This house is in Pittsburgh, PA and has charm out the wazoo. She needs a little love but I am eternally grateful (for now) to the seller, who had it for 20 years and made some recent modern upgrades for us. That said, he did also make some choices that I can’t fault him for, but I’m going to put in the elbow grease to revert and restore where we can. Here‘s my first win - this bathroom has white painted tile and gray walls. White vanity, toilet, tub and surround. My first thought was to strip the white on the tiles and see what’s under there. Is it salmon? Mint? Hydrated urine yellow?? Jokes on me because it’s a lovely cream main color, with a black band at the top before the plaster and then a fun little strip of black inlaid with green diamonds on white. It screams art deco to me, so my intention is to paint the walls above the tiles black, then the ceiling the same color as that light cream on the majority of tiles. We have a bit of a way to go before painting starts. Some electrical, getting the floors refinished. I’ll be sure to post a before and after of our floor lottery prize (or disappointment). I also intend to restore the phone nook that has been painted white. As a note, I found this sub when looking at tips for restoring original door knobs and plates. Thanks for being here yall and happy northern hemisphere spring! submitted by /u/ProbsDrunkOrProcrast to r/centuryhomes [link] [comments]

Stallone is 78. Arnold is 76. Both are still in better shape than most men half their age. That's not genetics. That's a decision made decades ago and never reversed. I've spent a serious amount of time looking into what separates the men who stay physically capable and vital into their seventies and beyond from the men who don't. Not the men with personal chefs and full-time trainers, though Stallone and Arnold have both had access to those. The principles underneath their longevity aren't about resources. They're about decisions made early, maintained consistently, and never fully surrendered to the cultural story that physical decline after a certain age is inevitable and irreversible. That story is wrong. The research is clear on this. And the men who have refused to accept it are walking, lifting, running proof. Most of what gets written about fitness for older men focuses on maintenance: slow down, protect your joints, don't push too hard, accept the decline gracefully. That framing is not wrong exactly but it is incomplete in a way that costs men decades of unnecessary diminishment. The men who age best are not the ones who managed their decline most gracefully. They are the ones who refused to frame what they were doing as decline at all. Here's what the research and the evidence actually show about staying in shape for life. resistance training is non-negotiable, not optional The single most important physical practice for men who want to remain strong and capable into old age is resistance training. Not walking. Not light cardio. Lifting heavy things, progressively, consistently, across decades. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, physician and author of Forever Strong, has built her entire clinical practice around what she calls muscle-centric medicine: the idea that skeletal muscle is the organ of longevity. Her research documents that men who maintain muscle mass through resistance training across their lifespan have dramatically better outcomes on virtually every health metric: metabolic function, cognitive health, bone density, insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular health, and psychological wellbeing. The muscle is not just aesthetic. It is the infrastructure of a long, functional life. Arnold understood this intuitively before the research caught up. He has spoken in interviews about never fully stopping training, adjusting intensity and volume with age but never abandoning the fundamental practice. Stallone similarly has documented his training approach across decades, emphasizing that the form and weight change but the commitment to showing up does not. I went through Lyon's work and several related books on longevity and strength through BeFreed before reading them fully, which helped me build a framework before going deep on the science. protein is the most underconsumed nutrient in aging men Most men eat enough food. Most men over fifty are dramatically under-consuming protein relative to what their bodies require to maintain and build muscle tissue. Dr. Lyon's research, along with the work of Dr. Don Layman at the University of Illinois, has established that the protein requirements for older men are significantly higher than conventional dietary guidelines suggest. The recommended daily allowance was set to prevent deficiency, not to optimize muscle maintenance. For a man who trains and wants to preserve muscle mass into his sixties and beyond, the target is roughly one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. Most men eating a standard diet are getting less than half that. This is not a supplement pitch. It is a physiological fact. The building blocks of muscle are amino acids derived from dietary protein. Without adequate supply, the body cannot maintain the tissue even with consistent training. Stallone has spoken about his nutritional discipline across his career, specifically his protein intake and his approach to eating as a performance input rather than a pleasure variable. sleep is where the physical adaptation actually happens Training is the stimulus. Sleep is where the adaptation occurs. Most men understand this intellectually and violate it consistently. Dr. Matthew Walker, neuroscientist and author of Why We Sleep, has documented that growth hormone, the primary hormonal driver of muscle repair and recovery, is released almost entirely during deep sleep. The man who trains hard and sleeps six hours is not recovering from the training. He is accumulating fatigue on top of tissue damage. Over time, that pattern does not produce fitness. It produces injury and burnout. Arnold has spoken publicly about his sleep discipline throughout his career, treating eight hours as non-negotiable during competitive periods. The men who remain physically capable into their seventies are almost universally the ones who have treated sleep with the same seriousness as training and nutrition, not as a luxury but as a requirement. consistency across decades beats intensity across months The defining characteristic of the men who are still in shape at seventy-six or seventy-eight is not that they trained the hardest in any given period. It is that they never fully stopped. James Clear in Atomic Habits makes the compounding argument that applies here with particular force: physical adaptation, like financial compounding, produces results that are invisible in the short term and dramatic in the long term. The man who trains consistently at moderate intensity for thirty years has built a physical foundation that the man who trains at high intensity for two years and stops cannot match. The consistency is the variable. The intensity is secondary. Both Stallone and Arnold have had injuries, surgeries, and periods of reduced training across their careers. What they have not had is extended periods of complete abandonment. The practice continued, modified but unbroken, through every decade. That unbroken thread is what produces a seventy-eight year old body that looks and functions like a man twenty years younger. the psychological dimension of staying in shape is as important as the physical The men who maintain physical discipline into old age are not doing so purely for vanity or external approval. They have built an identity around physical capability that makes the training feel like self-expression rather than obligation. Dr. Andrew Huberman has discussed extensively on his podcast how regular resistance training directly regulates mood, cognitive function, and stress response through neurochemical mechanisms that have nothing to do with aesthetics. The man who trains is not just building a better body. He is maintaining a nervous system that functions with greater resilience, emotional regulation, and cognitive clarity. The physical practice is a mental health practice. The men who understand this do not need motivation to train. They have a different reason entirely. Arnold has made this point in interviews: the training is not something he does because he has to. It is something he does because of how it makes him feel and who it makes him be. At seventy-six that statement carries a different weight than it would at thirty. It has been tested by decades and survived them. hormonal optimization is real and worth taking seriously Testosterone decline with age is real. Its consequences, reduced muscle mass, lower energy, diminished drive, are also real. But the degree to which testosterone declines is far more dependent on behavioral inputs than most men realize. Dr. Huberman has documented the research extensively: sleep quality, resistance training, body composition, stress management, and dietary choices all significantly influence testosterone levels in aging men. The man who prioritizes these variables is not just maintaining his hormones. He is maintaining the hormonal environment in which physical and psychological vitality can persist. Both Stallone and Arnold have been open about the role of hormone optimization in their longevity, which has generated controversy but also an honest conversation about what maintaining male vitality at advanced age actually requires. The conversation is worth having rather than avoiding. here's the real talk. Stallone and Arnold are not anomalies. They are the visible examples of a principle that applies to every man reading this: the body you have at seventy is largely the accumulation of the decisions you made across the preceding decades. Not genetics. Decisions. The decision to keep training when it would have been easier to stop. The decision to eat with intention rather than convenience. The decision to sleep properly rather than sacrifice it for productivity. The decision to treat physical capability not as a feature of youth but as a discipline of character. The men who look vital at seventy-six and seventy-eight did not stumble into it. They built it, brick by brick, decade by decade, in the hours before and after the visible day, without waiting for motivation and without accepting the cultural permission to stop. You do not have to be Stallone or Arnold. You have to be the version of yourself that makes the same fundamental decision they made and keeps making it. The starting point is today. The payoff is decades from now. The practice is every day in between. submitted by /u/hardwork_one0724 to r/GroundedMentality [link] [comments]

(EDIT: please excuse some of the weird AI blurriness around the bottom edges of some pics: I shot these with a super wide 10mm lens with terrible sensor crop/vignetting, and I used photoshops refill feature to try clean up the corners, but I just realised it's left some ugly AI-looking funkiness on the very corners) (2nd EDIT: the hole in the ceiling above the shower is for a skylight, I'll install that and finish off the plastering once my partner's bank account recovers from the bathtub purchase. My Girlfriend recently bought her first home; A mid-2000s developer build in Pascoe Vale. Unfortunately, as expected of these kinds of builds in Australia; there was significant water damage due to failed waterproofing in the upstairs shower. This was, however, a good excuse to redo the bathroom for her and get rid of the grey floor tiles, grey wall tiles, grey vanity, and all other depressing mid-2000s developer-build stylings. She also wanted a bathtub, and a frameless shower. The existing bathroom wasn't big enough to achieve this, so I moved some walls and claimed space from an adjoining linen closet for the shower recess. I also had to do some tricky stuff with raising and lowering parts of the floor (difficult because of the truss beam system) to create the appropriate drop for the screed, to accommodate the threshold-less shower. (I did like 6 coats of waterproofing, above and below screed, used the most expensive bond-breaker tape I could source etc. because I did NOT want this bathroom to leak again!). She wanted a timber vanity. We discovered nice timber vanities are insanely expensive. So I built the vanity myself out of some cheap tassie-oak panels from Bunnings. I was very happy with how well that came up. My friends Milwaukee tracksaw made that very easy to do. I also dropped the ceiling by 45mm to create a recessed led "halo" light as the main lighting, which turned out really nice. My partner wanted a clear bathtub because she's a pervert (I'm currently refusing to bath in it for fear of being ogled and objectified). Oh; she would also like it known that she bought this bathtub BEFORE it was featured on The Block. She was not happy when it appeared on the block. (I think she wanted to order her tub, then the supply company go out of business, so she was the only person in Australia to have a clear resin bathtub). It looks fabulous, but it was monstrously difficult to silicone in place due to the caustic effect of the clear resin visually magnifying and emphasising the silicone bead from every angle inside and outside (And also I am not very good at siliconing). The total cost of this renovation was about $12k I think. It took me about 3 months, after work each day and on weekends. (although the amount of tiling here almost killed me). The main costs was the bathtub ($5k), and the bath faucet at ($1.1k), and my mental sanity & hairline (priceless). submitted by /u/khdownes to r/AusRenovation [link] [comments]

So. Found out along the way that my contractor is not very good at measuring. I’m not the best either, which is why I hired a contractor but. I was trying to plan for a mirror after he measured wrong for the mirror and the ones I wanted won’t fit and I realized the lights are off center from the sink by about an inch. I was more concerned they looked higher on one side and didn’t notice they were off from the sink until this evening when I was trying to plan for the mirror. Thank you for any help or tips. Also the tape isn’t perfect that was me trying to figure out the mirrors. They tore everything down to the studs. submitted by /u/Ok_Guava6936 to r/BathroomRemodeling [link] [comments]

I moved into my partner’s place which was very ~bachelor pad~ in 2017 and have been updating, renovating, tweaking, redecorating, and practicing my interior design creativity over the years in every single room. While I never feel like it’s fully finished, I’ve poured so much love and energy into it that it finally feels like “me” and wanted to share! We rent but are very lucky to have open minded landlords. Some things we have done: • ⁠Painted every room, some with lime wash • ⁠replaced every ceiling light fixture & added medallions • ⁠added picture molding and painted closet doors, and added vintage hardware • ⁠replaced door knobs • ⁠redid kitchen backsplash tile • ⁠replaced kitchen sink and faucet • ⁠new bathroom vanity • ⁠added wainscoting and wallpaper to the hallway • ⁠added brass hardware to kitchen cabinets … and much more! submitted by /u/lindsey_what to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

I will continue to update this post as reviews come in. Rotten Tomatoes: Certified Fresh Critics Consensus: Pulling off the heroic feat of fleshing out a dynamic new world while putting its champion's big, beating heart front and center, this Superman flies high as a Man of Tomorrow grounded in the here and now. Critics Score Number of Reviews Average Rating (Unofficial) All Critics 83% 454 7.20/10 Top Critics 71% 73 6.50/10 Metacritic: 68 (58 Reviews) SYNOPSIS: Sample Reviews: Sara Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak.com - Gunn delivers a fun, goofy, irreverent, and heartfelt motion picture overflowing with empathy and kindness. 3.5/4 Adam Graham, Detroit News - Gunn has plenty on his mind but the movie doesn't congeal into a satisfying whole, leaving a mixed bag of comic book storytelling and modern commentary that isn't insightful or entertaining enough to get off the ground. C Glen Weldon, NPR - It makes you want to cheer. That's it, that's the secret ingredient that's been missing from so many superhero stories for so long. Adam Nayman, The Ringer - Basically, Gunn is trying to tear something down and build it up at the same time, and all of that lavishly subsidized indecision becomes hard to take after a while. Keith Phipps, The Reveal (Substack) - With Superman, Gunn took on the formidable task of laying the foundation for a whole world. He not only pulled it off, he made it one that feels worth visiting, or if you’re a superpowered visitor from another planet, risking everything to save. 4/5 Esther Zuckerman, Bloomberg News - ...Gunn’s big swings with this movie aren’t merely about sticking it to anti-immigrant bigots, and it would be a mistake to overstate its seriousness. But like his golden age roots of truth and justice,...this Superman also stands for something bigger... Stephen Romei, The Australian - This is the funniest superhero movie I have seen and the good news is the humour is deliberate. It’s also action-packed, visually spectacular, has decent twists and is full of knockout performances... 4/5 Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair - It’s a shrewdly balanced film, a mix of flippant merriment and real dramatic stakes. Gunn would have a much harder time selling his new approach had he not cast smartly. Fortunately, he’s found an appealing Kal-El/Clark in TV actor David Corenswet. Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal - Mr. Gunn is determined to shake things up a lot, and does. Different, however, is not always good. Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service - “Superman” is imbued with Gunn’s rascally sensibility. His ebullience and enthusiasm for the material shine through this busy, dizzying film. 3.5/4 Martin Robinson, London Evening Standard - Oh dear. What we have here is a Howard the Duck, a Hudson Hawk, a big budget stinker which feels like the end of superhero films, when it should have been the beginning of something new. 2/5 Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle - The alien is the most human of us all, and this Superman lives up to his name: He is a super man. 3.5/5 Richard Brody, The New Yorker - There’s no grandeur and no wonder to Gunn’s universe and, although there’s much discussion of the defining quality of one’s actions and choices, the film’s superheroes seem thin, constrained, and undefined. Deborah Ross, The Spectator - The plot, which also incorporates geopolitics, is all over the place, convoluted and confusing. Die-hard fans may find it less so but have we stopped inviting everybody in? Leila Latif, Little White Lies - Men would rather reboot a superhero franchise than go to therapy. David Sims, The Atlantic - This Superman is, more than anything, concerned with our society’s struggle to accept the possibility of inherent goodness. The result is an optimistic movie, one that sees a hopeful way forward for both Superman and the world’s other caped men and women. Radheyan Simonpillai, Globe and Mail - Gunn doesn’t just borrow from his own Guardians movies, but, in his dumpster diving ways, salvages elements from Superman III and Supergirl. It’s all lightly amusing (and likely expensive) mayhem that will please fans of the director and the genre. Jake Wilson, Sydney Morning Herald - ...possibly the most-hyped cinematic reboot in the history of reboots, and also a perfectly adequate piece of light entertainment. 3/5 Ty Burr, Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) - The movie is a disaster – a snarky, jokey, overdesigned, overwritten, over-digitized, over-everything misreading of all we think the cultural property called “Superman” stands for. 1/4 Rafer Guzman, Newsday - The new DC Universe gets off to a promising but unsteady start with this reboot. 2.5/4 Dominic Baez, Seattle Times - The action sequences are top-notch, the stunning visuals adding a delightful crunch (bones do break) and a sense of scale appropriate for someone like Superman. 3.5/4 Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune - It’s nicely packed and quite funny, when it isn’t giving into Gunn’s trademark air of merry depravity. 3/4 Kristen Lopez, The Film Maven (Substack) - It’s far from a perfect movie and isn’t even necessarily a great one, but it’s the funnest time I’ve had watching a Superman movie in a while. C+ Billie Melissa, Newsweek - Much of Gunn's film feels like a sequel, like we needed something before this one to complete the whole picture. Cary Darling, Houston Chronicle - It's not a great movie, by any stretch, but it is a highly entertaining one with a solid cast, impressive effects and an underlying message of love and respect. 3.5/5 Jordan Hoffman, Times of Israel - For those holding out for a hero, and who need a jolt of truth, justice, and the American way, this is a strong summer treat Nell Minow, Movie Mom - While it is (thankfully) not an origin story in the traditional sense, it is a story about a man from another place whose sense of himself is tied to his ideas about his origin, and the ideas of those around him as well. B+ Wenlei Ma, The Nightly (AU) - If James Gunn’s Superman is today’s pop culture representation of American optimism and good, it’s something you want to believe in, no matter how naïve that might be. 3.5/5 Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic - It will not overtax your brain, but it will entertain you. A lot. It’s loads of fun. It’s also topical, and an attempt to reclaim some of what we’ve lost. 4/5 Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times - A Superman who isn’t too sweet or too serious — frankly, he’s a little stupid. Caroline Siede, Girl Culture (Substack) - This Superman claims he’s driven by a desire to do good, which is a sweet and welcome message—especially compared to the darker Cavill take. But more often than not he just feels like someone the plot happens to. C+ Ann Hornaday, Washington Post - In Corenswet, Brosnahan, Hoult and their co-stars, Gunn has clearly found a capable, congenial ensemble to usher Clark, Lois and Lex into a new era. 2.5/4 Odie Henderson, Boston Globe - Superman hasn’t had this much charm and personality since Christopher Reeve made you believe a man could fly. And while David Corenswet won’t replace the memories of Reeve, he’s certainly the best Superman since the late actor hung up his cape and tights. 3/4 Alonso Duralde, The Film Verdict - Balances the right-now with the baked-in history that has made this character an icon for the better part of the last century. Nick Schager, The Daily Beast - A would-be franchise re-starter that resembles a Saturday morning cartoon come to overstuffed, helter-skelter life. Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK) - Gunn’s script, in this respect, is making the best use of the genre as a vast, ideological playground. 4/5 Jarrod Jones, AV Club - Superman delivers a simple, potent message: You don’t need X-ray vision to see people as people. B+ Jake Coyle, Associated Press - Something quite rare in the assembly line-style of superhero moviemaking today: human. 3/4 Maureen Lee Lenker, Entertainment Weekly - Gunn gives Krypto all the cute, frustrating traits of the best of man's best friends, furthering Superman's compassion and the film's playfulness. B- Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post - What’s best about Gunn’s movie is its laser-focused on relatable characters. This is no puzzle piece in a universe or a loud series of action set pieces. 3/4 Peter Howell, Toronto Star - Writer-director Gunn is brilliant at conjuring spectacle and creating alien realms... What Gunn is not so great at is storytelling. “Superman” is all over the place, not just geographically but also narratively. 2/4 Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK) - In a genre infamous for feints and teases, Gunn’s kitchen-sink approach feels refreshingly generous, and his excitement for the character shines through. 4/5 Kevin Maher, The Times (UK) - Gunn approaches the nerdosphere’s most celebrated property like a giddy amnesiac who has missed the precipitous rise and fall of multi-character Marvel superhero movies and is instead stuck somewhere in the early 2010s. 2/5 Tim Grierson, Screen International - Although overstuffed and uneven, at its best Gunn’s Superman combines the most admirable attributes of both character and director, resulting in an ambitious, occasionally stirring film that is weirder, nervier and more thoughtful than most blockbusters. G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle - “Superman” is a mess, but it’s a colorful one. It’s either a terrible superhero movie or an OK parody, take your pick. Nicholas Barber, BBC.com - It takes some gall to make a zillion-dollar Hollywood blockbuster that feels so much like an eccentric sci-fi B-movie. 3/5 Alison Willmore, New York Magazine/Vulture - Instead of another origin story, it gives us sights we haven’t yet seen — like Krypto, bounding through the air after one of the many monkeys enlisted to rage-tweet from a Luthor-created pocket dimension. What a good, good boy. Richard Roeper, RogerEbert.com - This latest version makes for enjoyable-enough popcorn entertainment, but ultimately leaves us wondering: was it even necessary? 2.5/4 David Ehrlich, IndieWire - It’s hard to make a comic book come to life at the same time as you’re trying to br4ing life into a comic book... But it’s even harder to care if a man can fly when there isn’t any gravity to the world around him. C+ David Fear, Rolling Stone - Gunn’s stamp on this mythology, and his use of it as a statement of intent for where he wants to take things in this larger intellectual-property universe, is largely a blast. Brian Truitt, USA Today - The movie features pervasive positivity, one really cool canine and a bright comic-book aesthetic. And while this fresh superhero landscape is extremely busy and a little bit familiar, it also feels lived-in and electric. 3.5/4 Donald Clarke, Irish Times - The cartoonish closing battles make it clear that, not for the first time, Gunn is striving for high trash, but what he achieves here is low garbage. Utterly charmless. Devoid of humanity. As funny as toothache. 2/5 Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times - By all of these measures, Gunn’s charming take on the Superman myth succeeds — it even won over a particular superhero-weary critic. Peter Bradshaw, Guardian - How many more superhero films in general, and Superman films in particular, do we need to see that all end with the same spectacular faux-apocalypse in the big city with CGI skyscrapers collapsing? They were fun at first … but the thrill is gone. 2/5 Matt Singer, ScreenCrush - A super-breath of fresh air — for DC Comics and for superhero movies in general. 8/10 David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter - Gunn’s screenplay can certainly be faulted for piling on too many elements... But what matters most is that the movie is fun, pacy and enjoyable, a breath of fresh air sweetened by a deep affection for the material. Owen Gleiberman, Variety - Gunn constructs an intricate game of a superhero saga that’s arresting and touching, and occasionally exhausting, in equal measure. Audiences should flock to it. Danny Leigh, Financial Times - The story too can feel scanty and overstuffed... Looking on the bright side, as he would surely like us to, it is also true that very little drags, that Corenswet, Brosnahan and Hoult do well; and that moments here and there are authentically funny. 3/5 William Bibbiani, TheWrap - James Gunn tried to make a great Superman movie, one that embraces the wonder of the character as an action hero and a moral paragon, which derives its drama from how people react to his faith in us. He succeeded. Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence - A movie that doesn’t sacrifice its titular character in service to franchise-building. Instead, it focuses on celebrating the values that Superman himself has embodied from the beginning. B+ Jake Cole, Slant Magazine - This Superman admits that the character has been a mainstay for nearly a century precisely because he stands for things outside of faddish trends. 3/4 SYNOPSIS: “Superman,” DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theatres worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humour and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.

Hi everybody, I’m hoping to get some opinions on a bathroom remodel in our just purchased first home. I’ve asked chatgpt to render the two options as I’m in a creative/practical conundrum on which direction to go. Advice or a clear winner in your opinion would be awesome! Constraints/Considerations: 1. We refinished the cast iron tub professionally, but it’s a longer than standard 66”. This is making it difficult to find a glass slider tub door. 30” standard depth though. 2. We purchased tile and it’s the 2.5”x8” Bedrosians Cloe in green. We’re gonna lay it stacked vertically. 3. Rough plumbing has been completed and the final fixtures will be Delta’s champagne bronze (spout, handheld, and shower head with a separate diverter valve above the mixing valve). 4. Total bathroom size is 60ish square feet so not huge. 5. We’re installing a niche on the wall to the right. 6. Vanity will eventually be a light natural wood finish. Pic 1: original tub surround before demo. Pic 2: chatgpt generated version if we kept the walls as is. Ignore the toilet and cgi weirdness of the fixtures. Niche should be on the short wall to the right. Pic 3: We add an arch to the tub entry. Same cgi issues as above. Note - Adding an arch would take a little more time, but allow us to fit a standard 60” door in the opening with wall bump outs on both sides. I welcome all feedback. submitted by /u/t12ix7er to r/InteriorDesign [link] [comments]

I had a tenant who adopted six pit bulls from the local animal shelter without my permission. The dogs did a ton of damage to the house. The tenant did her share of damage as well. The first few pics are the day I got the house back. (I don't have a picture of the bathroom from that day, so I added one from the day I bought the house). I did a full remodel myself. Framing, wall/removal & beam install, insulation, tile, cabinets, countertops, kitchen/bathroom flooring, plumbing, electric, new LED lighting & fixtures, appliances (purchased and repaired from FB marketplace), vanity, toilet, reglaze tub, furnishings, and more. The only things I didn't DIY were paint and refinishing the hardwoods. I've done those before, and I know my limitations. The one major improvement that doesn't show in the pictures is the smell. The whole placed reeked of dog pee. I ran an industrial dehumidifier for two weeks, and an ozone machine for another week. I also used deodorizing floor cleaner, before having the floors sanded and sealed. Very happy with how this turned out. It'll be a mid-term rental for traveling nurses, because it's 1/4 mile from a major hospital. I didn't do a great job tracking my expenses, but total cost was in the $9k-$11k range. submitted by /u/LoopholeTravel to r/DIY [link] [comments]
