I heard someone IRL say it just last week. I think the issue is more specific to certain jobs or industries at this point, whereas before it was widespread and there were worker shortages in every field.
What I glean now is that a lot of the “no one wants to work anymore” issues are centered around low paying service jobs. Which in my mind tells me basically that people have skilled up to fill better paying roles, and the overall reduction in employable workers means there simply aren’t people willing to work those low paying jobs anymore.
The stories you got were extreme, but mine was no walk in the park either.
I had to request more anaesthetic during the procedure because I could feel way too much of what was happening. That was endurable but extremely unpleasant.
Recovery wise I was up and walking around relatively normally after 3 days or so. A week to feel mostly normal doing day to day tasks. A month before I felt really actually normal. 6 months before the scar was totally healed.
It seems extreme to suggest you’d never enjoy sex again. If that were true what would be the point of the procedure? It was two weeks or so before we gave it a go, and it was great.
One weird thing with mine is that my first two samples came back positive. So I waited an extra two months then went in again and finally the tests came back negative.
Anyway my point isn’t to discount what you’re saying. But I think it’s important to have as much anecdotal info out there as possible. The only regret I have is that they offered me a valium before the surgery and I turned it down. No idea why I did that but I’m sure my nervousness contributed to how stressful the whole ordeal was and that could have been avoided had it not been for my own hubris.
I’m a new homeowner and unsure about maintaining my roof. How often should I have it professionally inspected? Is there a best time to do these inspections? Also, I’ve heard about roof cleaning, but I’m unsure if it’s necessary, and if so, how often to do it.
You said it’s asphalt shingles in another comment. If it’s under 20 years old and you aren’t having issues, there’s nothing for you to do.
If you’re getting moss, leaf, or pine needle build up, I would clear that off with some regularity. You don’t have to be militant about it, just get a broom or brush and clean it when you can. If your roof pitch is shallow enough to allow these issues then it should be shallow enough to do cleaning yourself. If the pitch is so steep you’d want to hire someone then you probably don’t have these issues.
I would never call any part of a house “set and forget”. But correctly installed asphalt shingle roofs are made to last 20-30 or more years with little to no maintenance during that span. Since you’re new to the home I don’t see any harm in having a professional inspect it to get a read of where you’re at. They should be able to give you an estimated remaining lifespan and advice on things to watch for specific to your roof.
