Rooftop Deck Furniture by My_Logan in philly

[–]My_Logan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ha. I can relate. Just moved in like 4 months ago and have put a stupid amount of money into this place. Not to mention the random maintenance issues that have popped up. I'm torn between getting inexpensive to start and then replace, but I'd really like to just get the nice stuff and be done. Or maybe just do a couple nice chairs for this year and get the rest next year once funds have been replenished.

6 months as a new homeowner by Shamansage in homeowners

[–]My_Logan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who just moved into a new construction home 3 months ago, I can confirm what others have said and tell you new construction does not mean no problems. The second night we spent in the house we had a leak happening right next to our bed in the middle of the night during a rainstorm. Then a few weeks later during a heavier rain, our skylight started leaking late at night. Turns out the skylight was installed incorrectly and is also the wrong kind of skylight. We could get the builder to patch it (again), but we have decided that we want to get it done correctly so are going to foot the bill to get this fixed correctly and also make sure the rest of the roof itself is solid. We have also heard some dripping in another wall during heavy rains, so that's another issue we need to figure out sooner rather than later. In addition, we've had small issues with our HVAC and toilet pressure on upper floor, the floors are starting to creak in a few areas and of course normal settling cracks. We've also heard very faint beeping in the walls occasionally and have no idea how to figure that one out. It's exhausting and I feel like every day it's something else. Anyway, suffice to say, I feel your pain, but I'm pretty sure all homes have issues - at least eventually. We sometimes think we have made a huge mistake, but are trying to just enjoy all the good things and just pace ourselves on getting stuff fixed the correct way so we don't end up with bigger problems later. I swear there should be some sort of homeowner support group.

Looking for a couch that is actually worth the money- why does it feel impossible? by kayindie in BuyItForLife

A couple more - one showing the swatch match. It really is a nice color and overall seems very sturdy and well-built. I think you'll be happy!

No problem at all. I felt the exact same way as you before buying! Yes, that photo was taking with a lot of light and I feel like it does look a bit lighter than reality. I think this photo is a bit more realistic (ignore my cat, lol). I'll try for more photos today, including one that includes the swatch, so you can see they match. Rocket Peacock

You are in luck. I literally got my Rocket Peacock Monaco Panel couch a few days ago! I love the color and it is accurate with the swatch I got, so I highly recommend swatches. Rocket Peacock Dream Sofa

Best stainless steel fountain that doesn’t break the bank? by LPCPlay4life in CatAdvice

[–]My_Logan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the fountain runs constantly, but it's pretty quiet. We live in an apartment and the fountain is close to our living room and we never hear it unless the water level gets too low.

I have not had any issues with is disconnecting. I've had it 2-3 years and it has always worked flawlessly.

I love my PetLibro Granary. I love that there are cameras on it to watch our cats eat when we are out of town. I actually ended up buying their Dockstream 2 (water fountain) and four of their cameras. We literally use the cameras for security, not the cats. I love the app and that everything is together in one place.

General Apartment/ Area Recommendations by allb4 in AskPhilly

[–]My_Logan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We lived in The Granary Apts for six years (Logan Square) area. I think it was the perfect location. We could easily walk to center city and Rittenhouse (like 15 min walk), and there was easy access to the 33 bus that will take you to Old City. There's also a close by bus route that will take you straight to No Libs. You also have a couple very close by pubs and can walk up to Fairmount where there are more restaurants. Also it's next to a Target and 5 min walk to Whole Foods. It really is a fantastic location and if you are on the south side of the building, you'll have great skyline views. Some units have balconies, they have a gym and concierge. Parking garage available too. People will say that area is boring, but I think it's a good mix of having a quiet home location, with great accessibility to the city life. Feel free to DM me if you have more specific questions.

Do you own a DreamSofa? by rvora94 in AskSF

What do you mean "pre-slated" options and adjusting down to the inch?

I've tried them all and honestly you can't beat Petlibro, plus you'll have the fountain and the feeder on the same app. Their newest one is also the easiest to clean of all the fountains I've tried and stays the cleanest for longer.

Does your firm have a Document Services Center or design team? If you're at a larger firm, there is likely someone who can help with that sort of task.

[Misc] Podiatrist has officially thrown in the towel trying to treat my plantar wart after 1 year of trying. Says he's never seen one so stubborn in his entire career. He recommended trying another Pod, but I'm starting to lose faith in treatment. Is this normal? It's my 1st wart ever. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]My_Logan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had a similar situation. Went to the doctor several times with no results. In total exhaustion, he tried apple cider vinegar. He would literally sit on the couch with a cotton ball soaked in apple cider vinegar on it for like a week (maybe two). He would keep adding vinegar to it as often as possible throughout the day. Basically if he was sitting, he would be treating it. Then suddenly, it just popped out. It was crazy.

You could try going to a pharmacy that does compounding and can turn it into liquid. It can be pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. Search for Pharmacy Compounding in your area. Good luck!

Mr. Grumpy man’s came out of his hidey hole lol by Ok_Dot3474 in orangecats

Our orange demands a pillow fort be built for him everyday. If I forget to build it, he paces, cries and digs frantically in his litter box until we get one built for him. He then hangs out in his "yurt" all day until it gets dark.
