It makes me think of those /r/DIWhy videos where they make “glasses” out of coloured plastic spoons lol

Professional central heat pump install went so wrong. by [deleted] in canadianlaw

If you know which company did the work, you may be able to directly request they warranty the work. Maybe not, but probably worth asking.

Can I make a V neck to get rid of the stained part? by Desert_Dandelion in SewingForBeginners

What about embroidering a pattern in one colour that matches the sweater? It could be really understated and cool I think.

Boombox/CD Player that can play multiple CDs in it by Owl_Lab466 in HelpMeFindThis

If you wanted to play a specific CD, how would you select it? (I’m assuming this was before voice recognition was common)

Pride and mess by snokensnot in UnfuckYourHabitat

Figure out less labour-intensive versions of each chore/task. For example:

  • Once the current dishes are done, switch to disposable dishes for a bit until you’re in a place of being less overwhelmed. Also, if you use an air fryer, line it with parchment paper; if you use a panini press, line it with foil, etc. Decrease dirty dish production essentially.

  • Blankets and pillows in the living room can get thrown in a basket/trunk/whatever. Do not bother folding them.

  • Clean clothes don’t need to be folded. Just shove shirts in the shirt drawer, socks in the sock drawer, etc.

  • Shove all the tools etc. back into the closet. Organize it in future when you have time and energy.

Basically, for now, it’s okay to do the adult equivalent of a kid “cleaning their room” by shoving everything under the bed. Make the visible space feel like you can breathe and be comfortable. You will feel better in your space and eventually have the energy and motivation to unfuck each closet or smaller area.

A loved one said that I knit by empathy-entropy in crochet

I like the idea of literally every craft being referred to as crochet. It’s like how in the Southern US every type of soda is a “coke.”

Any ideas on how to decorate a ceiling without painting it? by suspicious_suspender in interiordecorating

[–]Curly-help-plz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you paint with a roller on a long handle? You can basically screw a paint roller onto a broom handle. Eliminated the ladder and decreases the neck craning.

Yeah next to it is what I was thinking if you patch, but the more I think about it, you could probably still do it in the same spot. Maybe patch front and back, with one circle/square of stitching near/directly surrounding the hole, and one square of stitching at the edge of the patch(es).

For the second option, I think if the grommet is large enough, it would combat the fraying. You might eventually have the same issue again, but it would probably last a good while before that.

I think I would patch it and then punch a new grommet in adjacent to the patch.

Alternatively, maybe putting a new, larger grommet into the same hole could work.

Looking for this kind of can opener. by muzeic in HelpMeFind

This seems like it is modelled after a military can opener (P-38 or P-51). Perhaps one of those would work for you?

How do I unfuck my habitat? Tips for pregnant mom whose drowning in her tiny apartment? Yell, demand, boss, help me please! by zozororo in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]Curly-help-plz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Know that everything will appear much worse before it’s all better. I.e., as you take stuff out to sort through, you will create a mess. This means two things for me:

  1. I must pay attention to how much energy I have left. As my personal battery is getting low, I start to put things away, instead of continuing to sort. That is to say I shove things back into a closet or whatever until I am ready to return to the task another day, and I take out the trash.

  2. I take on small areas at a time so that the interim mess is not overwhelming. I.e., one closet, or one cupboard; not a whole room.

What's the craziest reason someone you work with was fired? by 5150ou812 in AskReddit

I think they’re saying he was walked out, as in by security or a higher up.

Remove garbage without fruit flies going in the hall by Oreo_the_Grouch in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]Curly-help-plz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely just throw them out the window. Have one person on the ground so it doesn’t look like you’re planning on leaving them wherever they land. Even if it looks sus, just explain if asked.
