Final complete day: 2026-08-14. Attention was 3.7% — this entity appeared in 230 of 6,299 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (333 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it.

   The door is probably cut high because there’s no air return in the room. If you have a vent and no air return it can cause HVAC issues. This is also common with bathrooms.

   For those lurking in the com-coms, I got a metal (not plastic) low flow showerhead from Walmart, a real old fashioned thing, and replaced the nasty mold catching leaking composite garden hose shower with the 50 massage settings. It's fucking amazing, old school is best. You can adjust the flow to wicked hard. Low flow doesn't mean wimpy spray, it means it gets pressure without wasting your hot water like those 1930s showerheads did. You can pivot it to different angles, it doesn't leak, and the goddamn thing was so inexpensive it feels like cheating. I went ahead and added a carbon filter (you replace the filter every 6 months) in between the pipe head and the shower head because my municipality likes to dump in a bunch of chlorine and it's bad for my skin. BTW if you're having weird allergy problems in your own bathroom you may want to consider my solution. Use that tiny white plumber's thread tape (it's this thin plasticky stuff, not adhesive tape) and it will never leak a day.

   You are not alone! Every time someone says “you’re getting work done on your house? Are you finally getting a new kitchen?” I want to scream at that no, my kitchen remains 25 years old, our entire budget is going to unsexy, expensive repairs. We have a bathroom that has been gutted to studs for six years but probably won’t get redone until we are ready to sell the house, because it’s not urgent. I hate it. What helps me a little is doing small DIY projects that don’t cost much or require any outside help. For example, my kitchen window sill is narrow and irregular, so today I am making a simple wood shelf that fits over the sill and provides a flat, useful platform for my herb garden. I am using wood scraps and leftover paint, so it’s free, and I will use it every day. Last week I patched and painted some walls and fixed a broken outlet cover. It is all low stakes stuff, so ymmv — if your heart is set on new countertops it probably won’t help. But I feel that by trying to tackle some of the things that annoy me on a daily basis, I am making the house feel more “mine” and less stressful. Good luck OP!!

   How do you handle setbacks and disappointments? - I’m curious how others cope because I’m sooo sad. We’ve been talking about, planning and saving for a while to upgrade or update various things around the house. The plan was to take out as small of a HEL as possible next year. Admittedly, most of these things are cosmetic or just because we want to, like a bathroom remodel, new/better flooring in some spaces, updated kitchen design. All of those savings and plans are about to be wiped out by necessary repairs and upgrades due to the heavy rains all summer in our area. Our drainage systems couldn’t keep up and it’s become essential we address this and do it right. What’s the point of a dream kitchen if the foundation is buckling, right? I don’t know. I’m very very grateful we are in a financial position to handle what’s needed, but also just really bummed. I’m kinda feeling like Ellie and Carl in UP. Maybe I just needed to scream into the void with my first world problem

   We had super thick carpets when we bought our house, ripped them all out and yes, now there’s a gap between the bottom of the doors and the wood floors. Nothing scary there. Child lock on the outside - could be to prevent kids from going to the playroom at 2am, I know a kid who would get out of the crib and wander around. There were child lock things in the outside of the bathroom doorknobs (so they can’t open the door) so the kid wouldn’t drown in the toilet or get hurt in the bathroom after hours. Parents need to sleep sometime.
