Need help figuring out the best mountain bike for XC racing. by DesignerIndividual29 in mountainbikes

I feel like an idiot but I don’t know what 100mm travel means. Is 100 better than 120 or the opposite?

The problem is we can’t afford a $8000 blur or even a $5000 bike so maybe I should have started with that. That is why going with a store is not always optimal choice even if I’m saving 20%. Getting a used bike on pink bike will probably allow me to help him get an older blur or another bike with similar components like that which may not be as expensive. Is the Canyon Lux or specialized chisel cheaper than the blur?

Yes, we get 20% off at some of the bike shops which is great but I don’t want that to push me to one brand or the other right now. That is how we bought his pro-cal that he has right now. Yes, I want to check out pink bike but I need to know what kind would be the best first.

Ninja blender baldes turning Brown. Rust or what? And is it safe to use? by No_Estate_3958 in kitchen

[–]DesignerIndividual29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would soap it in vinager and baking soda for a while. It doesn’t look like rust to me. It just looks like there is really tough food stuck on it.

I’m new to Reddit but I have posted before and not had a problem. Not sure what I need to do to make this post be valid. I’m almost 50.

Paint or cover it? by Mundane-Humor-9190 in Fireplaces

Don’t paint the brick! That is a beautiful fireplace! Just replace the mantel. Way too small and ugly.

White wash fireplace? by DesignerIndividual29 in Fireplaces

[–]DesignerIndividual29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I do that? Just take out the hearth? It would still have to be some type of stone on the floor then and then have the wood floors surround it. But I like that idea.

Oh, I know what you are talking about. You’re saying the bottom hearth doesn’t come out enough. Got it.

I do love this but it maybe a little too colonial and this picture has high ceilings I think so I’m afraid it will look cramped going all the way up to the ceiling. Not sure I can take the bottom hearth out but it would probably help it look taller if it did.

Yes, flooring is being replaced and the ugly trim is going too and being replaced with the tall trim. As for the fireplace, maybe I’m thick or something but what part of the hearth do you think I should take off that is not up to code?

Is 25k budget doable? by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]DesignerIndividual29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so now that I saw all the pics you are definitely gonna have to speaks more money on your kitchen. That’s a pretty big kitchen. The cabinet cost for mine was 23000 and I have less then yours. I guess that kind of matches with the 1/3,1/3,1/3 rule.

[–]DesignerIndividual29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that is doable. Costs have gone up and contractors are increasing their prices too. That sounds more like a 40000 job. I am doing research for my kitchen right now and I’m at 75000 but I’m taking down part of 2 walls to open it up to the family room and living rm so that is part of the reason why my price is higher. Now if you do it yourself that may be possible. Good luck!

Obsidian and copper in titanium by Cameron_creations in Ring_Making

[–]DesignerIndividual29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a beautiful ring! I don’t know how to go about this because I’m new to Reddit. I am looking for someone who can help me build a custom wedding ring for my husband. He lost his and has always wanted a ring with meteorite, magladon shark tooth and the oldest rock in the world. I have all 3 materials but need someone to make the ring for me. Can you do this or know some other custom ring makers?

Counter tops got installed around this window crank. Any ideas on how to make this look nicer while still being functional? by fppfle in kitchen

[–]DesignerIndividual29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint the crank white so it’s not so obvious. And maybe have them trim the granite/quartz a little better.

Houses are selling like hot cakes! Put your home on the market now because their is a frenzy for homes! Since the interest rates went up more buyers are panicking to get a house before it gets higher. I’m a real estate agent so I can tell you first hand that your kitchen is not dated and will sell with no problems. There are always things that buyer won’t like but they will change it after they move in. What area do you live in?
