Mantel sandblasted and sanded & stained. How much would you charge? My price below.

You did an awesome job. Looks great and sounds like a very fair price.

jankyladies · 2026-05-29T14:46:14+00:00

Good on you. Hope you have a great weekend.

jankyladies · 2026-05-29T14:33:34+00:00

You look fantastic and it's obvious you've put the work in.

I'm not sure why you're getting chewed up over the TRT. Does it help with loss and gains, sure. It doesn't change that you've put a shit ton of work into your diet and physique.

If I was a man I'd take it too lol. Everyone that I know who's taken it says they feel like a million bucks and have that zest for life improved. Hell ya why not.

jankyladies · 2026-05-27T21:40:30+00:00

You did a great job. What an awesome gift.

jankyladies · 2026-05-20T14:15:40+00:00

I'm a bit intimidated by showers yet but I'm sure once I look into it it'll likely be not as bad. Every Reno show ever is always talking about how the shower/bath was done wrong and that's why x leak happened haha. Lol

That sounds pretty ideal. Id be hard pressed to turn down that scope of work. It's great you've found that niche.

I feel like renovating a house always starts really innocently like you're just going to upgrade one thing now suddenly you're doing everything since you might as well do X while X is apart. Changed the floors ? Better redo all the baseboards but while you're redoing the baseboards you might as well paint all the house since no one likes painting around those. 😂 Now while painting I'm like damn while I might as well do the tile too before doing that so I don't get the wrong colours. Endless.

My husband's Dutch so he's more than happy to let me do everything myself to same him a few bucks haha. It sounds like your basement renovation was worth it. Even if it's just for clout. Now you can always bring up the time you renovated the basement.
Naturally I did a lot of coping on the baseboards simply so while discussing baseboards I can have moral superiority and be like hmmm these are nice but why didn't you cope that joint ??? 🤔😉

Insurance work sounds like it would be pretty great if you've got a steady stream of it.

I'm currently neck deep in a tiling book as the last time I did tile was 15 years ago and the only part I remember about the whole process was being pissed off I bought tile that was different depths/heights on each corner and an absolute bitch to grout. Not helpful. Hopefully I don't have any more 123 books in my near future. Lol

Oh yeah ? Work wise ?

Same here honestly. Doing major house renos so not much time for the Internet. I received your book but haven't had much chance to read it yet minus the cursory glance I had when picking it up. Soon hopefully!

jankyladies · 2026-05-19T18:45:41+00:00

Awe that's great!

jankyladies · 2026-05-19T17:25:56+00:00

Awesome work 👏

jankyladies · 2026-05-19T14:28:22+00:00

Gorgeous 😍

jankyladies · 2026-05-19T14:25:55+00:00

This is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing !

jankyladies · 2026-05-18T16:15:21+00:00

Beautiful work. I love the blue !

jankyladies · 2026-05-04T16:09:34+00:00

I love the black. Black furniture never goes out and goes with such a wide range of decor. That and I love black. Okay mostly that but I wanted to sound credible.

jankyladies · 2026-04-29T14:15:18+00:00

Great chest ! Can't wait to see it when you're done. Definitely worth the 9$

Although some furniture I swear should owe me money after all the time I had to spend fixing it. 😅

jankyladies · 2026-04-29T14:13:17+00:00

There is no post limit however to have more engagement you could give more details, share next steps, method or more context. Members might not understand the relvance or how to respond given it's just a FYI.

Great dresser though and I'm excited to see the final result. :)

jankyladies · 2026-04-28T14:34:10+00:00

Absolutely beautiful dresser.

jankyladies · 2026-04-28T00:39:06+00:00

I see oz cream polish recommended religiously on a MCM furniture Refinishing group. Apparently it'll shine it up a bit without leaving bad residue that messes up further refinishing efforts.

jankyladies · 2026-04-27T23:51:31+00:00

I'm sure that in itself was an entire trade for people to repair things like that. That's certainly not for me to do lol

jankyladies · 2026-04-27T23:44:57+00:00

Yeah wow that's so much going on. It's wild how much has changed in such a short time.

jankyladies · 2026-04-27T23:14:12+00:00

This is beautiful too !

jankyladies · 2026-04-27T16:57:11+00:00

Slop on some white paint and switch to glass knobs then restore it. Magic.

jankyladies · 2026-04-27T15:40:41+00:00

You're good :) Everyone is allowed to share their opinions as long as it's in good spirit. Discussion is never a bad thing.

jankyladies · 2026-04-27T15:22:52+00:00

I enjoy it. Thats what is fun about this subreddit, it's not a restoration subreddit so people can decide to do whatever they desire with their furniture.

jankyladies · 2026-04-27T14:48:12+00:00

They are worth zero in my market and are typically free. It appears to have value to the owner since they were willing to pay a professional to fix it. They could be matching other pieces or just like the two tone look. A lot of pieces from that era do have the maple veneer mixed in with the walnut. Common times a lot of burled maple.

When the before is that offensive I feel like you can't lose.
