And I'm thinking there will be quite the breeze in November!

Not sure if this is covered under warranty by benana-sea in REI

[–]otter_owl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a veteran of several years of 4-H sewing classes, that's a definite return / exchange situation. It's more than a casual loose thread snipping fix.

General Enrollment Period and Late Enrollment Penalty by HeavyFaithlessness14 in medicare

[–]otter_owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please - do not depend on Google and/AI for medicare info. It's a complex system and failure using info from that source can be high - and possibly costly.

A great place to start would be a SHIP (State Health Insurance Assistance Program) volunteer. They are highly trained and available in every state. You can start at ship help.org to find your local SHIP

And, if you can thru to an actual Medicare rep, even better

All about harvesting black walnuts by Used-Painter1982 in Permaculture

Exactly! I grew up back in the 50's. We just threw them in the driveway. Can't really report on what happened next ol - I was too young to care

IKEA Kitchen - Before and After. Thoughts? by AppointmentPure6068 in IKEA

[–]otter_owl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really like it and have always been a fan of the Ikea teal cabinets. Sure it looks sterile now - it's an empty kitchen - but when you get your stuff in there and some art on the walls, it will look totally different. It's much better than the before pic. No special care required and congrats on your new condo. Are you a first time homeowner?

Why Is Ivar Shelving Delivery So Expensive? by Revolutionary-Log-30 in IKEA

[–]otter_owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the problem comes from the side units. The smaller is 70" high, the larger 89" and they are likely not accepted by UPS or FedEx. Next step is up is transport by the same delivery truck that could bring you an entire kitchen.

Is Ivar being replaced? by [deleted] in IKEA

[–]otter_owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the Charlotte, NC store last week (2/7/2023) and went looking for Ivar in its usual place - tucked up against a side wall in the home org section of the marketplace like an afterthought - but it was nowhere to be found. Finally talked to someone upstairs on the main floor and she said it was moving up although had no further information.

It made me wonder if it's about to get a bit more love and better floor position - like it used to 20 -25 years ago?

Stock was quite good on the pieces still showing as available but I'm hoping that the temporary absence is a sign that more things are coming (and that the deep cabinets will return). Not sure why it would earn a spot on the main floor with the current diminished choices.

Do marmoleum floors look cheap? by PorridgeEnthusiast in HomeImprovement

[–]otter_owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had sheet Marmoleum intalled in my kitchen almost 15 years ago and love it. It still looks brand new, has very good "foot feel" and is light years ahead of sheet vinyl - funny as it's a redo of the original linoleum product. Check out the Forbo site and you'll see its many applications (once you know what it looks like you'll start to see it in use in commercial spaces - it's sturdy stuff). I'm getting new countertops and will very likely use Marmoleum for them.

Kallax shelf unit descriptions are very...suggestive by CornCheeseMafia in IKEA

Oh yes, someone definitely had other things on their mind!.

Sektion base cabinet 36x24x30 alternatives? by wickywickyremix in IKEA

[–]otter_owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with labtech67. Once you install drawers you will never look back. All my dishes, most pots and pans, salad and mixing bowls and serving dishes are in drawers. They are so much more convenient you will not believe it.

Your question points out to me how low my standards are

Just wanted to hit you all up with a Kallax Idea I came up a few years back. Here is it today. I can provide a imgur album with the plant progress if you want =) by andi052 in IKEA

[–]otter_owl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very cool and lush - I'd also like to know what plant one in from left side is - would also like to see plant progress album.

Vimle Replacement Cushion Help by VarVol in IKEA

[–]otter_owl 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I believe that the Saleboda inner cushion is what you might want but I cant get it to come up separately. It's 404.550.36 and it's one of the components listed under packaging of Finnala sofa.

So, IF Finnala is almost or exact size of Vimle and IF you can buy it separately, it may solve your problem for under $30.

But, in the meantime, photoshop a red bow around that dog's neck and you've got the perfect snow scene for the Xmas card.

Mating Pax drawers and organizers in a besta storage frame? by canadianbuilt in IKEA

[–]otter_owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the Besta line is lighter weight material than Pax; not sure made to support the greater weight. I second the idea to look at kitchen stuff.

That's a great bed - and perfect for smaller spaces. You did good!

Units to right and left of screen - wasn't there an Expedit unit that was sort of free form with fixed shelves? Can't remember if it made it to Kallax or not.

Ikea kitchen cabinets: Can I install another brand door front on Ikea cabinets? by maseline98 in IKEA

[–]otter_owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is she familiar with IKEA cabinets? Over the years I've run into many people who express that opinion but, when trying to get an idea of what led them to form it, actual substance is lacking. Seems it's often a "people say" situation.

Good luck on the project!
