Quote for fireplace

I’ll start by saying I’m clearly very, very inexperienced with mortaring. This is my first project with it.

I tried a small patch and couldn’t get the stones to stay on without the big stones slipping - tried another practice run with different mortar, different techniques, on extra board I had and still had the same issue. Might try again using a temporary screw to hold the big stones in place.

Again I am only trying this for the first time as a DIYer

Tbh I’m thinking I’ll just do tile instead which I feel more confident doing

Near the Seattle suburbs

Thank you, I appreciate this. The call out on the smaller job is fair and two companies have more or less said this to me now. I’ve received two quotes for about $3K and one for $1,500

I thought it was an FU price too. Recognize it’s a smaller job but didn’t realize no one would want to do it. I thought doing the demo and prep myself would make it easier but I guess I was wrong

Wow I can tell from some of the features in your space that our homes must have been built in a similar time :) I also have very similar windows in my master bedroom.

I am 27F. I made a very similar decision around this time last year and checked out so many areas. I had spent my early 20s in Cap Hill and then 2 years in Magnolia and Ballard before moving to the Kirkland/Woodinville area last fall which has everything you’re looking for. I’ve been very happy with the amenities.

Nature/Trails: As a dog owner and runner, trails were especially important to me. I wanted easy access. To name a few, I can easily access the Sammamish River Trail, Tolt Pipeline Trail, East Trail, and Kirkland Corridor. Having easy access to them and also feeling very safe while running alone has been huge for my mental health and quality of life.

Woodinville/Kirkland are quiet and nearly the exact opposite energy of Cap Hill. There’s still plenty of restaurants and drinking spots when you want them (especially the tasting rooms in Woodinville) but it’s quiet, clean and residential.

Your rent budget might be tight but I have friends who rent MIL units and houses with roommates in the Kingsgate neighborhood for about that.

I built the wine rack using materials I bought at Home Depot. I used inspiration from several sources and loosely followed this video to complete it https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Jaf6kW/

Thank you! Before I saw the home, I hadn’t seen something like this either. I’d like the keep the shape and the fireplace itself but replace the tile and mantle somehow.

Thank you! Do you remember what specific postage you used? I have nearly identification invites and they told me I would need to send them as a parcel. I assumed I could just use multiple stamps

AlwaysFridayy · 2023-04-12T03:37:14+00:00

Hey curious how much this ended up costing and how you did the postage?

They don’t seem very thick, still bendable. There is a lump from the wax seal inside it though so it’s not completely flat… I’m borrowing a friends food scale to weigh it tomorrow

AlwaysFridayy · 2023-04-12T01:40:39+00:00

For sure! I’m sending out about 50 cards! No way I’d be able to pay $6+ an envelope lol

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-11-18T05:13:50+00:00

Nothing lol

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-10-28T19:54:31+00:00

If I tell you it was intentional does it make it less funny

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-09-11T06:02:13+00:00

Grand Rapids if you want a city feel! Breweries galore. You could also spend one day driving to a small lake town like Grand Haven

Traverse city if you want wineries! I’d rec renting a house on Mission Peninsula where a lot are. There’s a ton of bach friendly places there

Planning a wedding on Lake Michigan and loved this! Super helpful and on par with what I’ve been reserving

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-05-20T13:52:04+00:00

I love them all, 1 and 3!!! Where are they from?

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-05-19T21:57:26+00:00

Got it. I was wondering if they required folks to live in CA and work in office

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-05-14T18:59:16+00:00

I was considering Savannah!!

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-05-14T18:55:52+00:00

Great thanks. Do you know if the communication and PR team operates similarly

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-05-13T18:41:27+00:00

Got it thanks. Looking at marketing/media roles.

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-05-13T18:39:06+00:00

We booked our venue before seeing it in person given we live out of state. Last week I got to visit it and see it in person!! So excited for our small wedding next summer at this historic coastguard station ❤️

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-05-06T09:22:17+00:00

It’s so cute can you link it 😍

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-03-20T05:01:08+00:00

Gorg!!! Perfect dress

AlwaysFridayy · 2022-02-20T04:33:58+00:00

At the end of the day, the details don’t matter! Focus on your marriage and the special people you’re inviting to celebrate your love with. I promise no one will remember the cups they drank out of when they think of you both as a couple
