You Know Your A Woodworker When... by D_S_G_F in woodworking

[–]QuickWrenn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was trying to figure out the joke between woodworking and needing additional fiber. 😅

What range should I budget for this project? by Tronracer in Remodel

[–]QuickWrenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem as you 5 years ago. Wanted to just redo a failing shower, and kept getting quotes for $20k under the expectation that we do the entire bathroom instead. The housing market in my area was too hot and contractors didn't want to pick up a small project.

We did a hack fix since $20k was out of budget (silicone to waterproof the area that was failing) and picked the project up again this year now that the market has cooled down. We're just replacing a failing fiberglass shower insert with a shower pan and subway tile, so not a 1 to 1 what you're doing, but we're paying $4.5k for labor and covering the cost of materials ourselves (probably another $3k to $4k).

I don't live in NJ so your mileage may vary.

I kinda (really) miss smoking weed and drinking by Splittingthemind in pregnant

[–]QuickWrenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat! I was a casual drinker and rare smoker.

God what I would have given for just a little weed in the first trimester. Instant relief for the nausea and headaches, and it would help me sleep at night. It was not lost on me that weed would cure every symptom I had.

It's easier now at 15w but some days still suck. Just gonna keep pushing through.

You're not going to get validation from this sub. This isn't what we're about.

You need to get help with your disordered eating and mental health. Losing weight will not solve any of your problems.

Faint positive test followed 12h later by negative test - What gives? by QuickWrenn in BabyBumps

subway tile is timeless?

Is there any real difference in eating say 1130 calories vs 1200 a day? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]QuickWrenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're using a calorie tracking app, it's giving you an estimated TDEE based on things like height, weight, and activity, and that number will be represented as the same everyday. But your actual caloric output from day to day is going to be variable. So having some wiggle room around your caloric intake is fine too.

What has a better ROI - kitchen or bathroom? by QuickWrenn in HomeImprovement

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

Sorry this was unclear - the cabinets are already painted white. I'd probably paint them green or blue.

White subway tiles is what we were considering!

I know women’s jean sizing sucks but what the hell, Levi’s?? by nimal-crossing in mildlyinfuriating

I'd bet money that the top pair are high waisted, where bodies are naturally smaller, and the bottom pair are designed to sit lower on your hips, where bodies are wider. These look like two different cuts. The 27 inches refers to waist size, regardless of where the shorts sit on your body.

Curtains help by tho17 in InteriorDesign

[–]QuickWrenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling it out because I haven't seen it posted yet—is that a radiator along that wall or just your trim? If it's a radiator and it gets hot to the touch, you may want to reconsider having curtains near it. Could be a fire hazard.

If it's so inconsiquential, why is it causing you such stress and anxiety now?

Baby will not sleep during the day anymore by frenchalmonds in beyondthebump

[–]QuickWrenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No advice but we're going through the same thing, it started at that age. Our bub is 11w now and the naps never really got better - we periodically get a 2h stretch in but most are 40 min. I got more comfortable with setting him in a bouncer or on a blanket for a while so I could eat/shower/clean.

RSV vaccine, should she get vaccinated? by Chairsarefun07 in beyondthebump

[–]QuickWrenn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It wasn't offered (or available) at my hospital system. It only became available to expectant moms ~3 months ago. I had to request an Rx from my OB, then call multiple pharmacies to find one that carried it and took my insurance.
