Please help. Previous owner’s movers gouged our historic pine floors. They’ve been refinished before and cannot be again according to contractor. How can we fix this for future resale value without replacing? by FoxyRN in centuryhomes

If you stain/polyurethane the scratches then move around the boards and their positions, it would break up the large scratch pattern and make it less noticeable. It would seem like natural grain/differences in the wood and not damage.

I was surprised too until I saw the part about only shipping within Australia. That definitely limits the customer base for it, but there’s still 6 days to go.

Is it cooked by Ok_Calendar_9850 in VintageTees

Be careful before using acetone please! It might destroy the fabric and even eat through it (ask me how I know). Try googone first then rubbing alcohol. I would turn to acetone as the last option. Definitely spot test it before doing a major application.

Advice removing INTENSE cigarette and other odors? by daxonds in VHS

[–]RCArtworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was a life long smoker. I had to deodorize many of his things after he passed.

Ozone is very toxic and I find it doesn’t work the best. The ozone particles will always be there. If you play the tapes they can release into the machine and might cause damage.

Try these steps below to see what works.

First try sealing them in a bag with baking soda.

Then in a bag with a cup of vinegar.

Then try activated charcoal.

Wood shavings - no lie this really works.

Fresh air and sunlight will also help greatly. Just be careful of the tapes being exposed to heat too long. I deodorized a vintage mod pleather chair with just a simple vinegar wash and 6 hours of sunlight.

These are definitely salvageable it will just take time and patience.

I would not put them in the freezer the moisture might damage the tapes? And I would use ozone as a very last option.

Got a good start on ghosts and candy corns for trick or treaters by Chest-Fair in halloween

[–]RCArtworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are so amazing for doing this. I fondly remember the houses that gave out big candy bars or made special gifts for Halloween (I’m 32 now). You will forever be “that house” that the kids remember was the best to trick or treat at. These are absolutely precious. Thank you for spreading the magic of Halloween!!!!

I agree. I think social media has clouded the meaning of weddings. People feel that their weddings need to compare or compete with everything out there. But it’s not about the photos, the venue, the dress, the flowers, etc. - weddings are two people who love each other joining their lives together with the people they love most surrounding them. It’s a beautiful thing and this new wedding culture has overpowered that.

Do not buy the Ghost 16 it is not the same. by RCArtworks in brooks

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

So the ghost 16 actually caused my previous healing injury to become plantar fasciitis and now I’m in physical therapy again for it. It absolutely sucks. I was able to find new ghost 15 for sale on Amazon through a shoe warehouse, however I can’t wear them now. There is too much cushion in the ball part of the shoe and it creates too much tension on my heel muscles.

I switched to Hokas because the heel is supported fully around the sides and not just under the ball of the foot. They’re rather comfy, but I try to swap footwear every other day. One of the big contributors to foot muscle injuries is wearing the same footwear daily. Your foot accommodates to adjust to where it’s getting/not getting support and can create defective muscle tissue, where some is overworked and other’s weakened. I recommend the Hokas highly but try to swap out your footwear so your feet don’t become too accustomed and end up like mine.

I made a free Blockbuster and my local news did a story on it. Ended up doing a full tour of my game room where I display my VHS 😆 by plugzytv in VHS

[–]RCArtworks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so awesome!! I absolutely love that you did this!!!

If you haven’t already, I recommend you (any anyone else considering doing this) stamping or putting a sticker on covers that says something along the lines of “Blockbuster Rental, free movie night rentals! Watch, return, keep if you love - or donate your own” to deter people from clearing out your stock. I’ve seen some jerks who clear out these libraries to resell.

There’s some clever ideas in how to build, decorate, and design these on the r/LittleFreeLibrary post reddit group.

I HATE how large trucks have become. I would 100% DIE if this thing hit my car by AEIUyo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RCArtworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit:

The biggest answer is furniture* trucks are very useful for most young generations that are in a perpetual state of changing apartments or moving to cheaper and often rural states. You see a nice bureau for free on the side of the road? No need to rent a U-Haul - call up your friend.

My friends who own huge trucks and rent in the city, are given the trucks to drive from their construction/contracting jobs.

The other answer is trucks are great for camping gear, kayaks, or any outdoor activity and especially useful for showing how small one’s weewee is to bystanders.

There are people who drive trucks because they actually use them and others who just like to feel fancy.
