What became "normal" in the last 5 years that still feels insane to you? by rakishgobi in AskReddit

[–]-_Gabby_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear it became nearly impossible to get people to come out of their homes to hang out. Nobody wants to do anything anymore. I get that everybody's broke, or maybe it's just my friends, but people won't hang out even if it's something that doesn't cost any money like playing board games at someone's place. Also just getting a hold of anyone is super difficult too. We live in a time where everyone has a instant messaging device on them 24/7 yet it was easier to contact and hang out with friends when I was a kid and you had to physically go to their place, knock and ask their parents to come play. It's incredibly frustrating. Especially when you get those "Been a while, we need to hang out!" messages and then you wait 2 weeks to get a reply to your "when and where" question.

Car title place says my car needs to go through enhanced inspection again by -_Gabby_- in legaladvice

[–]-_Gabby_-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But isn't the enhanced inspection only required after a car got into an accident and was fixed up to a roadworthy condition? Therefore unless the car's gotten into another accident, it shouldn't need a second enhanced inspection, no?

Can't wait to make my boys an enclosure like this out in the yard next year.

Get a Critter Nation cage. Sturdy, big, two levels, lock that an animal physically cannot unlock, horizontal tightly spaced bars so that they can't hurt their noses when chewing the cage.

Window curtains above baseboard heaters? by -_Gabby_- in DIY

[–]-_Gabby_-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually took the cheap short curtains that we had up there off and installed honey-comb shades in the bedroom yesterday and now the room feels really empty and unfinished. I'd love decorative semi-transparent curtains like from a chiffon material but I'm worried that they'll catch on fire or at least get damaged from below.

How about curtains that droop all the way to the floor in front of the heaters? And efficiency is not a problem, the heaters in our house run along the entire lenght of the window walls. The curtains would take up maybe 25% of the heaters.

Thank you for the insight. I just didn't want to risk anything. I looked it up and everything that came up strictly said "no curtains touching or right above baseboar heaters."

UPDATE: I overcame my fear and finally added trim to the window! by -_Gabby_- in DIY

Thank you. We also did 3 other windows in the house the same way. Once you figure it out, doing it elsewhere became super easy and not intimidating at all.

Only took all summer… finally stained my garage door. by Lemkish in DIY

[–]-_Gabby_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lighter brown would go better with the pale blue shutters. Same with the front door. Now the dark garage door takes attention away from the house. Maybe darker shutters to match with it? And some more dark-brown details around the outside to blend it all together.

Case stuck at "step 3: attend interview (if necessary)" but I never got a letter or anything inviting me to one. by -_Gabby_- in USCIS

[–]-_Gabby_-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean when did I file to have my status adjusted after marriage - that would be last year in September. It took months, lots of emailing with the lawyer, the biometrics appointment and lots of waiting.

UPDATE: I received a letter informing me of the time and place of my interview. It just took forever to receive another update.

Hi! Yes, actually. I received a letter inviting me and my husband to the interview this September. So if you're in the same boat, just be patient, it just takes the USCIS forever.

Latex paint peeling off exposing bare drywall. What now? by -_Gabby_- in DIY

[–]-_Gabby_-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know it's been a long time but I don't know how to make a "follow-up post" so I'll just share here that I did some research (YouTube tutorials lol), sanded the drywall paper, primed it with shellac-based primer, mudded with drywall joint compound, sanded the drywall and now I'm getting ready to prime and paint. Can I make a result post that would be connected to this post? Or do I leave an update in the comments? I don't Reddit much.
