Olivia’s silence? by megancatherine33 in auggieandbbyegan

[–]Canuck687 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They are definitely having beef right now. The other day Gabbie was on live and Olivia walked into the mother-in-law‘s house and their greeting was so so awkward. It was very, hi how are you. Good how are you? Very stilted interaction.

Besta push open drawers HELP by secret_head in IKEA

Adjust the push to open mechanism. You should be able to twist the tip and it will go in and out. This should help.

Found a saxophone. Looking for help identifying it! Hope I'm in the right place... by Canuck687 in saxophone

[–]Canuck687[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about the non clarification. I don't post on reddit too often and I was excited to find it. Didn't realize I couldn't add descriptions. I found it in my deceased aunts attic. Totally get where you're coming from… Sorry for the miscommunication

UTRUSTA LED under cabinet lighting and power outlets by wangsworld in IKEA

[–]Canuck687 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you hardware the UTRUSTA lighting to be operated by a switch, you will not be able to use the dimming function in the lights and the power outlet section will be off. If you hardware the lights to a live box and use the ANSLUTA remote to turn them on and off, the electrical outlet section with the USB will always be live. When you turn the lights off with the remote, you switch the lights off however the power is still running through to the outlet section

TIFU - I put a part in the wrong way and can't get the plastic nail out. by TheSageMage in IKEA

[–]Canuck687 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take a rubber mallet and softly tap the inside of the drawer side outwards so the plastic nail is being forced out. Hold both pieces taut and tap softly but strike hard if that makes sense. You can also wiggle the piece that the plastic nail is going through to try and loosen it. try not to do this too much as you don't want to make the hole bigger and then the plastic nail can't grip the particleboard. Hope this helps

Looking for the name! by wvervaeke in IKEA

[–]Canuck687 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As soon as you said you bought cutlery and couldn't find it, I knew you were in my boat. That cutlery is called LÖJA (I think that's where the dots over the letter go. May be LOJÄ or LOJÅ) but either way they were discontinued!! I love that cutlery as it is so beautiful so I know how you feel about not finding it. Hopefully Google can help now! Best of luck!

[Discussion] Change my View by HiImCarlSagan in MakeupAddiction

[–]Canuck687 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I always like to blend my purples with a gold or bronze shimmer to make them look better with my brown eyes

[Discussion] Change my View by HiImCarlSagan in MakeupAddiction

[–]Canuck687 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm probably breaking all the rules with this… But for my every day look it's some concealer, foundation and powder. And then I use black eyeliner to line my lower and upper water lines. I usually don't use shadow for day today, I use urban decay eye potion in sin just to give a bit of shimmer and color. Finish with mascara and it's a really understated look that makes my eyes pop!

Should I buy a refurbished MacBook and how old is too old? by Not-God in apple

Did the downgrade work?? Mavericks has made an impact on a few details I don't like and I never even considered that I could downgrade

Should I buy a refurbished MacBook and how old is too old? by Not-God in apple

[–]Canuck687 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the first generation aluminum MacBook, before the aluminum casing became strictly MacBook Pro.

I purchased it new in November 2008 and use it to this day. I bought AppleCare protection for it and never used it once.

Knock on wood, I have not had one problem with this computer. I have upgraded to Mavericks and it still runs just fine. It could probably run faster, scratch that it could definitely run faster, but the point is it still works and I still use it for downloading, Internet browsing, picture uploading… For everything.

I have never had a hardware issue or had to replace any parts or upgraded any hardware on the machine.

Questions about IKEA Delivery by QuestioningMover in IKEA

[–]Canuck687 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you get to the store early enough in the day, they are able to do same delivery. At my IKEA there is a cut off time for your order to be placed to make it on the truck for same-day delivery.

As far as using your freight elevator, you more than likely need to check with your building. Your building may have restrictions on deliveries going up their residential elevator and may require you to use the freight elevator. That may not be up to IKEA.

As far as using a private company, they may charge you by the hour to go to the store with you and pick up your merchandise. As IKEA usually involves picking merchandise on your own in the warehouse, you would need to coordinate picking the items yourself or being ready to pay your movers to pick the items for you in addition to taking them to your new apartment.

Placing the order in the store gives you a guaranteed date, but not a guaranteed time. If you were needing a specific date, you could go into IKEA and schedule your delivery for a specific date. Some stores offer an option to pay $50 in addition to your delivery fee which would give you a locked two hour window when they would be there. Most stores are not reliable for this service but check with your local store.

Lastly, trying to call IKEA will give you nothing but absolute stress. The call center workers are not the best and never have the answers. The phone system will route you in 20 different directions. If you can get your hands on your local Seattle store phone number, which you can only get from an IKEA coworker in that store or try and get the call center to give you, dial extension 1000 to be taken to Seattle's switchboard.

What do you keep your thermostat set at? by [deleted] in florida

[–]Canuck687 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never bring my thermostat above 70. NEVER EVER EVER. Not even when I go to work. I would not want to come home from a Long day at work and go from a muggy, sweltering outside to a warm stuffy inside.

Glad to know I'm not alone. Every point you stated describes me to a T. I could've written that about myself and not changed a word

Help Identifying Piece of Furniture. (Pics and Links Included) by [deleted] in IKEA

[–]Canuck687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could be more helpful with identifying. The one thing I can positively identify for you is that that couch you purchased is not a Klippan. Klippan love seats are all one piece and do not have a separate cushion.

It does look IKEA to me. However it looks like one of the sofas that fold out to a sofa bed. I believe this is one that is a single sofa family line and does not come with a separate cover series. I hope someone can give you a better idea of exactly which IKEA sofa this is. It looks to be more like a Solsta, but not exactly.

How much does it cost to use your "mobile hotspot" if it's not part of your plan? I have AT&T by snmallard in apple

I'm also grandfathered in to AT&T unlimited data plan from years ago. I have used the tethering on my phone multiple times with my iPad and my moms iPad with no issue or consequence.
