  1. @oheso asks:

    The sun and weather have taken their toll on my six-year-old Kärcher spray (pressure) washer. I'm not sure what to do for a replacement. There's a newer model with a collapsible water tank, which I suspect will be even more prone to cracking. There are a number of knock-offs, but not a whole lot of competitors. I looked at an Iris Oyama -- I'm happy with my cordless drill -- but reviewers mentioned too many issues.

    Q6. Before I just order the same again (and make an effort to protect it from the sun and weather), does anyone have any alternatives to recommend? I need a water tank model (no faucet in the Workshop in the Sky) and rechargeable battery (no outlets either).

    I also would like something quieter, if possible. I'm always concerned this one is bothering the neighbors (although none has complained). #CondoLife

    (Do you wash your bike/cycle with a spray washer?)

  3. The ultimate life hack is to record your condo board meeting town hall on a AI note taker and read the summary after.

  5. HOA rules are "no growing vegetables on your porch".

    What edible plants would you suggest I grow? I'm already growing mint, because herbs!=vegetables in my mind. Last year I grew potatoes because
    1. they're sneaky and
    2. I had a bag full of volunteers.

    The reasoning for the rule is that vegetables attract pests, which feels kinda silly because they allow planting bulbs, which I
    know attract pests because all the bulbs I planted last year were dug up and eaten by pests. #containergardening #sneakygardens #growmyown #containergardening #sneakygardens #growmyown #containergardening #sneakygardens #growmyown #condolife

  7. The photo captures the stark contrast of light and shadow on a staircase leading to condos on Custer Street, Evanston. The minimalistic black and white tones accentuate urban geometry and texture, evoking a sense of quiet elegance.

  9. Some initial observations on our downsizing journey:
    - open houses are very busy. Lots of people looking, few are buying.
    - always wear slip-on shoes to open house. Tying shoes in a condo hallway in your late 60s is not graceful.
    - when looking for info online, never provide an email or phone # to access content. You'll get spammed immediately by agents.
    - a room 3.5 ft by 4.5 ft is NOT a bedroom.
    - trying not to think about how much stuff we have to get rid of.

  11. Casper is enjoying his condo, in particular the view of half the main floor (including his favourite room the kitchen). The bath scrub on top has been stolen from the master bathroom several times so he now owns it... for sanitary reasons.

  12. @georgieboy We leave the balcony door open at least a crack on all but the coldest of days with a wind from the lake because some of those maniacs are setting their thermostats inside the building. #CondoLife

  13. I’m not a #basketball fan, but I can tell you exactly how well the #Celtics are, or are not, doing on any given night based on my neighbors’ reactions.

  14. Some guy here just threatened to solve the community problems with guns lmao #condolife

  15. "I would love to have a heart attack on the stairs so I could sue [this condominium]" #condolife

  16. I'd rather shovel shit than having to corral a dumb board and angry residents. #condolife

  17. @curtismchale I watched that one actually, nicely done! I’m not mechanically inclined enough to pull that off, ignoring the fact I have no tools or workspace. #CondoLife
