if you catch my drift. It’s all just chaos. Total, unmitigated chaos. kaže:
Does anyone actually give a damn about these kids? I mean, seriously—is there a single soul working at Child Protective Services or any of those other bureaucratic government agencies who actually gives a flying rip about what happens to these children? It feels like everyone is just shuffling paperwork while things go south.

Look, if we go all in—if we pour our sweat, our sanity, and every single cent of our hard-earned money into fixing this mess—only to watch everything slide right back to exactly how it was six months from now, then what was the point? We’ll have nothing to show for it. Absolutely zero. It's a total waste of breath. 😉

Angela Newman33 said:And since when am I some kind of lady? 🤣

The mods are going to shut this whole thing down for off-topic nonsense if we aren't careful.
Don't drag me into a side-chat. 🙂

Angela Newman33 said:Nooo, absolutely not... I’d rather just spend my whole weekend scrubbing floors in some massive mansion.

At an NFL game? She wouldn't have a clue what she was looking at.t 🤣

Angela Newman33 said:And what am I supposed to do? I can't exactly go scaring off the guys who don't even know how to frame a wall, install a window, or hang some drywall correctly...
As long as there are a few pros in the mix who actually know their stuff, they can guide the rest of us through the chaos.😁

Take today, for example. I was incredibly "productive." I spent the whole afternoon lugging a work light around for the contractors while they were smoothing out the walls... I won't pretend it required any heavy lifting or deep intellectual prowess on my part, let's be real.🤣

I just hope I don't get beat up for that massive insult. Fingers crossed! :trep trep:

Angela Newman33 said:That’s basically the labor force meant for people who don't need to think—just show up to act as a human paperweight or a forklift operator.
If I actually had any muscle on me, I'd definitely fall into that category myself.😁

boldhound152 said:unfortunately, the thread about the Atlanta Falcons fans is locked.. honestly, this whole "complex" thing just keeps bugging me..
I mean, most people seem pretty sane. Why on earth is everyone obsessed with using that word so much?
And when did this even start? Did some politicians cook this up right after the war, or does the origin of this term go back to some legendary era in the 1950s?
Maybe those idiots actually have a point, and we're all suffering from some kind of "Atlanta Falcons fan complex."
Though, I have no clue how that even manifests or how you'd defend yourself against it.. Do you treat it with aggressive methods, or do you wait until it attacks you first? It's hard to say..
I'm no genius..
