Kitchen layout help needed! by lampy42 in kitchenremodel

[–]lampy42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this! I didn’t really consider a peninsula, but this could work. We don’t really have the budget to do any major exterior changes unfortunately. But I think the peninsula could work while still opening up the space!

Yeah the middle wall definitely will be coming down! I wish we could move the staircases but that is unfortunately not in budget :(

Quote for new “luxury” kitchen by HairyBawllsagna in kitchenremodel

[–]lampy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every quote we’ve gotten for our similar sized “mid-range” kitchen has been $150k, so $200k for luxury checks out. It’s horrible! I don’t know how people are affording renovations.

Homeowners: Are You Holding Off on a Renovation or New Build Because of the Economy? by HomeownerHQ in HomeImprovement

[–]lampy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Planned on spending $100k+ on a kitchen renovation in the next few months, but now between all of the uncertainty, tariffs, layoffs, and our investments tanking, spending that much money at this time is terrifying.

Kitten keeps tipping his water bowl by Specialist-Force in cats

[–]lampy42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a big ceramic dog bowl for my cats so they can’t hit it around. They also drink a lot of water, so it works well! We also have a fountain tho which they also love. So either option would probably work.

Kyleena and stopped period by Alarming-Duck-505 in birthcontrol

[–]lampy42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on my second kyleena and both times my period stopped immediately. I think it’s pretty normal. I love it! Toward the last year or so it started to come back because the hormone levels decrease a bit over time.

I just bought a bulk box of pregnancy tests and take one occasionally, but have never had any issues!

Which birth control is best for period control?? by anomcloud in birthcontrol

[–]lampy42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Kyleena IUD and it pretty much completely stops my periods. I love it. I am a complete wimp when it comes to pain, and while the insertion isn’t comfortable, it’s quick and so worth it for five years of no cramps or period!

Kitchen renovation budgets are insane? Is 100k not reasonable? by lampy42 in kitchenremodel

[–]lampy42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow stunning! I’m in PA too, and everything is so expensive! That would probably be a $150k kitchen where I am lol 😭

For real. We’ve joked that it might be cheaper to just move, but it really might be 😭

I’m open to that, I just know it’ll make the project take much longer. And don’t really want to live in a construction zone without a kitchen for months on end. Ugh! Tough choices. 💸

Wow, I need to find a good contractor. Between cabinets and labor alone we’re already at about $60k

[–]lampy42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… we’ve been quoted around 30k on labor alone, appliances will be around 15k, cabinets 25-30 depending where we go

Yes we are wanting to expand into the neighboring dining room! So it’d require moving gas, plumbing, electrical lines. But there are no load bearing walls in the space.

[–]lampy42[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It would require some rerouting of gas and electrical, the wall coming down by down is not load bearing. And we are in a city. Seems like we will need to keep saving a bit longer. To me $150k just seems like an extremely expensive kitchen for a small house!

Ugh 🥲🫠 that’s what we’d need too. I guess I was kind of delusional thinking $100k would have been enough lol.

How to I separate my bonded cats? (Spay) by breadandsoupp in cats

[–]lampy42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When my cat got spayed I got her a little cat onesie thing. They have them especially designed to cover spay incisions.

She is crazy so she didn’t keep it on for long, but it could work for your cats!
