We had the roof replaced two years ago. I believe they redid all the flashing at that point. So there's a chance this could be old? If the leak is resolved, which I'll verify, do we have to do anything to the wood or are we good?

    I am lucky. I had no idea this was going on back here. Here's the back of the scorched cabinet.

    And here is my new cap job.

    I'm going to cover it with a plate and cut a hole in the melamine just as you suggested.

    The blue box is one of those kind that is supposed to latch into the drywall, but the melamine is cut too tight for that to have ever worked so it's just busted out when I pulled on cabinet.

    I had an older model watch that required a chest strap before that. I think it was my old Pebble. The way I tested was I wore the two watches at the same time and pulled the chest strap data from the older watch and compared it to the wrist monitor data from the new one. I couldn't see any meaningful difference over about a week of running, so I happily gave up the chest strap.

    I need a small amount of joint compound for random drywall repairs. Is there any real difference between different brands? Do any of them last longer than others after they have been opened? Any other considerations with knowing? Since I don't need a lot I don't mind spending a few extra bucks, but I'd like to know if it's actually worth it.

     

    When our first child learned to use the potty we used diapers during naps and overnight. The nap diapers faded after a month or so, but the overnight diapers took like a year. What's worse is that he started pooping only when he had the diaper on, usually in the morning before getting out of bed. This was... not ideal.

    I imagine that if we just ditch the diapers entirely then we would have a few days of wetting the bed, but maybe that's worth it? Or does it become a persistent problem? Or does bed wetting at this stage create unexpected problems? Any experience or advice would be great!
