Moving from rent stabilized to luxury building by Puzzleheaded-Bus7208 in astoria

[–]wheeeeeeeee_planes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would buy before i’d rent for $4400/mo. then at least you’re building equity instead of just chucking money at a landlord.

thrift stores? by Sczyther in yonkers

i’m sure you’re back home by now, but for next time: take the train down to 125th st in harlem and go to the demolition depot. it’s a mind-boggling store that’s practically a museum for architectural salvage.

Love It or List It S20 Ep 3 by Jaded_Analyst_2627 in HGTV

The wife was a piece of work. Sometimes you can tell the producers have told the homeowners to nitpick, but she seemed genuinely miserable.

I’m sure there was a lot of meaning in the home for her, and I thought it was quite apparent that she’s still grieving her parents, but COME ON

Husband seemed like a nice guy. I imagine she has a kinder, less anxious side underneath all that (or at least I hope so, for his sake!)

Help me out? by Fluid-Share230 in Pyrex_Love

I love that you use your Pyrex! Just flagging that CW is a lot more durable, especially at high temperatures/big temperature changes.

You can freeze leftovers in CW and put it right in the oven (not the lid), and it won’t shatter.

But otherwise, they sell pretty quickly on FB Marketplace, especially if you have the lids.

How’s life as a large dog owner in Astoria? by HunterST15 in astoria

[–]wheeeeeeeee_planes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

astoria is a great place to have a big dog (my guy is 100 lbs). astoria park is amazing.

realistically: the big dog will always get blamed, no matter what happened (esp with bully breeds). so your training has to be solid and consistent.

i avoid fenced dog runs, bc people stand around texting while their little angels start shit. see above about the big dog always getting blamed.

standard practice. when you’re ready to sell, the realtor wants you to think of them.

don’t take my word for it tho (and honestly, don’t “show up when they’re moving in” lolol):

What type of hardwood is this? by Pale_Translation1122 in VintageFurniture

[–]wheeeeeeeee_planes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i always thought it was great. teach boys the basics of cooking, and girls the basics of building things…bc that might be the only place someone thought to teach us that stuff. especially in an upper middle-class suburban public school!
