So my partner and I purchased our first camper; a 2000 fleetwood terry 27X (28ft), and it of course had ✨️undisclosed water damage✨️ so we have had to gut almost half of it. Im moving my attention to the exterior to try and save my sanity. Anyways, the exterior is in pretty rough shape, and our original plan was to completely redo it, however our budget has now mostly gone towards clearing out interior rot; walls, frames, flooring, roof, and leak repairs. Anyway, What kind of paint would y'all recommend? It is weathered and quite chalky. The red stripe color rubs off on your hand with minimal effort. The decals are BAKED on, faded, and shattered. My plan is to use TSP substitute, decal wheel remover, and an electric sander for prep. I'm in canada for reference of product availability, and weathering. The exterior is fiberglass, but again, suuuper flat, chalky and terrible looking. I plan to use a combo of roll on, and a basic HLVP sprayer. I seem to be able to only find marine topside paint in 1 quart cans for 60$, which i would probably need like 8-10 of. Hoping for something that would still look nice, glossy, durable, but isnt 600$ in paint 🫠 i understand it wont look professional by any means, but nice is good enough! submitted by /u/Sad_Negotiation2174 to r/RVLiving [link] [comments]

AITAH for telling my husband I would divorce him if he helped his mom financially even though we have the means to do so?
My husband and I met 7yrs ago. Both of our families live in different states so I didn’t meet she mom right away. The first time I met her she came to visit and I was newly pregnant. She offered to throw us a baby shower if we made the 17hr trip to her place. We agreed and 4 months later it’s baby shower time. We get into town the day before the party and she starts asking me for 350 for a dj and a clown. I’m thinking to myself I’m already looking at the clown but let me get with your son. I informed husband I already paid for the rental cars and I can’t foot another 350 right now. I’m sure he paid to keep his mom happy. It’s her first grandkid and she’s from a different culture from me so I tried to let it go. Next trip she says she would like to get family pictures done while we are all in town and she would like it if we all match. I agreed and went all went shopping and I bought my family all matching outfits. We go home change and as we are walking out the door she looks at her phone and says, “she just text me and it’s gonna be 200 for the pictures” can you guys split it. This very much irritated me because I just spent hundreds for clothes with you watching me spend it. He also paid for that because I wasn’t splitting anything unless she’s splitting the cost of these clothes I just bought. Next trip we took his car to the shop to have something done. His mom set the appointment but I went with his sister to pick up the car and I physically swiped his credit card. She then said they charged her for 75 dollars for whatever reason. Now I feel some type of way about his mom and I’m trying to be nice about how I say it because it’s his mom. Every time I say something he tells me I have the wrong impression of his mom but I think it’s him that has the wrong impression. After this I don’t see her too much but in 22’ she says she needs him to go to her country with her. It’s a short notice trip and he wasn’t in the best position. Hadn’t been at his job long, had no vacation time, and little savings. I think his mom helped some but it wasn’t a free trip by any means. We have 2 toddlers together and just getting started in life so it’s frustrating she doesn’t take that into consideration before asking for money. Owe don’t let me forget this same year she also asked for an RV for Christmas. She said if we could afford it, it would really help her Airbnb business. That leads me to this year. He missed his mom so I decided to do something special and I invited his mom on our family vacation. Instead of being happy, she invited her guy friend to join in the vacation, in the villa I rented for all of us. When I was told she did that I explained there wasn’t another bed and they would have to share. She was livid. After my husband got off the phone I told him she’s ungrateful and I find it sickening that she’s mad that I’m not footing the bill for another bed on her free vacation. The trip happened and on top of her friend, she also invited his sister and her new boyfriend and their kids. They got their own hotel luckily. The vacation ended with the sister being mad at us bc she was an hour late and we didn’t want to wait with 2 toddlers so we asked her to met us were we were and gave detail instructions bc there wasn’t phone service. We also left with a plan for another trip to her country because MIL is opening a business there and wants my husband to understand everything. We get home and have 3 months to get my passport fixed and pay for plane tickets. We get to her country and find out the business she’s been telling us is a bar is actually a brothel. She goes over the business plan and she’s taking 60% living in the states and has her cousin making 40% doing all the work. I went over this with my husband and we talked to her about it and got excuses I didn’t love but they told me it was because I didn’t understand what she meant because her English isn’t the best. Now here we are 2 months back in the states and she is telling us that she didn’t realize there was neighbors around the property (her dad owns most the land around her live and has for the last 50yrs) but they are forcing her to build a 10,000 privacy fence and she can’t afford it and wants my husband to help with the money. Here is my issue, she owns a house in her state that she is currently remodeling, she also has a Airbnb in another state that’s currently in its off season, along with her 5 acres and business that’s almost ready to in another country. She does make money if the crops on the 5 acres currently just not the business. My husband and I are in our late 20’s/30’s finally have the money as a down payment for our first house together and just got completely out of debt. We can help her but why? From my view point she’s in a better financial situation than us. AITA for telling my husband I would leave him if he helped his mom and I want to get our future secured for our child not his mother? submitted by /u/Delicious-Dig9435 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Made a slide out makeup vanity for the wifey
Got into woodworking about year ago, r/beginnerwoodworking suggested that this sub might enjoy this post too. begin copypasta We had talked about doing this ever since we remodeled our bathroom, it just took me around 7 months to get to it 😇 I used heavy duty 32” over-travel RV slides for the vanity. I started with the base to get everything mounted to the slides, squared up, and just went from there. It was a culmination of all the little things I’ve picked up from YouTube University. Used 12” Blum under mount slides for the vanity drawers. For power I installed a new outlet behind the cabinets which goes to a boingy extension cord that’s wired into the vanity outlet - this self retracts pretty small and can extend out to 6’. Each side is secured with a hook and strain relief. The bottom cabinet for the hamper storage is on Blum 30” slides…I wish they made them in 32”. I copied an off the shelf design for those pull-out trash cans and kinda just made it up as went along. For the curves I used an old end plate of a wire spool as a guide for my router. Newly acquired tool: this projected served as an excuse to pick up a Graco X5 sprayer. submitted by /u/Earhythmic to r/somethingimade [link] [comments]

You get 1 million per month, but you have to use the same bathroom every time you go number 2.
When the deal starts, you choose 1 bathroom in the world in which you can poop for free. You are now bound to that location for dropping a deuce. Any other location costs you $250k each time you doo the doo. In this case, a use is determined by what a reasonable person would consider a single session... so getting up and immediately sitting back down would be a single use. Leaving and returning 10 or 15 minutes later would be pinching a loaf twice and thus $500k. The toilet itself can change, but the location cannot... so if the bowl breaks or has a plumbing issue it can be replaced and you can still sink the Bismark for free. The location parameters must be generally within an area equal to or smaller than the average full bathroom size in the country in which you live. For the United States, that's about 40 square feet. Again, your location choice is judged by what a reasonable person would call a bathroom. The location must be a fixed spot on the globe, so you can't use a porta-potty, RV, or other mobile defecation platform as your base for busting a grumpy. The toilet can move around the room you choose if you want to remodel the bathroom (not a euphemism). Intending to go to the room but not making it and packing your underwear costs $250k. As long as you don't change your underwear continuing to fill them (or your pants) will be part of the same charge and no additional charges will apply. Launching a butt shuttle anywhere in the room counts as free. Sharting counts and will cost you $250k unless it's in the bathroom you selected. Skidmarks do not count. Uninating doesn't count, and you can urinate wherever you want without penalty (local laws and punishments apply). There are no restrictions on diet or medication, but you must have normal bowel function - no colostomy bags or other evacuation methods other than naturally dropping the Browns off at the Super Bowl. If you have surgery to correct obstructed bowels then the removal of Mr. Hankey will cost you $250k on top of medical expenses. The first time you spend more than 1 million deploying the USS Brownfish in a single month the million per month ends and the contract is automatically cancelled 12 months later. You have to pay any additional money spent during the remaining year for releasing your payload outside your base bathroom, but after that, you're free to go back to your normal life and you can see a man about a horse however you like. You can cancel at any time, but the 12-month waiting period applies after cancellation. Would you do it, and how would you avoid a dookie disaster? Edit to add clarification: "Normal bowel function" refers to the normal way of popping a squat and dropping anchor naturally. It does not refer to "being regular" or baking brownies on a regular schedule, nor does it refer to the quality or consistency of the bum slugs. As long as the fudge pop exits via the chocolate starfish... you're good. submitted by /u/LordSquiggyTheGreat to r/hypotheticalsituation [link] [comments]

I bought the property he wanted, he was a jerk about it
TL,DR: A guy was upset that I bought the property he wanted, so he was an ass about it. I make a lot of noise to annoy him and today he broke. The backstory: here in Sweden there is a huge difference in house prices between popular areas and major cities, compared to the countryside. This meant that I was able to buy a small fixer-upper house at the age of 23 (4 years ago) on a very average income. There was only me and one other bidder involved, and I eventually won the bidding at a reasonable price. The house is located a bit outside town with only one other house next to it, as well as an empty lot. Shortly after moving in an older guy came knocking on my door. He told me he was the other bidder and the owner of the empty property, and he only wanted my house in order to tear it down and make more space for his friend's RVs. He finished by essentially saying "enjoy your pile of junk". Since then he has spent most of the summers in a lawn chair next to his RV on the empty property, with a clear view up my driveway and shooting me dirty looks every time I walked or drove by. Now as I said, the house is a project and I've made many improvements over the years as time and money has allowed. There is always something that needs doing on the house, and I'm also the designated mechanic for friends and family. There is usually a car or two getting repaired in my garage. This means lots of noisy tools. I've made sure to always start some kind of project when I see him sit down in his chair. This has gone on for a few summers now. He gives me dirty looks, I make noise. Only on reasonable hours though. I don't do anything he can reasonably complain about. Today I continued on my bedroom remodelling and it seems my circular saw finally broke him. He turned his RV around and put the chair in the opposite direction. Where there is an actual view, as compared to my driveway. I see this as a total victory. submitted by /u/lillpers to r/pettyrevenge [link] [comments]

AITA for ruining a funeral and potentially costing a lot of family members their jobs?
I am NOT the Original Poster. That is u/PonderosaWillow. They posted in r/AmItheAsshole. Mood Spoiler: bittersweet Original Post: May 16, 2024 My grandparents passed away recently. I followed the guidelines my grandma set up for her final event. Her Church, her burial plot, her casket and the same for my grandpa. I just didn't expect for it to be a joint funeral. I sent out the notifications to friends of theirs and family after the date was set in stone. Their friends all came, so did most of my grandma's church but no family showed up. I wasn't surprised, I hadn't seen most of them in about 4 years. I had a great time with my grandparents friends and then I went back home and cried my heart out. I had been their sole caregiver and I didn't know what to do without them. I had taken care of them for 15 years. It started with little things like lifting heavy things and escalated to needing to change the bed twice a night sometimes. I was empty and started to scroll through my grandpa's facebook to see pictures he posted before his memory went.. I found a group, started about 3 years ago that was being flooded with activity. When I went poking around I found out it was my mother who was hosting a funeral at her church and was 'trying to get final expenses taken care of.' I was stunned. Here was the woman I hadn't spoken to since throwing her out of the house for stealing jewelry and upsetting grandma terribly by using her Alzheimer's against her. 'How could you forget my birthday! You promised to give me this!' I went to the funeral my mother had planned and listened to the pastor and then my mother got up to talk. She told everyone how hard it was taking care of them and something inside me roared to life. I don't remember everything I said, but it did include that she didn't pay for anything for them, not their caskets, not their burial plots, not their cremation, nothing. I told everyone I put them to rest at the funeral grandma planned herself 4 days prior. I said she'd never paid for any of their care or even seen them for 4 years. I was asked to leave and drove home. Later, a cousin asked me if what I said was true and when I said it was and I could provide proof, they explained my mother had been taking funds from the family for years to pay for their care at a facility because they had outlived their insurance policy. They also explained I got a lot of people in trouble because somewhere in the speech I shouted I had done it all alone for years without any help. A lot of family members used my grandparents as an excuse to get out of work and had invited their coworkers to the funeral. By hearing my outburst they were now in trouble for lying as for the reasons to leave work or miss days. She then went on to ask me about the inheritance and when that would be passed out. I told her that if anyone had earned the inheritance it had already been taken care of. I thought I was in the right, but now I'm doubting myself after so many cousins and family members are calling to tell me I handled it really poorly. AITA? Did I handle this badly? Everyone's telling me I did. Relevant Comments: Commenter: How are they holding a funeral without a body? Has your mother been grifting your relatives? How will those people get fired? They attended a funeral, if not the right one. Someone did die. Just give them a copy of the death certificate. OOP: There was no casket at her funeral, just a pair of pictures up at the front. I'm still confused on it myself why she was taking money for caskets when there wasn't one present at the funeral itself. The only signs of my grandparents at their own funeral were the two pictures up at the front, under the podium and a few posters of pictures from family members from 20-ish years ago or more. The reason my family members might get fired is they were claiming they were caring for my grandparents when they took their time off. From what I have gathered so far, that counted as FMLA. (Editor's note: FMLA paperwork: optional-use forms which can be used by employers to provide required notices to employees, and by employees to provide certification of their need for leave for an FMLA qualifying reason.) Employees who provide false or fraudulent information to utilize FMLA leave are breaking the law. I think that's what they were doing but I'm not sure because then they would have had to fill out FMLA paperwork and I'm not sure they all knew what they were doing. Commenter: NTA. You told the truth. The truth exposed your mother's hypocrisy and how she was scamming the family for money. It also exposed the scams of those who were pretending to care. The term for this is "poetic justice", and it was overdue. OOP: I'm still trying to figure out why they would lie about coming to help and not even bother to pick up the phone to call and check in with them. It makes no sense why they would use that as an excuse to me, what did they have to gain? A free day? They have dozens of other people they could have used but they fixated on using my grandparents. Commenter: I think you are worn down from the last 15 years of unremitting caregiving compounded by sudden loss of both grandparents. Kudos for doing so very much. Increase your home security. Stop engaging with toxic family; don’t even read that stuff. Take a break. Take a vacation and squish your feet in sand and get a massage. And breathe. You deserve it. OOP: I've gotten more calls on the land line in the last 2 weeks than I have in the last 6 years put together. It's hard to ignore because I've got to keep it open for different insurances, grandma and grandpa's friends who are trying to check on me and the company calls that are either clients expressing their condolences or just the day to day company calls. I just feel numb and lost without them both here. Commenter: This sounds really hard. Is there a friend you can get to help you? Maybe they could screen your calls? Or an employee of the business you can get to handle business calls for a bit? OOP: One of my grandma's friends kept me company a few hours and handled the phone calls. She just took off and told me Insurance companies won't phone me until maybe 6am if they're rude, the company calls would go to the main line first and they had options before the extension would boot them to the landline. She told me to just unplug the phone. I didn't even realize she was here for as long as she was. I didn't unplug it but I did manage to mute everything. I'm going to sleep and try to deal with it in the morning. My family isn't even close enough to me to have my personal cell number I realized and some of them are getting routed to the landline by calling the business first so I'm wondering if they even had the landline's number in the first place. Commenter: Sorry for your loss, however you did good. Rest assured on that. Hopefully your grandparents had wills made out and we're as up to date as possible. Get probate lawyer ASAP so this is sorted out. However get ready for sharks to invade their home, so don't let anyone in sort the house, the wills and everything otherwise this may be war. OOP: No one can enter the house or the other properties, at least not legally. I've legally owned them for just over 10 years. I had to pay the Capitol gains taxes on them the first year but my grandpa made sure I had everything when my grandma's diagnosis hit us. I'm really grateful for his foresight. The only thing I need to deal with the legal aspect is the life insurance policy payouts. Commenter: NTA. I'm honestly not entirely sure how you could have handled that better without being ignored. Your family members created these situations for themselves and now must deal with the consequences. I mean most if not all of them came to their actual funerals! You handled everything both for their care over the last 15 years and in their passing. And that's probably been very hard for you, especially if you don't have any support yourself (I hope you do). Be kinder to yourself, you're grieving and will need some time to heal. OOP: None of the family members came to the funeral. Some of them I've excused in my head because of my mom's actions. She sent out messages to everyone the location had changed due to issues with the size of the location. Grandma had picked out the location for her funeral, the same place she used to teach sewing lessons and run childcare teaching events. She loved that location, it was attached to her church. She didn't care what your question was, she'd answer it and help you to solve it. Didn't know how to fix the seam of your jeans? She could help. Didn't know how to stop your baby from crying all night? She'd know. She ran a lot of services for her community that still stand strong today. One of which is the Early Day's program at her church. Members sign up to visit new parents, do laundry, vacuum, dust, do dishes, cook a meal, watch the baby if the parents need to sleep. I'm so proud of her for the impact on her community she left. Commenter: My condolences on the loss of your grandparents. Your grandmother sounds like an incredible woman, and I think she would be proud of you now. 🤍 OOP: She was absolutely incredible. I have her pots and pans, knives and bowls. Grandpa made most of them for her himself. I know all her recipes. She and I wrote her cookbook for her community at her Church and with the Red Hatters. I've got all of her hats. Her amazing hats with huge feathers, heaps of lace and fake flowers. I had tons of costume jewelry she loved more than her real jewelry. I'm more connected to these 20c or 20 dollar pieces than her diamond, opals, pearls or anything else in her collection. I miss her so much and her whole community misses her and grandpa. All I want is to step back in time 10 years ago when grandpa arranged fish for a friend days or grandma arranged for us to make flower pens. There would be a group of us just sitting and wrapping fake flower stems to cheap pens with green floral tape. Commenter: Make sure you aren’t opening yourself for a counter narrative that you intentionally isolated them from the rest of the family for profit. I’m not accusing you but someone might. OOP: They have, it's going to be a fight for the insurance policies. I'm prepared for it because grandpa prepared me but it still feels wrong. I don't want money, I want them. I want them 10 years ago when they remembered who I was all the time, would watch tv drama's with me and remember all of the details. It feels like I lost them twice, once to their illness and then again when they finally left. I lived for those brief moments of clarity where they knew who I was. One last thought from OOP: My grandpa would have been embarrassed by it I think. He never liked attention being focused on him. Grandma would have given them all a piece of her mind, then she would have told me that yelling wasn't ladylike and I needed to stay calm. Bad people hate calm voices and level heads. One of her favorite sayings. Edit- OOP does have one comment mentioning coworkers: I've never been to a funeral where so many people invited coworkers but I keep getting bits of information from different sources in the family. One of my aunt's said her husband is in deep trouble for needing to buy a bed for grandma. He never bought her a bed. I told her that and then hung up on her. OOP is voted NTA Update (Same Post): May 17, 2024 (Next Day) Update: Thank you all. I felt I was the asshole because of how badly I reacted at the memorial service my mother held. It was very far out of character for me. I am usually very quiet and I don't talk too often, much like my grandpa. I screamed at them, I cried, I waved my arms and made an absolute spectacle of my grief. I feel so embarrassed by how I argued and carried on. Several family members are asking questions and seem genuinely bewildered by the circumstances. This happened on Sunday and it's Friday now, I am still feeling as lost as I did at first. One of my uncle's did lose his job, that was confirmed earlier. He had multiple schemes going on at his workplace with a need for a medical lift bed for grandma and got his coworkers to donate around 8k in total. The gossip queens that attended the funeral told everyone Monday morning and by Monday afternoon he was in trouble with HR. This wasn't the only way he tried to earn funds, there are at least two others I know about from his son. His son, my cousin, is furious with his dad and my mom. He and several other cousins of mine are suing my mother for taking funds from them. They thought they were helping pay for 24 hour care at an assisted living facilities. Every month my mother was collecting between 2,000 and 9,000 from family members. She would lament to them how hard and soul crushing it was to see such strong people just staring vacantly off into space, how they were unresponsive but this wasn't true. My cousins apologized for not reaching out to me, but I'm not very close with anyone in my family. Some of you guessed it in the DM's but yeah, I was an affair baby. I came out 'wrong' and my mother's husband divorced her over it. The people I was closest to growing up were my grandparents. It's bad enough that some of the cousins forgot I was a family member at all. It's a huge mess, they're apologizing but I just don't want anything to do with them. Grandpa's business is not worth millions, but it pays the bills. It's a handyman company. My family is asking about the company, how everything is going there and I'm putting up a stony face. It's not the family business, it's mine and it has been for years. All of the employees respect me because I treat them the same way grandpa did. I do still mess up some things that they tease me for. It's a very friendly place to work. One of grandpa's properties is just a fenced in yard with covered storage for the different projects. It's right next to the business property and is just where we work on remodeling old RV's or turning vans into RV's. We have a few friends parked there too but it's just a dirt lot with gravel, a fence and a cover. There are some security cameras there and so far no issues. I thought I would give an overall update and just thank you all for the support. I've felt so lost and I really did think I was TA for exposing them. Jobs are important and hard to come by out here and it's not just going to affect them. It's going to affect their partners, their children and even their pets. I feel most guilty about who else exposing them affected. Thank you, I really didn't expect this to blow up like it did. I'm going to keep reading and responding to comments. Thank you all again, this has been so incredible. I was never 'supposed' to be angry about anything, but seeing all the comments cussing out my family has been more cathartic than I can express. Thank you. Relevant Comment: I keep picturing if I had done it her way [grandma] and kept my focus instead of losing my mind and screaming. If I had just stood up and followed the 3 C's - Cool, Calm and Collected. I didn't follow what grandma taught me at all. I just popped and cried out. When my mother was talking it really felt like her words stabbed into me. One Uncle was terminated because his nosy coworkers spread it through everyone like wildfire. I think he was planning on quitting but now there's some stuff going on with him. I'm not sure because his wife and him just call to scream at me using the company line to do it and their son said to just ignore them. submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]
