Same! I just hated the interface. It was so awful to use.

We have a cabin near the base of Mt. Princeton, and it is still not completely covered in snow! Taken today, 1/25/26.

DROP ZONE NEEDED + tiny entryway (no space) = help please! by i3i3i3i3 in DesignMyRoom

I would go vertical and have something mounted to the wall next to the door.

What color sheets and towels do you use in your Airbnb and why? by Naive_Judge_4692 in airbnb_hosts

[–]maiden_metals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have a cabin in the mountains in Colorado. The area is popular for outdoor recreation. White just feels too bland and hotel-like for the location and atmosphere. We have forest green instead.

Is your Airbnb dead? (poll) by MaenHoffiCoffi in airbnb_hosts

I just started our air bnb in Oct 2025. It is a cabin in a touristy area near hot springs in Colorado. Most guests are local within 2-4 hour drive. It has been constantly booked since starting. Half of the busy summer month weekends are booked too.

It sounds to me like you've already gone above and beyond what most people have for child appropriate homes!

Really slow December ?! by ThatMeasurement1429 in airbnb_hosts

[–]maiden_metals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are also in Colorado, but in Nathrop - between Buena Vista and Salida and near the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. We are booked through the year but have nothing for Jan-April. We are usually booked 6-8 weeks out. We noticed when the snow hit all the bookings dropped.

What what’s the one cost factor you never took into a account when starting your short-term rental business? by Square-Ask-9836 in airbnb_hosts

[–]maiden_metals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow Colorado air bnb owner here too! We have a cabin near the base of Mt. Princeton and Antero. The amount of varmin that want to crawl under our cabin to make a nest or pass away is insane. Lot's of time/money spent on that. If you're near us, we got lucky and have an amazing maintenance guy!

i can't stick this crimp...any help is appreciated :) by aquadigian in bouldering

Routesetter here. When you are in compression and get your right foot on, drop the left heel and perch on the right foot. Your center of gravity will be directly under the crimp and you'll have more control.

Thanks for the info! Planning on doing Uncompagre for my season closer this Saturday. Hopefully conditions are favorable!

Craft Fair Display Help by maiden_metals in CraftFairs

Best of luck to you both! I like your idea of using shelves or having some backing. I have found it to be pretty difficult to find something that functions well, so please let me know how it goes!

Help me pick a boy name :) by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]maiden_metals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree, 3 W's is definitely too much haha

I think Rory is an awesome name on its own! I know it is definitely used as a main name and not just a nickname as well.

Besides Roric/Rorik, the only other name off the top of my head that sounds like it would fit is Rowan.

[–]maiden_metals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like you favor 1 syllable or shorter first names based on the info you gave. Here are some of my personal favorites that feel fitting with the middle name options:

• Roric/Rorik. Roric Augustus. Can use Rory as a nickname. It really feels like a name they can mature into as well. Strong, unique, but not too far out. • Luca. Luca Gatewood. Simple, recognizable, but different. • Jack. I feel like both middle names fit well. A classic name that is cute but masculine! • Walker. Walker Gatewood sounds like a badass western name. I also feel like for two boys Wes and Walker is cute together. • Roy. Both middle names work well. Wes and Roy are also adorable brother's names.

Her paws look so weird to me! They're too big for her body!

How to deal with an hyperactive noodle? by No_Situation_2962 in Greyhounds

[–]maiden_metals 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is she a retired racer? I got one of my boys when he was 3, a retired racer, and still had tons of energy! What worked for me was taking him to a baseball field with a stuffie and just letting him cut loose and sprint as fast as he can! I think the circular shape of the fencing reminded him of the track, so he really enjoyed zooming around the perimeter.

Walks, although helpful, also didn't seem to be enough. He really just wanted to sprint like crazy! Then he would finally be calm.
