First-World Problems...

Look...I get it. Modern windows are amazingly efficient, and one reason is that they are no longer separated into small panes. That makes them much better insulators...and ugly looking. So the answer was fake slats? I think they are called mullions (maybe), which is faintly creepy in its own right.

But the wonderful technology of modern windows has failed the mullion industry! The damned things attach using stupid little metal clips that fall out when the window frame flexes...from wind pressure or expansion or contraction. And then the mullions fall out.

We can put a man on the moon and keep Joe Biden ambulatory...but we can't design a mullion that stays put?

35 My First World Problem six days ago (it's likely an All World problem) -

Drivers who haven't turned on their headlights, and whose vehicles don't have front daylight running lights, going about 90 after dark on I-10 in central Texas. You cannot see them approaching from behind unless they block the headlights of a vehicle behind them. You don't notice them passing you until the proximity light on the side mirror suddenly lights-up and simultaneously a dark shape whizzes past on your left. Scary dangerous. I flashed my hi-beams at them to hopefully maybe them think about turning on lights but that was a waste of time.

This should be a Federal Capital Offense.

57 I have a first world problem!

We want the ledge/shelf in front of our fireplace/TV cubby widened/expanded(it has a "fashionable" cutout that makes it almost useless) so that we can fit one of the giant screen TVs there, as it's the best place for viewing in the house.

The ledge seems to be a wooden sorta boxlike structure with marble slabs glued(?) to it.

We also would like to have a fireplace "cover" made cuz we use that thing so rarely we might as well not have it. And that should look better than than an empty fireplace hole peaking around the TV screen.

So, any suggestions how to best get these things done.

Hire a mason/ Talk to a Fireplace Store?

What/who would you use to get this done?

All suggestions welcome!

Lots of straw piled thick worked quite well. Until it started raining. And kept raining and raining and fucking raining. Organic sidewalk is under the mud and water. The whole damn thing is mud soup at this point. Yesterday, Hubbymayhem put down the red neck sidewalk. Old porch boards from the old house porch laying on other boards to raise it above the water/mud level. Until the rain stops and the ground dries out and the new porch gets built, I am stuck with walking a narrow wooden "bridge" type sidewalk.

80 Madamemayhem, I had a path to the shed that was old clay tiles that were breaking and overgrown, I wound up salvaging some pavers from the neighbor who was rebuilding his back patio, and dug out the old tiles and put down gravel and laid them down in a path. I then swept sand and ground limestone into the cracks, and waited for them to settle. I did have to reset a section because it had a low spot that was a puddle, but on the whole it was a good move and it looks super classy. Eventually grass will grow in the cracks and then I will only have to edge and mow it.

I have a friend who put down borders of those cement pavers and dumped fine crushed gravel on the path between them, and that makes a very nice path too. She has to weed it occasionally and add a couple of buckets every couple of years, but it drains and is firm enough for a walker.

both of these solutions were better than my initial solutions of putting down chips.

84 58 My first world problem is a third world sidewalk. We needed to be able to walk from the drive way to the house without wading thru mud. First fix was the "organic" walkway. Lots of straw piled thick worked quite well. Until it started raining. And kept raining and raining and fucking raining. Organic sidewalk is under the mud and water. The whole damn thing is mud soup at this point. Yesterday, Hubbymayhem put down the red neck sidewalk. Old porch boards from the old house porch laying on other boards to raise it above the water/mud level. Until the rain stops and the ground dries out and the new porch gets built, I am stuck with walking a narrow wooden "bridge" type sidewalk.

I did a nice stepping stone pathway in one spot for my wife. It works well for her, but it is a "low traffic" area for her so there is a slight trip hazard.

We have a Frank Lloyd Wright house near us that did an entire driveway of "turfstone". Those are concrete grid pavers that allow your groundcover to grow up through the grid.

Their turfstone area is perfectly flat and level and looks beautiful.

It's possible to mount on a wall but the way our house is set up, it would be pretty awkward for day to day living. And would require a lot of rewiring.

As far as the picture goes- are you familiar with open concept homes? There is a sort of 3/4 length "wall" area with one entrance on either side to the kitchen/dining area.

Half of this wall area on the left has the fireplace on the right there's one of those old-fashioned TV and shelving cubbies which were so popular in the 90s.

That's the area we want to use.

142 "Donald Trump, when he was Commander-in-Chief, refused to visit a cemetery, a U.S. cemetery outside of Paris for fallen American soldiers and he referred to those heroes, and I quote as 'suckers and losers.'" Then Biden lost his mind and started screaming, "He actually said that!! He said that! HOW DARE HE say that! How dare he talk about my son and all [unintelligible] like that."

This has been roundly debunked and no, there's no evidence that "he actually said that." Moreover it's just completely untrue that Trump "refused" to go. He wanted to go but they didn't go because of concerns about weather, as emails revealed.

But on top of losing his mind over yet another false story that media and Democrats like to spread about Trump, notice how he includes his son among the fallen World War II soldiers. His son not only wasn't in World War II, but he didn't fall in battle, he died of cancer. How dare he keep spreading this falsehood suggesting his son died in battle. Or is he so far gone he believes this?

The government isn't lying when they hire 500,000 engineers to get a job done and they spend a decade accomplishing the task.

It's the least they could do, and they did it.

203 Muntins, also referred to as muntin bars or muntin grids, are a decorative option on windows used to make one pane of glass look like multiple panes framed together. This can have the effect of making a modern window appear more colonial or of a more classic design.

204 Skip, re: truck door problem

Call a locksmith and explain your issue. They maybe can actuate the latch by using special tools that go inside the door thru window slot.

208 Also, Skip:

Even if your truck door has fixed window (the kind of door that you unlatch only after front door is opened) locksmith still may be able to actuate rear latch, going in once rear handle assembly is removed or simply unbolted and moved aside.
