Hello all,

I'm in a 100+ year old house. I've got AC, but the dampers on all the first floor vents are just gone. The house is not well insulated and it leaves my room in particular quite a bit warmer than the first floor, so I'd like to be able to close the first floor vents. The baseboard vents are very nice (if in need of some restoration) and I would rather not replace them with the boring sheet metal ones. Has anyone ever dealt with this?

Ripped out my shit ass boxwoods 3 years ago, planted some native pollinators, on to the rest

I started embroidering a little while ago after exploring other mediums that allow me to get out some creative juice. I'm not a particularly talented artist, but embroidery has allowed me to get ideas out of my head and into the physical world without looking like complete shit. And it's fun and cathartic.
