Re: Outdoor kitchens - ideas, photos, discussion, consideratOutdoor Living

Jul 06, 2020 1:57 am

I've been reading ideas for recipes and decorating from different sources. I loved the ideas from here ( https://allthestuff.com/barbecue-party/ ) like putting string lights/pamper lanterns for the occasion, reusing small vases and putting in flowers surrounding the area, and vintage quilts. Not exc...

Re: rid of smellWhat's New

Mar 26, 2020 2:38 am

I realise now that OP has not mentioned where the smell is exactly, haha. Besides airing, there's applying baking soda, air purifiers which have all sorts of filters depending on what you want to eliminate (also good for those with asthma, as this suggests), coffee grounds (good if you like your cup...

It's unfortunate that the situation now is that we can't do without plastics, but it is good that some companies are finding ways to eliminate single use plastics into their companies.

Re: Bathroom accessories - is it worth paying more?Bathrooms and Laundry

Mar 26, 2020 1:51 am

Has not been the case with me. If I find a style I like that is expensive I just scour the Internet for more options - I'm likely to find a more reasonably priced item that is in line with my aesthetic and could probably be durable.

Baking soda seems to do the job for me in eliminating all sorts of smells.

Late to seeing this. That looks incredible Michelle! I myself am looking forward to revamping my deck and the surrounding areas, and I hope to achieve something as beautiful. Thinking of many earthy colours, natural stones, plants and then maybe a giant chess set. Still contemplating if I should buy...

You can add natural accent pieces that can complement the neutral colours of your walls and windows.

I only know a few things about feng shui, and I follow some as long as it looks good. Don't really seek professionals.

Re: Sealing Concrete PathwayPaving & Concreting

Oct 12, 2019 9:41 pm

It's not necessary, but if you are concerned about aesthetics, then go ahead. There are more benefits which I am basing off on this article (right under the should I seal section near the conclusion): improving durability, minimising fading that often results from UV exposure, and controlling growth...

I think this is why it is not encouraged to reuse plastic bottles that are intended for single use. Such a waste but then we also ingest some of it in our bodies through them.

That's really sound advice, going for classic. It's just like fashion where you won't worry that your pieces will be "out" after a season or two. Doesn't mean you can't limit yourself in accessories, which translate to accent pieces at home.

Re: replace roofIncreasing Home Value

Jul 15, 2019 7:58 pm

I would say its most unlikely to make any difference unless the old roof obviously needs replacing. if you are just thinking of selling I think one of those roof painting companies would be the go. Minimal effect on the life of the roof but a big cosmetic improvement Agree with that, though if you ...

Agree with that, though if you don't have a spending limit go for it

We recently had our property valued and I think it was around the $200 to $300 mark. I believe more can be reached. Landscape really give a lot of value to the property

Brad Nailer brand/model suggestion, anyone?General Discussion

May 31, 2019 4:29 pm

Got an old Dewalt one I need to retire soon, so I'm thinking if I should get a newer model from the same brand (Probably DC608K 18V). This list I saw also suggests Porter Cable PCC790LA—it seems great but I'm thinking twice because I haven't used any tool from that brand yet. Any suggestion would be...

Re: WallpaperWhat's New

While online shopping is indeed easy and convenient, you should be careful in picking out the wallpaper. I've seen AliExpress being recommended here—It does have some great deals but make sure to read all reviews and check credibility of seller first. Dimensions should be stated in the post too (som...
