Just canceled my subscription after many years of price increases, USA. Took over an hour online and over phone then had to wait a week for an email where they finally capitulated. Absolute harassment.

Aye ye pirates rise. You are the base of the free modern world. Think of all the work done with this mentality at its front. What technology promises the world, is still available

Nice broom. A little mildew soap and a hose would get those slate? steps popping. Solid start though

Right on! As a dull plumber I’m proud of you. I hope you used a wax ring. Tried and true. the garbage foam gaskets should be illegal

Upon the news I did check my VOO, most would agree an aggressive broad market pick, it’s 511 a share. I bought 3 or 4 years ago in the 350s. And regularly put in. What stock market slump? Just wish I had more money to buy that dip.

My recommendation? Watch less news and don’t check your investments when you hear bad news.

And the more you open up to fix the more systemic problems you find. In an old/fixer house. Try to pick one project at a time. Spend some money when u have too. Have seen some smart people locate home improvement grants for upgrades/HVAC. You’ll need to spend money. No avoiding it. In a couple years you’ll forget how bad it all seemed and get used to the minor annoyances you haven’t gotten too. And don’t forget to learn some things. Buy a bug pump sprayer and specific chemicals on line. Learn how important gutters are and getting storm water away from the foundations. Get some rugs to cover the gaps and caulk the cracks. Most importantly A good partner for the decorating to make u forget it’s a shitty house no matter how much work you put in

To answer your question I just drink a lot.
