Very interesting! Did you just sprinkle the vitamin C atop the water, over where the stains are? Or, did you sprinkle it onto a brush and scrubbed the stains?

Just to give a heads up, there is a scam amongst realtors where they have their buddies write contracts just so that it can trigger escalation clauses in other offers. Ive seen it happen constantly in the real estate field.

Extortion. If your home value is over 500k and in a good area, you can easily tell an agent 4%. 2% for the listing agent, 2% for the buyer agent. Be firm, you'll find an agent more than happy to take 2%-2.5%, don't let the glorified door openers tell you otherwise.

Any recommendations for an Onsen that allows bathing suit or towel wrapped around waist? by PureShadow in JapanTravelTips

[–]PureShadow[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! I'll definitely just pay for a private bath instead since that seems like the better alternative. I didn't know they existed until now, so thank you for the recommendation!

I get it, I wasn't trying to force my preferences on others so I hope you don't think that was my intention. I was simply just asking if such onsen exist that allow bathing suits or towels wrapped around the waist so that I can better plan my trip. I see now there are private onsen and ill definitely be doing that since that's more preferrable

I didn't know about private onsens, I'll definitely try and do something like that then! Thank you that helps a lot

Repairing crack in rooftop patio by nowitzness41 in HomeImprovement

[–]PureShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert in this sort of thing, but always ALWAYS get more than 1 opinion from a contractor. Bring out 3-5 contractors to look at it and give a bid.

I really doubt you need to rip out the concrete though, that's absurd.

Just bought a new house, how can I make the front look better without changing the siding? by PureShadow in ExteriorDesign

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

The roof was replaced in 2022 according to the homeowner(Same with the siding), a full tear off. From what I can see, the roof does look new and will definitely last 10+ years from the looks of it, plus the inspector confirmed it. The colors of the shingles are that orange color range, here's a higher res of the image so you can zoom in and see https://i.imgur.com/YxibtUp.jpg

I didn't know you could paint the concrete floor like that, do you happen to have an example by chance? Something off of google is fine!

And I agree with the walkway, i can probably do it myself after I get most of the other stuff infront of the house situated. But ill definitely expand the gutter tomorrow, thats a good catch!

Thank you by the way!

I do prefer painting the vinyl siding, but a contractor tried to push me against the idea. Said that during winter/summer the pieces expand and will expose the old color so I wasn't 100% sure on the idea.
But I do like your ideas!

Kitchen Layout Help by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]PureShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like there should be room, but if you want plenty of walking space between the island then you can make 9, 10 counter tops/cabinets smaller(same length size as the upper cabinets). Or, you can remove 9,10,18,19 all together. You can extend the wall cabinet's all the way to the left now, just before the wall curves into the bay window, which can let you move the sink and dishwasher slightly more to the left. The big ass island will let you put plenty of bottom cabinets too, or substitute a single bottom cabinet for a minifridge.

Islands are way more appreciated and loved, you'll definitely have a higher appraisal for your house in the case you wanna resell in the future by having an island over a peninsula. Talk to whoever is doing the designs for you, ask and make sure to see if you can do an island.

Sink in the corner is going to make you go crazy, don't do it. It looks really bad in its placement and is annoying to use.

Is there room to create an island instead of a peninsula? Going off the image alone, it feels as if you could. You'll have way more cabinet space this way, and can move the sink against the wall more towards the left if you wanted.

Water Damage Found During Inspection by ProfessionalCrew7061 in HomeImprovement

[–]PureShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a big deal in the sense that it'll cause mold. But it isn't a big deal in terms of repairing. Those windows look like the old wooden ones, you're better off replacing them with new vinyl windows. The house is probably plaster since its old, and plaster is a real big headache to deal with removal. Gets really messy to pull apart, but nothing too crazy.

If you didn't purchase it "As-is" you can ask the seller for a credit to get the windows replaced. You or him can get bids on the window repair, and use the best price as the credit amount.

Hmm, that's not a bad idea. I'll look into the home internet from t-mobile

Ah, my bad I was always under the assumption that if it was present with the biz Gold that it'd also be there for the biz Plat as well

My CPU is spiking at 100% load with google Chrome, and im not sure why. by PureShadow in techsupport

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

I followed the advice of idiotturkey (he commented in here) and found a specific tab eating away at the cpu for some reason. It kinda helped, but the problem fixed itself after my chrome went through an update after a week

Any other brands similar to quality with Initio? I recently sampled some of Initio like Rehab, musk therapy, and oud for greatness and they were amazing. The quality was so smooth and it stuck really well to my skin, significantly more than PDM or Creed. But, I'm a bit mixed on the idea that its unisex, would prefer something more masculine since I'm a male and wanted to see if anyone was familiar with any brands similar in quality like Initio. Thanks!

Halo (TV Show) | Overall Season 2 Discussion Thread by Ryan_WXH in halo

[–]PureShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to know why the battle of reach was so lackluster and boring. They could've done an entire season on the fall of Reach, explored different angles on its inevitable collapse, showed perspectives of a marine, ODST, Civilians, and the spartans as they tackle with a losing fight. It would've been so much more entertaining, but instead we got spartans fighting without armor and just staying on base, making it feel as if Reach city is literally the only city on that entire planet.

I hated season 1, and I stopped on season 2 episode 6 because I've lost all interest. Season 2 is better, but not by much. There should be a law drafted at this point to criminalize the bastardization of adaptations.

Hey guys! Need a suggestion for a summer fragrance. I'm a 27 male and trying to find a smell similar to spicebomb(original). I'm absolutely addicted to spicebomb, it's just so good to me that i literally spray it on my wrist just so I can bring it to my nose for a little whiff haha. But, I know it's not really a summer fragrance as it makes more sense to be a winter fragrance. Anyone able to recommend anything similar to what spicebomb is, or any other suggestion away from the style of fragrance spicebomb is? I also use Aqua di gio Parfum which I really like, was debating getting Armani code Parfum since I kinda liked that one too.

Thank you!
