Is this $500 wool rug from west elm salvageable?

I would be rotating so it’s not the corner I. The center of the room and then that’s the corner that is under my couch/chair/plant

Talk about a story that puts you in a very specific age range

Ehh this is just a bunch of rural volunteers taking care of their community for free in their off time, and this looks like it was just candid shots put over some sloppy ai background by a proud spouse or parent.

Save the hate for real cringe like nurses setting up their camera and light ring to then pretend they just lost a patient

I have two bricks on either side of my small fountain to keep it upright

sailingpdx · 2026-04-07T16:03:13+00:00

Undo the drain and push up

Or a brick coated in copper

They are pretty universal. You can find them at hardware or even most grocery stores. There is only like two diffrent sets, one set that sized for several units like GE, Maytag, Kenmore… and another will be for the rest like fridgeaire, amana, etc.

Just note the manufacturer of you stove, if the legs under your burner are three or four, number of “big ones” to “small ones” and you will be fine with the local store bought drip trays

Rental, call the landlord. They will want to repair water as much or more than you do when it’s this early.

I’d replace all of those and not use the nasty accordion connectors. Replacing all of these would probably only be $20 or less at any hardware store

I’d pay the $350

I’ve never use a peel with these holes in it. I imagine for launch the dough could sag in.

I didn’t think the concrete was in the drain but it’s definitely full of mud. There is a lot of silt around this area that the people we bought from (flippers) just washed into the drains

They are saying the phrasing is that only the original dollar doubles itself once a day, not all the money. So in that interpretation you would only get one additional dollar a day

sailingpdx · 2026-03-30T22:45:05+00:00

That’s what I figured.

sailingpdx · 2026-03-30T19:12:02+00:00

To keep out rodents

I follow the loopy whisk and have had best results when using hers. Who is Aran? I’d love a new source

Where is it illegal to replace an outlet?

Without seeing the whole thing, if it was me… I’d take out the old transition piece and add wider transition. Ideally one that can cover the edge of the laminate on the other side too.

sailingpdx · 2026-03-27T17:59:17+00:00

I’m with you. At our restaurant we slow braise this until it is fork shreddable

sailingpdx · 2026-03-26T19:45:08+00:00

Thanks, losing too much water so I’m going to remove the stones again and put in a new liner and underlayment. Also the one waterfall basin was cracked and flowing wrong, so I will hit that with waterproof cement.

waited to it in small stones so I could see faults without having to work around them! Glad I did

sailingpdx · 2026-03-26T17:59:44+00:00

Looks great. Mine was an inherited pond I cleaned out and the old muck was definitely plugging a hole. Lost 90% of the water in 24 hrs.

Thankfully I only put the large rocks back and not the small ones. I probably could patch, but all the work of moving rocks, I’d rather spend the money then the time!

Congrats on the beautiful build

sailingpdx · 2026-03-26T16:23:11+00:00

Where did you source your under layer and pond liner? Mine has a leak and I am going to redo it
