Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Are you going to keep the carpeting? Because now would be the time to replace it, if you have any doubts.
The carpet is in good condition. She didn't have pets. But, it's a bit of a shag, and I know from past experience, my crutch can sometimes trip on that. Sounds crazy, I know. Plus, pushing furniture around SUCKS on that stuff. So, since I don't need washer/dryer. I may do paint and carpet! First, gotta get it. Short sale. Expedited! Because the short sale bank wants it done with. No second bite at the apple. No extensions. Double Eeep!
(Yes, I have been singing "High Anxiety" from the Mel Brooks movie. Too bad, the only words I know are "High Anxiety". But, all with good attitude... just nervous as all hell)
Lunch.
Sorry for multi posts. It sounds like closing is just before F2F now! So, there is a *chance* I could do walk thru of empty place for people if they are attending!
That space has a lot of potential, omnis, and the porch and the view are great. You do have a lot of window-covering in your future.
Doing the floors and painting before the furniture goes in will save a world of trouble, if you can swing it. You're in charge, so what kind of flooring is easiest for you to get around on? Engineered flooring like bamboo can be competitive with carpet in some cases.
The current wall color looks hard to live with. If you can't decide, you could go with a neutral color like a cream or light taupe.
Nice place, omnis!
Sounds crazy, I know.
Not to me, it doesn't. Surfaces can be very wacky. If it's a trip hazard for YOU, get it out of YOUR house. Says the woman who occasionally finds lineoleum in good condition to be a trip hazard.
Torn between flooring and carpeting. Carpeting is nice, to keep the tossies warm, and less slip hazards on the sticks. But flooring is easier to clean up. Don't need loud vacuum for flooring! I like the bamboo and cork floor options. Looks good. Easy to maintain, and is a responsible eco option.
Colors will be neutral all around, most likely. Muted. But not white! My friend Crystal said she'd help. She's a graphics person (did ND & Pix wedding invites, if you recall them). And Pix offered advice. Then, it's just a matter of making choices. Eep.
I have a friend who put bamboo flooring all through her house, and it's stood up really well to her crazy cat lady ways.
Old-school linoleum is also eco-friendly, and they're doing some amazing things with it.
You may want to think about cabinet refacing while you're mentally spending all your money. It shouldn't be very expensive in a kitchen that size.
Omnis, the place looks great!
Apparently I need to live by the ocean. My allergies were great all weekend, but now the tree sex is trying to kill me again.
I thought cork was
not
eco, as it is takes a long time to replenish. I think there's a bit ofa cork crisis in winedom, because of the problem.
Wow le n, so you need to actually make recs for how to address the issue? Yeah, that's clearly impt, but I wouldn't know how to go about that as I am sure there are legal implications.
Because the faculty member in question has (in the past) retaliated against people (e.g. called up a former student's new employer to complain)
Seriously?! What the hell motivates some people, I do not understand.
