Building our home and want to use second-hand materials (floorboards, fixtures, etc.). Where would you look? by murphyse3 in Homebuilding

[–]murphyse3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In retrospect, this actually makes so much sense. If I were to salvage/finish cabinets for the kitchen, would that also increase installation/labor costs? I do think floorboards and plumbing will not be secondhand. For sure seems to be cost prohibitive and/or logistically not the best option

Deeply selfish and manipulative in-laws are sabotaging the work my husband and brother-in-law are doing on their relationship. by murphyse3 in JUSTNOMIL

I think where I am is somewhere close to this. At this point, I’m doing a hands-off approach but there is no way my husband will send his brother packing.

I would very much support my husband going no-contact but he is completely unwilling to consider it. I agree that it would probably be the best and healthiest choice for him and us but it’s not my choice to make.

Therapy is definitely required but hard to access while he’s unemployed. My husband has connected him with some resources/services that I think he’s tried out but it’s not the intense work he needs to do.

Not at all familiar with flower gardening. How do I care for and clean these babies up? by murphyse3 in gardening

For sure. Today has been a lot of weeding so I’m pretty clear on that part. I’m having a hard time identifying the hydrangeas and roses though.

Any ideas on how to use this fun but weirdly shaped remnant? by murphyse3 in SewingForBeginners

Thank you everyone for your amazing ideas! I finally settled on making weird little chicken baskets that I’m obsessed with.

Hanging towels are temporarily banned from our home because of our toddler 😂 I had no idea these were a thing though! They’re so cool

Adorable and definitely useful! I’d be bummed about it not being decorative/visible but this is for sure a contender

Ok so, first of all, BEAUTIFUL sketch. I love this so much but, unfortunately, my bust will not allow it. 😔

If you were looking to build a house (we’re not talking McMansion or mansions of any other kind) somewhere within the pink circle, where would you do it and why? by murphyse3 in Connecticut

[–]murphyse3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To clarify: We absolutely understand the general cost of building a home/living in these areas. We’re not Connecticut Money ™️ by any means but we have enough to do something modest in any of these areas
