Hi neighbors, I’m embarking on a full back yard reno. I want a start to finish company who will do design, clearing, hardscape install and planting - the whole shebang. I would like to get a few quotes/advice from folks that have experience in our area and are familiar with the city of Decatur (permitting, etc).

I would greatly appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

My Japanese Maple appears to be losing its leaves. They are not turning and falling as the season changes, but instead seem to be dying. Some appear to be being eaten, and there are white spots that begin at the leaf point. If anyone is able to diagnose, and let me know how to treat, I would appreciate it. Zone 8, so still a while before leaves begin to turn here. Apologies, but this sub only allows me to post one photo and I cannot show the leaf detail and and the whole tree in a single photo.

I want to replace the attic stairs in my house. They came with the house and are quite old. I get nervous any time my husband climbs them, and with extreme temps, I think we could really benefit from getting an insulated version to prevent air leakage.

I looked up all the requirements in my area and they are all pretty straight forward except for how thick the insulation should be. In my area it says ceilings from conditioned to unconditioned spaces need R60 insulation. The problem is that I can’t find any attic stairs for sale that even come close to that. Highest I can find is R15.

So here is my question - if most of the country requires high R value insulation in ceilings/attic spaces,

I’ve had a rough go of it with sema (nausea), but I’ve been sticking it out because I’m almost at my goal weight.

Had my shot last Wednesday and had the misfortune of testing positive for covid on Thursday. It has been horrible. I’ve had absolutely zero appetite, and what I’ve been able to eat, a lot of it has come back up due to nausea and excess acid. I’ve gotten some zofran and today I’ve been able to hydrate and get some food down, but it’s not nearly enough. Every bite is a struggle and I am forcing myself to eat because I know that if I don’t, the stomach acid/nausea cycle will continue. I know the covid complicates it, but I feel like the higher dosage has literally turned off my bra

I travel for work and often stay at The Westin Chicago Northwest. The property is somewhat dated but overall well maintained and run. The building is 12 stories, with a large lobby that goes up to the roof. Rooms are located off a walkway that surrounds the perimeter of each floor, with the center open to the lobby. The design of the property causes all of the lobby/restaurant/ bar noise to carry up to the rooms. The property clearly knows this is a complaint for some because they provide earplugs on the nightstand - something I don’t experience elsewhere. Typically it’s fine and I don’t find it too bothersome.

I arrived this week to find that they have started renovation on several guest f

I used to love JJs. Long before delivery apps, they got me through many busy work days with quick service and a reliable product. Things have been dicey since the pandemic. I get it, it’s a tough labor market.

I recently moved and there is a JJs that delivers to my house. Great, I thought. Not so much. They are ungodly slow. I’m talking 1h+ at off peak times.

Today at 2pm I decided to order via door dash. I assumed that an actual door dash driver would pick up my order, alleviating my main issue of slow delivery. 40mins went by and JJs was still “preparing my order” on the app. Wtf. 20 mins later - so an hour after my order, my door dash account alerted me that my order had been delivered

Hello, I’ve recently moved to the area and I’m interested in a gym or studio that offers personal training. I’ve been active my whole life but I’ve suffered a long illness and need to build my confidence. I see that the local YMCA offers one on one training, but I would like to know if anyone could share their experience or if there are other suggestions. Thank you!

I had no idea this sub existed, but most of Reddit is blacked out, i can’t sleep, and I’m thrilled to have found you.

I feel a disproportionate amount of rage about pink sugar. I wish I could explain it. It doesn’t taste that bad, but it’s just there every week. Crumbl is about new flavors. Not pink sugar on repeat. I remember it first appeared in October because I was like “guess this breast cancer cookie is here for a month.” But no it stayed. I don’t understand. They keep it at the bottom of the list like they are hiding from you that their 5th rotating flavor doesn’t actually rotate.

Wow. I’m probably 65% through the episode but THIS IS SO BAD! I’m seriously questioning how high I am, because surely it cant be this boring. It is like they are all acting in a cheaply made teen movie.
