kculbers 3 months ago Pinebaron: how did you find out about those tourmaline rocks?? kculbers: My apologies for not responding sooner, just saw your message. Some online research plus knowledge gleaned from a book of fortune or something, helped a lot since I was previously only aware of stones negatively impacting various things. Now I keep a very large tourmaline rock on my office desk below my monitor and another really large one in our living room; that definitely did the trick for us. Now it's almost exactly three years since we moved to our 'masterpiece' although it only became party capable a year later (we love to entertain), i.e. by Thanksgiving 2019. At the time the pandemic struck, my DW was promoted at her work and my own work tripled due to an insane demand for what I do, helping generate an enormous surplus, an ingredient that helped grease the wheels of life. Buzz Solo in northeast MI @Pinebaron We finally sold our house in September 2020. we lost money on it but it's out of our hair (and I left my old neighbors with a good new neighbor!) And DH and I are still married, still frustrated in different ways (the home building board has seen a lot of my "can't find an HVAC guy" posts, but we're getting there. What worries more I think is what we're going to do with ourselves when it's done and we move in! we're going to have to find another project so we don't sit and stare at each other all day. Buzz Solo: A house, no matter how complete, is always going to need some love and there should always be a project or two in-flight to keep you both interested and engaged. If all is really done and when travel becomes easier, take a vacation or two, even a one day sightseeing or window shopping excursion can do wonders.

I was just in my crawlspace trying to track down the source of musty/moldy smell that comes up in certain places in the home (in the center) when it is really hot outside...we tracked odor coming from the back of the heating cooling control panel where the wires come in through the wall and I have sealed that up. The odor persists. So I went into the crawlspace to see if I could find any places where air from below could get up into the home. I noticed that along the long center line where the two halves of our home come together there are places where there is a small gap and places where the two halves press together. My thought is to fill in the gaps with something and maybe tape over the gap from below. I came here to learn what might be recommended. My use case is unique I guess.

If you do decide on a rug, don't go with something pale and tan or blue, but rather buy one that incorporates warm colors also, like the ones IdaClaire suggests above. Children especially thrive with bright colors around them, and it will wake up your room where everything so far is very subdued. Your furniture is very nice, but the rug is one way where you can add more and different colors; art on the walls will be another. As others have mentioned, you need other furniture, curtains and lamps.

Wow! Very good job! And now you have everything at your fingertips! And know where things are! Huge improvement! If you enjoy seeing the instruments on the shelfs, that’s your reward for all this great work. And it keeps some fairly open space too. You could hang on walls as art as Calidesign mentioned above. But somehow I think on the shelfs will help you keep shelves in order. But certainly a personal choice! My only wish, is we could hear some music from you!!!
