SoundMonkey posted:are you canning meat-containing pasta sauces or sterilizing substrate for gourmet mushrooms? Nah, just lower acid stuff like corn and applesauce that grandma totally used to open bath can but the USDA seems to really not want you to do it that way anymore so I started pressure canning it. Also, had no idea about the AL pressure cookers (mine are.....one is avocado and one is harvest gold so you can figure out how old they are.....I wouldn't mind replacing them because of a stove swap)

That chest of drawers looks supremely cheap. Should’ve just cut off the overhang.

Unless they're a decent woodworker, sawing the side of the dresser off is going to be at least as fugly as that, and at least the drywall can probably be patched later. The sane person response is "oh, that won't fit there", though.

It's not that hard to cut a straight line with a circular saw. Even if you didn't round off the cut and re-stain/re-finish the wood, it'd still look better than ripping the drywall out does.

Yeah, but which is more likely with the kind of people that think cutting a slot in wall is an acceptable solution. 1 - They have a 7.25" 60 tooth fine finishing blade, use a clamped rail as a guide, and cut so there's an 1/8" tolerance to hide the amputated side of the top. - or - 2 - They use the 24 tooth blade that came with the saw and just eyeball that sucker.

Before you even get to that decision, I think it's a pretty big assumption that that top is actual wood you can restain and not cheap particle board covered in veneer that will look like dogshit no matter how nicely you cut it.

Even if you didn't round off the cut and re-stain/re-finish the wood, it'd still look better than ripping the drywall out does. Having a circular saw is a big if, though. That's actually what bugs me about this design show my roommates watch. The hosts come in and redo one room on the cheap, always making their own version of a designer item, and at the end they talk about how much it cost to do it all. But that cost never factors in having a carpenter's truck full of tools to make poo poo with.

Maybe it's a rental, so they don't want to cut up the dresser. They can just cover that hole with a little toothpaste and it'll be fine!

Even more special are the milled, pointed post ends with the railing nailed on top. My only hope is they are stable enough to hold a row of beer.

Would the smell of a stinky poo poo harmlessly rise up to the 20 foot ceilings? Would the steam and warmth of a hot shower do the same?

quote:Now as much as we love the look of this room, this is where we have the biggest regrets... In fact, we messed up big time on the shower...so much so that we will be slightly redoing it in the next month or two. Our problem is that in a normal house, you can do an open glass shower like we did because your ceiling is usually a foot or two above the glass, keeping the heat in. However what I didn't account for was the fact that we have 20 ft. ceilings in there and so all the warm air is immediately sucked up, leaving you pretty cold. So we will be adding a second shower head... and adding hand held sprayers and possibly a few body sprayers. We will only have to tear out a channel of tile to add the plumbing and then repair that, so it won't be TOO costly or time-consuming, but still a bummer for sure! So I guess their fix is to heat the whole room with the shower.

Assuming that's two hand held sprayers and at least three body sprayers, that's seven water sources pummeling your wealthy, nude body from all angles.
