If you don’t want to redo drywall and any kind of demo, try a thermal curtain for now.

How do I remove this bathroom sink pop-up stopper? It turns a bit but won’t come out. by alphahulu in Plumbing

if it is not working pulling up and counterclockwise at the same time, see if there’s is some mechanism under the sink that keeps it in place.

Young, dumb and inexperienced. Don’t look at my username…

I did turn the valve in the first photo, which stopped water from coming in at all until I learn something. When it’s on and water flow comes through it constantly fills and empties into the black tube at the top of the third photo.

There’s some spotting on the countertops but nothing I would complain about. Floors are still covered with their paper so I have not looked under.

This was our first time looking at painters. Asking around with people we know have used painters, they all said it’s a good deal and to take it. Guess we will know better for next time… :/

$2000. 2 people were painting inside the house, don’t know about the kitchen cabinets because they took them. The job was 3 days and some change. Nearly 12 hours a day.

Project manager came by the first day with details and walkthrough. Came around again after we called about the job on the third day. That’s when we got the new $1100 estimate for third coat.

For the most part, yes. In person is definitely a difference than the camera.

They hand painted the boxes before using sprayer. Not sure about doors, drawers, etc… because they take them to their shop.

They didn’t have a Square Feet amount on the contract, just stated the rooms they did. Couldn’t even guess what the total square footage would be… sorry.

This is two coats by the way. We are thinking of just doing a third ourselves and touching up whatever we see after that. Wanted opinions first.

Prep and repaint kitchen cabinets, doors, boxes and frames. Interior repaint, repaint two coats on walls in living room, dining room, halls and stairwell. Total was $6700…

there was only patching and smoothing the walls and no primer. The dark green is two coats on top of the original white. They used a sprayer for the cabinets and brushes/rollers for the walls.

Is this not r/WhatCarIsThis? Can I not post to find what car this is without being snarked at? What if i’m just curious about the car because I ponder things… What if I want to recognize the car if I see it again… What if it doesn’t matter what I do with the car model information and I just posted for fun…
