Thanks for the updates and feedback. There was a spike in server usage earlier today, but besides that things have looked fine. We're still trying to figure out what could be going on. It's tricky when the issues are so inconsistent!

Agreed!

Thanks! It's SUPER weird since the sister-sites are all hosted on the same server, same software, etc... so it's been tricky to find the cause. We'll keep digging!

We're looking into all the things that might be causing the sites to load slowly for people. We've made a few changes that will hopefully help, but since the site remains fast for some, it's been tricky to track down the items that are user-specific vs. site-wide. If you notice things improving...

Thanks for the great discussion. Please keep posting as much info as possible (device type, browser version, screenshots, etc.) That is helpful, thank you! Are there any other options or screens to tell you more info about what specifically is the problem? What is the name of the antivirus app...

Interesting idea. Not sure it's possible, but we'll keep an eye out.

Can you help us know what specific things you are having a problem with? That will help us with either changing things here or the other sites.

... and we're back! Things will look a little different, but hopefully it will be easy to get a good new feel for things and you'll notice some fun new goodies! ;)

Ya, most things will be the same :) Ok, we're a little late, but hopefully going to start with in the next hour

Hey All! It's time for us to finally upgrade our forum software to the newest version. The new version comes with some new features, better performance, more security, etc! We're hoping downtime will be VERY limited... hopefully not more than an hour or two. That said, it's hard to know...

4/21/2020, A VERY sad update: We're very sorry to say that our beautiful friend and amazing soul Sumi passed away 3 pm Irish time. It was peaceful and pain free. As some of you may know, our beloved moderator Sumi went missing a few weeks ago. About a dozen of us were frantically working to...

Well, the $5,500 guy lowered his bid because: 1) We live on a private unpaved road, so his costs to repair the road went down 2) He was between projects and if I could get him in next week he'd do it for cheaper. Due to this, he offered to do it for $4,500. My brother had a good point that...

The lowest bid I've received is $5,500. The most recent company did a camera / video of the line and said it actually doesn't look terrible except for the root entry at various points in the terracotta line. I'm very tempted to just pay to have the line rooted / snaked each year (regardless of...

Good points. I'm going to get a few different bids. Hopefully I can find something a little less expensive than $8,600!!

Ugh, I got lazy and paid the price (which was $70) :( I kept putting off doing more treatments. I kept thinking "oh, I'll do it when the roots are growing during the Spring" or "I'll do it after the roots have grown"... etc. So, the roots grew and the line backed up yesterday. I had to call out...

Welcome! Looking forward to your posts :)

About 8 years ago I purchased the home I grew up in from my mom... and it hasn't changed much in 40 years. I finally stated making some progress and had the main bathroom remodeled. Before and after pics: BEFORE: AFTER:
