It’s always this combo of annoyed and satisfied with house projects. You hate to think of all the things you need/want to do, but it’s great once it’s done.

Then of course there is always something else. As soon as one project is done, something will break or leak or just bug you and it’s time to start something else.

I was talking to peachy Peach about kissy Kiss. He bought me a soda.
The only thing I really hate doing is plumbing work. I have a couple of nice organizers full of plumbing parts, but since it's not a fully stocked van, it seems like every single time you fix or remodel something it becomes minimum 3 trips to Depot or Lowe's

Plumbing work is disgusting. I hope I never learn what my hands were covered in when I replaced all my faucets

And that's just faucets, sewage type stuff would be awful

e: and I bought a basin wrench that I will probably never use again

I had this today. I've been dabbling in minor electrical projects - replaced a light fixture with a ceiling fan, swapped out a light switch, replaced the dining room chandelier. Annoying fiddling with the old rear end wires and finding old damage in the ceiling, but such a great feeling to sit back and go, "gently caress that old light, my house gets The Good Light."

A week and a half til move it. Very ready to get this done.

Like 2 episodes. It’s not like Parks and Rec which basically retooled to become a different show after the first season. If you don’t like it just watch something else.

I once watched a grown rear end, 6' ish, muscled dude pick up a maybe 5' 105lb woman and use her as a shield against ~60 ish feet of gravity pressurized 4" sewage piping when she didn't listen to us yelling stop as she backed out a clean out cap. It started spraying this dude and he just grabbed this girl and used her as a deflector against all of it.

I also watched a guy take a piece of calcium from a pipe straight down the throat when he opened his mouth to say something while snaking up 30 or so feet in a 6" main.

But I've also seen a dude on his rack floating across his berthing on a sea of poo poo water because a contractor didn't block off a pipe after cutting it.

Sewage work is easy

I put a bidet on my toilet today and it hasn't leaked so basically I feel like a god.

First time I used it I still used a couple squares of toilet paper to dry it though, which probably defeats the purpose of me installing it.

Nah the purpose is your rear end gets much cleaner

Nope. You’ll be using much less TP drying than you ever did wiping.

They sell better than wax rings which are significantly less gross, but you do have to scrape up the old nasty one.

My wife got the Luxe bidet Neo 185. It's super cheap, extremely easy to install, and works like a charm (no fancy stuff like variable temps though)

I was a skeptic for a long time, but I'm fully bought in now and it's really weird making GBS threads somewhere that doesn't have one. The TP usage isn't any worse than usual either.

I know it sounds hyperbolic, but it really is life changing. It’s life changing in a way that multiple other societies figured out way before us (I reckon spritzing water on your b-hole was just too close to sinnin’ for our Puritan roots) but better late than never.

Yeah I guess it depends on how long the game takes. 70 bones is a lot

The nice thing about rogue-likes are that it doesn't need to be long if the gameplay's good enough to keep you playing the same gameplay loop over and over. I started playing Enter the Gungeon when Sony made it free during the last Play at Home event, and I've probably put it close to forty hours into it, if not more. From what I've seen of it, I would gladly put a similar amount of time into Returnal, game looks amazing, and it's 3D bullet hell done right.

I switched to wet wipes after TP became hard to find during the early days of the pandemic (I scored a case of them) and now I can't go back to TP, I feel so much cleaner. I imagine I'd feel similarly if I switched to a bidet
