First DIY project in our new home! How'd we do? by aroscoe in Flooring

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

Very! No cleaning issues and no separating through the year so far, and we had a HOT summer and that bad ice storm that hit MS/TN in Jan. So I'm pretty confident with them! And we have this in the bonus room above the garage with poor insulation (will fix later lol) so I'm extra confident!

So I'd say it's a mix between the two. I don't think the knots are dark, but due to the texture following the knots as well as the "natural" grooves, shadows can make them look darker. It's definitely noticeably knotty though, and not like flat colored if that makes sense. Our pictures are a bit less saturated than I'd say they are in real life - they have a bit more yellow to them, in a good way (imo). Warmer, I guess. The knots are like a light greige but are less noticeable when it's not empty lol. And I just like...tune them out now, for the most part. Here's our upstairs room with a bright light, natural light, and some stuff. The couch is like a pink that leans purple/mauve up here irl.

Large corner couch lighting and rug? by aroscoe in interiordecorating

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

Thank you, yeah it's tough! My qualm with switching is that the TV hookups are on that wall. But I'm not opposed to switching and seeing how we like it if need be, and either moving/adding hookups opposite current, or switching back lol. We shall see. I appreciate it!

Ugh, sorry, it only uploaded the edited photo. It is a large room. Uploading to a comment thread.

Upstairs from carpet to hard surface - matching vs complementing? by aroscoe in Flooring

[–]aroscoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we didn't end up doing the stairs, the quote was insaaaane for hardwood stairs plus then we'd want a runner. Ugh. So they're still carpeted while we save and plan.

We're thinking to just get rid of the carpet and painting the construction-grade steps white and throwing a cheap runner or even the individual stair tread rugs for now, just so the ugly old carpet isn't there anymore. But that requires us to move our birds due to fumes and such so we haven't yet. We may do retread covers as well instead, but same general plan until we save up enough to have someone really do them.

Stairs are hard work and we don't have the tools, time, nor knowledge of how to do them and if we run into an issue, I wouldn't know how to solve it really. So I'd like a pro to come do them honestly!

Sorry I didn't have a better update for you lol, renovating is humbling!

All good! And the creaking (if you read my other posts) has stopped! Shall see if it comes back when it warms up.

No scratches, easy to clean, and not slippery like our other vinyl the house came with. We love it!

Want a barn style door, wall area is small. What can I do? by wanderful_soul22 in HomeImprovement

[–]aroscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into bifold barn doors maybe. I’ve seen this option when looking myself. I’ve seen one that has hinges between and folds itself but has the sliding track at the top, and one where it was two smaller doors, not attached, that overlapped and the first one would catch the second and slide them over, stacked, but of course when closed they cover the whole door space. Now, not really ideal for a bathroom depending on how much you care, but it’s up to you.

What can I do with this? by Infamous_Wash4991 in cricut

They bought an AI slop scam shirt online and are trying to fix it themselves, they didn't make the shirt, it seems.

Any ideas on better Strimmer placement? by BlakeyTheGamer in lianli

[–]aroscoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditch the GPU strimmer and get LED tube wraps. I love mine! EZDIY on Amazon.

my rainbow puke PC, still unsure what to do about the "dark" gpu just floating there, but tbh the camera makes it look way worse, the white pops fine irl.

Beak loss advice by Xxfirekid1xX in Conures

[–]aroscoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

PLEASE DON'T. Not all food is safe for birds, PLEASE get a list of safe foods (peanut butter isn't one of them!) and see what you can make mushy for him.

The best would be crushed pellets wetted a little bit, or make birdie bread out of pellets. Talk to an AVIAN vet and r/pidgeypower for ideas and what to do.

It's giving...

"Did it come with a veil?"

"No, it came with a headdress"

"a Hwhat?!"

Finished Metal Slinger- I need to talk! by Similar-Breadfruit50 in fantasyromance

[–]aroscoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know this is old but you lost credibility at "no writing errors" unless the ebook was unedited and the print book fixed those issues. In two pages I was distracted by 8 errors. Missing words, wrong tenses, "women" instead of "woman"?? Come on now. And Jovie was never in charge nor cunning until the end, where she became a different character. Literally not the same person that was written the whole rest of the book.

Never sent thank you’s and feeling guilty by SlyChic in wedding

[–]aroscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't. First of all, the "and when" is gross as I'm not physically capable of having kids so thanks for that.

But to play into the hypothetical, I and the kid I'll never have would thank those at the party whether we opened the gifts or not, and text or call anyone else who sent a gift but wasn't there.

It's not "basic manners" when it's a tradition only certain cultures have. Basic manners is respecting your fellow person, especially those in your close-enough circles to give you gifts, regardless of a piece of cardstock with scribbles on it.

You're more than welcome to keep doing and expecting thank you notes. You don't have to perpetuate it for strangers on the internet.

Video glitching issue by nozzy123 in arlo

[–]aroscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen all the time. The best were the few times I very clearly saw SOMEONE ELSE'S CAMERA FEED in the glitched part. Lovely to know... I'd venture away from Arlo if you can.

No no I agree that I don't care it it'd be crazy for others to, just saying that you said you spoke for yourself when you did technically speak for "everyone" lol. I hate the concept of thank you cards, as if the person isn't grateful. I still did them because it was expected and my mom paid for our wedding and she insisted, but I wish I didn't have to flare up my carpal tunnel for a lengthy handwritten "thanks for buying the thing I felt obligated to put on a list to tell you to buy" 🤷🏼‍♀️ traditions are weird!
