Good Lourd!

Another vote for tape and mud, or one of those "big hole repair" kits from the hardware store.

As others have said, your base is fine. Shed away!

Or delayed congratifications depending.

If you’re insurance pays then your premiums go up or worst case you get cancelled.

Is that wallpaper?
Def an appliqué of some sort.
You have to either remove/replace or find a spot that has that color/texture and is hidden from view, cut out a section big enough to cover the burn, peel it off, lay it over the burn, cut out the burn part through both pieces, remove the overlay, remove the burned section, replace with overlay.

10” is too tall for just sand. You will need a retaining wall (1 course plus cap blocks should do), then fill and level (string level with proper slope markings) with aggregate (abc, crusher run, etc). Vibrating plate compactor on that to get it tight. Then 1-2” max of sand. Lay down edgers to retain the bricks where there is no wall. Level the sand and lay your bricks/pavers. Plate compactor over that to bed them in. Then I would use polymer sand to fill the gaps. You can use paver sand (different than bedding sand) to lock them in, but polymeric sand keeps the weeds at bay and less maintenance over time.

Don’t worry darling, you’ll be ok soon enough.
Brightwood seems like a clearing house for psychopaths. I’m just wondering where they get all the “cattle” from.

Isn't this already a meme from like 6 years ago?

You'll never get rid of wood on wood movement 100% unless you glue the crap out of everything, but it is worth a try to give it a few screws here and there.

I’ve always used soap on all wood to wood contact points, but your wax should do similarly.

There's a lot to unpack here. Having a go puts one in a most vulnerable position against predators. Fight or flight turns into shit or git.

The place has to have some cameras that can help you prove innocence, right?

underrated comment.

Dangit Frank! Why you not learn mind-block before all of this?
Now Jeff-minion is all upins.

It ain’t easy being green

Those people embodied the “American Tourist” type that are a plague to all.

By the power of Greyskull!!!

Oops, wrong toon.

Hooooooo!

Don’t move. Can you make sound?

Friggin government messing about with eldritch technologies. Smdh.

Botulism toxin poisoning in that soup.

“Nut milk” is always funny

Wikihow now does videos?

Yup…South of the Border… of NC. Lol.
I haven’t been there since the 70s when just about every roadside attraction sold fireworks and paraphernalia. Great combination that.

Yep. Delicious. Only way I do corn. (Except maybe also in the husk, but can’t get butter in there unless you deconstruct first.)

Add Queso Fresco and a bit of lime from the finishing touch.

Mexican street corn right there. Love it.

Bloody hell Sarah, your parents are six ways to fucked up. I hope this gets sorted and justice prevails here. Poor Michael. Omg.
