Don't Miss Out: Today Only - Complimentary Membership + Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker

internal use only. STR:1254_DET Yes, You are not alone with this issue because I have had the same problems this year. And I live in the southern part of Virginia. I sit on a concrete slab and water is all probably graded away from the house. The biggest problem area I had was coming from my porch that is covered. I ended up getting my porch leveled by JES foundation. I had a lot of water come out from underneath the house when they started ejecting the foam. I think the main issue that I can think of is there is Styrofoam between the concrete slab and the exterior foundation. Beatles were digging holes in specific areas and these holes was where the condensation was coming from. Additionally this year for Virginia and North Carolina were very humid and I don't think these homes in this area are built for that. My outlets on all exterior walls were bowed inward. = So I think is a combination of the builder and insulation. So far for a fix I have been spring the sill plate with polyurethane foam and filling in all gaps with the polyurethane foam. I think going through a lot of cans. When I pull my floor I will be repairing the concrete around the edges with a self-leveling concrete repair mix followed by a vapor barrier that gets up to the edge. I will be replacing my wooden baseboards with PVC baseboards. I don't know if that will fix it but I haven't found any solutions to this problem versus just tearing the house down and building something new.

The first light of dawn hints at a city stirring calmly. Each window reflects a fresh tale; perhaps a giggle, perhaps a silent morning routine. Coffee cups warm hands, their warmth gently seeping into the serene atmosphere. Sunbeams complexly bend as they pass by plants perched on sills, brushing over seemingly chaotic magazine piles. The world feels alive and unhurried, content in its slow progression.

Activity outside pulses with the rhythm of intent. Footsteps resonate, pairing with soft rustles of leaves swept into gutters. A neighbor, possibly with a paper folded at the corner, speculates on the day's unfolding. The ordinary holds a subtle gravitas: the tap of keys, the splash of sink water, a far-off bird song pausing intermittently with the spreading light.

It's captivating to ponder on these pauses—where time unfurls enough to observe a breath, or a sleeve's casual slump. The coolness of tiles meeting bare feet, a body's understated sigh when stepping out, or the unexpected shade beneath a tree during the wait for transportation or a friend.

As the sun dips later, its golden glow filters in stripes through blinds. Everything appears softer; shadows cast an almost cerulean hue. The abode stretches, seemingly resting into tranquility. Bounties of subtle kindness pepper the world—often unnoticed unless keenly perceived, easier to discern when focusing on something small and lingering there.

Evening blankets the day, its vibrant voices giving way to serene, steady undertones. One might curl up with a chilly drink reminiscing noonday memories, gazing at a star-lit canvas. A clock's gentle tick might offer solace, marking time tenderly. Reality narrows down to the self and night, postponing weightier matters indefinitely.

These tender pauses, delightful reminders, solicit minimal effort while urging pause. Within them, countless quiet joys emerge—moments marking time by calm rather than haste. Dwelling in these pauses, even momentarily, is intimate recognition of one's belonging in an expansive, gentle universe, under a sky that shifts perpetually yet consistently envelopes with its immensity.

I generally can cook well, but the times when I watch people leaving my food unfinished, I keep on wondering if they truly enjoyed the meal, even if they said it was great. Conversely, when it's my turn to taste food that doesn't impress me, I tend to keep quiet about it, to not hurt anybody's feelings. It is a sign of respect for the effort they put in. I used to know a lady who simply lacked culinary skills!! Unfortunately, she passed away last spring, and while I have fond memories, cooking wasn't one of her strengths. Her pasta would often be so overcooked that a child could easily eat it without needing to chew. She tried roasting chicken at normal temperatures but for over 6 hours. The cabbage she boiled retained so much water you'd need a spoon to eat it! Cooking rice was never her forte either, as it often ended up mushy like mashed potatoes or grits. Maybe I'm lucky, but among my friends, those who aren't good at cooking openly admit it and ask for help. We know each other's strengths, and when it comes to cooking, we're quick to lend a hand. When asked how I'd let "someone" know that I didn't enjoy their cooking If it's not someone close, my actions might speak for me. I typically won't eat something if it's really bad, or I'll discreetly push my plate aside. If I'm at a dining establishment where feedback is prompted and it's fine dining, I'll provide polite constructive feedback or simply leave food uneaten without comment. Appreciate your understanding.

Grab Your Courtesy Road Kit, AAA Licensed Drivers

Morning brief: Route B faces paving delays near Cedar, plan a small detour if you leave before sunrise. If you ride a bicycle, Pine Avenue offers smoother lanes and gentler grades for the midweek commute. Pack a light jacket; a mild breeze may roll in after dusk and temperatures can dip more than expected. Keep a tiny flashlight, tire gauge, and a notebook in your glove box to track maintenance dates. Charge your phone overnight, tidy your trunk so essentials are easy to reach, and set a reminder to check pressure this weekend. Small, steady habits like these make every trip calmer and more predictable across the season.

Greetings, you'll soon get the latest report. Your post seems to support a beam, not a joist. (semantics.) You are understandably concerned about the top of those posts, but how about the bottom of that "notch" It is the resting surface for the beam, and it might be deteriorated more than the top of the post, since water can stay trapped there. Consider inspecting the post with a pick there, to check if the bottom of the notch remains sturdy.

I often linger to watch the horizon and its soft transitions. Currently the shade tends toward a muted grey, like a cherished cover gently placed over the afternoon. It isn't a dreary grey; it feels contemplative, the kind that beckons a deeper breath and a relaxed pace. Against it, the branches outside appear more vibrant, little banners of green tracing each branch as they move in a gentle rhythm. When the wind flows, they respond with a gracious dance that lingers just enough to catch your attention. Observing that delicate motion is a reminder to take a pause before the next comes, letting the moment settle and spread in its own time.

The home holds its own tune if you listen well. There's a quiet, steady hum from another room, maybe a device busy with its task, and a subtle click that follows occasionally, like a gentle knock in the background. I notice my breathing when all else quiets down, a soft meter keeping its rhythm without demanding focus. That consistent beat feels like a subtle drum somewhere nearby, guiding the moments forward. It's easy to overlook these notes during hectic hours, yet when they emerge, they make the house feel settled, attended to, and familiar in the best sense.

I recall the cool touch of grass beneath my bare feet from another season. The blades bend and spring back, damp with morning's whisper, uttering greetings in the earth's own tongue. It's a simple greeting, the kind that requests nothing yet offers everything in return. You glance up and the clouds tell their own swift tales: one shaped like a dozing dog floating along, another resembling a small, cozy boat gliding over a hidden sea. Eventually, they transform into something else, and then something else again, reminding you that change is always close and seldom sudden if you watch closely.

A warm mug embraced with both hands performs a quiet kind of magic. The heat seeps into your fingertips and settles there, bringing a stillness that doesn't hurry. If you tilt the mug towards the sunshine, tiny specks float and shimmer like the liquid is keeping pace with you. It isn't fancy and doesn't need to be; the warmth is sufficient. On leisurely afternoons it resembles a companion at the table, a wee pause that opens the gate to another clear breath and a softer notion before you return to the rest of the day.

I reflect on how each person you encounter holds a world you can't perceive. There are stories folded within their days, and ambitions reaching beyond the edge of your own. Each strolls by with their various narratives, some luminous, some silent, all crucial to someone. These distinct worlds drift close and then depart again, brushing by, trading nods, and continuing on. Remembering that can render a crowded space feel expansive, as if the city itself is breathing with a calm, shared rhythm that accommodates everyone.

Often the finest segments of a day arise in the gaps between larger moments. The final exhale after a long list is complete. The soft rustle of a page turning and settling. The manner in which the afternoon glow stretches into a narrow path across the floor, then extends and fades as evening emerges. These are subtle markers that request nothing more than your awareness. When you greet them with mindfulness, they repay you by making the mundane feel bountiful, reminding you that presence is a full experience all by itself.

Recently, I've been delving into new gardening projects and thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite plants and gardening ideas. I recently built a raised garden bed, and it turned out superb! Does anyone have any go-to plants or horticultural tips they'd like to share Looking forward to hearing your gardening chronicles! ===--+--=== Best, Sarah From: Oliver Reyes Date: October 2, 2024, 08:30 AM Hi Sarah and crew, That sounds brilliant, Sarah! One of my favorite ventures is cultivating succulents. They're low maintenance, eye-catching, and always a conversation starter. A green tip I can share: always check the soil moisture before watering. It makes the growing process much healthier, especially for drought-tolerant species. Happy growing! Cheers, Oliver ===--+--=== From: Mia Anderson Date: October 2, 2024, 10:15 AM Good morning everyone, Sarah, your raised bed garden sounds fantastic! I love experimenting with textures too. Recently, I crafted a herbal garden that uses different shapes and heights. It's aromatic and visually pleasing without being too challenging. Oliver, checking soil moisture is a crucial step. I also enjoy using a theme-based approach, where colors and shapes are chosen methodically. It helps with design and prevents mismatches. Can't wait to hear additional ideas!

I often stop to gaze at the sky and its subtle changes. Today the hue shifts toward a gentle gray, akin to a softly worn blanket draped lightly over the afternoon. It isn't a dreary gray; it feels contemplative, the kind that invites a slower breath and an easy pace. Against it, the leaves outside seem brighter, small flags of green outlining each branch as they sway with a quiet rhythm. When the air stirs, they respond with a patient dance that stays just long enough to catch your eye. Observing that calm motion is a reminder to pause before the next moment unfolds, to let the scene rest and expand at its own pace.

The house carries its own melody if you listen closely. There's a low, steady hum from another room, perhaps a machine minding its task, and a small click that follows now and then, like a gentle knock in the background. I can hear my breathing when everything else calms, a quiet beat that maintains its rhythm without seeking attention. That steady cadence feels like a quiet drum somewhere nearby, guiding the minutes forward. It's easy to overlook these notes during busy hours, yet when they surface, they make the space feel peaceful, cared for, and familiar in the best way.

I recall the coolness of grass beneath bare feet from a warmer time. The blades bend and spring back, damp with a whisper of morning, greeting in the earth's own language. It's a simple salutation, the kind that asks for nothing and gives everything in return. You look up and the clouds are sharing their own brief stories: one shaped like a sleepy pup meandering along, another like a small, cozy boat gliding over an unseen sea. Before long they turn into something else, and then something else again, reminding you that change is always near and rarely abrupt when you look closely.

A warm cup held with both hands does a quiet kind of work. The warmth seeps into your fingers and settles there, bringing a calm that doesn't rush. If you tilt the cup toward the light, tiny flecks drift and glimmer as if the water is keeping time with you. It isn't elaborate and doesn't need to be; the warmth is enough. On slow afternoons it feels like a companion at the table, a small pause that opens the door to another deep breath and a softer thought before you return to the rest of the day.

I consider how every person you pass carries a world you cannot see. There are memories tucked inside their days, and plans that stretch beyond the horizon of your own. Each one walks by with their layered stories, some vibrant, some quiet, all important to someone. These separate worlds drift close and then apart again, brushing shoulders, trading nods, and moving on. Remembering that can make a crowded place feel spacious, as if the city itself is breathing with a patient, shared rhythm that holds room for everyone.

Often the best parts of a day appear in the spaces between larger moments. The last sigh after a long list is completed. The gentle scrape of a page turning and settling. The way the afternoon light stretches into a narrow path across the floor, then lengthens and fades as evening approaches. These are quiet markers that ask for nothing more than your attention. When you meet them with awareness, they return the favor by making the mundane feel generous, reminding you that being present is a rich experience all on its own.

Upcoming upgrade imminent, Your column is carved to support a truss, not a rafter. (semantics.) You are accurately observant about the crown of the posts, but what about the foundation of the "indent" It is the carrying surface for the beam, and it could be decayed worse than the crown of the post, since dampness can gather there. You might want to examine the post with a tool there, to see if the bottom of the cut is still solid.

I often pause to observe the sky and its subtle changes. Today the shade drifts toward a soft gray, like a cherished blanket resting lightly over the afternoon. It isn't a somber gray; it feels reflective, the sort that invites a slower breath and a gentle pace. Against it, the leaves outside seem more vivid, little flags of green outlining every branch as they sway in a serene rhythm. When the air shifts, they respond with a patient dance that lingers just long enough to catch your gaze. Watching that gentle motion is a reminder to take a moment before the next one unfolds, to let the scene settle and expand in its own pace.

The house carries its own melody if you tune in closely. There's a low, steady hum from another room, perhaps a machine minding its chore, and a soft click that follows now and then, like a polite knock in the backdrop. I can hear my breathing when everything else hushes, a quiet meter that keeps its pace without vying for attention. That steady rhythm feels like a calm drum somewhere nearby, guiding the minutes forward. It's easy to miss these notes during bustling hours, yet when they surface, they make the space feel settled, attended to, and familiar in the best way.

I recall the coolness of grass beneath bare feet from a warmer season. The blades bend and spring back, damp with a whisper of morning, offering their own greeting. It's a simple exchange, the kind that asks for nothing and returns everything in kind. You look up and the clouds are telling their own brief tales: one shaped like a sleepy animal drifting along, another like a modest, cozy vessel sliding over an unseen sea. Before long they transform into something else, and then something else again, reminding you that change is always nearby and rarely abrupt upon close observation.

A warm cup held with both hands does its own quiet labor. The heat transfers into your fingers and settles there, bringing a calm that doesn't hurry. If you tip the cup toward the light, tiny flecks drift and sparkle as if the water is keeping time with you. It isn't extravagant and doesn't need to be; the warmth suffices. On slow afternoons it feels like a companion at the table, a small pause that opens the door to another clear breath and a gentler thought before you return to the rest of the day.

I reflect on how every individual you pass possesses a universe you can't perceive. There are memories folded into their days, and plans extending beyond the horizon of your own. Each one walks by with their layered narratives, some bright, some muted, all significant to someone. These separate universes drift close and then separate again, brushing shoulders, exchanging nods, and moving on. Remembering that can make a bustling place feel expansive, as if the city itself is breathing with a patient, shared cadence that holds room for everyone.

Often the most rewarding parts of a day manifest in the spaces between key moments. The last sigh after a lengthy list is concluded. The soft rustle of a page turning and settling. The way the afternoon light stretches into a narrow path across the floor, then lengthens and fades as evening descends. These are quiet markers that demand nothing more than your notice. When you meet them with attention, they return the favor by making the ordinary feel bountiful, reminding you that being present is a fulfilling experience on its own.
