The Importance of Proper Drainage: Protecting Your Home’s Foundation

Proper drainage is essential for maintaining the integrity of your home’s foundation. Without an effective system to direct water away from your property, moisture can accumulate, leading to soil erosion, cracks in walls, and even basement flooding. Over time, these issues weaken the foundation, causing costly structural damage. By understanding the importance of managing surface and subsurface water, homeowners can take proactive steps to prevent water-related problems and protect their investments.

In this guide, we explore the key components of a well-functioning drainage system, the warning signs of poor drainage, and practical solutions to mitigate risks. From landscaping adjustments to professional waterproofing services, implementing the right drainage strategies ensures long-term stability and prevents mold growth, pest infestations, and moisture-related deterioration. Whether you’re already experiencing water damage or looking for preventive measures, this resource will help you safeguard your home’s foundation effectively.

OH, THE CLONED HUMANITY!!

He was too young, too beautiful for this life. Like a candle in a blimp…

We must be strong in his memory and welcome his replacements:

I love the cartoon about the angsty teenage clones being raised by an amoral scientist and his doting robot assistant.

thinking about stan's toxic waste heist where he got 300 gallons to the shack in an hour (and getting at least 9 barrels inside in 15 minutes) and then got an hour of sleep at most before facing the rest of nwhs and tots back to back

but also stan having to steal waste frequently during those past few weeks + ford doing the same and being all "well actually i can justify this pretty easily! the government doesn't properly dispose of them anyway!!!😤" *leaves the remnants out on his porch*

i am pretty sad the "don't play dumb, pines" reaction was changed from stan pretending he has no idea what fission is to him simply pretending he has no idea about the waste heist though

Look what I've found on Twitter... Ekko the Boy Saviour himself (Reed Shannon) supporting jayvik and tweeting that it's "canon".

Unfortunately while most people loved it, similarly to Toks (Mel's VA) he is also getting insulted by some toxic people for making a tweet/liking a ship.

It’s before Ethiopia and Bruce has asked for Dick’s help on a magic user case. Both of them get de-aged to 14/15.

So, we get Jason, who is more confident about his relationship with Bruce than he had been at 12, but was starting to get benched more often. Dick, who knows about Batman and Robin but doesn’t know Jason is adopted OR Robin. And teenage Bruce’s non-verbal ass who doesn’t know any of this. And poor Alfred, now looking after 3 teenagers with anger issues.

So Jason is the only one besides Alfred of any real understanding of what happened. Dick is trying to treat the situation like his first solo case without Batman since Bruce doesn’t know who either of them are, and Alfred is struggling to explain taking in two children Bruce’s age, and vigilantism, and magic.

After the boys prove they’re willing to do something incredibly dangerous without telling Alfred, he gives up and calls Clark. He’s the easiest way to convince Bruce he’s telling the truth about the world and will call in the Justice League to handle the magic user. Dick and Jason are pissed but Clark and Diana are there, so it’s not as bad as it could be.

There are too many people and Bruce is struggling the most to figure out how to act and for someone already non-talkative it’s even worse. He finds Diana waiting for him in his favorite quiet spot. Neither of them say anything for a long time. Eventually, Bruce breaks first and the two talk about what kind of person he becomes, how highly regarded he is in superhero circles and Gotham for being Batman and Bruce Wayne. But secretly, he’s most concerned about just being Bruce. About the two boys in his house that he’s a father to.

Dick and Jason really have it out. And sure, Dick’s skills surpass Jason’s at this age because he’s been an acrobat all his life, but Jason puts up a fight that’s dirty and mean and desperate. They clash badly and it’s brutal. Jason admits to not knowing about where the name Robin came from and Dick admits he’s not adopted. Dick starts to understand that Jason thinks Bruce only took him in so he could be Robin. And Jason starts to grapple with the fact he replaced Dick and took his family from him. They’re both miserable but they’re also both avoiding Bruce.

He’s made it clear he doesn’t want to talk to them and as the person who has the least understanding of what’s going on, they’ve been trying not to overwhelm him. Because they’re both pretty good at reading adult Bruce and this kid version looks like he’s gonna take off running at any minute.

Jason tries keeping to himself by reading in the library and Dick tries to stay in the cave but gets pushed out by the Justice League and has to do his workouts in the home gym. Bruce tries to stay in the kitchen with Alfred, who asks him to bring the other boys lunch and to try speaking with them for a few minutes.

Bruce asks Jason what he’s reading and is struck by how earnest he is, even if he’s defensive. It’s more honest than any of the other kids he goes to school with, who are concerned only with appearances and money. Bruce tells him what they’re covering in his own classes and Jason asks if any of the teachers are the same. Jason calls one old woman who was old when Bruce knew her a crone and it startles a laugh out of him. Jason thinks that maybe they’ll be okay.

Bruce finds Dick in the gym and watches him for a while. He startles him on accident and Dick lands on his ankle wrong. There’s a first aid kit in the gym so Bruce hands it to him and asks how he can help. Dick is surprised that Bruce knows this level of first aid this young and he admits to thinking about medical school and following his father’s footsteps.

Bruce is struck by how unlike other people Dick and Jason are. That if he had met them now, he’d like to think they’d have become friends. How they would have liked Harvey.

When the spell is reversed, Dick and Jason have a long talk about what it is to be brothers. Bruce and Jason talk about their relationship as being different from Batman and Robin. Bruce adopts Dick and they discuss his independence with a lot less yelling than normal.

It is both funny and frustrating to me how predictable my unpredictability is becoming.

"but donald forced them to eat pellets!" first of all, they seemed to enjoy the pellets while they had them, and guys...they probably continued to eat those pellets long after tasha and leo entered the picture. those bionics (especially adam and bree's) probably burn a lot of calories. their metabolisms are probably super high. the protein pellets were probably engineered specifically to provide enough nutrients and protein for them to grow and function well. yeah, real food is fun and tastes better, but in addition to not shocking their digestive systems, those pellets were probably essential supplements to ensure they were eating enough. and, since donald invented them himself, they're not buying suspicious amounts of food, either. it helps that the kids seem to enjoy them, though (they all cheered when donald brought up protein pellet smoothies in rats on a train)

Good Call; Close One, Even!

Ford refused to hold back upon realizing that Fidds was actually fighting to win and not just bluffing. They were both in their animal forms throughout the fight, and dealt plenty of damage to each other.

Fidds landed false bites on Ford's neck and along his back, along with some claws marks on Ford's stomach. Fidds also- somehow -managed to dislocate Ford's left hip, rendering him practically lame and unable to fight in his wolf form.

Ford, meanwhile, was only able to break Fidds' left arm and twist Fidds' right ankle. I like to think that Fidds- being a former hog farmer -is used to broken bones and twisted ankles, so it doesn't bother him during battle the way it would Ford, not to mention their differences in body structure; Fidds wouldn't be putting any excessive pressure on either injury for too long.

Afterwards, the two stood a good distance from each other and waited for Kaylee to arrive. Tate and Soos weren't far behind, and I think we can all guess who they ran to first.

"why are you so worried abt random accidents, stuff like that rarely ever happens" well you see I'm too disabled to ever evacuate a situation on my own, so I'd rather be a safety advocate now than become a statistic later

Omg LOVE the new icon lmao Hale pack represent!

Thank you ^-^

If I had virtually any free time left I would have already made myself a Hale Pack GIF as a new header too, but GIF making is so time consuming and so is work, unfortunately :(
