Agree with all of these points. One other consideration is that we don’t have the grid capacity and currently along the East coast a lot of our electricity is powered coal lol

Mission

If you’re in a pinch, I highly recommend getting dry food automatic dispensers (found some on Amazon for $80 each) and a furbo or some other interior camera that you can monitor them from. This recently saved us when we couldn’t find anyone to watch the cats for a weekend (obviously wouldn’t recommend any longer than 3-4 days max). We left out bowls of water all over the house in case any spilled and were able to feed them on their regular schedule directly from our phones. And we monitored the food to make sure it was working etc using the camera.

Thanks for sharing your experience!!

Super helpful; thanks :)

Great idea!! Is this a common request she receives?

Great idea! Thanks for the idea- I’ll try to find the post.

Totally, but it’s nice to imagine at this point 😜

Thank you for your response! Those disruptions do not sound fun

Thank you!! Love hearing other’s experiences :) What type of projects were you able to tackle on your own? And can I ask what your rough contracting costs were?

Another floor addition/roof deck!

This is a great response, thank you! From your experience, are you able to share your guesstimate for cost of a 2-level 10 ft extension and a pop up master suite that includes a small roof deck? I know materials etc would make it vary, but structurally?

To be fair, you won’t find much cheaper in that area. The balance is more for heavy lifters and not class-focused.
