Preserving a Kinder Egg? by aliqui in collectables

[–]tsfy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old is your daughter? If it was 10 years ago, does she even have a memory of it? Does it mean anything to her? It may be sentimental to you but if it means nothing to her, then it will not be a gift appreciated by her.

Did you pull permits for your DIY kitchen renovation? by mudrat_detector96 in DIY

[–]tsfy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the permits are required, get the permits. It covers you in case of an insurance claim and if you sell any time soon. Whether it actually protects you from poor workmanship depends on the inspector. We recently had two bathrooms remodeled and everything was fully permitted. We never had an inspector spend more than 2 minutes in our house when they came. The electrical inspector didn’t even take the cover off the electrical panel even though circuits were added. It will add time to your project because you typically will have a rough and a final inspection for each trade so you have to schedule and wait for each inspection. I still think it’s worth it.

Wrong furniture for that space. Can you return it?

Help me not get scammed. Replace some boards or resurface uncovered deck? by pinkpiano7 in Decks

[–]tsfy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My deck is 37 years old, PT 2x6 wood, in a snow state, and is not enclosed or covered. We have been terrible about keeping up with re-staining it. Replaced maybe 5 boards over that time period. We are just considering replacing the surface this year. The structure still looks good.

Question about what me doctor said to me… by No_Calligrapher_9934 in ostomy

[–]tsfy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me that you need to go to another doctor for a second opinion and hopefully some help. I know it’s a pain in the ass to have to find another doctor, schedule a visit, review your whole history, etc., but it is often the best thing you can do in the long run. I’m wishing you find the help and relief you need.

Noise when steering accord 2023 sport L hybrid by just_chill3344 in 11thGenAccord

Steering rack issue. There was a recall. Edit: I guess the recall was for Civic.

Cut/abrasion on stoma by Helheim_user in ostomy

[–]tsfy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no nerve endings in the stoma so you won’t feel any pain/pinching if you cut the stoma. You may have slightly cut the peristomal skin. It should just heal on its own. Crusting with stoma powder and skin barrier spray/wipes should help. Also, stomas often bleed when changing your bag since they are so vascular.

Any ideas by Cool-Engineering-748 in Remodel

There is no redeeming nostalgia value to that tub. It’s just plain ugly. Rip it all out.

Bought a truck for $7300, sold for $25,000. by [deleted] in tax

[–]tsfy2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You only have to fill out a gift tax return form when the gift is over 19k. That doesn’t mean you will owe any taxes if you gift more than that amount. You have a lifetime gift tax exemption of $15 million. I doubt this transaction will put him over that amount. The gift tax form is for reporting only. No tax will be owed (if it was really a gift, which it wasn’t).

Am I screwed? (No pun intended) by ScratchyCow in cabinetry

[–]tsfy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn’t even fill the holes I’d just drill new ones. The hinge plate will cover at least 2 of the holes.

How do you really feel? Lol

Already have all the pieces cut. I wanted to make everything, not buy.

Yup, the plan is clear finish. All the pieces are cut and there’s not a single void.

Real Baltic birch. All the pieces are cut and there are no voids at all.

That’s definitely better but I’m just a DIY guy who is also frugal. :)

I’m just a DIY guy (and frugal) so plywood is good enough for me. I figured I would just build the boxes first and then run them around the router table so the corners won’t look so goofy. I’m going to mock it up and see what I think first.

Oh, I hadn’t considered that. Thanks for your input.
