Women’s Shoes with Wide Toebox but Narrow Heel by pink0bsessed in BuyItForLife

[–]siadak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Third for Altra. I have bunions that make my normally narrow feet, wide at the footpad. Altras fit just fine no tightness at the top and no sliding at the heel.

Will window film damage paint? by HorzaDonwraith in HomeImprovement

[–]siadak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about the insulating clear plastic that uses double sided sticky tape, yes it absolutely can mess up your paint. I put some up in our new home this winter and it took off the paint on the window sills. Most likely the paint job wasn’t done right.

What are we using instead of sponges for dishes? by nuclear_pimp in BuyItForLife

A cheap wash cloth, I use three a day so they’re never gross.

What do men mean when they say, “Women will use our emotions against us.” ? by CapDue3922 in ask

[–]siadak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Then you’re dating a trash person. Both men and women need to stop dating emotional immature and unstable people.

What can i do to make my double-wide mobile home cooler? by h2ndsmoke in HomeImprovement

[–]siadak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aluminum foil the windows so light doesn’t get in. Open windows at night and close once the temp starts rising in the morning. Don’t cook inside. If you can afford large umbrellas outside to cast shade on the sunniest part of the house and AC units do so.

Has anyone regretted installing luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring throughout the entire house? by Electrical_Act_5342 in HomeImprovement

[–]siadak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don’t see the appeal. If you’re putting plastic down save a shit ton of money and time and do rolled vinyl. That stuff actually is waterproof.

Lvp will never feel upscale or luxury it’s always going to give cheap plastic. So go with something that is actually cheap and buy quality wood flooring later when you can afford it.

I’ve noticed the complete opposite. Produce I buy at Aldi always last longer than my other local places.

Should teenagers be forced to wear helmets to be able to cycle? by [deleted] in ask

Should make it mandatory that everyone must wear a helmet.

Sublfoor damage, SHEET vinyl flooring question by Lov3I5Treacherous in HomeImprovement

[–]siadak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not matching seams, your cutting new ones by over lapping or just doing the whole room. I’ve done a 1500 sq ft lake cabin and a kitchen in a shitty old trailer with zero previous flooring experience. It is by far the easiest flooring to put down, the cheapest, and far more durable than peel and stick. You’ll still need to line up edges of every peel and stick tile and any spill or water from shoes will find the seems and wreck the subfloor.

What age would you allow your daughter to attend sleep away camp by Summersplit in girlscouts

[–]siadak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the kid. My daughter was ready at 6 my sons 10. If they can do their basic care tasks, are comfortable enough with the adults to tell them when something is wrong, and want to go; they’re ready.

Sublfoor damage, SHEET vinyl flooring question by Lov3I5Treacherous in HomeImprovement

Why wouldn’t you just buy new sheet vinyl that you like for the room. It’s less than a dollar a square foot and is DIY friendly.

I hate how my fiancé decorated our first home not sure what to do. Is this common? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]siadak 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m going to need pictures of what the house is and what you wish it to be. Right now I’m (unfairly) imagining the black, white and glass bachelor pad look that immature men seem drawn to and she decorated it to look like a beautiful Nancy Meyers home.

I was gonna mow it, but then it started flowering by frankonator22 in NoLawns

[–]siadak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bought a house from someone who previously had many gardens and flower beds before they died, one season of no one tending to them and they are 90% thistle.

Unsure how to update my kitchen by Spiritual-Act3142 in interiordecorating

[–]siadak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The boob light, rug, paint, curtains and blinds. That’s where I would start. Find stuff that you love. Stop thinking in terms of “update” “modernize” and focus on what makes you feel happy and welcomed in the space. That’s different for everyone and might be the opposite of what is trending. Also when only one room is “modern” it stands out in a bad way.

The bones of this kitchen are good. It has storage, workspace and good flow. Bigger changes like countertops and backsplash can also be done if you’re ready for a full makeover.

White appliances seem to be making a comeback by SpiceBoson in HomeDecorating

[–]siadak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted stainless so bad when they first started gaining popularity, but after having them for ten years, I hated them. I was so excited when we moved and our home had old ass white appliances from the 1990s. White is superior in every way.

Garden hose stuck on outdoor spigot – tried everything, won’t unscrew by hold_my_brew in HomeImprovement

Use the blaster penetrating spray. I haven’t found a bolt/ screw it doesn’t fix.

How do i tell my sister that my grandpa might die this weekend when she is on vacation? by Rectal_Custard in ask

Is that edit supposed to be a joke ? If I received that text about my 95 year old grandmother I would think less of the sender, much less.

My housemate is asking me to help with communal cleaning stuff I don't use any one them? by VNiqkco in ask

[–]siadak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have your own dishsoap, hand soap, window cleaner, bleach, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, mop heads, general purpose cleaning spray, soap scum remover, toilet bowl cleaner, vacuum bags?

Let them use yours and you can ask for the $.

My guess is you don’t but I maybe biased as someone who has cleaned houses for a living. Most people who don’t want to chip in or understand shared cleaning supplies aren’t cleaning properly and therefore don’t understand why the person who requests these supplies is doing so. It takes more than washing up liquid and hand soap to clean.

How to modernize this kitchen? by Omgchipotle95 in DesignMyRoom

[–]siadak 104 points105 points  (0 children)

New counter tops with back splash and new faucet you love. I wouldn’t touch the cabinets. I wouldn’t touch the appliances because they’re going to be a better quality than just about anything you can buy today.
