how are things going now with your rental business? One thing I've been wondering about is how others deal with equipment maintenance—do you handle repairs in-house or rely on third-party services? I’m trying to figure out what’s more cost-effective in the long run, especially as the equipment gets older.
We had something similar—my partner travels a lot for work, and at first, it felt like too much. What helped was planning little routines and check-ins, plus figuring out how to stay connected.
For anything business-related, I even found a service where you can find more about setting up a Limited Company easily—it made juggling things less stressful and gave me ideas on managing time and commitments.
I ran into a similar issue with leveling in one corner and ended up using a few extra base blocks just to get the pitch right for drainage. Once that was set, I moved my patio furniture in and everything sat level. No rocking chairs or tables anymore, which was a huge win. Also, the poly sand held great through a couple big rains, so that was a relief.
I ran into the same tire issue last winter and ended up switching brands after way too much sliding around. For heavy-duty truck tires, especially in Canadian weather, I've had better luck checking out https://pneusquebec.net/pneus-camions-lourds/ — they've got solid options and some good info on what handles well in rough conditions. Might be useful if you're still trying to sort out what works best.
I can't remember all of the days that she is at the school. However, I do know for a fact that she is (or should be) at the school on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
