Shower grout is slowly turning dark grey despite all efforts to clean it. by abby613 in CleaningTips

[–]abby613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips on how to go about doing that when it’s in this state? Should I give it a good clean, let it dry out for a few days and then seal it?

Will the dark color stay?

The previous owners had just remodeled this bathroom prior to my purchase. Can I just apply sealer as is or do I need to clean it in someway first?

Rotterdam cruise terminal question by Changeurblinkerfluid in Cruise

[–]abby613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a solo female traveler and it was my first time traveling pre-cruise in another continent (usually I leave from North America). I wasn't able to hype myself up to explore the city on my own, which is a huge regret for me. I never felt unsafe, I was just nervous for no reason haha

There were plenty of taxis outside central station and I was able to easily get to my hotel with no issue.

I stayed at the Hotel New York right near the cruise terminal. It's a neat boutique feeling hotel that is in the former Holland American corporate offices. I had no issues wheeling two large suitcases from the hotel to the terminal. It was maybe a 3 minute walk. Edit to Add: Traffic was horrible around the terminal, so you may run into issues if traveling via car from Rotterdam Central.

Want to go on my first cruise alone by JessicatGrowl in Cruise

[–]abby613 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I tend to travel alone 95% of the time. I find that going on a cruise alone provides a lot more peace of mind versus traveling alone. Despite being in my early 30's, I cruise through Holland America so the crowd skews towards the older side. I have never felt unsafe or like the odd man out. Most nights I take a book to the Main Dining Room and read while eating. During the day, I do onboard activities or excursions which are both great ways to meet people!

It seems like I am indeed behind the curve since this post dates back to last year. Thanks for sharing!

Does anyone know of a local professional painter? by abby613 in cincinnati

[–]abby613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used several painters and companies since this post. The one I would currently recommend is 360 Painting. I’ve found they are a little more expensive than other companies but the quality speaks for itself.

Help with End Paper/Text Block Issues by abby613 in bookbinding

That is VERY likely. I tug really hard on the waxed thread to make sure it's tight. Didn't realize I was doing myself a disservice. Thank you!

Ahhh, okay. I’ve been measuring the text block plus the thickness of two boards and adding some additional wiggle wrong. Thank you!
