Problem when walking

21 years ago

I noticed recently when I walk, my left pinky toe keeps rubbing against the toe next to it. I also noticed that my left ankle seems to be turning inward when I walk. I don't have a problem with my right foot. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right. Anyone else come across this problem?

I've have foot problem from time to time and have to see a specialist. Your arch may have dropped or it could be the wearing of tight shoes. See a foot doctor. I hope this helped.

Definitely go see a podiatrist. I used to think they were for people who couldn't cut their toenails! :) They are highly skilled specialists in the care of the bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of the ankle and feet. I wish I had known that when I broke my foot. I went to an orthopedic surgeon for that, but they don't specialize in the feet as much as they do from the neck down to the knees. My foot would have received much better treatment from the podiatrist.

clouds of tiny flies in lawn

Are you sure you've identified these creatures correctly? Other than crane flies, which resemble mosquitos on steroids, flies generally are not a problem on PNW lawns. Could these possibly be small moths that you see flying around? Lawn moths, the adults of the sod webworm, are very common now and are small, whitish gray insects. That late day flying pattern is an egg laying process and the larval webworms can indeed cause die out and brown patches in late summer, specially in full sun locations. Here is a link that might be useful: sod webworms

How in the world did you choose a floorplan?
Q
Comments (23)
I spent months looking at floorplans online and also bought a few magazines (often times saw the same ones in both places). I could never find one that was EXACTLY right but after awhile I started printing out the floor plans and cutting various rooms from them and roughly putting them together on a large sheet of paper. For instance, I knew I wanted a certain layout of a master bedroom and when I found it -- or something close -- I'd cut the bedroom from the plan and try to piece it in my own plan. Eventually I had everything pretty much the way I wanted it and then took it to an architect who put it all together. However, right at that time, a newly-built home came up for sale and we ended up buying it and our building plans were no longer needed. (We do have the property for sale where we were originally going to build and we are including the plan to the buyer if they're interested...) I didn't have a computer program to put everything into for a 3D view, but my teenaged daughter had a SIMS game and she would put the layout into her game and we actually got a pretty good view of the house that way! LOL! Now we are building a "carriage house" across the street from our new house. It's a garage with a small house. (We have to build a home because it's zoned for residential and we couldn't build just a garage.) That was so much easier to find a floor plan and we ended up purchasing one online with no changes that worked perfectly for us. Was originally about a 700 sq ft living area but our GC modified the plan with the engineer and added another bedroom where attic space was supposed to be.
