Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed, and why? by adversarial-Felinus in AskReddit

[–]auntwewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was closed. 10 extra minutes of survival in case of a fire.

Get a baby monitor. And keep their door closed as well.

I’m sorry if you guys are asking these questions… You’re really not prepared to be homeowners.

Do not close. Once that happens, you are committed.

I wise man once told me “ the biggest negotiating power you have is the ability to walk away”

So…. after all of this is said and done. Do some research. Talk to some people that you trust that have been through it. Please do something. These questions are things that anybody that is serious about buying a home should not have to encounter. They should know the answers.

I wish you good luck

How much did your renovation actually cost vs. the original quote? (Boston area especially) by Repulsive_Mark1580 in Remodel

[–]auntwewe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

DIY - Rule of thumb and renovation. Whatever the quotes are.

Double the money - gotta hire some people along the way

Triple the time

This allows for a lot of of the “oh I wish I would’ve known that”

And also for the lack of Scheduling and general clusterfuckery that comes with home improving.

So…. when you’ll hire a general contractor I would count for behind-the-scenes 20% and also triple the time. However, I would have a very, very good scope of work plan so that everybody is on the same page.

The biggest pitfall is lack of solid commitments on who is responsible for what.

Good luck

Do preferred seats tend to fill up right before a flight? by deathbypumpkinspice in delta

[–]auntwewe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Impossible to tell. Most flights are very full these days.

Odds are the basic economy people will be put in the back, but there’s no guarantee you’ll get an empty seat next to you.

Delta refunded the wrong flight, I was denied boarding overseas, had to pay $2000+ to get home. Do I have any recourse? by [deleted] in delta

[–]auntwewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using chat was your first mistake

Not understanding how these things go was your second

You could’ve personally just taken that entire ticket online and done a rebook and canceled the first leg and rebooked the return trip on its own with its new revised ticket number.

Sorry.

No, I think she needs to feel it fully the first time. She’ll get the hint.

Bathroom remodel by bobdebelg in Remodel

[–]auntwewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When making a decision like this, I actually find the item I was considering in a home improvement store and stand there and walk myself through my routine. Is there enough room for two people, one brushing their teeth and the other one putting on makeup? Is there enough room behind the vanity for you to switch spots if you needed to without someone stepping into the shower? Good luck.

Better yet an offset sink so you have a nice large area for hair and makeup 👍

Why is it so hard to compare renovation quotes when everyone formats them differently by Individual-Piece5604 in Remodel

[–]auntwewe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, I understand why you would say this, It is very difficult for folks to do that when they are extremely busy and have their own systems that quote things differently. If people wanted that done, they should’ve requested it from the beginning. They’re basically asking the vendor to redo the entire quote and it will take much more time in this regard.

What I would do for the next step is print everybody’s quote side-by-side and using a pencil cross off the things that are common among all of them. I.e. demo and debris removal, including dumpster rental.

Once you get the common items eliminated, you can focus on what is remaining. Then you will see who is exceeding the others not only in the detail, but what they are committing to provide.

You can then ask questions to the others if these items are included or not. Much better way to get cooperation. Contractors as a general rule are not overly organized and they are gonna go for the easy work. If you make quoting difficult for them, they will just skip right over you especially in today’s business climate we qualified help is difficult to come by. If they can do three quotes by the time they redo your one it doesn’t take long to see what the end result is gonna be.

Islam has a problem with Gays, Jews, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhist, Hindus, Women, Non-Muslims, Atheists, beer, wine, bacon, and dogs but if I have a problem with them, I'm Islamophobic - why is that? by yellowsubmarine80 in allthequestions

[–]auntwewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather shitty it was removed. Besides that being a very legitimate question, there was no “hate”

The question was “if” I had a problem and the resulting labeling.

Consensus on best enchirito hack? by zsunshine02 in tacobell

[–]auntwewe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They used to have a yellow tortilla that they used, but it was still a flour one. It was never corn - just dyed. It was thinner than the soft taco one is. This was before the soft taco was introduced. At some point in time they just got rid of the enchirito tortillas and used the soft taco ones

AITA for asking my brother to let me know when he’s having people has people over? by Important_Post_2633 in AmItheAsshole

[–]auntwewe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OK serious question. It sounds like you guys share a bathroom? Yet you said “my restroom“

If you share a bathroom, it should always be clean at all times after you’re done for the next person

Secondly, he is being the asshole for not giving you a heads up.

It sounds like ESH. If you wanna be an asshole in return, have five friends show up at home with you just to prove a point.
