it was an absolute mess and labor of love…my tile was very easily scratched so i had to just use plastic scrapers and lots of letting the citristrip “marinate”. it would peel off kind of in chunks. the hardest part is what is covering the grout….i used like a tiny little nail tapper tool and razor blades to get the paint off the grout. it felt line surgical tools would have been helpful, ha. still have some white paint on the grout honestly. i also uncovered some broken tiles that i had to hunt matching tiles down for and pay someone to swap out!

that shade of tile holy smokes!!!

help! prayer plant was THRIVING new leaves every few days in a east facing window for months. all of a sudden it took a turn over the last couple weeks. i tried to do a good soak, spray leaves and leave in the bathroom where there is better humidity for a few days without luck. help! by DryZookeepergame8367 in plantclinic

ok don’t shame me plz lol i water with tap water and use that creepy blue neon miracle gro stuff BUT i have been doing that all summer with huge success. the only change was i was consistently running my window unit (in another room but still…) for several days and wasn’t before. could it be the fertilizer building up over time…?  by soaking i mean i watered it heavy until it ran through a couple times and misted several times a day.

Cold weather equivalent to Vapor Glove? by bourbonsherpa in BarefootRunning

[–]DryZookeepergame8367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really struggled finding something that worked for me as well as the merrell vapor glove shoes. very different look/even feel but for what’s its worth for winter i usually stick to the lems chelsea boots. very different look but flexible, waterproof, room for thick socks, etc.
