I never could understand mounting one over a hot stove.

The tree service "owner" was curt in first conversation by phone indicating trees were "old" and "dying." Of course the tree folks destroyed the evidence of that and took it away. Tree guy had told DIL that morning that trees were sick and dying; tree guy had done them a favor by cutting them!
After contacting arborist who had been there a few weeks ago to come out again and a different arborist specialist who places value and testifies to such, son called back to see what tree service would offer: they would replant 2 trees, of unstated height and age (originals were 12-13 feet and look healthy in contemporaneous pictures), grind out old stumps, and pay $200. Son informed him that a third party would do any stump grinding and planting--not the tree guy whose specialty is removing trees.
Son figures trees were worth 6-800$ US and with the treble damages for careless destruction of trees per Ohio Revised Code he's looking for several thousand in damages. The tree guy accused son of harassing him and hung up on him (3rd phone call, no harassment). I told son the guy will change the name of the company, declare bankruptcy, and be operating with a new name on the truck in a few weeks. I'm always the pessimist. There are some details about the company I can't post.
Owner doesn't know son was a standout in Mock Trial in high school. He entered The Ohio State (Go Bucks) with possible idea of law school and being a science and math oriented attorney. Son is enjoying this, I believe, because the tree guy is in for a surprise since the law first seems to have someone who specializes in this type of suit.

Now, as I am in an area with much lower housing costs, I am in a small "premium" building, and dealing directly with the owner, which is cool. I couldn't afford this place in Bellevue or Seattle, even with a decent salary. The quality of construction and finishes here is on another level, and it is quiet, no smells as it isn't as tight - only noise is occasional from a couple kids in the building (I find it odd families would live here, as you can get a detached house with a yard etc for the same money, or larger apartments for less), and even then it usually isn't really annoying. Knock on wood, if the job continues to be enjoyable and stable, in a year or so I might be looking to buy. I could deal with a condo finished similar to this place as well. Of course, prices are rising here, but still well under half of anywhere even remotely desirable in Seattle metro.

When I did the kitchen a few years ago I asked Mrs. venture is she wanted me to knock down a wall to open things up. She said she really didn't want her kitchen to be in her living room.
If a house is small, removing a wall or two can make it appear bigger. It still doesn't take away the fact that you will be boiling your asparagus in your living room.
People watch HGTV and think they have to have some of that. My son's house he used to have in MD was open plan, stainless steel, some open shelving, and, of course, a barn door. He bought it that way.

We like it.
We have white kitchen cabinets and quartz countertops. Why? Because that's what she wanted. Well...I sort of insisted on quartz because it just sits there and doesn't ask for any attention.
We have white appliances in the kitchen because it looks better then stainless. My opinion.
A friend just had a McMansion built. It has almost everything in it that you would see on HGTV on Saturday.

Also cool such a place opens their facility to the public, so it actually isn't just for the rich and very rich alike.
My grandmother's original owner 60s house has mostly original finishes, including the kitchen - kind of blond/birch cabinets, mottled pastel green formica countertops, originally had bronze colored appliances. She passed away not long ago, and the house is still in the family, but I suspect it will be sold soon after the new year. I know the next owner will gut it all.
My place, a recent build, has granite in the kitchen and bathrooms - a somewhat sparkly granite which doesn't look bad I think. Light colored bamboo cabinets, a small open space in the upper cabinetry, wide and deep rectangular sink, backlit heated mirrors in the bathrooms, no medicine cabinets (irked me at first), large tiled shower probably half the size of the entire bathroom in an older house, light grey paint with dark grey trim, polished concrete floors - hip now anyway.

I wish I had known, I could have borrowed your truck to go to Home Depot while you were at the game.
Hopefully your son will get to keep playing, The rules are tightening up.
I probably wouldn’t have noticed what he was doing if it hadn’t been for Q’s recent scare.

I was watching one of those renovation flipper shows with my wife this morning. The husband was obnoxious and I commented that she should divorce him.
My wife responded that they weren’t a couple any more and the show had been in repeats for years.

The trouble with building a HGTV inspired house is that some of those shows are a decade old. You could be building a non-trendy home that your friends will snicker at behind your back.

Who cares if your friends snicker behind your back, you're the one who has to live in the home, build the home you want. I have the same philosophy when it comes to cars, homes, wedding dresses and booze, forget what anyone else says get what you like.
When you get a chance, post a pic of yourself in your wedding dress.😎

You’d have to ask my wife. I’m still trying to figure out what happened to Christy Lee on All Girls Garage.

In my family boys are vastly outnumbered by girls, all my siblings are girls, all my aunts and uncles had only one boy but multiple girls, my wife is one of 6 girls and all of them had multiple daughters but one son each. So I have witnessed multiple brides get pressured into or out of wedding dresses.

I'm with you on preferring Heather on Garage Squad. She provided a lot spark and personality.
Kind of like when AJ was replaced on Overhaulin' (had to ask my wife what the show is called).
AJ came back, maybe Heather can, too/

My older son (14) had a positive Covid case in the middle of October. The team shut down for 2 weeks. 1st game back, my son got hit and got a concussion. That was 2 weeks ago. Dr says he needs to be out at least another 3 weeks, so the shutdown works in his favor.

That goalie needs to be tested for HGO!
Actually, it's good he can play.
One of my nephew's wanted to play football, but when he was young he had a hard time finding a place to play; too big for the age group or too young for where his weight was ok.
Concussions are not good, wishing the best for your son.
