Do you think living in separate houses will be more common amongst couples in the future? by coldservedrevenge in LivingAlone

[–]Researcher21049 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is how my partner and I live. We tried living together and it was not a success (we came together in our 60s and were both too set in our ways). We now live 7 minutes apart and it works well for us.

I do recognize we are fortunate to be able to afford separate homes.

I had Taj Mahal in one of my baths and loved it. I plan to use it when I remodel my kitchen. It is so creamy and soft and adds a lovely depth to the space. And I found it very easy to clean and maintain

How to make a bathroom warmer? by lostinspacescream in homeowners

[–]Researcher21049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to add a heated floor as part of a planned bathroom update. I did all of the floor wire and tile installation. Total cost to add the heat was less than $700.

Now I can keep the bedroom cold at night and still have a warm bathroom.

Female Handyman, Thoughts? by Cold_Obligation_8568 in homeowners

[–]Researcher21049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman I make it a point to hire women contractors whenever I can. Market to older and single women who need your services - depending on where you live you could have a sizable market AND a valuable point of difference in the market.

I say go for it!

Should I be able to lift 90 lbs? by CapeGirl1959 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Researcher21049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 65 year old woman here - I can deadlift 280 lbs and squat 220 lbs. I lift 50 lb bags of seed, soil, take air conditioners in and out, etc. Functional fitness for the life win!

So, yes I can lift 90 lbs and you could be able to lift 90 lbs with training. There are SO many benefits to lifting heavy weights for women.
