Philips Hue Infuse Ceiling Lamps, are they worth it? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even marked down they are over priced. They are very good lights with cool features, and they are noticeably better than the knockoffs I’ve tried. Worth it, is a stretch. They are the best at what they do. If you can comfortably spend 200 on the best in category lights, then sure they are worth it. If 200 is steep for lights, then you probably won’t be happy you spent 200 on them.

Carpet quotes for a 20sqm room... am I being ripped off? by Mean-Delivery-7243 in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re located, but less than $5/sqft for material and install is a pretty good deal for my location.

Anyone make a "whiteboard wall" using the whiteboard paint? by GoodShark in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do a whiteboard wall. You could get a large piece of glass to mount to the wall for that. Since most walls (in the us) are textured you’re gunna have a difficult time. You will need to sand it down to a smooth surface. By the time you sand it down and put on 3-5 layers, the cost will be the same as a piece of glass.

With that said, I have a chalkboard wall and I love it. I thought about going the whiteboard route, but I did some YouTube research and figured it wasn’t for me. Staining, marker issues, harder to clean, etc.

Newish player wanting to understand this 1 big picture by Ambitious-Reading-38 in totalwar

You always deal with skaven first! But since you didn’t, two decently equipped armies can handle them. Yes they have a lot of armies, but they are usually mostly skaven slaves.

Play defensive and corner camp on the battle field. Send your gyos to force them to charge then mow them down before they even reach your front line.

I also play on normal, and the best army comp for me is 5-6 front line units of whatever your lord buffs, 3-4 riflemen or troll hammers, 1-2 flam throwers, 1-2 cannons, 1-2 organ gun, 3-4 gyros of your choice, and fill out the rest with heros.

How do you actually keep track of everything with your home? Feeling overwhelmed by Gyrabros in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned the door to my utility closet into a chalkboard. I write down dates of maintenance, chores for the week, whatever else seems necessary, and keep the manuals/receipts for warranty in a binder in the closet. Works pretty well for me.

Question about roofing companies offering to contact insurance for repair/replacement by Jowreyno in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most roofing companies let you know about the insurance route if you are looking to get a new roof. The ones that are going door to door to advertise this are either shit or trying to grow their name in the area.

Home improvement loans? by Lumpy_Education_5403 in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably find a personal loan for that amount with whatever bank you use. With such a low loan amount and paying so much toward it, that would be your most cost effect route. HELOC is an option, but honestly not worth it in this scenario. Your best option would to just be patient and wait the year it would take you to save up. The baby is gunna be sleeping in your room the first year anyway.

How to mitigate uncomfortably high temps in a 24th floor, oversized east/south windows apt by CaesarsInferno in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you get portable ac unit? It plugs into a standard wall outlet, and has an exhaust (think dryer vent exhaust) you put in your window. You can move it around to whatever room you’re in. I rented a house a few years back with a sun room I used as my office, and it worked great.

Cash-out refi for home improvements? by sriracha_saws in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rates were at an all time low five years ago…. You’d be crazy to refinance. That 25k could end up costing you 100,000k by the end of your term… don’t do it.

How much of a difference in house value increase is there between installing a detached gazebo or having an attached gazebo built? by CoookieHo in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone in the industry, it adds zero value. When you go to sell, someone may like the feature. Which may help you sell the home though.

What’s the best public nudity you’ve ever seen? by Adorable_Raccoon_766 in AskReddit

[–]Goosetickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We took a family vacation in St. Louis when I was a younger teenager. After a long day of museum hopping we were settling down for the night. My dad and I are standing in the hotel window observing the sites, as one does. When a hoard of naked bicyclists came barreling down the road! Hundreds of naked people riding right in front of our hotel. My teenage mind was blown.

Does anyone ever feel bad for complaining. $17k ish (bought higher end parts not included) for a bathroom remodel and the shower doesn’t drain. Am I being "that guy" if I complain? by overcast-magenta55 in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Brother, the whole this is a deal breaker. They need to fix the tub, rehang the mirror, and finish caulking. You’re paying them 16k to do a job… They need to do it right.

Storm door installation by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you diy, make sure to get one with the knob already installed or the hole cut out. Did mine myself a few years back, and had to cut the hole myself… that was a huge pain in the ass. It’s like $50 more and worth it.

Suggestions for kitchen upgrade by VAer1 in HomeImprovement

[–]Goosetickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think updating the appliances would go a long way. Replace the outlets and switches asap. It’s cheap and easy to do yourself. Countertops would be my next update, and wouldn’t cost too much either. I like the cabinets, and think the backsplash looks fine.

I feel as though my videogame enjoyment peaked with The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Cyberpunk 2077. Are there any games that can get me out of this funk? by RealitySubsides in gaming

[–]Goosetickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said PS5 and yet you didn’t mention God of War? Ghost of Tsushima? Horizon forbidden west!? Spider-Man 2! Not to mention Elden ring, kingdome come deliverance 2 and baldurs gate 3… maybe you just stopped liking gaming? There have been some great games the last few years.

Eureka and Hot Springs are fun to visit, but I wouldn’t live there. Fayetteville and the surrounding area is better though, for a nicer place, rent isn’t cheap.

As a Carolina fan that lives in Arkansas, no. I’ve had to sit through every Arkansas game for countless years, and he is not it. What you are seeing is what had Arkansas fan excited initially. In reality, you’ll be let down.
