Question: My company has been woefully understaffed for months now with no end in sight. We’ve been so busy that I have felt guilty about taking days off.

Text description provided by the architects. After inspection of the 60`s container home, it was clear that an extension or repurposing of the building was economically not viable. We made the decision to reuse the existing foundations and their dimensions for a new building that could house the client’s whole family. Our goal was to keep proportions, form, and orientation in line with the surrounding buildings and still achieve a modern confident building that represents the regional construction methods.

Wall and ceiling elements were prefabricated with the necessary openings for installation, which required precise planning on

Most Irritating House Guest Behaviors

In 2016, HomeAdvisor asked 2,000 Americans what house guest habits annoy them the most. Indefinite stays and going through a host’s personal belongings jointly topped the list, but showing up unannounced was a very close second.

Other common pet peeves included critiquing the host’s home, bringing an additional guest, making a mess, smoking, and not following house rules.

The vast majority of the time, it’s best to ignore reporting on where politicians go on vacation. Everyone, including elected officials, deserve to take occasional breaks, and where they travel is between them and their families.

But once in a great while, there are exceptions. Axios published a report yesterday, for example, that raised a few eyebrows.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is spending part of his congressional recess on a luxury yacht in Italy with his family after criticizing President Biden for vacationing in Delaware, Axios has learned…. NRSC spokesman Chris Hartline did not respond to requests for comment on Monday night after Axios spoke with three sources familiar with aspects of Scott’s itinerary. Upon learning of Axios’ plans to publish, he said: “Sen. Scott took a couple days to celebrate his 50th wedding anniversary with his wife and family — a trip that was planned more than a year

Longtime friendships are bound to have their ups and downs, but whether you and your pal go the distance usually depends on how you handle difficult situations.

One Mumsnet user asked the popular parenting site for advice after her best friend assumed she was invited on her family vacation.

Post to the AIBU (Am I Being Unreasonable?) forum on August 24, user holidaynightmare explained she’d planned the holiday as a 40th birthday treat for her husband.

The vacation is the first time the couple and their two children, aged 7 and 4, will have traveled overseas since the outbreak of COVID-19. However, when discussing the plans with her BFF, her friend assumed she was also invited.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga – A DeKalb County couple came home from vacation to find just about everything they owned was stolen or damaged.

Brandon and Mallory Blackley say while they were enjoying their time in Florida, thieves took over their home that they’ve been renting for the past couple of years.

The couple says crooks forced their way into their home and swiped everything of value: a car, motorcycle, and dirt bike. They also took a vintage guitar and
