Meet the Whynter Portable Air Conditioner & Dehumidifier which is replacing my HVAC system that was struck by lightening. If you lose air conditioning you might not get it replaced quickly and this may be an option you want to look into. It’s 86 in Austin today; a bit hot. Also, I experience hangry, and…
Our house got struck or affected by lightning yesterday in the storm and it burned the HVAC control and the internet. We spent this morning at ThoroughFare for internet so my husband could contact repair companies. Excellent everything . All 3 of us approved. I was hot and hungry so not as thorough as I…
The featured image is of an old oak changing table that was in a church restroom. The pad was torn. The wood was beat up oak. The knobs were rose pink and from the 80s. It was sturdy, but a bit off putting to look at. In an effort to update the site and amenities,…
The Buy Nothing Give that didn’t happen. I posted this garment bag as a Give. It was up for several weeks with no takers. After holding onto it for 25 years you’d think I’d have more patience but I was on a kick getting rid of things (I reduced my clothing where I could fit…
There are usually a few golf bags, some with clubs, at the local thrift store. I’m not sure how quickly those move along. I reached out to First Tee through their Contact Us page while clearing clutter at a client’s home. Here’s what I sent: We have the following golf equipment items: clubs, bags, travel…
I’m on the mailing list for Ethical Society of Austin. I was so excited to see them have an adult coat drive to support LifeWorks when it was cold. The timing was with God. I have a declutter client who was a collector. Name a category of items and he probably collected it. We pulled…
My Buy Nothing Win this week is 2 pound hand weights! Here’s my post: Ask: 2 lb hand weights for rehab. I’m hoping to graduate from 1 to 2 quickly.🫳 Thanks! I have what my chiropractor calls tennis elbow but which I am calling zero waste elbow. It’s from moving furniture around for pickups to…
I’m wearing a 4ocean 100% organic cotton hoodie (there is a discount link below). Most sweatshirts are polyester (plastic) or they’re a cotton-poly blend so if you buy a new sweatshirt or a used/thrifted one be aware of that material content. Unfortunately most fundraisers are using cotton poly blends probably because they’re cheaper. Even environmental…
I cover all the R’s here and Repair is one of them. This particular featured image is where a soap dispenser used to be. It was caked in soap underneath which was an exercise in acrobatics to fit under the sink and clean that! That was not a good spot for a garbage disposal! There…
If you support something with color, don’t forget to layer. I had a school field trip (red) on the same day as a Thursday in Black, and it was cold. I chose to layer shirts, but I could have also used my Thursdays in Black button or scarf to have my black on. Thursdays in…
