1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

beaut, jake wise as ever. thank you! Guess ill top her off with anything then in that regard. My brother had some yesterday on hand but i waited out of fear it was finniky

 

That's what my bedroom is, grey/white. Pick any color combo and I'm sure someone else will hate it.

 

Gray walls: Check
Ash LVP: Check

 

Feels dark but plenty of natural light.

 

I'll take that over the derk maroon walls at my old place. You could park any random Tacoma world members truck in there with their 25ft of led light bars and 4 ditch lights all on and the room would still look like a dark cave.

Man I hate red walls!!

 

When I sold my house I had a lovely shade of green in the kitchen. Realtor said "oh wow, thats awful splashy, you should probably paint that white, and you'd need to update your kitchen to get more money out of it..."

New owners loved the green, and liked the kitchen the way it was. Hmph.

 

Behold the LVP flooring and light gray walls

 

We bucked the trend and slapped down some non ash LVP and tan walls, in the kitchen at least when we sold...

Shitty wavy, uneven early 2000s tile lay under that!!

 

lol these people do the same shit in Rocky Mtn National park

had a group of tourists lose their shit at us last time I was there. We drove around them after they parked in the middle of the road and got out to take photos with a herd of elk. dumb

Its lighter than the pic shows. I like it for the most part in certain rooms. They did it in every room which I wanna change eventually.

 

Yeah, these folks stopped in the middle of the road blocking traffic on Southside drive (the two lane part), put their hazards on and stuck their arms out the window and waved me (and everyone behind them) to stop. I was like must be something in the road, no biggy, that's fairly common. Then she sticks her camera out and points it up the hill. A dozen or so deer were a hundred or so yards off the road. Not even something cool like a bear.


I kinda lost it, and passed them honking, hoping to ruin their picture by getting my car and me with my "WTF lady?!" face in their shot, and scaring the deer off.

 

My wife loves watching those home fix & flip/restoration shows on HGTV, but if you google them most of those shows have had a lawsuit or several over the years for incomplete work or leaving the owners with shoddy repairs. Its crazy how many of those shows are out there these days, people love watching that stuff for some reason.

 

Don't you talk bad about Chip and Joanna Gaines

 

My wife makes fun of me because I ONLY watch those shows on vacation, in a hotel while she's getting ready. Don't know what it is, a Marriott compels me to watch some house flipping or "I'm 25 and sell dog socks on Etsy and my budget is $950k for a lake cabin" type shows.

 

watch as we TOTALLY TRANSFORM THIS HOME IN A WEEKEND for only $2000 in materials!!!!

(not pictured: 8 separate contractors, a demolition crew, a 30ft enclosed trailer with $35k in tools)

 

that's her favorite one

I do get pulled into them occasionally, there's this one about restoring original American houses from the 17th century over in New England which is pretty cool. But you can tell so much of the drama is contrived and put in there for the sake of the show, mostly because builders and contractors make for terrible actors lol.
