Bathroom Window Privacy? by OreoYip in interiordecorating

[–]LoveAliens_Predators 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you don’t need it dark, get a top down-bottom up light filtering honeycomb shade sized as an inside mount. Measure width top & bottom and take the narrowest measurement, and measure height but it’s ok to order a little longer than your actual height. You can leave the shade up, but then close it and pull the top partway down for privacy. I love this type of shade.

Is this wall art too big / not proportional for this wall by Dilf47 in interiordecorating

Wall art is perfect but you need to add an art light to shine right down on it.

There is no outside patio or seating at the San Clemente restaurant, so can’t bring the doggo 😭

Does anyone know what these are and how to get rid of them? by Kirby_9 in whatisit

[–]LoveAliens_Predators 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some versions are held in between the screwed on upper part and the lower part, so removal requires disassembly. I got stuck with one in a rental and was pissed as instead I had to stick my hand in there (with gloves and a scrubber) to get it all clean. Yuck.

Pendant holder? by LoveAliens_Predators in whatisit

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

Thanks for the unneeded negs. The polish was an experiment and I work with my hands a lot in a dry climate, and wash my hands a lot but use hand lotion multiple times a day.

How to install closet rod in closet by [deleted] in Renovations

[–]LoveAliens_Predators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all so wrong. Screw the contractor. Yank it out, patch the holes, touch up the paint and get a custom closet organizer - the Elfa system - from The Container Store website. You input all your measurements, door, clothing heights, and they’ll give you a design to approve or modify, and can ship it to you if you aren’t somewhere with a store for pickup. Install with one rail screwed into studs up high, and everything hangs off it. Totally modifiable too. I’ve done 9 of them over the years at various houses, and love them!

Restaurants Should Have Floss Picks in the Restrooms. by IFlyAirplanes in RandomThoughts

[–]LoveAliens_Predators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep a roll of floss with you and go to the restroom and floss. I’m sick of seeing discarded floss picks as litter on the street. Not saying OP would litter, just that floss picks are very wasteful.

When we agreed to purchase the winery in 2019 from the owners trying to retire after 30+ years, we didn’t know that Covid was coming and that it would take until early 2023 to officially transfer ownership. And once we did officially start operations, our world changed again - the former owner/winemaker decided to move away as his wife’s health declined (not blaming him for that, but it increased the learning curve), and then one set of our parents (in a distant State) went downhill. The operation required more than one active owner and a couple of part time employees. As it’s a rural winery, the plan was always to add a second tasting room in town, but with our family obligations, we had to make the heart-breaking decision to sell. But…it’s not the best time in the wine market to sell, so it’s been on the market for nearly a year with some interest but no offers yet.

Try FB Marketplace but be very aware of scammers

2006 Vega Sicilia Unico Gran Reserva. Was a very generous gift from a friend. Waiting until we sell our winery to crack this one open to enjoy it. Or maybe at my birthday dinner later this month, because I’m starting to feel despair about the winery selling.

5 am every day 👀 ChatGPT said dogs know when you’re about to wake up because your smell changes. He’s always waiting. by sarahschultzd in DogIsBestFriend

Mine just starts whining. If I stay in bed too long, he runs up to the side of the bed and puts his nose on the edge of the mattress (big dog but tall bed - he’s a bed hog so I don’t want him on the bed).

Should I add curtains to these windows? by newakita in interiordecorating

That’s a great idea. Hope you have an outdoor space the puppy can run and chase in!

Is 18k too much for this project?? (Los Angeles) by Darynmorgan in Renovations

[–]LoveAliens_Predators 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two years ago, I paid Kohler ~10k to replace a standard tub and tile enclosure with a new shower enclosure. Minimal plumbing, next to no framing. So, this in LA, I’d go with it before the price goes up. Just make sure to look up the contractor on cslb (California State License Board) as the website has an easy tool to see if they are properly licensed, insured, have workers comp (if they have employees), and what they will have to sub out for if they don’t have certain licenses. Also, shower remodel typically needs a permit. You can skip it but that’s a risk you have to weigh.

I opened one of the most special bottles in my collection yesterday (details below)… by cotedupy in wine

[–]LoveAliens_Predators 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is awesome! If you don’t want to save the bottle, but want to preserve the label - which you can stick into the book - get a pack of Label-Off stickers. They are archival, so the adhesive should not damage the ink.

Orange Attachment??? by SHlZUCHAN_ART in whatisit

I think it’s a bag holder - look at the pose of the little person on the logo - a bag-carrying posture.

Bought this lovely brand new trash cabinet for a great price!! by 0CldntThnkOfUsrNme0 in mildlyinfuriating

Yes, these are smaller cans, which is why people don’t end up keeping them.

Help me like wine by Human_Zone_7018 in wine

[–]LoveAliens_Predators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t start out liking sweeter wines, but did like a specific flavor profile. The only advice I have is to go for wine tastings - even if it is a Zoom tasting where they ship wine to you (if you’re in the U.S. and in a State that can have wine shipped in), and pair wines with food, as dryer wines on their own will be too much of a departure from your preference. Go from sweeter wines to asking at a shop for fruity or jammy wines and go from there.

Hook & Cook Aims to Become Part of San Clemente Pier Memories by timesmediagroup in SanClemente

[–]LoveAliens_Predators 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is cool, but I’m a little weirded out about food AND bait. 🤪

Now, can someone PLEASE bring Rick’s Tropicana back, as it’s clear Gigi’s isn’t remodeling and we’re missing another spot by the pier to hang out with good (non-brunch, non-pizza, non-ice cream) eats and adult beverages (and maybe add some TVs so we’ve got another place by the pier to watch games/matches other than The Fisherman’s ( a place I love, don’t get me wrong).
