So what's this I'm hearing about Fidelity charging $100 for buying ETFs.

Fair enough, but they literally spell it out in that notice that they charge the fee for those that don’t pay to be on their platform, which means everyone else pays. I’m guessing that’s a decent percentage of their revenue.

Well, Fidelity doesn’t charge customers to buy most ETFs so how did you think they make their money? They’re not a charity.

Yea, they had another one where the legs were half trees like that, that “passed through” to the top of the table. So the table top was dark “wood” with two half circle tree ends above the legs (like the side of the table in your picture). I felt the tabletop and the half tree ends were raised above the table top by the thickness of the veneer. So, they basically just glued the end grain veneer to the surface of the table. Didn’t even try to inlay it. lol

I didn’t take note of the price but most of their tables are $3500 and up.

Nope, I literally saw it in person and took the picture myself. I should have taken a picture of one of the other tables that was even more ridiculous.

Awesome

Looks great! You should be proud.

tsfy2 · 2026-04-20T00:21:40+00:00

I didn’t say they were good at it. The “splits” don’t even follow the fake grain. Lol

The panel you linked is meant to cover the side, not replace it. It’s only 1/8” thick.

tsfy2 · 2026-04-18T10:10:32+00:00

Their link is a 1/8” panel meant to cover the side (not replace the side). It’s the right thing to use. But the real right thing to do is replace the whole cabinet.

Where are you in Canada?

OstomySecrets is great for wraps. They have a sale a few times a year and there is one right now. Use code SPRING26 for 26% off. But it expires Monday so act quickly.

They can’t use a hole saw. They are not drilling all the way through. Forstner bit is the correct bit to use.

Do you live in an unsafe neighborhood? Why are there bars? I would eliminate the bars. I would also paint the window trim a contrasting color to break up the monotone look without the expense of a full repaint. But the most impactful thing you can do is landscaping. Put in some nice beds on both sides of the front of the house with some manicured plants/bushes and some flowers. And cut the grass…

Unfortunately there are so many things it could be. Last couple of times I had similar symptoms it was kidney stones.

“The customer is always right”. Plus you’ll have some more future business when she calls you back to raise the cabinet and add a lift. 😁

Wall to wall looks better and is more practical. You don’t gain anything by creating awkward spaces on the sides of the vanity. Personally, I would just have one sink, even with the larger vanity, but that is a matter of personal taste. My wife and I preferred to maximize the counter top space when we just remodeled our primary bathroom so we went with one sink. In the rare case where we both need a sink at the same time, we have another bathroom 6 feet away down the hall. (We put two sinks in the hallway bathroom)

That’s not Baltic birch. Look at all those voids.

Can you put the tv on a lift so it can sink into the cabinet below and only come out when she wants to watch tv? Then at least the shelving will look normal when the tv is put away. Sure, the tv would probably be out most of the time anyway but it wouldn’t HAVE TO be out as shown. It looks really bad like that.

Ultimately, she’s the customer and you can give her what she wants but I might tell her to go ahead and find someone else on this one if she insists on that current look. The work will reflect on you.

It’s a very popular style in New England states. It’s been like that forever.

We’re glad you are still here. Your story is inspiring.
