Glad you enjoyed Liberty. We were on Liberty in February and stayed in our first Jr. Suite, first Aft cabin for us. Great ship! Thanks. I think there are some Liberty 9 nights in May and June 2024 They do one night in Bermuda and then other ports. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can definitely see some curling of shingles on the garage side. It was fairly new when we purchased this home in 2001. I have never heard of insurance covering a roof for the simple fact it is old and needs to be replaced. Did you have damage to your roof by a storm? Our house was new when we got it it 1999. It was not damage from a particular storm but the roofer said that there was damage. Several houses in the neighborhood had the roofs replaced last year. We had some ceiling leak upstairs that was covered and the front porch. We had much covered on our previous house too. A friend suggested to have insurance company look at it, he was an agent. We did had they found hail damage. Doesn't hurt to try. Also when we had to replace our ac on the main floor several years ago we got tax credits for getting a more energy efficient ac. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 14, 2023 #93578 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We made it home to find we our blessed with the best garden start that I remember! My DD compared pics she took just last Saturday and most of the plants doubled in size. A few of the tomato plants are already 4 ft tall and several blooms! 1st row Brussel sprouts, 2nd broccoli. Kohlrabi Tomatoes with flowers already! Pole beans and cucumbers. Three different types of peppers. I few tomatoes. Watermelon Peas and cucumbers Zucchini Marigolds popping up. and lettuce cut last week already coming back. After an hour and half I was able to tie up 3 rows of tomatoes. 5 to go! I am so thankful to see such a good start! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted May 14, 2023 #93580 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Daughter surprised me with high tea at The Tea Rooms at the QVB in the city. Neither of us had been before and it was just delightful. Daughter is a coffee drinker but she very much enjoyed her tea choice of Red Roses Infusion. DS FaceTimed us and videod while he walked past deer and towards the lake whilst wishing me a Happy Mothers Day ❤️ Started with a mimosa & enjoyed all the food that was on offer. Finished with my English Breakfast Tea. Very nice & very filling. Wishing my American & Canadian friends who celebrate Mother’s Day a lovely day. For those who find Mother’s Day difficult please take care of yourselves. I know it can be a difficult day for a variety of reasons.

Rare brillohead Posted May 14, 2023 #93584 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I met my son and his girlfriend for breakfast this morning for an early Mother's Day celebration. Now that he's out of the Army, my son is growing a goatee (or "chin puff") and he's letting his hair grow out, so he resembles a ginger-haired sheep with curls in his eyes. (The top was already longer than the sides when he was in the Army, and he hasn't cut it since, so it's a very top-heavy mop.) Anyway, the waitress looked at him with his reddish curls and looked at me with my reddish curls and said, "he's yours, huh?" LOL Not too hard to figure that one out! I'm really enjoying meeting the kids for breakfast every couple of weeks. I've gone from seeing my kid twice a year to twice a month. Happy Mother's Day to all the various moms out there! 18 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted May 14, 2023 #93587 Share Posted May 14, 2023 17 hours ago, Sunshine3601 said: So we decided today just install a new unit. Opted for a 16 seer 3-ton high efficiency unit that will be installed this coming week. This expense along with the fact we are going to have a new roof installed (working on estimates this week). Homeownership is a Joy🙃 We replaced our roof, at what turned out to be the perfect time. We got some really great quotes, just after the start of the pandemic in 2020. No one was having work done, so they were glad to get it to keep their roofers busy. My daughter was looking into a new roof last year, but when there was uncertainty in what would happen to their income when she was off work as she started treatments, they were going to try and postpone the roof. It wasn’t something that should be put off, so I called the roofer we had, and we bought them a new roof. Then, this year, we bought them a new furnace. Not an AC, but still an expense. So I am quite familiar with those costs of home ownership. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have gas here so I don’t have any brand recommendations, but I like you would guess the smaller orifice is the problem. Good luck with picking the new unit.

I wish appliances actually worked in the store when viewing them. Good job on winning the battle for a refund!! I am not familiar with Thor or Kutch but wish you best in getting a replacement you are happy with. I have been using a GE. Nothing in the fancy gourmet series but the basic gas range. It has given good service. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure how you pick everything in that garden with the place so close in such a confined area..........Those 2 Watermelon plants alone take up a lot of space if they grow right. Those pepper plants are super close together. I think you might need a drone to go in there and pick the vegetables for you so not to damage the plants when picking. 😉 Everything looks good and green though ! You are off to a great start.

We are going for the industrial/commercial look so I don't think GE really makes those. I think right now we are leaning toward the Kucht Brand, saw one on Overstock.com that has a great price and the look we like. Told it also doesn't have a cooling fan to omit all that hot air into the kitchen when using the oven. Kucht's warranty in the best in this field also. 4 year warranty which includes Parts and Labor. You don't see other brands giving that long of a warranty and most just include parts and not labor. So I'm hoping that means they have a good product which doesn't have as many issues as other brands. Edited May 14, 2023 by Jimbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
