  • Shade is everything. Tree shade is the best, because trees transpire, cooling the ground beneath them even more than shade would alone.

    Inside your house (depending on what kind of home you have), you can also take a look at your overall energy efficiency, including windows, doors, insulation in walls and attic, and weather stripping to seal all gaps



  • I’m on cheap Google Fiber. It’s been $70/mo since we first got it about 6-7 years ago. Before that, AT&T and Time Warner had a duopoly in my area, and getting to tell them to go fuck themselves was the sweetest day of my life. They are awful businesses who treat their staff and customers like shit while delivering inferior service. I’ve rarely had a problem with Google Fiber, and if there’s downtime, they give you a prorated discount. Customer service is really easy to access, also, vs waiting on hold or in person in line with the other ISPs.

    Atheist. Religion is an explanation of the world that’s made the fuck up. I think people make shit up to explain reality because accepting uncertainty is difficult, but that doesn’t make it ok. The world around you exists, just like it is. There is no special place you get to go if you follow the right set of rules .


  • If you remove and repour just the center slab, you’re going to change the pressure against the ground which is likely to cause some shifting among all the surrounding tiles. You’re definitely going to find someone willing to replace just the center tile, but if you do that you’ll almost certainly be in a position in a couple years where you’re looking to replace the whole thing.

    I’d save up to remove it all, and think creatively about what an entirely new patio could look like. You don’t have to replace it on its current footprint, but I can’t see enough of your space in this picture to give you any layout recommendations.
