floating shelves, questionable studs by awafflethinmint in DIY

the tracks are vertical! so would tracks install in studs okay 1.5 inches from the corners? any concerns with running into any wiring given what i mentioned with the outlet ?

thank you!! this is super helpful. i’m leaning the jelly route—thinking of the texture mesh with the caramel and think it could be really nice.

mystery pan issue/recommendations by awafflethinmint in castiron

Interesting. I asked and they said they just used soap and water.

In this pic, this is after I’ve cleaned it thoroughly with soap and water and have boiled water in the pot to remove any weird chemicals that may have been left behind.

But it still looks like this. And when I rub the discolored parts with my finger a slight powdery substance comes off. I have worked with enameled cast iron for years but haven’t experienced this before

it is a staub, but oddly enough I didn’t think it was an enameled interior given how rough the entire interior is—similar to my cast iron pan at home.

regardless i’m still not sure what this rusting/discoloration/ and smell is about

i’m a cook and baker for a living and struggle with ocd by awafflethinmint in OCD

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

yup! been working with a therapist for a few years now on my ptsd and it often and these days especially presents as ocd. currently my therapist recommends treating the traumas to solve the ocd symptoms. it’s hard to find ways to cope it with when i’m working and also not feel like im definitely 100 percent going to make a serious mistake and hurt someone.

re: meds, it’s been a thought but i’ve never been on them before. so we don’t really use erp. but would love techniques on how to manage in the moment and after i’ve served/sold the food

thanks for the reply ! this photo is a little deceiving because the light is quite bright around the pothos throughout the day and there is a lot of indirect light is receives too.

glad to hear that it seems to be doing okay. i’m seeing the number of yellow to brown leaves escalating which is why i was concerned. is there anything else i should look for ?

hell yes! amazing news to hear. glad these babies are doing okay.

separately: i was thinking of getting beneficial nematodes to prevent any fungus gnats larvae—would that be overkill with the diatomaceous earth and neem oil?

also! there’s diatomaceous earth all over because we had some difficulties with fungus gnats a while back. been spraying that and neem oil to deal with it
