That sounds like a solid project, Teppy, and pretty rewarding too!
We'll be in our bunk.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We have a hammock on a frame that fits the two of us easily. And when there were 3 of us at somewhere in the 550 range it was fine. I think any double hammock should do. And yay for backyard transformation!

Found out today that what we thought was a clogged trap in the laundry room is actually a cracked sewer line below the garage, which has filled up with plants growing in it. We have been advised not to do laundry until they can dig out the pipe and replace it, which will take more or less two weeks. I don't know how to explain to the plumbing company that this is *really* not a great time of the month for me to not do laundry for two weeks. (Not that I have a choice, BUT OH MY FUCKING GOD 2020.)

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh, not fun at all. Do you have drop off laundry service nearby?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, Jess! Most unfortunate.

Probably? I've never had to look!

Oh yikes Jess! What a pain.
Question for y'all: I have carpet in my house. I do not want carpet. What is the best/easiest way to change that? I think about the options and they all seem incredibly onerous since I am currently living, with my furniture, in the house. Do people move out? Rent a storage unit? Does anyone have recs or dis-recommendations for flooring? I have no idea what I want other than "some kind of wood situation that is not carpet"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
When we had wood flooring put in our first house ages ago, they moved everything in the kitchen to one side of the room to do half, and then once it cured or whatever, they moved everything again and did the other half.

Meara, probably a prefinished wood floor.

Dana, that's what I've heard from a few people, but it seems like it wouldn't work as well in a bedroom--I've got more furniture and less space to move it around in, it seems? I have thought it might be easier if I wait until my roommate moves out and then stuff could be moved from room to room at least.
