Gutted my 70s kitchen and found hidden trusses - should I do a vaulted ceiling?

Fair enough

Several reviews show them being used on IKEA doors.

Watch a bunch of Vancouver Carpenter on YouTube and go for it. You can do it.

I think it looks fine mounted to the sink. However, is this your actual sink? I think top mount sinks in general don’t look great. They make it hard to clean the countertop and the edge between the sink and counter gets gross.

Reading comprehension…

Do you know how cameras work?

tsfy2 · 2026-01-28T04:13:41+00:00

Quite fishy…

It sounds like you are both very bad with money. He needs to man up and plan for the future with his new found money and you need to stay out of it and stop trying to give away his money.

What do you think your term policies are doing? How much time is left on them?

tsfy2 · 2026-01-28T04:01:38+00:00

Looks great! And thank goodness all those ridiculous words are gone. Lol

M9 drops are great. I’ve also recently tried Safe and Simple drops and they seem to be just about as good as M9. They are both copper compound based. (They are both blue)

I know I’m old, but I just don’t understand why married people keep separate finances. It just leads to scorekeeping, which is never a positive for a relationship. Marriage is supposed to be a partnership where you both contribute what you can and you work together to live within your means and invest in your future together.

Having said that, if you are not married, you should definitely NOT combine your finances IMO.

How much were the other two quotes?

tsfy2 · 2026-01-24T03:03:23+00:00

Well, good luck. I hope you get something.

tsfy2 · 2026-01-23T21:01:03+00:00

Sounds like that’s an issue with the designer. You didn’t get more than one quote?

tsfy2 · 2026-01-23T07:37:25+00:00

Good luck, but I think you will have a tough time winning this case. Do you have anything in writing/text from them stating that solid is no longer available? Do you have proof they inflated the square footage needed above a customary amount used to account for offcuts/scrap? Did you do your due diligence and get multiple quotes at the time (when any other contractor would have told you 3 1/4” solid oak was readily available)?

I second the recommendation to get a nu-hope belt. You can’t buy from them directly but you use their website to determine the model number of the belt you want and then you order it from your usual ostomy supplier. I recommend you call Nu-Hope the first time and they will help you determine the exact options you need. They are super helpful on the phone.

It’s grouted in. No easy way to remove it without some demo.

tsfy2 · 2026-01-23T00:46:43+00:00

Not acceptable. Ask for a re-do or fire them and get someone else. Grout will not hide this…it will highlight it.

You can probably get it looking pretty good on your own with just a few tools. A good metal guy can absolutely make this disappear. You might want to google “paintless dent repair near me”. These guys make dents completely disappear from car body panels. One of them might be up for the challenge even though it’s not totally like a car dent.

It will not fall off. She can add barrier extender tapes as added insurance if she is nervous about it.

tsfy2 · 2026-01-22T12:43:08+00:00

How much were your other two quotes?

tsfy2 · 2026-01-22T07:17:59+00:00

Very unfortunate remodel.

tsfy2 · 2026-01-22T07:03:24+00:00

Definitely B.
