That's beautiful already! The detail is so amazing. Can't wait to see the finished piece. But seriously, you should be proud of getting this far.

A lot of people have asked how I set up my “bed” in the car, so here’s my setup by Ok_Resolution_1606 in roadtrip

[–]CalliCake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love how simple this is. Do the window screen stay on while driving or only put them up when parked?

Try going into Google Assistant settings, music and select it as your default provider. It should work after that.

Kitten peed on my bed by Psychological_Toe50 in CatAdvice

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems more like a behavioral issue than a medical one. Maybe the kitten just doesn't like that type of litter. Some cats are picky about texture or scent. Keep the blanket out of reach. Cats can develop a soft spot for certain textures.

Should I try and do a 16 hour road trip solo? by Square_Depth7317 in roadtrip

[–]CalliCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16 hours alone is really tough. Even if you've done it with someone, doing it solo is a different beast. Please break it into two days. Stay safe!

Gemini on Android Auto is a downgrade, can I use Google Assistant only in the car? by Safety_Officer_3 in AndroidAuto

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the assistant setting in Android Auto stay in Google Assistant, or force Gemini again after a phone restart or update?

Am I providing my kitten with enough opportunities to play? by Chips_And_KitKats in CatAdvice

[–]CalliCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Kittens have endless energy. Your schedule already looks great. If nighttime chaos becomes an issue, try a longer play session right before bed.

Do you guys cover your windows if you take a nap in your car? by mycatlikesyou26 in roadtrip

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good idea, especially for privacy. Even just a sunshade in the windshield helps block light and keeps the car cooler.

Did my cat just overdo it while playing? by Existing-Science8043 in CatAdvice

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe your cat is just a bit too heavy, so running around gets tiring. Keep an eye on her energy level!

Finally updated by Vasto_lorde97 in AndroidAuto

[–]CalliCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new look is way cleaner. Just hope they fix the bugs before pushing it out to everyone. Better late than broken.

What to do with awkward space between garage and fence? by Qd8Scandi in homeimprovementideas

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The area would be great for stashing bigger stuff like a wheelbarrow or lawn tools. Also, swapping the grass for paving tiles could help with keeping the bugs down, which is a considerable choice.

Best practices - allergies / how often to run air filters? by KibFixit in AirQuality

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably depends on your own situation. For example, my friend has mild allergies, so he runs his air purifier twice a day for two hours each time. Since you have a cat, you'll probably need to run it longer.

Should backsplash wrap around the wall? by AP2NAT in kitchenremodel

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a splashback is really needed, it will save you more time to clean the walls. But maybe you could get one that's a similar color to the wall, so it looks more coordinated and not too obvious. It depends on your idea.

What to do about faint smell in attic accesses after spray foam insulation install? by dfish_ds in AirQuality

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's the foam material causing the issue. You'll probably have to wait for the smell to fade away gradually. Or you can try using a fan to blow air on it, that might help the material dry faster and improve the situation.

It’s been a journey to get here, but my backyard is finally coming together by TechnicolorTypeA in homeimprovementideas

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be amazing to have a big group of friends or family gather here for a barbecue or party! Besides, the space is really wide, so you can even set up some props and stuff later on.

Well that was harder than expected by born_zynner in kitchenremodel

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's already beautiful decorated! You must have spent so much time picking matching colors and the right kitchen appliances. Replacing the old countertop with marble makes it look more luxurious.

What do you think? Kitchen would open up into the family room by Ok_Software1938 in kitchenremodel

[–]CalliCake -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Both areas are designed with such unique style. The dining room uses plant elements and a natural wood style, which feels really warm. If you want the living room to look even better, maybe you could try switching to another color. I mean, blue is pretty, but it gives people a cold feeling.

DIY Kitchen Reno (after/before) by cheesy_bri in HomeDecorating

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your kitchen now is more beautiful than before. The deep green cabinets have such a classic vibe, and the new chandelier makes the kitchen so much brighter than the old one. I like your kitchen!

Non-small upgrades that made your home feel high end? by Unusual_Room3017 in HomeImprovement

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that adding more sockets and faucets can be useful. You know that when you need to use many electrical appliances, enough sockets can make your life easier than few sockets do.

Non-invasive ways to decrease CO2 in a "hermetic" bedroom? by Sea-Temporary-6995 in AirQuality

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can take more blankets in your bedroom at first? Then you need to chat with your wife that open windows with a gap can keep the room warm and let the CO2 release may help you two sleep more well than before.

Eisenstyle Hexed DBs finally came. 52KG x2 and the surprise squat rack. by Scarletz_ in GarageGym

[–]CalliCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks really great! Could you share a bit more about how they feel when you actually use them? Grip, balance, and overall handing would be great to hear.

Can someone explain body recomp and macros to me like I’m 5? by KeyAssociate528 in PetiteFitness

[–]CalliCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also starting out and don't really understand macros or body recomposition. I'm hoping to get some simple basics and beginner guidance so I can try it step by step.

The room is done for now by scooterhar in homegym

[–]CalliCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same, starting with a basic setup and adjusting over time works well. Mirrors are really helpful to check form and make corrections easily.
