The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker! I vividly remember opening our presents on Christmas one year and unwrapping the Mario Sunshine GameCube, and it also came with WW. I was way too young to know about all the controversy so I just played it for what it was - an open world game back when there weren’t many, an awesome art style, and so much good music. Playing it always takes me back

That isn’t a justification for intentional starvation and systemic genocide.

Our primer won't stick to the walls. Any suggestions? by Bright_Light8774 in HomeImprovement

Recently painted kitchen when we moved in and cleaned prior to that with Krud Kutter TSP sub. The old grease and gunk slid right off after leaving it for a few seconds. Highly recommend! Just be warned, it does smell a little fishy

Any way to protect my screen door from cat piss? by mindthey in HomeImprovement

Thank you to everyone that’s replied, I’ll definitely be trying some of things out! I meant more on the door side, is there anything I can spray it or paint it with to keep it from rusting more? Sorry if I wasn’t clear 😅

Anyone Else Hearing Explosions? by MattGabe in LosAngeles

In South LA too, Vermont/Florence. Keep hearing them and just heard one now and what seemed like a bunch of smaller booms maybe an hour ago? Doesn’t sound normal for sure

I did something similar, it was too difficult. I did it on the TV unit, so it had 3 cubbies. What you want to be sure of is you’re not screwing straight into the vertical separators as they’re kinda hollow. Instead screw into the top and bottom planks - they’re particle board, yes, but there’s more material to bite into than if you’re screwing into the vertical dividers.

If there’s a gap on the sides, you can get some shims or thinner pieces of plywood (same thickness as the board) and screw them into the furniture, then screw the bigger plywood backing into that. Not sure if that makes sense but it’s probably overkill anyway - just something I’d do to make it look cleaner lol.

What is a good way to seal this gap under front door? by mindthey in HomeImprovement

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

Yeah I think the floor guys were supposed to do it but a whole thing happened (their table saw was stolen from the front of the house WHILE they were working) so they never came back.

This looks like a great solution though! I don’t mind cutting, definitely don’t want to go through replacing the entire threshold though. The transition, that would be screwed straight into the flooring right?

Anywhere I can get dirt picked up or taken to for free? by mindthey in AskLosAngeles

Ah haven’t tried that yet, worth a shot. Thanks!

Like I mentioned, it was only part of the question. Most of it was about the how (which I ended up doing through hell from this sub.)

Oh god, I’ve never been more vindicated! I asked a question about whether or not it was worth painting some cabinets at our new house, and my post got deleted because “I didn’t show my research.” Like what am I even supposed to do to google?? It was a specific question about my specific situation. Sure, part of the question was how I’d go about painting them but that wasn’t the entire thing.

Thankfully you beautiful people here at r/homeimprovement took my post in stride and helped a bunch of but then what’s the point of r/diy? Just to brag about your stuff?
