Okay. Today’s the day I try to restore power to the garage (and replace a shorting light switch in the basement because two birds one stone). It’s a reasonable temperature outside today so it won’t kill me to have the ac off for a while given I cut the main under an over abundance of caution to not be electrocuted. Going now to buy new breakers...
Wish me luck!

Usually, a roof may need repairing if a homeowner can spot mould or watermarks on the ceiling or cracked, peaked, creased, or pulling-up roofing material. Is the roofing 15 years or older? It may be time to replace the old roof.

Hii, how are you? I hope you're well. I love your writing! Could I request something about the reader sheepishly asking Neighbour!Simon to fix something for them? Maybe their sink or shower or whatever? I feel like he'd enjoy it, it would make him feel useful/needed somehow.
Hello!! Thank you so much, this is such a cute request! I was actually thinking about this a while back, because I definitely feel like Neighbor!Simon is a handyman at heart.
This is partly because... well, he has to be, right? I think everyone who lives on their own probably has to have some form of basic handywork experience, just to do simple repairs around the place when things break or whatnot. But also, I think he genuinely enjoys doing DIY things like repairs, so I'd imagine he's pretty good at a variety of things. Sink leaking? He can handle it. Roof need patched? He's on it. Furnace not working? He'll be back in a second with a toolbox. He's so used to destroying things with his hands, I think he'd like the opportunity to fix things with them instead.
And if you come by and shyly ask him to fix something around the house for you? Well, he's certainly not going to say no (Not that he would say no to just about anything you asked in the first place - even from the start, as soon as you catch his eye, he's willing to do whatever you want with little question). He'll follow you back, have you tell him what's going on, and quietly get to work. He doesn't need anything in return or as thanks, but if you offer to make him dinner, he definitely won't turn you down. Provided you have dinner with him, that is.
You're incredibly correct in that it makes him feel needed. Like he has a purpose other than being a machine on some battlefield somewhere. I don't know that he'd be able to put it quite into words, but it definitely makes him feel useful in a constructive, positive way.
I think this goes double when it comes to you. Sure, he likes to feel useful in a way that isn't destructive and violent, but I think feeling useful to you is a separate category on its own. Like, he wants to feel needed in general, but when it comes to you, he needs to feel needed.
(Side note: I also think he'd be super into woodworking as well, but that's a different tangent)

Well, this one's on the market again. 1969 4bd, 4.5ba dome in Killington, VT needs some work. Shingles are falling off the roof and some windows need attention, but the inside is kind of spacy, so if you like that look, you'll like this home. $397K. Killington is a very popular ski resort area, so you can always rent it out.
Tumblr media
The Hobbit door is cute, but the floor is really worn.
Tumblr media
Nice little entrance foyer before you enter the living area.
Tumblr media
It's cute. Take the stairs in the tower up, and the fire pole down.
Tumblr media
The carpet has holes right thru to the floor, so it needs replacing. Weird little corner stairs.
Tumblr media
So here in this area there's a swing and I don't know why they have a ladder going up that cabinet.
Tumblr media
The living room is pretty spacious. It has rustic poles and beams, which is odd for a space ship motif. I don't know if the windows are frosted or just dirty.
Tumblr media
There's a central round fireplace, but it looks like a DIY. The carpet looks glued to cement flooring, so replacing it is a big expense.
Tumblr media
The next space is the kitchen.
Tumblr media
The dining area has a DIY chandelier made of green bottles.
Tumblr media
The kitchen is nice in crisp blue and white. Looks to be in good shape.
Tumblr media
The washer/dryer is located in the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Working our way around, we're coming to a game room. Geez, this carpet. How did it deteriorate like that? Is it from moisture? Maybe dry rot?
Tumblr media
This is a flex space.
Tumblr media
And, this space looks like an extension of the kitchen, like maybe a pantry, but it's more of a utility area right now. I would put the w/d in here.
Tumblr media
The doors in the blue thing open to a bathroom, and the door across the way is a sauna.
Tumblr media
The bath.
Tumblr media
The sauna.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, we're on the 2nd level in the bedrooms. This looks like the primary. Has room for a little sitting area.
Tumblr media
Funky retro 1/2 bath with cool blue fixtures and another rotted carpet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The second bedroom has a sink, for some reason, and note the heater. That would indicate that the room is cold.
Tumblr media
Oh, here we go. This bedroom has the missing glass, the windows are covered with wood pieces.
Tumblr media
Here we are on the mezzanine overlooking the ugly utility area. The stairs in that tower actually go up to a 3rd level. We can see that the ceiling needs repair.
Tumblr media
It's unfinished up here and looks like it needs repair.
Tumblr media
Why would they cut the wall there? They were doing some work up here, but it doesn't look like they got very far.
Tumblr media
Looking down you can see the top of the fireplace chained for stability. Maybe when it's windy, it shakes?
Tumblr media
The home is on almost an acre of land, at .95 acre.

I PROCLAIM A SALE!
Prints. Bookplates. Journals. Sketchbooks. PATCHES. Planners. COMMISSIONS?! Fandom. Queer shit. How-to for making your OWN books. Books for your spells, recipes, fanwork, and next great novel. It’s ALL going on sale.
Quick info: - sale lasts through Jan 23, 2023 - go to https://ko-fi.com/ajollyyarn - COUPON FOR IN-STOCK INVENTORY: 30N2023 - COUPON FOR COMMISSIONS: 30OFF2023 - ko-fi tips and memberships are also open, but not discounted
Literally all inventory and all commissions, including things previously discounted, are included. I’ve never run a sale (that I remember) this big, or with such a big discount.
Commissions? You want? I will make prints, books, books with prints, planners, custom bookplates, bookmarks, you contact me about it, you got it. If it’s not already in the commission section, just reach out to me. I want to talk. Commissions are fun and I already frankly undercharge for them. Plus there’s now a DISCOUNT.
Why am I doing this? Real talk? Only for you, tumblr.
See, I had to get some very expensive medical tests done that I am required to pay off in a very short amount of time, because what they are and how American health insurance isn’t helping me. I have more major medical procedures likely coming up, and I’m currently in physical therapy. None of that is cheap, and the physical therapy is interfering a little with my other, already part-time, job.
Also, this week some “someday I’ll fix it” problems with our house became “no, this needs fixed ASAP actually” problems. Our roof needs replaced and some other repairs, and a door needs replaced. Again, all expensive, often requiring up-front or upon-delivery payment, and it’s the beginning of winter here.
I am looking for another job, but that process takes time. So we’re doing a BIG SALE! 30% OFF! WOOO!
eta: I’m sorry, I only do shipping within the US since I moved off of etsy. There is a DIY bookbinding PDF available, and I could do PDF commissions if you’re outside the US and interested in something.
Check it out! Spread it around! Tell your friends and your mom!

Thanks to having the best brother EVER, roughly a month ago I was finally able to get myself an RV. Before buying her, I was told that her generator needed a new fuel pump and that she had some previous water damage, but that they had resealed the roof so it wouldn’t be a continuing problem. Aside from that, she wasn’t supposed to have any issues. It appears that their idea of resealing the roof involved silicone caulk, and some seal tape around the edges. ***FYI: pic 6 is a PERFECT example of what NOT to do. If you want to do a ‘quick patch’ [which will NOT hold long term or prevent worsening damage from existing water seepage, and appears to be what they tried to do] there should be AT LEAST 2-3 more rows of tape, with the edges overlapping by at least 1/3 the width of the tape.*** While at first I thought it was just the bedroom that would need a full gut and rebuild, I’m starting to notice mold all around the border of the ceiling throughout the RV. I’ve started the gut & rebuild from the bedroom in the back with plans to work forward one room portion at a time, rebuilding any rotted/rotting roof and structural portions along the way as funds become available. On top of that, I have to replace the busted water heater, find and repair the propane leak, find and fix the clog & leak in the outgoing plumbing system [might just fk around and replace it all], replace the steps… While I’m at it I figure I may as well replace my sink & faucet with something of a usable depth, rather than the 6ish” deep split basin that could only possibly be convenient for bathing VERY small animals. There’s a TON of work to be done and skills to be gained, but you damnwell bet I’m gonna get it done! If anyone has the means and desire to assist in the financial burdens associated with these repairs, check out the linktree in my profile [and hit my dm’s for a ‘thank you’]!! 🥰😘 #rvlife #rvhomerepair #rvhomerenovation #doitmydamnself #diy #doitrightordontdoitatall #chickswithtattos #chickswithpowertools #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVuwPzuFUA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Moving on
19-06-2023
It's official: I'll be heading to Te Waipounamu, Aotearoa's South island, in two weeks! I've booked a spot on the Bluebridge ferry that will take me and Elrond across Raukawa Moana, from Te Whanganui-a-tara to Waitohi. I'm not sure where I'll be going from there, and I don't intend to make plans. It will be just me and the road, which is both extremely exciting and a little daunting.
In the meantime I've been working on Elrond. I had a small list of repairs and improvements that grew bigger with every hatch I lifted. Whenever I fixed a minor thing, I discovered at least two more problem areas. For example, the brakes had felt a little off in the test ride, so my friend and I jacked up the car and leaked excess air out of the brake fluid. When testing the brakes again after that they felt better, but we discovered the parking brake pads were worn out, and during another brake test the bed fell over and broke. I found out the solar panel was actually not giving any charge at all, and the head unit needed professional replacement instead of the backyard DIY job I had hoped it would be. Brought the car to a car electrician (colloquially known as an 'auto sparky'), who proceeded take two full weeks to install the head unit and fix a headlight I wasn't aware needed fixing, then discovered the internal speakers were blown, replaced them, but in the process broke the plastic door covers. It's an exhausting and sometimes quite frustrating process, but I do feel like I'm getting to know Elrond inside and out through it. By now I've installed a new solar panel on the roof and have almost finished fixing the bed. After that there's only some minor repairs left that can be pushed back to a later date (and a cheaper town). I'm very excited to finally get to turn it into my own little home for the next however many months!
If you're wondering how you glue a solar panel to the top of a van, this was our method:
Tumblr media
Today I took Elrond up to Petone, where I stocked up on goodies for the upcoming trip in The Dutch Shop, which offers a delightful hit of nostalgia:
Tumblr media
I drove there all alone, and I feel like I'm rapidly growing more and more confident on the road, which I'm frankly really proud of. I'm still nervous to get behind the wheel (I do believe my driving instructor did a real number on me in that regard), but it's getting a lot better already. Driving on the left feels like second nature now, and it really helps that there aren't nearly as many bikes on the road here as at home. Don't get me wrong, I will never bash a bike-friendly traffic situation, but for somebody who easily gets stressed out and overwhelmed while driving this is quite a relief. I still took wrong turns at least three times in the span of ten minutes, but it's nice to find that that's easily solved by calmly making a turn somewhere and getting back on track. There's nobody next to me now to tell me that was wrong, or dumb, or a waste of time. It's just me and the huge pink teddy bear I bought to be my travel buddy, and he's real chill! (Will get a better photo soon, also jury's still out on a name, my inbox is open for suggestions xxx)
Tumblr media
In other news, I have moved back into my friends' house for the remainder of my stay in Te Whanganui-a-tara. As I described in an earlier post, the house I was in wasn't great. Things reached a bit of a boiling point for me when I was violently woken up by our elderly neighbour banging her fists on my window in the morning because my housemate had parked his car in front of her driveway and she couldn't leave for work. Combine that with the unsettling amount of strangers he would let into the house, the absolute inability of everybody else to do any cleaning whatsoever and the unrelenting noises in the middle of the night, and you'll understand why I decided to stop waiting for the van to be ready and just put the room up for grabs on Facebook. It took a couple of weeks but I found a new tenant for the room. Assuming everything would be settled, I packed up my stuff and left on the agreed upon date. However, the new tenant suddenly pulled out at the very last minute, leaving the house with a gap in the rent. The previously mentioned housemate proceeded to bombard me with aggressive messages and e-mails, insisting I continue paying rent for a room I was no longer inhabiting, or there would be legal consequences. This was both hilarious, because the property manager of the house had been so neglectful as to never send me a contract during the past 2 months so there isn't a single legal document with my signature on it, and very uncomfortable, because I'm not used to confrontation. My friend was kind enough to take my phone from me and message him to, and I quote, "fuck off". I don't think I've ever said that to anyone and meant it, so it was quite the experience to get away with it. Luckily the other housemates were very understanding and agreed I didn't have to pay anything, and wished me fun on my trip. I'm glad to be out of there, and still a bit shaken. This is the second time in four months I've had to stand up for myself and be met with such aggression, and it's unpleasant. But I'm sure it'll leave me more equipped for the next time.
As a fun finish to this post, here's a video of one of Te Whanganui-a-tara's many spectacular "water features", aka broken pipes due to constantly shifting tectonic plates that the municipality simply cannot keep up with:
And!! My friends alerted me the other day to a pair of humpback whales that had swum into the harbour, so we went to look at them. My camera would never have been able to capture them, but luckily theirs did:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's pretty mind-blowing that this just happens on a regular day in these parts. I felt super lucky to be there and catch a glimpse of them, even if it was from a distance!
