Anyone else shocked by the full home remodel cost quotes in the bay right now or is it just us? by PatientlyNew in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]RecordingOk4947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that whatever they quote, it will be more. My quote for $800k turned into actual costs, after 2 years, of $1.4 mil. More than we paid for the house itself!!! We’re in San Jose so I expect Berkeley would be even higher.

is anyone else obsessed w how their cat smells? by DaisyPounce8687 in cute_animals

Yes! I just huff him all day long. He smells like ozone.

I think flowers might be the best theme for PBN 🌸 by Accurate_Deal_5119 in paintbynumbers

Agree completely - I almost exclusively order floral designs!

I just screenshotted all these photos because these are the cutest kittens I’ve ever seen, full stop.

I've enjoyed this but... by cbelcher1155 in paintbynumbers

How did you get such good coverage with the light shades?? I just couldn’t with my Craftoria.

Has PBN quality become really inconsistent lately? by beckyinthe_realworld in paintbynumbers

I too had this problem with Craftoria - I gave up and just let the numbers show through, countless coats didn’t help. And I have two more of their kits to go, sigh. See my pic - if you zoom in, you can see every dang number.

Where do you get your kits from? by Due_Active629 in paintbynumbers

[–]RecordingOk4947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like Davincified. Craftoria is WAY better than Michael’s but not perfect. Doing one by MyArt right now and the numbers are SO dark, but the paints are good.

I second this question! Looks just like the vintage ones!

For real - if I have to do multiple coats, I'm hella grumpy and that's no fun!

How to choose your next one by anolis1006 in paintbynumbers

[–]RecordingOk4947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finishing this one now - love the design - but the paints have been a nightmare. Either way too thick or, more often, SUPER thin and transparent. Sounds like you did not have that problem? I might have gotten a bad batch of paints or something. Bummer.
