I used to work here at MSU with Deb McCullough, one of the leading researchers on EAB. She’s awesome.

The other shows up as says “You don’t need anything done. Your sump is working. Seepage in older block foundations is normal. Buy a dehumidifier. Bye.”

The original owners of my first house applied wallpaper directly to the sheetrock. No primer.

Prep is EVERYTHING. Who cares about the painting? It’s the frickin’ prep that takes you 99% of the time.

My husband said to me this spring, “Hey, we should paint the house some time soon.” We have a two-story farmhouse (small-ish though) with painted aluminum siding.

When I worked for a homebuilder, one of our construction managers offered to teach me how to solder copper pipe. We did a hands-on training on the back of his pickup one day at lunch. Fun!

That’s an excellent suggestion. Hiring your own home inspector for inspection before drywall wouldn’t hurt too, if you can swing it. After plumbing, electrical, HVAC is done.

Good luck and congratulations! Remember, water is your enemy. Keep your gutters clean and redo the caulking in the kitchen and bath whenever it needs it. Check your attic at least once a year during a really good, heavy rain.

I am outright PARANOID about old wiring and electrical stuff. Wanna see a scary picture? This is our hall light fixture before we had it fixed.

You’re showing the Mike Rogers who was a representative from Michigan before becoming a CNN talking head.

Michigan will donate some delicious Mackinac Island fudge for those baskets. Or dried sweet cherries.

From your neighbor next door (Michigan), thank you for this.

I’m playing the video for the song and this gif is totally matching up, beat-wise. AWESOME!

Have you read her Twitter account? She’s great!

Ours always has a mouse nest in it. :sigh: HOrrible.

I can say this applies to the ladies (at least this one) as well. There are certain things my husband doesn’t like and I’m not going to force him to watch Schitz’s Creek with me, while I enjoy a nice cider. Peace and quiet. We all need it.

Have you tried using Panera’s online Rapid Order? That thing rocks. The website is SO well designed. It has the ability for you to basically customize all their stuff. Very nicely done. Plus, you pay online, walk in and just grab your stuff off the shelf. Sweet. The one near us has a line out the door all the time at…

OMG, I would have LOVED to have gone to that concert!! Iglesias creates as many flippin’ ear worms as Pitbull does! What a dance party that must’ve been.

Can I just say I love Pitbull? I know he gets a lot of beef for...whatever, but he keeps his look dapper, loves his culture, works his butt off. I can respect that.

Thank you. I was waiting for someone to bring up the Four Essential Humours.
I’m sure that Trump probably believes in these.
