I can't believe they even tried.

It’s like 60% right now. I bet if I can get a closer paint match and feather it in with an airbrush I can get it to 85%.

There are worse things. 1979 called and it wants its Jiffy Pop back.
Yeah. And like I mentioned before. Plaster ceiling underneath that. So probably lumpy and such. So you can’t just take it off nfg. And likely asbestos popcorn. Attempting to do anything with it would be a complete disaster.[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 9:48 pm Sparkle popcorn.
Well, you learn new things every day.
No. I have to buy and install all the IKEA shit after they are “done.” Then move the furniture back. Then move all our clothes over. Then move stuff out of the middle bedroom to turn it into a nursery. And put all the baby gear in there. Then move the guest mattresses back into the 3rd bedroom to free up our living room.

6 weeks to do it. She basically won’t be helping. Because her belly is the size of a watermelon and she’s exhausted all the time.

Yep. It can be done. A little just in time. But do able. But I fully regret even taking this project on in the first place. This will be $15-20k all in, I was prepared to spend half that. But that much money to stare at drywall instead of wood paneling is pretty stupid. And to spend that much when I have no income is equally retarded.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 5:04 amtime to knuckle up daddy, do what needs to be done.

You at least don't have a 40 he a week job on top of all that. if getting stuff does not slow you down that's 2 weeks of work hitting it a handful of hours a day

This is infuriating.
IKEA, despite it's size and inventory complexity is a complete disaster with ordering. Shockingly bad.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:54 am Attempting to buy IKEA wardrobes.

called and blew them up. Turns out they "didn't know where the table was and had no idea when it was coming in stock", so they were just going to keep setting and blowing delivery dates until the table eventually came in stock and they could deliver.

We ordered an outside dining set that we couldn't pick up in the store, despite it being in stock. Ok....so they blew 3 separate delivery dates when
We cancelled.
I like IKEA products, and will continue to buy from them, but only if I can buy it in the store...and can get my hands on it. They're online inventory system is pretty inaccurate from my experience, which is even more

, I have yet to find a pre-child comfort zone in my life after 8yrs with the first and 5yrs with the second boy. I'm just 
as the challenges come my way by making the most informed decisions I can quickly and moving on. It always feels good to get things off my shoulders even if they come with compromise.
