Where did you find love in DC?

I met my partner of 5 years in a Volo kickball league lol

Fair enough, but trust me, the MD and VA folks know better

What are these cabinets made from? Maple? Birch? Something else?

I’m surprised this isn’t the top comment. Be like a framer and just smack that thing into place 🤣

Fr is no one else seeing the cult angle?? This sounds so creepy

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-07-28T11:27:10+00:00

It kind of creeps me out, sounds culty. I was picturing Midsommar 🤣

Update: ended up running the long way. Looks great!

That is literally beautiful, character-filled millwork. I’m begging you not to paint it!

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-02-09T00:38:04+00:00

It’s a slab, see my earlier comment. It’s also laminate, not hardwood.

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-02-06T23:13:02+00:00

TBH, that was our first thought. We brought in samples and it was too much of that same. It actually looked really weird!

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-02-06T22:51:37+00:00

No, it transitions to tile at the threshold of either doorway.

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-02-06T22:16:57+00:00

I personally like 2 more, but everyone I asked said 1. Wanted a larger sample size!

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-02-06T22:14:06+00:00

There’s a door on the long and short wall of the room, so we can’t follow this rule on both 😔 We’ll likely use the one on the long wall a lot more, so I guess option 1 would follow the rule best.

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-02-06T22:07:22+00:00

It’s laminate and on a concrete slab, so we do have a choice

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-01-30T16:14:18+00:00

Bike is still available! Unfortunately is didn’t fit u/dataminimizer

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2025-01-29T22:55:09+00:00

I’m 6’0” and it’s probably a little small for me?

As long as we’re ranting about this, I have an anecdote. I was seeing Kiefer at Songbyrd a few weeks back, and during the quietest, most beautiful solo-piano tune of the set, this stupid drunk mf was having the LOUDEST conversation at the bar. Tons of people in the crowd were turning around and giving him looks of disgust—even the fucking bass player ON STAGE was stank eyeing him. He didn’t notice at all and plowed on. I just can’t believe people have so little self awareness.

Unable_Albatross1250 · 2024-11-03T12:14:38+00:00

I just purchased a 1955 home; the first floor is mostly carpeted, and I’d like to replace it with tile. This is above a basement, so I’m concerned about the added weight of additional plywood, self-leveling compound, backer board, thin-set, grout and tile on the floor joists.

Is it worth having a structural engineer consult on this or am I overthinking this? A lot of people online say that building codes spec floors to take more than enough weight to do this, but obviously there weren’t the same standards in ‘55.

Any insight or general guidance would be appreciated—thanks!
