I compost everything, including yard waste and kitchen scraps and still somehow never have enough compost to go around and at least 1 of my compost piles always seems to have room. Some things are reduced in size by the lawn mower running over it as denninmi described and then composted. Most of the autumn leaves never make it to the compost pile; they get run over multiple times and then raked back into the lawn or used to mulch flower beds. I can process all my stuff that needs composting from all my gardens as well as periodic additions of manure in a space that's a little under 3 1/2' x 12' and can be up to 4' high (except for really large branches which go into the woods) and I actively garden what's probably more than an acre of beds, mixed borders along with a large veggie garden. Can you widen your compost area behind the garage? My mum lives in a suburb where you can put sticks and other yard refuse out for recycling, either bundled in less than 4' lengths or in brown yard refuse bags. (I do most of her gardening.) In my small rural town, there is an area of the town transfer station where yard refuse is collected and composted for those who don't compost.

Has anybody dealt with an inspector passing something on rough and then failing it on final? My stairs have been in place since the start of the build, I have had several different inpsectors since the start of the project, all of which had traversed the stairs numerous times. I pass all rough inspections and the last inspector I had prior to this new guy gave the ok to drywall and put flooring on. When we finally got ready for the final inspection of the home, the new inspector (arrogant a hole) comes out and says the stairs are no good and need to be fixed. The staircase is three separte flights with two landings. The first flight the bottom step is around 8.25" and then the next three are at 7.5" , the second flight the bottom step is 5.5" and then the rest are 7.5", the next landing is divided into two landings and that step up is at 8", the next flight has the bottom step at 8" and the rest at 7.5"until the top step which is 8" also. I have figured out how to get all the stairs within approx 1/4" of each other except for the last flight. This is where there is a really big issue aside from the fact that the entire house is drywalled, painted flooring installed and that issue is that within the area of the top step of the stairs is countless electrical runs along with minisplit lines and some water lines for radiant floor. Any suggestions? There were a few other problem areas that the inspector mentioned not in relation to the stairs which have all been remedied. Upon reviewing the inspection results on the counties website, this last inspector passed the rough framing inspection (which had been approved before just had not been signed off on the card itself) and then states on the final inspection results that the stairs are no good.

PART 2 he has spread lies about me all over town, has people look out for me and call him when they see me like I'm some kind of criminal. I've never been arrested or in trouble with the law. never was dishonest with them. matter of fact my honesty has been anmd still is used agaiunst me. his son is a dope head, has been arrested,for domestic violence, grand theft auto, breaking and entering, drugs, u name it. I still deal with the abuse because I need my adopted mom for a place to stay. I feel like a pile of dung for having to depend on her. its impossible to be independent when your making 10.50 hr. With a growing boy in school and fiance is hashing out problems with SSI as he is unable to work. and because she is brainwashed into thinking she needs him, he has control and messes with me however he can, yet i cant think of a way to kleep him away from me and quit messing with me. He set the pool pump to go on for 5 hours everyday and locked it and did the same with the sprinklers so we cant change it. I pay the water and electric bill. He's got the whole world it seems like convinced I'm on drugs. that infuriates me because no one sees that he's being dishonest and unreasonable. they all know his son is a skrew up and a drug addict and that he's been in all sorts of trouble. and I'm not yet they believe him. I wanna know where did his credibility come from? y are his friend and he's so stupid to believe him and not question his mean nasty things he says in such a mean nasty way about a child (when I was) and when he still talks so bad about me now, and to mainly the same people, now that I'm an adult and doing my own thing y don't they ever question him? I mean come on, it's got to get old at some point, this crazy white hair man running around can't keep my name out his mouth. y he is so hell bent on proving to the world that im a skrew up??

I am with you on notification over load. I go insane sitting next to DH who seems to NEED notifications for Etsy/FB/Youtube to DING on his phone all dang night!!! Me I prefer to be in control of when I attend to such things. I never ever never ever turn on notifications! Here on the top right of your screen you can see a bell--that bell when hovered over gives you all the threads you would have gotten notifications on. There is no reason to feel you might miss something, or to be bothered with all this senseless filling of in boxes.
