No but I laughed at what their latest email tried to tell me the value of my place is. There’s no way it’s gone up that much.
That is a good point. I’ve just been getting tired of all the work lately, it’s been non stop and none of them are fun projects. This electrical issue, rotted window trim, crawl space insulation, etc.
Yea, they try to push you pretty hard to thinking of selling They had my dads house valued at over twice what any realtor in the area said we could list it for
My zestimate is pretty accurate based off what other homes in my neighborhood are going for. Plus zillow doesn't even know about the recessed lighting I added in the kitchen.
Thinking about updating a few bathroom faucets, anyone have any they particularly like? The house we bought just have the standard contractor grade/style faucets. Also, is Glacier Bay brand worth a damn?
Leaky fridge finally ruined the flooring it was sitting on in a 10 sqft cutout. 1) As a 3/10 on the handy scale, how hard would it be to pull up and replace this ruined hardwood floor? I just want to get the floor functional since it’s just a fridge cubby and isn’t visible. 2) Are we still at Anything But Samsung from a fridge perspective?
It's not super tough but it's much easier with oscillating tool (for plunge cutting) or a super small Dremel circular saw. You will probably need to cut the tongues off of the nearest good boards.
I'm honestly shocked at the amount of horrendous looking houses people design and subsequently build. The interiors are beautiful, but good christ the outsides are ugly. Or they build the house on the entirety of the lot so there is zero yard
I mean, this isn't the best looking house, but Jesus christ why are the windows off center?? This builder apparently has 3 houses exactly like this in the same nhood. What's wrong with you?
"Farm House" is the new trendy style. They look good if designed right. I love craftsman too. This was built across from me and I think it looks good.
in an area with a lot of sales and that's relatively homogenized, zestimate's are going to be really accurate.
So I am going to be replacing the hardwood floors in my house as I believe they were the originals and are the smaller 2 inch planks and have worn pretty heavily in areas. Any material suggestions? Looking at replacing with larger planks and or laminate. Thanks in advance.
Those are the 3 resting positions. I’ve since moved the sound bar to the bottom and tightened up the loose wires. It’s slightly off center but I had an outlet to contend with that I had to place to one side or the other of the wall bracket. The tv is level but the house is crooked. It’s made a huge difference and I think it’s ridiculous the guy wanted $500 after installing it myself. The main thing is adjusting the hydraulic tension to suit your tv weight and making sure your measurements are correct to clear the depth of the mantel. I would of never finished had I followed the exact instructions, at a certain point I said fuck it and started grabbing parts from everywhere. I also basically had to disassemble and reassemble to understand how the thing is supposed to function. Now that I’ve done one I could do another in a quarter of the time.
Anybody in this thread in Oklahoma, have some remodeling experience, and willing to come over and exchange wisdom/recommendations for beer and a narrated walk through of the murderhouse?
Budget is pretty open, I mean I don't want to spend a fortune, but am willing to take my time saving money to pay for a decent product. Its going to be a home for the new 2-5 years I anticipate. No kids now, but probably in the future.
Also the rubber grip on the mantel Mount handle attached to the bottom of the TV has thermochromic dye in it that changes to orange when it reaches 110 degrees so you know if you’re about to damage your television from direct heat exposure. Pretty ingenious.
1.) Have the existing screened or refinished. No demo, kinda messy, may require a couple nights in a hotel. 2.) Laminate or other floating option. I like US Floors CoreTec. Possibly installed over existing, but doors, jambs, and trim may have to be cut. 3.) New hardwoods, especially wider, will be big money. Full demo, loud, messy, and takes a bit of time. Options 1 and 2 may be close in price. 2 has a lot going for it, but some architectural cons. A waterproof floating floor is a pretty fine thing, for most people. Option 3 is the most expensive, but nicest, if it fits your lifestyle. A pro floor sander would need to look at what you have for option 1. Hit me up if you have questions.
One positive from Iran shit... should result in flooding of the bond market & mortgage rates dropping
Any tips on drilling into subway shower tile for a shower curtain rod? I've watched some videos and bought these drill bits but still nervous as hell https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bosch-C...late-Ceramic-and-Glass-Tiles-NS2000/301427910
Definitely the right bits Dont put too much pressure behind the drill, but keep the bit spinning fast
My only advice is dont get a waterfall style faucet if you use clippers on your beard or hair. Whiskers get into the opening of the faucet and are a pain to get out.
I always wanted one of those, and had a chance to put one in my basement bathroom, which I feel is probably the ideal place to get one. I can see where it would be bad in a master bathroom.
So who has dealt with a small roach infestation? Have them living on and around my dishwasher. Started about a month ago seeing 4-5 little guys every morning. Sprayed some home defense under and behind the washer and eventually put down raid roach traps throughout the kitchen. The numbers dwindles to maybe one a morning but now I’m finding about 2-3 a morning. Any recommendations on what to do and use to eliminate these fuckers. I’m not willing to hire a professional yet.
Rabid can you remind me, didnt you lower your basement floor? Did they just bucket everything out or what?
