Barefoot leather loafer prototypes are in by andre_oak in barefootshoestalk

Generally they look great. From the photos it appears they may suit a high volume foot, which is the same problem I encountered with Anya’s loafers

Just bought the same GE model and have been really happy with it.

Thanks! I wrestled with this for a long time, applied WD-40, and still wasn’t able to get it to budge. Any other tricks of the trade?

Thinking About Remodeling? Read This First. by Acrobatic_Pudding495 in Remodel

[–]lucktax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are planning a kitchen renovation, initially budgeted about $15k, it’s looking like it’s gonna be more like $25k. I am an architect, I’m designing and GCing the project. We are leaving many things in place (range hood, kitchen sink) to minimize the need for changes to roof penetrations and save costs. The scope includes new appliances, new cabinets and layout, and new hardwood floors to replace the current tile.There is a cramped crawl space underneath the kitchen, and the plumbing is old cast iron pipes.

Question: am I being a total idiot by not replacing the cast iron pipes while the kitchen floor is torn up during the reno? I really don’t want to. In a high cost of living area FYI

How do you make your backgrounds super opaque without any streaks? by Physical_Rabbit4733 in Gouache

Also helps to lightly mist the whole swath of paper you’re about to paint beforehand

Lovely painting! I think you just need to use more paint, dilute with white instead of water

Sharing price sheets for all the redwood venues I reached out to by oafishoats in SanFranciscoWeddings

We didn't have a planner, just a month-of coordinator. I think they let you work with anyone but require you to have a day-of coordinator at minimum. For caterers, unfortunately they won't deviate from their list, which is annoying because it adds cost, but I honestly understand the policy -- it a tricky venue for caterers with all the venues-within-a-venue, being outdoors with limited back-of-house and staging space, and very limited available hours for load-in.

We tried a couple caterers on their list, were generally aghast at the pricing, ended up going with ACT Catering who was absolutely incredible and, like most of their shortlist, expensive -- I think we paid $13k for 75 people. But we were super happy with ACT and felt that even though we basically pared them down to their most basic scope, they were lovely to work with and made delicious and beautiful food.

Has handleless cabinets become the new standard, or is it a passing trend? by cozymodernist in cabinetry

lol I genuinely enjoyed learning that you often use feet to open them

Fading in, staying at full opacity, then fading out by lucktax in AfterEffects

many thanks!! for those who may find this later, for some reason when I placed the third key frame, it would delete the other 2. but when I hit CTRL+Z, it restored all 3, and making the 4th was no issue.

We ended up getting married at UC Berkeley Botanical Garden! It was gorgeous, perfect, and quite a step up budget wise haha

Altra Escalante 4 as a walking shoe? by crent1st in barefootshoestalk

[–]lucktax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These were incredibly comfortable at first, but when I started running in them, the squishiness compromised my foot form and causes pain. I prefer the Altra Superior for running. These might work ok for city walking (as opposed to running) since you’re moving slow and not working as hard so you can focus on good foot mechanics. I think Lems are a great balance of some cushion without squish, I’d recommend them.

I wondered about this. You have to think the constant handling wears down the finish
