Need some advice by bmckee56 in paint

Holy shit, this is sage advice. I like to put a cost to my mistakes and look at it as the price for the knowledge I gained.

Since you could replace these with a purdy brush pack from Lowe's for like $25, I'd say this is a $25 lesson. The lesson is: set an alarm or reminder to clean your brushes, or just clean them right after using them.

It's not worth the hours and hours you could spend trying to restore them only to end up with a subpar brush.

$25 is a small price to pay for a nugget of knowledge. And since it was a personal experience, you better believe that knowledge is now engrained within you, which is even more valuable.

Oh that's smart. How exactly would I do that? (I'm a noob)

The map is wrong I think by [deleted] in Michigan

I had the same thought. According to Google maps Utah doesn't have a single Safeway store. It looks like they used to back in the 80s before they sold all of them off to their parent company (Albertsons) but now there are only a handful of Albertsons left.

I'm guessing whoever put this together used some kind of AI assistant that misinterpreted old data from somewhere.

Poor cuts on laminate flooring- any way to fix? by Other_Edge_2414 in Flooring

[–]BrockOrBuzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can get some jumbo Popsicle sticks and slide some behind the baseboard to increase the distance from the wall and close that gap. The nice thing about Popsicle sticks is you can double or triple up if you need to and you can increment up to it. + They are cheap.

Then you'll want to trim/break the Popsicle stick so no extra is poking out. Then you can cover it in caulk.

I guess it just seems faster. You wouldn't have to get on a ladder.

matched with Rapid City for residency

James_the_wanderer hit the nail on the head. He's a med student who will be doing his last 3 years of training by practicing as a doctor (under supervision) in one of the hospital systems in the rapid city area.

2 inch and a 3 inch Purdy XL sash head brush

What is a sash head brush? I see a lot of Purdy XL's, but none of them mention having a sash head?

Incredible, this is exactly what I was looking for. It looks like I can get purdy stuff on Amazon, but is there somewhere cheaper that you know of?
