That’s exactly what we just started doing. Dh said he wanted to deadbolt our door to the garage so we do that each night now. Our cars stay in the garage at all times so no one would be able to get our garage door opener unless they broke into our garage. We never leave the garage door open unless we’re doing yard work and can see anyone that goes by
I want to put our cars in the garage, but every time DH cleans it out, he puts more stuff in it.
First it was goose decoys. Then he built a giant workbench that fills up an entire garage bay, so everything else has to go in the other side. Now he has baby chicks caged out there until they are big enough to fit in the coop. We have plans to put up a detached garage, but he hasn't started working towards them yet, so I don't expect it to happen this year.
He grew up without an attached garage, so he doesn't really understand the concept of putting cars in one year round. He only lived in two houses growing up and one didn't have a garage at all. The house his parents live in now has an outbuilding, but they only use it for their cars when the weather gets really bad. We've been in this house for 2.5 years and I've only been able to park in the garage for a few months one winter. He basically uses it as a barn....
Yeah--I grew up in the woods in CT but generally I feel safer in a neighborhood with neighbors all around. Until recently
I hear you. Teenage boys with nothing to do is a disaster in the making.
Last week I took dd's garage door openers and put them in her center console since she parks outside.
And I think this home security system is making me paranoid!
There's definitely a downside to the immediate notice home security systems. Most people probably don't need to know what is going on around their house that badly.
The 48 month rule was not in effect when you got your card, which is why you didn't know about it
It used to be 24 months, but that changed last year.
Yeah....I looked that up. The timing just barely locked me out from it, which is annoying, but oh well. It does mean that I either have to give up on a Sapphire card for this round of travel, or only open 4 new cards in the next 18 months, so I have the slot open in January 2022.
I probably really need to convince DH to let me churn in his name, or suck up paying out of pocket for the lion's share of our travel.
He's Army so whether or not he can go is very up in the air right now. He's leaning toward waiting to go on a trip post-deployment. I think I'm going to leave my ADR for 4, then I'll cancel if he's with us most likely. While he can certainly be on his own, the mom in me wants to spend all the time with him that I can
My Mom is the same way. My kids are all still young enough that they pretty much have to go where I tell them to go!
I wouldn't count on him being able to come. I expect getting leave authorized from the military will be very difficult for at least another year. Then they'll likely be prioritizing leave for people who are returning from deployments, PCSing or other non-leisure leave. When he gets back from deployment, he'll have a lot more leverage towards getting leave authorized. Even then, they can restrict where he is allowed to go.
I'm just glad they didn't recall my husband to active duty. He got an email about the possibility in March.
beware of cool little gas stations built into the rock cliffs and turns that are easy to overlook
