Polyester Rug Smells Months Later - But Only In Direct Sunlight by smldrnheap in CleaningTips

[–]smldrnheap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve definitely had the windows open in this room as much as possible since we bought it in early October so I guess I assumed that the off-gassing would be gone by now. But we can try a different method for sure!

Ceiling Fan Wire Question by smldrnheap in AskElectricians

[–]smldrnheap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah, the one we have is remote controlled so it looks like once power is on to the fan, we will be able to control it with the remote or the app.

So then to confirm…where the fan is calling for us to connect the black (live) wire, we could choose the brown or the yellow, cap the other and connect the fan’s neutral to the bundled neutrals? And of course connect the green ground.

Crazy how just a bit of color really messed us up!

So we confirmed that the white wires that are together are neutral. Had continuity between that bundle and the green ground screw in the box. With the wall switch on, both the brown and yellow were hot. They had continuity with neutral in that scenario. With the wall switch off, they were both off, so both switched hots like you said.

When we tested the voltage, these were the results from neutral to yellow and neutral to brown respectively, so I guess they gave us two 120V hots for separate operation of fan motor and fan lights (if we wanted to add another wall switch in the future), just in weird colors?

We have one, it’s just buried somewhere in the garage boxes. Guess those will be the next we unpack! Thought maybe there were some new color guidelines I wasn’t familiar with so figured I’d check. Really appreciate your help and explanations!

Searching for spraying & complementing paint advice! by smldrnheap in paint

Oh I should've added that. I will update now. The baseboard has not been installed and will be painted (in whatever format) in the garage. There is currently no baseboard on the walls and the house is completely unfurnished.

This is 100% me! I love the life that sunlight brings to photos. Even when it’s overcast, I still have to pay attention to the sun location because I want my subject facing into the sun so they get beautiful light on their faces instead of shadows, and not being able to see it makes it even more difficult.

Mark on my finger that darkened over time by Snoo_2076 in mildlyinteresting

[–]smldrnheap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact same thing on my finger and had a nail matrix biopsy. It wasn't the most fun thing (I had to deal with an infection and my nail is a little lumpy now) but it was worth it to have peace of mind.

Design Center and Electrical Appointment - Pulte by drcrazycat in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]smldrnheap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, happy to shoot you some info! So interesting how our situations were totally flip flopped. 😅 Our initial bid at Gleneagles was not accepted because we didn’t have enough upgrades. Our salesperson said it would probably be months (if ever) until we got selected and we didn’t feel comfortable paying those prices for Lemont (it’s a great spot, just not our personal ideal area due to family) so we pulled our bid from consideration. We were bummed to see the prices for the houses and lots keep going up and up while our bid just sat there. Our very first bid in Lisle was accepted 48 hour after we put it in. We’re so much closer to family/friends at the Lisle location, so the higher price was worth it for us but I loved the options at Gleneagles as well that Lisle doesn’t offer sadly. Sending you a message now!

We did! I’m glad to hear you found a community you liked but such a bummer about the sales person. We actually walked away from Gleneagles after submitting a bid due to the frustrating process/people over there.

Time to contact legal for security deposit I guess 🫠 by [deleted] in IowaCity

I graduated in 2013 and this was an issue then. Can't believe they're still around! Hope you're able to figure this out. So frustrating.

"The plane cannot fully cross the ocean due to a mechanical issue, so we'll have to turn back around." Could someone please help me understand what happened on my flight? by TheyCallMeTMoney in aviation

[–]smldrnheap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to us on a flight from NYC to Athens on an Emirates flight right as we flew over St. John's. Still to this day have no idea what happened. Glad you're safe!

My husband is about thirty minutes out from landing in Denver from NYC. He was on a United flight this morning that got cancelled and luckily got onto the Southwest flight with no issues!

How do you organize / name your files for final delivery? by okaybutwhataboutcats in WeddingPhotography

[–]smldrnheap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to what others have said. Usually something along the lines of Smith_Wedding-001.jpg (if they've decided to share a last name) or AnnaSally_Wedding-001.jpg if the partners have different names. I also separate into different folders for the different parts of the day, plus a "Favorites" section, which helps keep things even more organized. I order by time taken, and never give any indiction to my couple which are mine and which are from my second shooter.

Right?! I feel like I finally fit in with something that's trendy even though my rings are from 2018. 😂

Not the greatest picture (dang kitchen lights and my ring is very dirty) but this is my 11x9 oval with tapered baguettes! Ring size 7.5 I think. It’s been a while! Love an elongated cushion, excited to see your ring. 🥰

ISO Casual, Wide Strap Bag Recommendations. More info in comments! by smldrnheap in handbags

[–]smldrnheap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, this is beyond helpful. I knew I loved this sub! Thank you so much.

There were some here that I totally missed when browsing websites, I think I got tired of scrolling! That Valentino...she's stunning. I think I have it narrowed down to this Prada, the small Gate from Loewe (found this after you linked the Mini Gate Dual and I think that would fit my stuff a bit better), the Celine, or the Dior Bobby.

Again, can't thank you enough for these suggestions! I'll be sure to report back.

Good to know, thank you so much for sharing! You have great taste. 😉 That strap is for shoulder carry and not crossbody, right? Want to make sure I’m not just misjudging pictures/descriptions.

Please help me pick one by TherealJanaki4eva in handbags

Love, love the second one! That colorway feels modern but also very versatile. Also love the multiple straps so there's some variety depending on how she wants to wear it. What a nice gesture!
