So it’s currently 100 degrees F in my garage today. I’m sure it will only get worse as the summer goes on. I added some of those insulated garage door panels, but I don’t think they did anything....
I have the same problem with a different setup. Half finished walls. Nothing up except the roof. No insulation on walls or ceilings. 15 degrees hotter than outside.
Lack of insulation on roof and vents that are kind of blocked by the finished walls is my issue.
Solutions I've thought about are putting a vent up high, by the ^ of the roof. Putting a fan near that. Stapling insulation to the joists, just under roof, to keep some of that heat out.
Out of left field solution: get a heat pump water heater. It will be a lil loud tho.
You have to figure it out somehow. Just figure out which you could stand doing for a year. You can always try to change to the other after a year if you hate it

Hey all, I've created a catio (cat patio) for my two cats in a window well next to my desk. They absolutely love it, but I would like to make it even better for them by using real grass.

Looks like there are a variety of sedum species suitable for your climate - but don't know how rough your cats are and if they would tear that up. You could try a variety of herbs like mint - might be a source of interest for the cats.

Norms are eroded when they are violated and there are no consequences.
'Why should I pay attention to carpool lane signs if there is not penalty for violating them? I won't.' Lots of people think this way and now they are just another lane.
Violations of norms are also contagious. If one traffic law doesn't matter, maybe we can get away with violating it more. 'I did it before and didn't get caught. Maybe I can keep doing it to save time'
It prob takes at least 6 months for the money to be available, a bunch of time to figure out land permissions and contracts, time to negotiate with suppliers. 2 years means first stations prob starting to roll out about now.

Trying to keep my very picky eater 3yo healthy as we're (hopefully) expanding his diet. Right now the only foods I can get him to actually eat are McDonald's, a specific brand of yogurt, banana bread, some crackers and some bars. Refuses any beverage besides water. (He's likely on the spectrum.)
I know you've thought of this, but encouraging you to try again. Ive found that kids will refuse something to eat and then come back to it later when they are actually hungry.
It may take a tantrum and crazy cry session, but with love and attention they can normalize and get back towards a more normal diet.
I get that kids have certain things they don't like, but for anyone whose kids only eat things that are deep fry brown, I think it's worth the short-term crisis to solve the long-term aggravation and health issues.
Edit: ok yeah I missed the potential autism part of question. Encourage other parents to stay strong with eating habits if that is not the case
Uhh.. is it legit to just cut thru beams to put in piping? Over half of those beams are cut thru. I'd ask about that as well. I can't tell where this is, but if the plumber cut thru load bearing beams to put in plumbing that might be an expensive fix.

Man... Fuck the US patent system.
"Our Firefly Petunias are protected under patent, and as such, propagation and breeding are not permitted. These petunias are sold exclusively for personal use."
Ok, I'll take back some of my hate. I thought they had put some sort of monsanto-like 'if you try to reproduce it on your own they'll die' gene.
If it's not 'pay $40 if you want another plant' then that's more reasonable.
You're looking at this wrong way.
