At least you don't have to watch and read all the credits after a movie, even if it means pausing and rewinding a few times.
After 27 years the wife is almost use to that.

Or do you …

The last movie I saw in a Theater I sure did....we all did....haven't seen but a few movies even on DVD, etc. Music stuff excepted....

That was back when JL's Imagine doc was released...

Give peace a chance... :)

woo...

1) Water the fence. Drip irrigation across the top, with humidity sensors so it doesn't shrink.
2) Until we resolve the screw-plate issue, I suggest screwless covers.

I have rocker light switches in most of the house. The one in the kitchen for the main lights is reversed, IOW it turns off the lights when it should turn them on.
And that's on porpoise.
When we open the pantry doors all the way, one of em can hit the rocker switch.
If the lights are off it will turn them on, and that's OK.
If it were the other way around it would turn the lights off when we didn't want then off, and that would not be OK.

But it's still hard to get used to.

^^^^ I AM impressed....were you awake all night because of my fence gaps too? The only internet site I need PPOT....awesome suggestion #1, but have you considered the excess caulk I might have applied as preventive maintenance?

I have a big azz oak tree teetering....pro cut the wedge out and is 2 minutes from dropping it....if the mama 'coon and her babies have vacated since yesterday....we were in total agreement...

Karma...

Nope. Fence gaps are good.
1/4" is exactly what they should be and you are well on your way to get there. ;)

What direction is that tree gonna fall?
What direction is the wind blowing?

Sometimes you will get one plank that doesn't shrink like the others.
