Me: *furiously trying to edit this court opinion, upset about damage to our sun room from a recent horrible scary rainstorm, antsy in cubicle, bouncing leg like a damn kangaroo* I suffer.

Mom: I'm baking you some potatoes so you guys can have them when you get home from work.

Bast: I put away the Christmas tree all by myself so you wouldn't have to.

Me: I am loved and I can get through anything!!!

#kidk says stuff #long story short rain somehow got in under the sun room roof and started dripping from a crack in the ceiling all over the floor #this happened at 10pm on tuesday and scared the shit out of me bc it's like. my worst fear? house getting fucked by a storm? #((well one of my worst fears anyway i have a lot of worst fears)) #there's now stains on the ceiling along the crack and in a splotch nearby where presumably water pooled between the roof and ceiling #the guy who installed the roof in april 2022 came yesterday and did SOMETHING up there but said he'd come back today to do something else #and afaik he has not done so and it's already 3pm #:< even after he's done hopefully sealing stuff up we gotta get the ceiling crack fixed and the area repainted with kilz and paint

Psst. Hey. If you’re looking at a house and the previous owners have painted something a dark color they are HIDING something.

[striving-artist]

Ok but I'm actually curious. What do you mean they make a clear version of their paint? What's the difference between that and sealer and why would you not just use sealer?

I am SO GLAD you asked.

Kilz is a really well known, really cheap priced absolutely amazing primer that covers things that would normally take four or five coats of paint. Have you ever had sharpie on drywall and were trying to cover it white? It takes a bazillion years to cover it at all, and over time, that damn sharpie will start showing up through it. Horrific. It also stops mold from growing through. I don't know how much time you spend dealing with painting over surfaces that would rather not have paint on them, but guess what?! It's not as good as the really specific metal primers but dude, my dudes. frick a fracking Kilz.

We used to describe it like this in school, and I still describe it like this now: It stays where you put it. On your paint brush and you let it dry at all? It aint moving. On the wall? hope its where you wanted it. Spilled it on the ground without a tarp, bad day for you buddy, even if you start scrubbing now, its not going away fully if the substrate has absolutely any porosity. Got it on YOU? like, in your hair or on your skin? And it dries? You legitimately need to take off the top layer of skin. Its not going freaking anywhere. Im not kidding. You can scrub all you want, but you're not breakin down the paint, youre exfoliating. And if its your hair? absolutely not. It'll break the strand long before you get it out. Couple of my students had really tight coily hair, and I made them cover it before rolling kilz. Cause sure, you'll notice a big glob and go work on it immediately, but the little spatter dries fast and you don't notice and then you're sad.

So. that's why Kilz is amazing. But it only comes in scaldingly bright white. yes, I've tinted it down, but oof.

Other important thing you need to know. Scene painting involves a lot of faux finishes, which require clear paint so you can make glazes. Sometimes you can sneak by by just cutting the paint with water, but that doesn't work for everything. We also use clear coats to seal finished things, and especially finished floors. Good clear paint that doesnt have a really strong yellow or blue sheen is expensive, like, easily costs 100/gal and even then, its not perfect. Tends to be weak, gets air bubbles easily, goes cloudy easily. picks off pretty bad when its dry but not cured. This is Not ideal. Plus, stage rarely wants the paint to be glossy, for a long time almost no one made that at all, and even the ones that do that are at a hardware store are still in the 50-80 range. You buy it if you need it, but oof.

Kilz.

Goddamn Kilz.

All that about how strong it is? Just as strong. All that about how it sticks to anything? Just as good. It has a very slight yellow sheen to it, so you couldn't use it for close up work that has to be perfect, but most of the time you're tinting the clear anyway, so the yellow vanishes almost completely. And, that yellow sheen is less than some of the high end ones get. It takes tint. It mixes with straight paint. It can cut with water. It dries as fast as the opaque one. It covers as well as the opaque one so if you're trying to cover sharpie/stains on a not-white wall, you don't have to do 6 layers of the colored paint to hide the white -- and even then its still visible because of all those extra layers.

And. its 26/gallon. (where I am at least)

That is less than the cheap type of house paint. That is between half and a third of the cost of the other good clear paints.

This stuff is a flat out miracle product for theater and honestly, for life in general, and while I understand why non painters don't get that from the start, holllyyyyyyyy crap it is worth getting excited about.

Top Shower Waterproof Paint

The most straightforward option for shower walls is to paint them with long-lasting, bathroom-safe paint. Waterproof paint for shower tiles, latex enamel, oil-based enamel, and specialty bathroom paint are all options for use in bathrooms. Most bathroom paints for tiles or walls are semi-gloss, and the glossier they are, the more water-resistant and easy to clean they are.

If you want painted shower walls, you can choose from a variety of colors. A wide range of colors is available, just like with non-waterproof paints. To maintain water resistance over time, painted walls require more attention and maintenance than other options. A solid backing is required for any waterproof bathroom paint.

You can find the best waterproof paint for shower walls in our reviews to prevent leaks when you least expect them. (Learn More About Enamel Paint)

Why Do You Need Waterproof Paint For Showers?

Because bathrooms are damp, moisture should be your primary concern when painting your walls. Moisture has two effects on the walls of your bathroom. Damp air accumulates on the walls as a result of steamy baths and showers. There’s also water splashed on the walls from the tub or sink. Moisture can damage the paint if it penetrates the paint layer and comes into contact with the drywall or plaster beneath.

This can result in paint peeling and mold growth. Moisture cannot penetrate the paint layer if it is permeable. Even before mildew-resistant paints were introduced, the most common way of dealing with bathroom moisture was to use high-gloss paints. The higher the gloss, the better the paint finish performs in toilets. In older bathrooms, high-gloss finishes on all surfaces are popular. While high-gloss paints do not prevent mildew, they make cleaning up those drippy, brown stains that are common in bathrooms a breeze. (Read more about Enamel vs Acrylic Paint.)

Several interior house products are abandoning the bathroom paint name in favor of creating paints to combat moisture. Interior Acrylic Latex Paint, like Bath Paint, is antimicrobial and can be used on trim, walls, and ceilings. In a wet setting, a flat finish is porous and absorbs moisture, whereas a glossy finish causes water to bead and runoff.

Waterproof bathroom paint is more expensive than other interior paints, but it is possible to find high-quality paint that will last in the bathroom. Because bathrooms are small, the amount of thick sealed paint required is usually less than that required in a standard room. If a low-sheen finish is not required in your bathroom, a good-quality satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss regular paint with antimicrobial additives is washable. It has a steam and moisture-resistant finish, so that should be enough.

Megan and David live in a small apt. in Queens, New York City with their family of 5, plus 2 cats. It wasn’t the apt. they wanted, but they decided to take it and make it their own.

"It’s definitely a space that has BIG main character energy for all of the vibrant characters and personalities in the house, including the cats," Megan says. 

They spend a lot of time at home so she wanted to create a colorful and whimsical space that makes her happy when she sees it, all the time.

She was inspired by the colors and textures of the 70s.

The rattan chairs lasted 6+ yrs. already with 3 growing rambunctious kids. 

Megan says they need all the storage they can get and use baskets on top of and under things. 

They also try to buy furniture with storage, like the orange swivel chairs that have compartments inside. 

They’ve made their home their escape from the world.

Outside it’s a busy street in Queens but inside it’s a colorful paradise where they have fun and spend time together.

Megan’s decorating tip: Don’t be afraid of color and remember that decorating a home is a marathon not a sprint.

She used a lot of bright, colorful wallpaper and it’s all removeable. 

Her proudest DIY is the round fringed mirror, an IKEA hack.

As far as painting goes, Megan says taking a weekend and a bucket of Kilz to paint back when it comes to moving out — it’s 100% worth it to not look at beige / taupe walls everyday.

To save space in the kids’ room, they decided on a pull down screen, rather than a TV. 

How lucky, though, to have a big deck like this.

it actually smells better

this is the room my roommates locked their dog in when she was a puppy and let her pee all over the carpet. My partner and I tore out all the carpet and have been trying to get the pee smell out.

Our first attempt was with Nature's Miracle. It just made everything smell like perfume for a while and the pee smell kept coming back. I got it because it was readily available locally at stores.

But then someone recommended My Pet Peed (only available online) after I was complaining about my roommates' dog peeing on my tile floors on Facebook. (Yeah, they also let the dog pee all over the tile downstairs so it's not just this carpet)

It took two applications but the smell is gone!! It hasn't gotten any of the stains out of the wood (all their ads say it will) but we're painting it over with oil based primer (I wanted Kilz but I bought a different brand because it came in a bigger bucket) and then putting new floors in anyway so I don't care about the stains. It also got rid of the perfume smell from the Nature's Miracle!

I think we are going to fix this room up as a bedroom now. My partner didn't believe we'd ever get the smell out fully but we did!

hi! im going to paint my room soon and i was wondering if you could find any cool paint colors? they dont necessarily need to look exactly like violets, just colors you think she would like/consider. im sorry if that was a lot!! thanks

Thanks for asking! No need to apologize, I love this question 💜🖤

Violet Harmon-inspired Paint Colors:

#1: Sherwin-Williams "Great Green"

#2: KILZ "Foggy Promenade"

#3: Benjamin Moore "Lavender Mist"

#4: Glidden "Dusty Mauve"

If you can't find these, or if these paints aren't available where you live, any sage green, light blue/muted blue, dusty lavender, and pink-ish purple or mauve colors should work the same.

Violet's wall color:

I’m a little conflicted about Violet's room color; in some pictures it looks like a muted light blue or periwinkle, and in other pictures it almost looks teal. Here’s some pictures of her walls:

Because these pictures were taken with the flash on, it makes me think that a dull blue is the genuine color of the room instead of teal.

I hope this was helpful :)

The Contractor Chapter 4 Moving In

AO3

His men grouse as they clean an area for, “her royal pain in the arse,” as Angus puts it.

 

“This is her house. We are just hired help. It will do you both good to remember that.” His stern glance meets theirs. They both squirm.

 

“Aye Jamie.” Rupert gathers the rubbish into a bag.

 

“As you say. She just needs to stay out of the way.” Angus gathers the broom and dust bin, carrying them out. Jamie exams the space. He is satisfied.

 

A clean wooden floor, smelling of wood shavings ( now removed). It shines under it’s new stain. The walls are likewise clean if bare. Stone covered in wood, painted over with a coat of Kilz to protect against mold. It will be painted when Claire decides on a color.

 

On a far wall, the ancient fireplace reigns. Old brick and stone, it is the centerpiece of the room. It was cleaned and tested, certified safe. All loose stones and bricks, re-secured. It is laid out in case she wishes a fire .

 

She arrives at noon after spending the morning with her son. She stops, staring wide eyed at the transformed room.

 

“The walls will be painted as you wish. Carpet or rugs laid according to your preference.” Jamie explains. He leans against the door frame, watching her take it in.

 

“This is excellent work Mr. ahh, Jamie. Maybe a few throw rugs but I love the wooden floors. As for wall color, I don’t know yet. Can I get back to you?” She turns to face him and he stands straight.

 

“Aye Sassanach.”

 

“I will just place a bed in here. Not even that, more a cot, so it is easily moved out of the way.”

 

He nods. “Whatever you wish.”

 

“I really will try to make it easy on you.”

 

Really try, he thinks. That isn’t a definite. Oh well, as he told the lads, this is her home. “We will be working upstairs and on the stairs themselves.”

 

“Thanks.”

 

“Do you need help with your cot, before I leave?”

 

“No, but I thank you.” He nods, half bows to her, before departing.

 

They soon hear her pulling it in. It seems she has it and they return to work.

Installing Wallpaper

At the point when you need to have wallpaper installed in your home, think about these things. Wallpaper has a life span over paint. It will outlive paint 8 to 1. It gives your walls that "Amazing" you can't get with paint. Properly installed it will keep going quite a while and can be removed effectively when applied over a good primer/sealer. The harrowing tales I have seen when a project worker or home click here to learn more proprietor has installed wallpaper over an unacceptable primer over my 27 years in the business have given this industry an undeserving terrible name.

Assuming you are removing old wallpaper prior to installing new, utilize a good stripping arrangement that can be sprayed through a good 1 1/2 lady. siphon up garden sprayer. First you should strip the face (the printed surface) off before the arrangement will enter the support. Try to cover all electrical plates with channel tape to forestall any water coming in touch with them. Try not to be shy with the amount you put into the sprayer and don't be shy on the amount you spray on the wall. Fill the sprayer with warm water to assist the arrangement with entering better. Cover the floor with painters drop fabrics or utilize a few towels to retain the run off. I like to spray a few light covers on the wall, holding up around 3 to 5 in the middle between. Allow the answer for accomplish the work. The sponsorship paper ought to begin to air pocket and you can begin attempting to strip, scratch the easing off. Make a point not to gouge the walls not any more that you need to. In the event that the walls were ready with a good primer/sealer, the sponsorship ought to come off clean. In the event that they were not, say a request since you will doubtlessly harm the wall surface attempting to remove the sponsorship.

On the off chance that the walls are painted, you are ready to apply a good primer/sealer that will set up the surface for the new wallpaper. I like two groups "Zinzer 1-2-3 and" Kilz Premium". there are others available that function admirably and are recommended for wallpaper, however I have involved these two for quite a long time and have had good success with both.

However, if it's not too much trouble, note: These won't deal with a High sparkle or oil surface. For those walls you should utilize an item called "Gripper" Most educated Paint stores can assist you with this. Make preparations and let dry over night.

Installing wallpaper isn't the best thing in the world everybody. It takes a unique expertise and bunches of persistence. That being said, I will attempt to share my insight throughout the course of recent years to offer you the best guidance that I would be able.

While selecting the wallpaper, there are a few things to recollect. Shinny wraps up on wallpaper will quite often feature any surface or flaws on the walls that are to be covered. On the off chance that you are managing a finished wall, attempt and pick a wallpaper that will camouflage (stow away) the surface. The other choice is have a sheet rock project worker come in a smooth out the surface. A few surfaces are less observable than others. Know that dark colored wallpapers will quite often show their appears to be somewhat more that light colors. Enormous rehashes in the example match will cause more waste and more wallpaper. A few wallpapers are pre-glued and some are not.
