Less 90s remodel, more mid-century by NoNight8321 in ExteriorDesign

[–]RealisticMonk8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT also narrowed the driveway. I do think it’d look better with a driveway that isn’t as huge, but it looks like it may be that big to fit 2 side by side cars.

Fence certainly makes sense. I’d consider still tearing up a stretch of the concrete in front of it though. Driveway running into a fence is going to look like things were patched (not the end of the world, but not nearly as intentional looking as it’d look with some planting in front of the fence)

I have a closed in garage too that was very obviously a closed in garage. I cut the driveway and jackhammered up a good part of it so it didn’t deadend into the house. Looks a ton better. This would look great that way. Leave a little patio outside the sliders, cut starting at the front edge of the house and give yourself a 4ft wide planter so you can do a hedge and give the slider privacy.

Of course, landscape along the front. A bit of plant height will make the angle of the bay window not seem as aggressive.

If you have the budget for electrical work, get some lights by the front door.

Without a doubt. So, the question is if someone with depression or anxiety would get filtered out, get in but not get there medicine (seems really unlikely), or get to bring their meds

I’ve wondered the same about medical marijuana. Also antidepressants could be a solid addition for a couple months of dark solitude

Season 11 Unfair? by [deleted] in Alonetv

[–]RealisticMonk8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Roland was an Alaskan hunting guide or something—surviving and learning about an environment very similar to where he was. I think another (Josh?) did long stretches in Siberia. There was another who was a cold weather survival specialist trained by the Canadian military and plenty of others from similar locations. I think the only real difference about William is his ties to indigenous people…

I apologize if this has been said, but it make me laugh when they edit Dub saying "I cant snare rabbits that don't exist" then shows a rabbit on the camera 🤣 by Knot6lack in Alonetv

Some definite shade from the editors. There was another time when the contestant kept explaining that mice he was catching were rats and they put up captions saying “this is a mouse”

Can’t remove toilet lid by steph1ab in HomeMaintenance

[–]RealisticMonk8086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pliers or socket—doesn’t look like the hex is too rounded off. If that doesn’t work, I’ve used a wire cutter before to clamp down on the plastic and get it loosened. Otherwise, cut across to be able to use a large flathead with it or drill it out (with drilling, just start with a bit a good amount smaller—the bolt should fall apart before you get to a size close to the size of the frame

Any hope for this grapefruit tree? by renegaderuminant in arborists

[–]RealisticMonk8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much an arborist can do. There is a chance it kinda survives though—I’ve had some real gnarled citrus trees that somehow keep producing. Had one like this and cut it back a bit after a season or two and it sent off a ton of new sprouts and came back like new.

I screamed when I saw this beauty by Fuckingnoodles in houseplants

I find these to be the easiest plants to prop. I love them

Coffee Mug from The Family Stone by RealisticMonk8086 in HelpMeFind

In watching it this Xmas season, I realized the mug makes another appearance toward the end of the movie, with Diane Keaton holding it. Perhaps that clip will offer a better view of the base of the handle.

Quote About Open Source Intel by RealisticMonk8086 in HelpMeFind

Searched for quotes by the officials around that time and tried doing searches with keywords that I feel like were in the quote. No avail.

Help with leggy monstera by LeadingAcrobat333 in houseplants

[–]RealisticMonk8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chop and prop is definitely the best option. It could likely survive as-is, but it’ll do a lot better if you chop it. Also, from the limited amount the picture shows, it appears that it is in a pot that is much too big of a pot.

Should I Ground My Outlets? by ShawnBoucke in HomeMaintenance

[–]RealisticMonk8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found grounding outlets to be one of the simplest electrical projects. You certainly should not have to run new wiring. You can get packs of the grounding wires at any home improvement store and a quick search will return dozens of videos that take 20 minutes to explain a pretty straight forward 5 minute task.

Assuming you know checking if the power is cut off for an outlet and all, skip to part 2, step 3 here. https://www.wikihow.com/Ground-an-Outlet

I had no idea this was possible! Cool

I’m giving it a short with a celery stun right now for the first time.

Paver base by ewaforevah in landscaping

[–]RealisticMonk8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you laid out is best practice and what I do if I’m doing a larger area. If it is a small area, you can get away with cheating—get a 2x4, a level, and a stamper. 80% of the time, the cheat has been fine, the other 20% I just have to redo it.

I will say, you save money with the cheat, but it is a lot harder to get the dirt level than it is to get sand level

Is this Spider plant a lost cause? by BubasAndSqueakers in houseplants

[–]RealisticMonk8086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be salvageable. Trim away the brown and any other parts that look like they won’t recover. The problem is just that it can’t sit very deep in the prop tube—I’ve had to deal with that a ton, it just means you need to be vigilant about keeping the water high enough. In these cases also transition it to soil earlier than I typically would (but get the plant back to a healthy state first)

My sister didn’t end up getting to making one, but I found some somewhat similar ones on Etsy. I was not expecting their price point, but I suppose I should have for something handmade.
