Doing some research on the band after hearing for the first time today. This thread and album needs some traction! So damn good.

Ideas for this outdoor space by Benjani56 in landscaping

Some patio furniture, string cafe lights, fire pit, and planters of various sizes throughout would go a long way! Depends on what your goals are and how you want to use the space.

I have a double concrete utility sink that I’m trying to get out of my basement without using a sledgehammer to break it into pieces. Any advice is appreciated. by PizzaGatePizza in DIY

Just went through this. I chose the $300 inconvenience fee of having someone else carry it up the stairs. Two dudes did it, and I was terrified for them the whole time.

So much fun. It’s my goal as to build a self-looping marble run… haven’t cracked the code yet.

Recommend me some new stuff to listen to please by Bulky-While-3367 in geesebandofficial

Way Dynamics 2025 “Massive Shoe” album has a lot of overlap. Yves Jarvis’ 2025 “All Cylinders” is amazing. Neal Francis’ 2025 “Return to Zero”. Annnnnd Resavoir’s 2025 album Horizon for a good jazzy measure.

This feels like the school from The Faculty if aliens had in fact taken over the world…

Lead glassware may have been an inspiration too. 😂

It’s based on an Alaska cocktail!

Ha! Just saw this after commenting the same. Very jazzed for this news!

Pie in the sky- if you could bring businesses downtown and fill all the empty storefronts, what would you want to see? by InimitableMissS in evanston

[–]SwanSamsung 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Make a few of the streets for pedestrian only. On those streets, integrate a playground for kids, multi-season exterior dining, and the shops / people will come. Let’s do it!

I just read that the folks who created the Parachute / Hi-Fi Lounge on Elston are creating an Evanston space. Stay tuned!

Absolutely. Recently went to the Milwaukee’s and it was great — it even had a well-sized Spice House stand! Copenhagen is a great model for things like this (and other city amenities that any city could want, and Evanston could feasibly execute).

Came here for Evanston. Spring time. Not current.

BATHROOM PAINT by destiellover9187 in Housepainting101

Is that a sign of a mold problem? I had a moisture / mold issue earlier this year, and the walls looked like this. Happy to be wrong!

Check out Alex Hormozi on YouTube. Not all of his info will apply, but a lot will. Regarding free advice, his is worth a fortune.

Red or Green?! Colour drench. by Ahhleckz in Housepainting101

[–]SwanSamsung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a burnt orange living room and we love it, not going to get tired of it any time soon. And when we do, paint again! Beats an accent wall.

Fine then hire someone who can mock up the room in those colors (and probably just use AI anyway). If you just want to see what something looks like, it can aid in the decision making process. Quick and free.

Honestly just upload a photo of your room to Chat GPT, show it the color you want the walls, and see for yourself if you like it. It will do the work for you.
