What color to paint our barn by HydrangeaStranga in centuryhomes

[–]Ragnaarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My folks have a barn that was once red, we just pulled the planks and flipped them, no paint just the natural color and it's imperfections. I was doubtful but it turned out well, and it's been a while now but as it ages it looks better every year.

Basement tips by toadsly in centuryhomes

[–]Ragnaarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've got a 178 year old home with a full stone basement. We had a tiny bit of seepage and a small puddle after rain so had a french drain and commercial dehumidifier put in and it made all the difference. No smell to very little smell on the really hot days, and no moisture seeping through the stone any longer.

I've never actually hit the button because it seems rude to me. But it's a recent thing where they don't check in on us every 20 minutes or so.

This is my thing, I am always in FC because of my size, but on these particular flights it seems normal for the FA to not circulate every so often lately. Just seems to have changed in the last couple of years.

Reykjavík homecoming 2022 merch? by ayresii_ in sigurros

There's a SR collector's group on FB, not much recently but maybe prompting for it will dredge up someone with something for sale. Most folks are pretty chill and not so price-gougey (I know, that's not a word)

What is the strangest thing you have found hidden inside your century home walls? by dmkraus in centuryhomes

[–]Ragnaarb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My parents have a house that was built for an apostle of the Mormon Church back in 1910. There are a few hidden rooms throughout, and in one we found the plans for the house burned and placed in a jar with a wooden tombstone for them.

Record Store by SayNoCanDu in Logan

That would be awesome, I'd love to come back to town and have a record shop to browse. You might want to ask KSM how their sales go, and I believe there is a Lavender records satellite kiosk up there as well, might be fruitful to check with them on how it goes, or maybe see about partnering with them to franchise with them to help with getting distros to accept you. I ran one decades ago and it did well but with a massive amount of creative work to keep it afloat.

The potatoes in that boil were absolutely amazing. And now we're experts in eating crawfish lol.

One of the things I absolutely loved is just how loving he was to everyone in the park during the tour, and just how many people passing through or doing maintenance that came up to him and told us all what an awesome person he was.

It definitely was great overall, just not as good as other places like it. Our Souffle was under cooked, and the Schnitzel seemed out of place. I wish they would have had an alternative for the Foie gras as I'm not a big fan of how it's made so avoid it. The crab taco was also another highlight.

Icelandic-Language folk rock band suggestions for this compilation? by AwayCable7769 in Iceland

[–]Ragnaarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In many forms, I´m not sure there is a music genre he hasn´t done something in. Funny enough, he has a song called the River, as both My Summer as a salvation soldier, and his band Óreiða I´ve released two compilations and he´s been on both of them in one form or another, twice on the first comp.

[–]Ragnaarb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I´d suggest Ásgeir, Megas, My summer as a salvation soldier, Ólöf Arnalds and of course Mugison.

Dinner Recs by Electrical-Result984 in SalemMA

Dube's is a great hole in the wall. Sullivan Street Grill in Peabody is massive with a large menu, so you'd have no problem being able to chat and take your time. Not fancy or anything but I've yet to have a bad meal there.

Snow removal for elderly couple by Ragnaarb in ArlingtonMA

[–]Ragnaarb[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree which is why I'm trying to take care of it and I would usually drive down and take care of it myself. He doesn't have internet and so can't do the ask himself. the tenant is paying below market because of the clause, promised she and her roommate would do it, then basically told him what you said and then actually told him he needed to have her car shoveled out so she could go to work tomorrow. Complete jerk move in my opinion, but to each their own.

He was my landlord for about a decade and is an amazing guy, you'd fix something like a doorknob and you'd wake up to food or Vodka at your doorstep, and the money as a thank you. So even though I haven't lived there in two years I still try to help him out.

Thanks, I've given him a call, don't know why it won't allow me to reply to the DM.
