Can I change my pool equipment set up?
Comments (1)You can reverse the spa overflow check valve plumbing but you will have to reverse or replace the check valve to keep the water flowing in the right direction. Remember if she's happy you're happy....See MoreCan't change him, so how can I change my attitude about this?
Comments (21)Love - You said "He said fine, he would have to leave work early, didn't want to "inconvenience me" yada yada." and "I asked him what made him say that and he just said "well, I can't leave work early today." WOW. So I guess in his MAN MIND that is his way of acknowleding that I wouldn't do it." The way I see it is this was his way of making you feel guilty for being a SAHM, but unwilling to help him out with his kid. Don't give in!!!! Be strong in that HE needs to do what HE needs to do for HIS kid, and it wouldn't have to be this way if the (in the words of Sweeby) bat-sh*t crazy b*tch hadn't come in your home and punched you. Pseudo said "....I guess my point was if he puts BM before you ... if you had a child with him where would he draw the line ...." This is totally what I have been thinking for a few months now, but could never get the courage up to say anything. Where will he draw the line? Your DD has already been subjected to so much from this woman, and he's not even her father! How much would he put a child of his own through? Example: my friend has a DD with her DH who has 2 DDs with a crazy BM. The DH is a SAHD to the little one (DD with my friend) and would take her with him to pick up the other DDs on his weekend. It became a habit that the BM wouldn't be home at p/u time and wouldn't answer her phone. He would wait around for them to return (afraid that if he left he wouldn't get to see his DDs). One time, the little DD was in the car and carseat for 4 hours while he tried to track them down and waited for them. 4 hours! My friend finally said "You can wait around for 4 hours if you want, but you will not have MY daughter sitting in a carseat for 4 hours while you sit in your car outside their home." Basically, he had no problems putting BM ahead of his new DD. Remember...the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You just have to start squeaking louder than her. Jupiter said "I think that they need to see their ex's as good mothers (even when they clearly are not) maybe to somehow reassure themselves for when they are with her." So, so, so, true. My DH knows BM is a back-stabbing liar. But then he says stuff like "well, BM says it's SD's decision and she asks her all the time if she wants to visit". So why would he believe that one statement when he's caught her in so may lies before? The only thing that makes sense is he NEEDS to believe she's a good mother. Jupiter also said "I too run into arguments where he lets her slide on things that he wouldn't with me..I try to give him the example that if it was anyone else in his life he would have told them to go to h#$% because normally in life you don't do favors for people who don't do for you let alone someone who puts him down as a father..." and Love said "But it just totally goes against DH's overall nature, which is so frustrating." This is the issue. Which personality is the REAL one? I have this same problem with DH and I'm starting to think the way he is with HER is his personality when he's vulnerable and that scares the crap out of me because I guess I rarely ever see him vulnerable. I agree with FD. When I am flexible and accommodating with X, it is usually in the best interest of DS, and I do the work. I rarely (if ever) ask DH to do anything for DS, although he would be willing, because I feel like DS is my sole responsibility since I am the parent....See MoreHow much should I charge for fixing up a room/making these changes?
Comments (3)Is that 1600 supposed to be just flat base labor for just your active work time... and not including like transportation of equipment, materials used like polish, items needed like painting materials, sink, lightswitch cover, and so on? Is it just you, and you are moving all that machinery by yourself? Or do you have an assistant? If you have help, you need to add that labor and so on into the estimate as well. Are you sure you can fully complete the project along with after-inspection and so on with the owner within the 40 hours? What if the owner isn't happy and wants you to come back for whatever- that goes outside the 40 hours?...See MoreHow can I open up this space for a larger refrigerator
Comments (14)From the perspective of the photos, looks easy enough to just completely demo the pantry A little drywall patching, sanding and paint. I would measure from the left wall to the window and see how many inches you have. Most refrigerators run about 28 to 39 inches. Looks like you could get a smaller unit in there without covering the window. If you don't mind covering the window then once the pantry is demolished you could go with just about any standard sized fridge your comfortable with....See Moretedbixby
