[Home Repair] Help! Foster dog destroyed laundry room

Well done, I got a little bit mad.

 

There has to be someone here who can repair that for you. Doesn't seem that difficult, so someone with some general experience in home repair/building should be able to do it. Looks like a fairly cheap repair. Blinds may be the most expensive thing, if they're real wood.

You may just be able to find those blinds at Home Depot. Take them off and take them there. Measure the length/width of the ones not destroyed to get accurate measurements.

That dog just needs to be walked until it's out of energy.

Don't visit the GARM much?

 

Wasn't this the premise of the movie Beethoven 5 ?

 

Your parents are going to kick your ass.


And no, I don't do handy work. I don't even mow my own yard anymore people.



For the blinds, tell your mom you felt like redecorating the house, so you got yourself new blinds.

For the doors, I have no clue.



Let me know when you get a female yorkie in also. I would also like to adopt a Lhasa Apso.

 

I must say I'm a bit surprised at the responses, or lack thereof. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I mean really... a gal on a mostly male board, comes on here states she needs handyman help and adds that she has no boyfriend, and these are the responses?

qft. If none of the lame single guys in this thread are gonna offer to come help you, that is. I'm not saying it'd be a good or bad idea to accept, just that I can't believe no one has offered.

 

Measure the width and height of the window, go to lowes and buy the new blinds. They will cut them there for you. Hire a handyman to replace that door trim and install the new blinds for you. You can get the trim at any hardware store that sells lumber. All of this should cost you less than $400 depending on how much the handy man charges for labor.

And that is a really nice looking dog. Keeping a dog like that in a studio apartment or in a crate for a long period of time is just awful. I know you were trying to do something nice for the dog but you really aren't doing the dog any favors by fostering it inside of a crate in a laundry room. If you have a yard and time to give then foster some dogs, if not then just go volunteer at the humane society or whatever when you have free time.

 

Do you really thing these video game playing, computer dorks actually know how to do any home repairs? Seriously? A lot of these kids that post here aren't even old enough to drive to begin with. Video games, fast food, and sports is all they know.

 

What is wrong with video games, fast food, and sports.

 

Right?

That being said, its easily the easiest thing to do... kam could do it, but hes still playing hard to get...??

In all honesty you could do it yourself rocketgirl... bring those photos to a lowes or home depot and they will help you out... all you would have to do is take down old blinds and put up new ones.... with the door trim youd have to use a hammer or prybar to rip off the old trim, and use thin wood nails to nail it to the wall... im sure you could find them painted already, but if not than youd have to match the paint... the most difficult thing qouod be swingin a hammer...

Rockgirl you got.this.dont shy away...

 

The former. Too lazy to find the thread.

Edit: whoops, thought I was replying to the last post of the thread.

Are you guys not dating anymore? That's disappointing.

I thought you two were destined for each other and walk off into the sunset (chaperoned by SCK of course) together.

Courtesy of that one thread...

 

Same here, what happened?!

 

People already gave you advice on the fixes... so...

YEAH. What happened to y'all?

Kam realized you were "TOO OLD"?

 

@00rocketgirl,
You need some rocket fuel, know wat I'm sayin...

 

Didn't read the responses, but if you're going to foster dogs, you need to get a heavy-duty crate to keep them in. Craigslist is your best bet in terms of $.

 

Worse **** in life is going to happen to you or your parents than this. I'd just tell your parents what happened and offer to pay for it.

The blinds will be the biggest expense.

Depending on whether or not you can match the casing on the door frame, it could require 1-3 pieces of casing to fix it. Then you will need some white paint to paint the casing. Your Dad should know how to cut the 45 degree angles at the top of the door.

I'm pretty forgiving if my son fesses up and takes ownership. Your Mom and Dad will be too.

 

you're doing a great thing. dogs are the best and any little thing you can do to keep a stray from being euthanized is totally worth it. she's a gorgeous dog. i wish i had more time to train the little spazzes, i'd probably foster just to have playmates for my dog.
