My 12yo daughter just scraped the top of her foot. No meds. Not bleeding a lot. Assuming I don't need to rush to an urgent care here? Was gonna clean and bandage. 4ft, 80 lbs

Take down if not right for sub. This is a question about what to do with your oil burner in an emergency situation

Mainly loss of electricy. Assuming you don't have backup power, what should you do with your boiler if the power goes out for an extended period of time in the winter? Do you turn it off and bleed the lines? Thanks.

I think I'm having a bad contractor experience. Just looking for clarification

A few months ago I posted about these steps. The advice seemed to be to just redo the whole thing. The guy I usually use was pretty expensive. I got a second quote and really vibed with the guy. Licensed and insured. Seemed confident. Pictures looked good. He came in below my other guys quote, to the point that even my guy said I should go with the other contractor (he looked online and said things looked good). Well we're 5 days into a supposedly 5 day project and here's where we're at.

The space under the front door was empty when he removed the slab. He said there was nothing supporting the concrete, no rebar no nothing. So it looks like the original contractor was subpar. Originally he said he would float a slab but reinforce with rebar and netting. Then on day 2 or 3 he said he was going to fill with a compacted base and started throwing in old bricks and broken up concrete (even if they fill with gravel and compact, won't that shift over time).

The design is platform on top with pavers. 5 bluestone steps down. Another large rectangular paver pad at the bottom of the steps. Another step or 2 down to the right. and then pavers to the driveway. Please help me understand what I'm seeing here. It doesn't look right to me.

I'm ready to be roasted

Hey dad. Cell phones, kids, and a disagreement with the wife

Hey dad. My kids are getting to that age where they are asking for a phone. My wife is willing to give them one sooner rather than later. My feeling is that having the phone is an awesome power that requires a level of responsibility. My idea is that they can have a phone when they are able to hold down a part time job and pay for it themselves. I feel Ike that's a fair compromise. We are in wild, unprecedented times when it comes to the phone issue. Most of my daughter's friends have phones, and I understand the complexities that come with being an outcast, but I still feel like withholding is the correct decision (to my knowledge, her social life isn't being majorly affected by it yet). I think of the old adage "if all of your friends jumped off the bridge, would you follow them?". I just feel like all of these parents aren't doing the right thing and now we are being peer pressured to give the phone. To be clear, we have her an Apple Watch that she can use for calls and texts. Dad, I'm really struggling with this issue and could use a little advice. My wife thinks I'm being ridiculous.

On a side note, I really miss you man!
