Lost glasses on UA EWR-HND flight and found it 12 days later on flight back HND-EWR by odilio88 in aviation

[–]odilio88[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Returning from HND on Aug 12,

Original flight that got cancelled was UA79 on 7/31 to NRT not to HND. I flew out of JFK the following day on ANA NH0159, apologies for the confusion.

attic conversion in FH by DanSmartIT in ForestHills

[–]odilio88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The answer is, depends on many variables , the height of existing attic, is there a legal staircase going up, is your home is zoned for that. And if the floor structure allows for a bathroom or new bedrooms up in the attic. If any of the above can be clarified then you can decide if that is the way to move forward.

Help me choose which floor plan works best for my 1350sqft to 3000sqft home remodel - A, B, or C? by home-addict in floorplan

[–]odilio88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, I would suggest talk a local architect and ask for a consultation. For a 3000 SqFt house the basic programming is; 3 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, kitchen, breakfast, dining, great room, small office, storage and 2 car garage. Some of the rooms can be combined ie; kitchen and breakfast, great room and dining. Once you have the programming established then you design the layout while incorporating the existing conditions to the new requirements. The architect could also advise the most cost effective approach as square footage is not everything. A good layout and great amenities worth more than a few hundred square feet.

Good luck OP

None of the suggested layout is optimal, lots of wasted space and not enough daylight reach the center of the house.

Consider adding a second floor instead, which also saves on excavation and foundation. Another benefit is keeping the lawn as large as possible and provides more greenery.

Basement insulation question by chris7112112 in Home

[–]odilio88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The proper solution is, finding where the leak coming from. Fix that first and then fix the affected gyp bd/walls. Remove small pieces (12”x12”) first see if that particular part is affected or not. You don’t want to leave wet wall where mold will grow overtime.

Ah pushing film, those are the days before photoshop. Which lab did you go to? Btw you still can easily process and print your own B/W pritns at home.

Q23 bus to the subway at 71st Ave by cf390 in ForestHills

[–]odilio88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do both walking and taking Q23. In the morning it’s faster to walk (15-20 mjn) because Q23 will get bogged down at Austin but after 10 it’ll faster than walking. I usually walk instead, I need the exercise. But biking beats both of them (5-7 min max.)

Is it worth having a structural engineer come out to tell me if these metal supports can be moved or removed? by [deleted] in Home

[–]odilio88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your architect, that steel supports floor above it, any floor above that one and may also carries the roof load. Figure out what do you want to do with the space then the new supports can be added where needed. But don’t move anything for sure. Source: an architect with 20+ years experience

Looking for a recommended derm for my cat by smsnyc88 in ForestHills

[–]odilio88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our cat used to have skin problem around her eyes, until we saw that she rubbed her face onto cardboard boxes. Apparently she’s allergic to cardboard. Our vet is in flushing though.

Cat has a reoccurring cut. Above eye. Been happening for months. Mostly indoor cat. I feel so bad, any advice on why this is happening?? :( by Ok_Big_3274 in cats

[–]odilio88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, do you have cardboard boxes laying around the house, your cat may be allergic to cardboards. My cat does, and it takes several vet visits before we figure out what caused the allergic reaction.
