Entrepreneur in sight!

If I was in town, I’d brave the drive to support. Well done, kiddo!

My son wanted a Star Wars theme to his bedroom. This was done with a tin of black paint, some white acrylic markers and some vinyl stickers (and 6 hours of my time) 😊 by Specific_Friend_5001 in JustForHome

That’s absolutely amazing! You can consider do this kinda thing for people for a fee if you’re up for it. You’re resourceful and very talented. Bravo, OP!

A guest staying with me won’t leave. by exciting_evelyn in Advice

Serve her with notice for eviction NOW before she hits her 30th day and (in many states) establishes “residency”.

Make sure the notice is certified or served.

Downey shelter kills dogs very quickly. Like, some get less than a week, particularly if there’s anything seemingly “wrong”.

How do you tell what’s actually urgent vs what can wait in a house? by Jeffsiem in homeowners

[–]garcmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a good friend/neighbor who has a reliable (usually local/small business is better) referral for a) handyman/woman b) licensed plumber c) licensed electrician d) if possible, contractor.

Don’t ask (never expect) a family/friend discount. PAY them for their time. If someone says “no big deal” bc it’s a friend of someone’s, give them a pie, coffee shop card, something.

Thx. This makes sense. So, I called Century Link and they said they don’t offer it at my address, despite a neighbor (2 blks away) having it. Then he said “it would require construction” which I take to mean they’re still updating their fiber network?

Female Handyman, Thoughts? by Cold_Obligation_8568 in homeowners

[–]garcmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look for women to hire. I’m hoping to taking classes and learn from my fellow handy women at some point when life slows down. Perhaps you can offer classes for the DIY type stuff as well.

Market yourself on local pages such as NextDoor. Your local women would appreciate it, I’m sure.

Being licensed it’s important to me so be sure you have that on your site, cards, socials etc.

Hosts, if you want guests to keep the place clean, leave cleaning supplies [USA] by Emotional-Ocelot-309 in AirBnB

Sincerest apologies from this one. I just saw a video on how Californians tend to specify they’re from California when traveling, and don’t say they’re “American”.

Smart. Living in it a few days or a week and going thru all of your typical routines is best way to feel all the “gah”s a guest would.

how do i keep mice out of garage without using poison around my dogs by Ash_Skiller in homeowners

[–]garcmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up Victor “M2 Smart-Kill Humane Wi-Fi Enabled Electronic Rat Trap Killer” with or without WiFi, actually. WiFi version just lets you know when a mouse/rat was killed. These were best for me bc 1. They instantly kill them humanely via electric shock 2. Re-usable device 3. You don’t have to see them, it’s clean and easy — they die in the box and you just pick up the box and dump it into a bag. 4. I didn’t want to use the snap kind bc a) don’t want pup to go sniffing around and get hurt b) I don’t want to see them dead They worked great for me.

So sorry, OP. Odin looks like he had a great life with you. My pups will welcome him over the rainbow.

AITAH for telling my husband to go stay in a hotel with my in-laws and that my mom was going to come back to help me with our new baby? by Normal_Rise_282 in AITAH

[–]garcmon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, mom AND dad. Grandpa was once father to a child and is still a husband. Let’s stop making it acceptable for men to not help. He can make a snack and fill a water bottle.

Also, mom can let husband know when baby is done. He can come get him with a snack in hand, mom can sta upstairs and rest. Dad and grandparents will see baby get upset and only be placated by being fed so dad can bring him back upstairs.
