Insulation is god for keeping cold and heat outside!

The house we bought has under cabinet lighting, and for some reason it's not hard-wired, yet plugged into a socket under the sink. Because reasons. Anyway, got a Hue smart switch and now I can control that along with the rest of the kitchen lights (which are Hue bulbs) in the same app. Totally worth the $30 or so I spent on the switch.

Did you do it yourself or hire a electrician? If you hire a electrician. That would not be cheap. Unless you really know what you are doing and having a lot of knowledge with electrical things, if something happened like a fire, that could nullify your home insurance.

Question from US that has ever been aboard. So you spray your a**e with water, then how do you dry? Seriously, tell me please.

Hose bidets are really cheap and easy to install

It makes me laugh, people claiming how hygienic it is and the user is cleaner afterwards... There's no waaaay that shooting water at poo can make poo particles spread in all directions. Physics doesn't work like that, right? Ignore the basic physics that happens when you're spray dirty dishes and little bits of food fly off in all directions. The physics of spraying a poopy bùtthole are completely different?

I have totally waited two years to ask this since I bought a bidet. The bidet is nice. But when you add water to dirt you get mud. Then twice the toilet paper is required than normal. Am I doing this wrong?

I love my ceramic bidet. Got one after childbirth stitches and now I wouldn’t be without one.

my bidet blow dries too - though I often just use a flannel - after all by then it's only water, no mess

DIY bidet by tapping into water line at toilet, add a small ball valve and attach a hose & dish sprayer, to hang next to toilet. Adjust valve to lessen water pressure. After business, spray bottom with water and wipe with less TP. This used alongside some squat toilets in SE Asia as they tend not to use TP.

Bidets are in many British homes but I’m yet to meet anyone that actually uses them, often when you re-do your bathroom you buy a bathroom suite to install that includes the sink, toilet, bath and a bidet, so people put them in and then never use it. It’s an odd little absurdity

So, does everyone have their own individual 4rse towel or what? Is there some sort of paper "pre-wipe" at least so you're not getting it all over the cheeks while you move form toilet to bidet? I've never understood these. Are you just spraying water, or washing with soap, and if the latter, does this mean you're smearing cr4p all over your hands before then touching the taps on the sink then subsequently wash your hands? If not, then are you using a cloth, then what happens to that cloth? Is there a sh1t cloth just lying around your bathroom? Are people incapable of wiping effectively? Was this basic action not taught to you as a child?

Or for laundry

I replaced my front porch ceiling light with a ceiling fan. Total coat about $150 with the installation. Now on a hot summer night we can sit out there blasting the fan and it not only cools us but keeps the bugs away

Absolutely stunning & under budget. Wow!

Just did this in our house. 3 toilets, $40 apiece. Laminated wood, soft close, quick release, never loose. Worth every penny.

We owned one house that had really hot second floor rooms because the afternoon sun heated up the siding. We installed the radiant barrier and no more heat passed through that wall.

I rent, and the previous tenant left all the curtains when she moved out. All the bedrooms have blackout curtains and it's great for sleeping in on the weekends. Especially for me since my bedroom faces east

I need to get those; pine needles are constantly clogging my gutters

Don't you throw it downstairs like a normal human?

That spray foam stuff makes a house unmortgagable in the UK. * https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/spray-foam-insulation-and-mortgages/ *

When we bought my house the bedrooms and 1 bathroom all white and the other bathroom was florescent yellow including the countertop, which has all been gone for years.

Daughter had a friend who used slabwood, the wood left from sawing boards that most folks use for wood furnaces for a fence, wasn't unsightly. Have also seen shipping pallets used for fencing as well.

We hired a pro to paint our cabinets. They used a special two part epoxy paint that dries extremely hard and resistant to scratches.
