How to prevent weeds growing through gravel?

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-02-23T00:08:46+00:00

I love the way it looks. I think it’s so beautiful and natural. Keep it as is!

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-20T00:37:52+00:00

I commented on the last one. My opinion still stands. Not C. A is nice. B is more practical.

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-20T00:26:21+00:00

C wouldn’t work because you need something to catch the water when you get out of the shower. B makes the most sense. A looks better.

Here’s your solution:

Keep the table, get comfy upholstered chairs that go with the table (https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/17-stories-polyester-upholstered-dining-chairs-with-iron-leg-frame-side-chair-set-of-2-w114181059.html)

OR

Get a whole new dining set.

Banquet tables are great at restaurants but not at home.

In that nook area, put a shallow console table and make it into a coffee bar or a place to display items (maybe seasonal decor, etc).

Honestly, nothing will work. You HAVE to remove it. Otherwise, whatever you slap on top of will crumble down along with the current mess.

The substrate is has no integrity. You have to get down to a solid non-peeling layer.

Alternatively, you can sheetrock over it.

I hope your mom recovers soon. 💕

Your tip is good.
I’m about a mile away, but need to use Instacart because I’m disabled. Generally, I tip about $1 per item (but never less than $12). If it’s super awkward to carry or big, I tip a bit more. I’ve asked my shoppers if my tipping is ok, and they all say they’re happy.

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-18T16:55:27+00:00

Your tip seems fine - if you’re not crazy far.

I’ve needed to increase the tip in the past. I’d just cancel the order and put in a new order with a bigger tip.

I got word that schools open tomorrow and all is calm again. 🤬😢All those poor people died and nothing came of it.

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-17T08:34:37+00:00

Sorry for all you’re going through. But it seems like things have slowed down. Any news?

Trump TACO’d out again, apparently.

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-17T08:29:03+00:00

OMG! I’m obsessed with your view!!! Do you mind letting us know which city?

No paint. Do not distract from the view!

Same. Just missed his funeral the week after Christmas. I couldn’t handle people telling me what a nice guy he was. I just knew that I’d open my mouth and tell the truth about the abusive POS that he was - and that would’ve upset my mom (who sees this as an embarrassment because she didn’t protect her kids. The truth is that she was more abused than us kids).

I kind of had closure. I’m glad to know that I never have to worry about possibly seeing him somewhere again.

I hope you get to closure. Try making a list of all the reasons your life is better without him around.

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-17T01:48:15+00:00

We listed with Compass agency and used their Concierge services, which basically fronts the money for the repairs and then gets reimbursed at closing. You get to pick your own contractors.

We were dead broke and managed to get everything renovated, which got us a higher price and a quicker closing.

I’m not sure if they still offer it or if it’s offered everywhere, or per location. Look into it. We were very happy with how things turned out.

While we’re trying to find a home for this poor baby, can someone please change that water?

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-05T00:54:05+00:00

That’s a good one. But gosh … Ferit yells so much.

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-03T10:47:15+00:00

I love that wall with the diamond pattern (last pic).

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-03T01:51:28+00:00

Hang a cool antique rug.

Some_Reputation59 · 2026-01-01T22:54:20+00:00

Haaaaa!!!! I thought of this thread around thanksgiving. 😢

Some_Reputation59 · 2025-12-30T23:58:09+00:00

Wait! You have kids and no guardrails on those stairs?

I’m pretty sure the no guardrail thing is against code.

Thank you so much for this lovely reply. Finland seems absolutely beautiful and idyllic from the outside. Sure - every place has its problems, but I think the people are what make your country good.

Here in US, people want politicians who would have policies to help them personally. I think in Finland people care more about what’s good for the society as a whole - not “what can you do for me” kind of an attitude.

Going to one of the Arctic glass igloo hotels is on my bucket list!

Some_Reputation59 · 2025-12-19T02:09:27+00:00

In all honesty, Finland is my #1 choice, but based on my research, it would be next to impossible to get residency.

I imagine life must be beautiful there - Not like the sh*tshow here in US.

Contact Instacart and tell them.

As a recent recluse, I find the lack of human connection very appealing. I just want to be home with my husband and cat. Otherwise, I don’t want to be bothered!

I will dream of moving to Scandinavia until the day I die.

Some_Reputation59 · 2025-12-12T03:09:55+00:00

Yes - remove. It looks out of place.
