The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Hope you feel better soon @KDOGG331. Harsh chemicals (even the ones in liquid soap) can make your hands and knuckles crack and bleed in winter. That used to happen to me until I switched to a very mild bar soap.

Our real estate agent rang last Thursday to see if we'd got the council certificate we need. DH went out to the council to pick it up and just about died when they said how much we had to pay - nearly a GRAND! Paying out for that has made things extremely tight, but banks won't lend without one so if we want to sell we need it. He texted the agent to let him know and we are still waiting for a response. :mad:

DH knows a different agent through his work (he's a customer that DH has helped out before). He'd said to let him know if we needed some help so DH contacted him and he organised for an agent out this way (she lives in the next street over) to meet with us. She's absolutely lovely, thinks our place is worth what we want for it, unlike our current agent who seemed disappointed we didn't accept a much lower offer. She's coming round tomorrow night to give us her proposal. Hopefully she's going to get things moving in the right direction for us. :fl
Good luck Jae:fl
I knew it was cold this morning but now that I checked the thermometer and saw it's -4* I feel even colder. Darned thermometer! I'm going to have to quit looking at it!
We had freezing mist or something this morning and I had an ortho appt. Cats go in for shots at 1:30 and that’s 30 miles from here but roads should be fine by then.
 
Maybe Katie isn't real fond of sudden loud noises @Blooie!

Our ceilings in the "original house" part are 6-10" to 7' downstairs. I knock on DD2's floor (living room ceiling) when it is time for her to come down for the feed bag. Upstairs is a catchall. About 7' at the flat ceiling under the attic. Something between 4' 4" and 2' 10" at the outside walls depending on which side of the house it is. There is knee-wall storage on the higher, west side.

"Rebuilt house" part downstairs has "flattened on one side tree" beam joists that are about 6' 10" off the floor which makes the "ceiling" (upper floor subfloor) about 7' 4". Upstairs ceiling is on the rafters so the ceiling goes from about 4' at the exposed top plates (8x10 hand hewn beams) and 10' at the ridgepole peak.
 
Really weird, random question, but what kind of spinach is typically used for the kind you see in stores? Bloomsdale? Or another kind? I assume probably some specialty kind or something but it’s just I really like that kind, big huge leaves usually. Although of course they probably also load it with fertilizer and pesticides but still. I tried to grow spinach last year but it all died. The regular lettuce grew well though.
 
9' is a nice height, our's is 8'. Ceiling fans are really handy for moving the air around, nice you can have one in the kitchen too...that should keep the cooking heat to a manageable level (not that that would be a problem this time of year :D ).
X2 on the ceiling fans, I have them in every room but the bathrooms.
