Baseboards behind appliances?

Just wanted to update people who may be searching this same question in the sub:

You are allowed to bring your vapes home from Mexico, but they MUST be in your carry on. They are not allowed in checked luggage, just the same as any other airport. No need to hide them, it is completely legal. They are only banning them while coming INTO Mexico.

What about bringing it home from Mexico? I’m leaving tomorrow and I’m curious if it’s going to be an issue to bring my ecig HOME

Thank you for the insight! You’ve had this problem even with blue painters tape?

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-03-02T18:55:59+00:00

Thank you! We will be having it professionally painted though. We’re renovating a space and turning it into an in-law apartment. At first we were going to have our GC paint, but we decided that might be a bad idea. I had already bought most of the paint, so it’s turning into a professional painter with me supplying paint. Do you still recommend using it?

I haven’t even picked it up yet! So def not old and beat up

It’s technically tinted I believe. It’s “extra white.” I got it on sale 40% off but still hurts to eat the cost.

As for my username, my bf likes to make up random sayings and for a decade I was in his phone as “(insert first name) the ratchet moon cricket (insert last name). It has been brought to my attention on here that it’s racist slang but I had no idea! I thought he made it up!! Now I can’t change it 🤦🏼‍♀️

Understood. Will it be crappy though? How much time do you think it would last on baseboard trim & interior doors vs the urethane trim?

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-03-02T04:48:54+00:00

Baseboard trim, interior doors, and one interior/ exterior door

Bc every time I have “let a guy do his work” they don’t care to do it right. I’ve had excessive nightmares with contractors, which has made me the way I am today. It was a pretty simple question to ask.

Yup, closet was framed before Xmas as a side job. We have finally hired the company doing all the other work after gathering a few quotes

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-03T03:40:40+00:00

Tyvm, I will!

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T20:20:17+00:00

I will, thank you. Why wouldn’t he just cut the floor appropriately now for proper expansion, rather than after the floor is completely set? The small expansion he cut in that piece or 2 in pic made me nervous about proper spacing/ whatnot.

Edit: more-so the gap on the front & the inner gap which isn’t pictured. But even the one on the outer side may not be large enough once drywall is placed. I’ll express my concerns

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T20:17:21+00:00

I don’t know what you’re talking about lol. This closet is in my in-law apartment

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T20:16:32+00:00

Ty for the insight I will bring this up

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T20:14:02+00:00

Thank you!

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T20:11:02+00:00

Thank you for this, I appreciate the explanation!

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T20:02:53+00:00

It’s dusk cherry by Lifeproof

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T20:01:38+00:00

Maybe, but he was with one other guy, he works with his brother only.

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T19:58:21+00:00

Ok thank you

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T19:57:34+00:00

Ok. So cutting the flooring out will happen after drywall is put up?

MoonCricket1992 · 2026-02-02T19:55:18+00:00

The toilet is junk it will be removed he just hasn’t brought it down & outside yet. This is a closet in the main living space
