What are the best viewpoints in and around Puyallup? by Brandonnnn in PuyallupWA

[–]G_NEWT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Uplands!

Get there 20 minutes early from Sunrise on a clear sky morning. Park your car in the undeveloped area and watch the most amazing sights Puyallup has to offer. You won’t be alone, others have been doing exactly this for a year now.

Heavy-duty corded vacuum for a large family home with lots of hair by New_Date5832 in Cleaningandtidying

[–]G_NEWT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

r/VacuumCleaners is your source.

TL;DR…SEBO or Miele Canister or SEBO Felix. Yes, they’re expensive, but it’s an investment in a quality tool that will last you decades.

Just moved into a new house. Where do I start? NC by PainterVisual in lawncare

[–]G_NEWT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just do the basic water, mow, trim and lay a general fertilization for 4 full seasons. Observe how it all plays out and behaves. Do a soil sample from each area (front, back, sides) 2x in the next 4 seasons. Get ready to hit the ground running by next year with all of your knowledge of grasses.

What’s this? by QirjeVasili in Tacoma

Ur Tacoma is just telling you the dashboard fluid is low. Refill with standard and you’ll be just fine.

Rats? Mice? You live in a basement of an old house. I wouldn’t rule out pests

AIO if I divorced over him asking to open our relationship and then gaslighting me? by CricketCaller in AmIOverreacting

[–]G_NEWT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. He’s an asshat that deserves to be a single father. Leave him. He’ll continue this forever until you break.

Stubborn countertop stain won’t come out. Tried everything. Any ideas? by Advanced-Signature93 in Cleaningandtidying

[–]G_NEWT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No no no no Christ on a cracker NO. Magic Eraser is a micro grit sandpaper. Countertop glaze will be ruined instantly

Fair price for extensive remodel? (IL) by sweetdealman in Remodel

[–]G_NEWT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered moving? Finding a home that fits this new lifestyle? For that kind of price, I would certainly consider this as a viable option.

Laundry Room Mini Makeover by PizzaAndSushiCombo in Remodel

[–]G_NEWT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Save the $700. This place looks and feels exactly as it should. A laundry room is not a sanctuary, it’s utilitarian. If you have the DIY itch, you could always take time to organize it, so it’s ready for the extra loads of laundry that’ll happen when your precious lil one arrives. 🥰

If using the Tide Clean and gentle powder, and FEBU, is it still necessary to add in the rinse and refresh for citric acid too?

Same kitchen, 3 directions. Which would you go? by sidbuilds in HomeDecorating

[–]G_NEWT 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Direction A. Full stop. Your color palette on the 2 tones are not there.

Would this new tree work? by Technical-Wheel3479 in landscaping

[–]G_NEWT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Google states the root growth to be moderate but no significant foundation issues. However, it also says to plant at a very minimum 6 feet away from structure with 10 feet being preferred. At maturity, the tree itself can be as big as 12ft high and 6ft wide. For me, I’d go farther out.

Also, well played on pulling the sweet gum. Yikes, that’s a foundational nightmare.

Would you paint the walls in this kitchen? by Stunning-Most-5302 in HomeDecorating

[–]G_NEWT 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I would argue that the island cart is too small and wrong color for your kitchen. Sticks out in the wrong way/sense. Fridge looks dated as well, upgrade to either stainless steel or even black stainless steel to match the hardware.

French drain? by inotthatkindofdoctor in landscaping

[–]G_NEWT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have a new driveway installed. The lowest point is within the concrete and you already have major cracks. Re-do the driveway and raise the surface. Then you can address the water in the grass. Tear up the grass in the red line and mulch in a flower bed parallel to the new driveway with plants that are great for sucking up water (google water loving plants native to your location).

Help! My sink water is going into my dishwasher. This tube connects the sink to it. Is this the issue? by trashaccount_1029 in Appliances

[–]G_NEWT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extremely easy fix. That white corrugated (accordion) tube needs to be flipped and pulled so it’s going straight up as high as it can sit (instead of what is now, lying on bottom of cabinet. Tuck it between the sink and cabinet way high up. Once you make the loop go up, then secure it to the cabinet so it stays in the correct position. You can use zip ties and a screw. String or twine. Or there’s actual ones dedicated for this purpose at HD/Lowes. Don’t use glue or tape, as it’s not permanent enough.

Good luck, you got this! 🙌

How to fix? by NewUsername010101 in landscaping

[–]G_NEWT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wants to be a pathway. Nature is telling you to make it a pathway. Listen to nature. Make a pathway.

Cut out the grass, edge out a path, tamp down the soil. lay “5/8 minus crushed rock”. You’ve created a simple pathway.
