If I was twenty years younger I'd tell them women I got something that will make 'em happy. I was a terrible liar twenty years ago.

I used to fabricate draperies.
I would daresay I have hung more window treatments in the last year than you have in your entire life.

Then of course you have to start decide on who to use? Lowest bidder? Cutest salesman? The fastest talker?

Of course none of that has anything to do with what you actually need but you knew that because you knew you need a load calculation so that you can determine the proper HVAC unit for your application.

Oh no, don't tell me you fell for the 1 ton per 400 sq ft nonsense.

You do know what a ton of refrigeration is, right?

Instead the reverse is true. The more feminism gains, the more women lose. Women are becoming increasingly more miserable with every nail in the coffin of the patriarchy that once protected them. Read the data: The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness.
Oh, just give them more free condoms, that should keep them happy!!!

LOL. Right. I don't go needless hanging drapery (or tapestries) just for the fun of it.

If you get a wild hair one day go to your favorite big box store and strike up a conversation with some of the people looking at pre-built furniture or curtains or shelving.

You may be in a better place though. I am in liberal safe-haven Appalachia.

Considering most MEN have not a clue about HVAC i think you are reaching . I have enough street sense to known when i'm getting thrown a snow job my friend. And no place i've ever called for repairs charged for estimates so those 300 dollar bills don't exist .

Why on earth would I hang drapes for the fun of it?
I'm an interior designer, I pay myself quite well for it.
I dont do "big box" furniture or drapes.

You did that all on your own? I'm proud of kshe95girl.

Did you check the voltage of the battery on the tractor?

I hope you checked in with the county to get a permit for that shed. You can't just build a structure on your property (thanks to control freak libs)?

Reno'd the MB? Awesome. You obviously know 'ish rolls down hill. The rest is all a few weekends of HGTV.

Please, my husband is a mechanical engineer, he knows how to fix it, but why would he?
He knows when to call a professional.
