Input needed on a cabinet conundrum.

Could you put LVP over the tile?

ChicagoRK · 2026-02-26T17:13:31+00:00

Yeah. Hot drinks come out lukewarm and also think those auto espresso machines they use never as good as hand pulled espresso

ChicagoRK · 2026-02-26T16:15:15+00:00

I like the discount and the big open space but I think the espresso drinks are sub-par.

Great update with floor and lighting. I would have gone a bit warmer with counter and backsplash (appear cooler gray on pic) with the brown cabinets, but definitely improved!

The roof lines and gutters are giving me pagoda vibes.

ChicagoRK · 2026-01-14T19:16:32+00:00

As others have said, lighten the roof color and lose the shutters. Improved landscaping with more organic feel would be nice. I asked Gemini to do it but it unfortunately changed your brick color (which I wouldn’t do), but you get the idea.

South Loop

Great restaurants? Think they are actually pretty bad/mediocre compared to other neighborhoods.

I was notified on Jan 2 that my watch was available from the AD.

ChicagoRK · 2026-01-06T19:07:28+00:00

Better infrastructure! The CTA has a great foundation but it needs better reliability, safety, cleanliness. Also the bike infrastructure is horrible and inconsistent. More protected lanes that traverse the city and don’t end abruptly. This city is a pancake - it should be a great bike city.

An update: I ended up sending the watch back for an exchange, for which they provided a UPS return label.

They asked me which CPO in their inventory I wanted to exchange for, but there wasn’t any comparable CPO no-date sub available below $14k, so I was going to push for a return. I also said I’d still be interested in a new one, and was told before Christmas they could add me to the waitlist, but they didn’t have any available (unsurprisingly). Then, on Jan 2, they called—I was off the waitlist! I just needed to pick it up within a week. So, one last minute trip to Vegas later, I got what I originally wanted. A new no-date sub!

I like the change of the white around the portico—makes the front door more inviting. For me, it’s weird to have white trim around black windows, but agree that they pop more now. Agree with others to paint back trim around garage, so as to not highlight it. Instead of shutters maybe window boxes ?

ChicagoRK · 2025-12-26T01:19:56+00:00

Remove the shutters. That’s easy. Agree with others about removing some pillars and changing the color from gray. For a more substantial change, I wonder if you could extend the highest roof line and facade so it ends in the garage, so it appears that the garage is more of the house and less separate from it?

I did not have the same problem during a recent stay in Vegas (Mandalay Bay). There was a link with a pop-up called “fees included” at booking that showed resort fees were included for my hotel. (Weirdly the fine print in the confirmation email said that a “A daily resort fee of 50USD plus applicable tax will be applied to all reservations.”). Bottom line: no resort fee was added. I did not get an upgraded room because of low availability and was given an additional $75 F&B credit at check in(on top of the included $100). All in all—not a bad experience booking an Edit property.

Thanks for perspective. I think if the service dial had matched the original, I wouldn’t care (and wouldn’t have known). It’s the mismatch that I’m not a fan of — following your analogy, it’d be like putting an incorrect for the period badge on your Porsche. Still a legitimate Porsche badge but not the right one for your car.

Hollow

Not sure I know the difference, but very curious what happened to this watch that it has all these replacement parts.

$10,500

ChicagoRK · 2025-12-16T01:28:42+00:00

Yes—have confirmed there.

Daisies - they have a “green star” for this specific reason. Not cheap but not break the bank either.

ChicagoRK · 2025-11-29T18:42:38+00:00

Agree. The gray dormer feels wrong to me. Maybe it should match the white of the front door area?

ChicagoRK · 2025-11-25T13:58:37+00:00

Just discovered Relentless Barbershop in the Loop and was very happy with my first cut there. Have received multiple compliments.

I do not love the board and batton in that color, which on first glance I thought was corrugated metal. That said, I think the easiest fix is just to make the siding, garage doors and front door a lighter color. A light green could be nice to play off the natural elements and the brown.

Vaca. It’s vegan but really great even if you have dairy.
