Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[Alaskan]

Well Went to Walmart .Don't know what I bougbt but it was not cheap.Should be able to feed Ben a while.Been 30 days he hasn't gone to the center. Wearing hard on my critters .So yesterday while I was feeding .He after eating half a roast chicken and pasta shells .And I left the refrigerator unlocked ,got the other half of the chicken out .Microwaved it ate most of it .Then took out a pound of frozen sausage plus a half a box of patties.Those he put on top of the refrigerator. I found them when I was putting lefto ers from dinnwr away. The patties should be alright the pound I don't know. I PRAY FOR BOREDOM.Driving to Town all I could think about was how close the tornado came to my DD.When she was a toddler one sucked the siding off the front of our house. I wasn't here DW said the walls shook.DW and my son have been scared of storms ever since.

Wow! Is that a huge amount of food.

Does Ben's stomach hurt after eating so much?

Sounds fantastic!

And yes... floors that are not flat, are a problem.

The floor we put in, you CAN feel through the floor the uneven bits.

Our main part of the old house...where we put in the new floor.... had part professional concrete slab... that had a couple of cracks. That part though, you could ignore the cracks, the professional concrete is nice and smooth... you can't feel the few cracks through the new floor...

But


Then we have a part that is home made and home poured concrete.

That home done stuff was an inch lower than the professional done part, and had a very bumpy funky rough end.

Soooooo

We looked at for a while, placed some planks down over the funky parts and walked over them... felt it..
And decided that some funky areas, that you can feel every time you walk over them, did NOT bother me in the least. And definitely wasn't worth the couple of thousand extra it would have cost to fix it.

And now in hindsight...

I am still happy, dont care.

I still feel it, but since I can't SEE it, it doesn't bother me. I think if the floor visibly showed the funky bits I would find that irritating.

Very good input... I am considering putting in a different floor where the floor levels are off. then using a strip between of thin threshold material. We will see.

If the difference is just at a threshold, then yes, that works great.

70 degrees sounds a might jigh to me corse mom kept it everywhere .I mean everywhere ,under beds in closets .Her pantry was full.We were alwasy telling her Mom! Its just you living here you know.

Seventy degrees was the max. I can do lower but I would have to have a CoolBot controller. With the RValue of the exterior walls at about 40 ish all I will have to do is bring up the new partition to a 25.

Those CoolBot controllers get hardwired into the window AC and They make the cooler sip electrictity along with keeping it from freezing over. Happens quite often in the summer time. We have to turn the window AC off while it defrosts. The Cool Bot handles that as well. But they are pricy more expensive than An AC that is rated for 200 Square feet.

As far as the sub floor is concerned I want one inch thick plywood and replace it all. That is what was put in the bathroom Wall to wall. That floor is Rock solid. If they insist on using half inch over the top of the half inch that is already there I will want it Glued down to make it one solid plywood floor. We will talk on Thursday and he will give me a view of the parts he is concerned about.

I will most definitely be on top of it. I have twenty or more years to really enjoy this house. I only want to do this job ONCE.

But... did you succeed??

Nope only crippled it trying to 'mow' a large rock.

Well did you get one ?You know they have automated now.

Pretty cool purchase. Went to Lowes on the internet, found the aisle and bin # for the mower and replacement blade - went directly to them, loaded them up, paid, and away we went. Turns out I could have ordered on line and picked them up. Went to Wendy's for take out - 1:30 PM and there was a 30 vehicle line. Amazingly it only took 23 minutes to navigate the line.
