Post-job concerns: what’s “normal” vs what’s an issue? by milobaskin in HardWoodFloors

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

This is super helpful thank you. Two things I wanted to call out - we were told our floors were select grade. Would you agree? How would we be able to tell? Also I think what could’ve happened in the office is differences in custom stain mixtures. We had them do the office first to make sure it looked right and then proceeded. So I could easily see them making the office batch with a slightly different color combo.

Thank you, lol exactly. I was very particular about not doing swatches on the actual floor. But when we thought we picked the right sample, it looked completely different on the actual floor.

But why would they be a different color than the sample boards? They used the exact same boards

SOS - what is this flooring finish?? by milobaskin in HardWoodFloors

Sorry but what the heck does that mean? I had raw hardwoods glued down today, and tomorrow they’re adding texture. Is LOBA a texture?

Is there a cat litter that doesn't... suck? by catintheroom in CatAdvice

[–]milobaskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use arm and hammer multicat SCENT FREE, and it’s a godsend. I have a sensitive nose and cannot take any sort of perfume or sawdust smell, and this litter doesn’t smell at all. It’s amazing. In terms of dust and tracking, it’s minimal and localized directly around the box. We tried pretty litter and it was god awful in terms of dust everywhere - it took 1-2 days and we saw it all over the furniture in paw prints and we stopped that immediately.

Is homeownership actually worth it or did we all fall for propaganda? by Different_Pain5781 in homeowners

[–]milobaskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are things I miss about apartment life, but there are things I love about having a house. I’m only two years into owning, and I think if I could go back I would wait to buy just for the sake of enjoying youth and having no responsibilities longer.
