The decking is so! close! Taking some new measurements and realizing that cob will need to be deployed to seal some gaps.

Listening to you guys on the bootcamp three part podcast is great !  Hi Mags!

The section on detergents and fragrances is great! Im so excited to come and be in a fragrance, smoke and weed free environment.
I like the smell of healthy people - thats not weird right?
- I cant handle any scented products and feel like Im being gassed when I go into most stores...

One of the things that drove me out of the city was that I had a neighbor  whos weed smoke would drift over my fence - which I hated,
but the final straw came from the fragranced drier sheets - I was picking broccoli... and realized my broccoli smelled like dryer sheets...

So close!! 🙏
Dez came up with the name... can’t remember which person named gomer it’s after? Paul says Gomer Pyle. We name pretty much everything and Paul asked us to name all 4 fridges. We have: Gomer fridge, Bullet Fridge, Campbell Fridge, and Bill Murray fridge :)

Oh no!! 😭 hopefully it didn’t also taste like dryer sheets. Most people don’t realize how saturated their environment is with all these scents until they’ve gone without for a while.. then there’s no going back for most.

Looking forward to meeting you when you come in January to be a sepper 🙂

I can only hope none of them are as 'incontinent' as Geezer, our aging Frigidaire.  Tech repair sez it's all due to the combination of our high humidity summers and a frost-free freezer drain line that clogs, spilling the defrost melt onto the floor of the main compartment.   Ultimately, Geez 'relieves himself' on our kitchen floor each time the door is opened!  :-/   Engineering fail #3,564......  but we do mop the floor more often! :-)

Meant to ask, what kind of surface will be covering the decking boards on the solarium?

Edited also to (palm to forehead) add apologies about any hijacking, but with T. Melville's link below, this may ring a bell someday if other's have a similar problem.....a simple fix could avert the premature conclusion that the fridge needs to be replaced.

Youtube randomly recommended this repair video to me. About two weeks later, my fridge started doing what you describe. The repair in the video was the repair that I needed. (The part in the video was too small. Mine was too, but mine was also installed about a quarter of an inch too far left, so it didn't even contact the drain line.)



Sorry for the high-jack. Hope this helps someone.
