Omg those colors are terrible. I'm so sorry!

You're renting right? Have you ever painted anything before? First things first, ask the landlord if he'll supply the paint if you supply the labor. It can't hurt! But you'd need to do a decent job sooo...

I'd go with a cool white in the kitchen. They make special super smooth durable paint for cupboards, but it's pricy! It finishes more like an enamel. Try to find out what kind of paint was used previously. You may need a primer and if you aren't sure, definitely get primer. Just do everything white, and research how to paint cupboards. 90% of a good paint job is prep work! Things like sanding, removing hardware, priming, taking cupboards doors down, etc. I wouldn't waste time on the insides unless you're really anal about stuff. I always bought the rubbery liners for mine.

If the landlord allows, I'd add hardware to the cupboards as well. These are a decent clean look:

Cosmas 305-030SN Satin Nickel Cabinet Hardware Euro Style Bar Handle Pull - 3" Hole Centers, 5-3/8" Overall Length - 25 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D0KWBJ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_j3RDzbD9DSWFH

But measure to see what makes sense. Drill and sand the holes before painting and look to see if there were pre-existing pulls. If so, try to re-use those old holes (sometimes they are patched and painted over). Path of least resistance and so forth...

The kitchen looks small with no natural light so I think the under cabinet LED strips are a great idea. Something like this might work - I would go with warm lighting just so the white isn't so stark.

Albrillo LED Under Cabinet Lighting Dimmable Warm White, 12W 900 Lumens, 3 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ARQY31S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_X7RDzb9EGZ4KM

For the living area just get rid of that ugly neon vomit color as fast as possible. Dear god. Do not leave any of that.

I would aim for something in a very light warm gray (I know it's not the most revolutionary but it works) for the walls or if you want to go modern, a nice crisp white. You can always add warmth and color with textiles (furniture, rugs, curtains) so don't be afraid of doing a fresh box in white if you want the light. Use a matte or eggshell finish in the living room. Anything with gloss will highlight EVERY imperfection in the walls.

If your living room windows are subject to passerby's views, I'd consider getting a double rod for curtains. A softly textured sheer curtain will allow lots of light in the daytime while still obscuring you from unwanted attention. Something like this:
Best Dreamcity Faux Linen Sheer White Curtains / Draperies for Bedroom (Pack of 2 Panels, W52" by L84", White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F03O5SO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rbSDzb6SMDNRP

You can then choose a thicker curtain for the outer rod for evening privacy. (Sheers tend to be much more sheer at night when lights are on inside.)

Since it's a basement apartment, if the ceilings are low, you can trick the eye into seeing the ceilings as higher if you hang the rod closer to the ceiling but it looks like you have standard height ceilings so I think a standard 84" long curtain length would work out fine.

As far as furniture goes, it's so subjective, but the setup in the pic looks good! I would stay with neutrals, personally, and add color through throw blankets or toss pillows and artwork and accent pieces (be they plants or statuary or what have you). I'm still a big fan of grey. It's a one bed so I'd consider a sleeper sofa. They've come a long way and you don't have to get something that looks like it lived at your grandmas. Something along these lines would work well, I think. (The added storage is a nice bonus too.)

I'd add some large area rugs. Definitely some artwork. Society6.com is a good place to find interesting art on a budget.

Add some simple mirrors on the walls as well - ideally one large one on the wall opposite the windows to reflect light back through the apartment. It would make a world of difference for you. I'm kinda pushing you in the clean and modern direction so I'd recommend something like this:

Raphael Rozen - Elegant - Modern - Classic - Vintage - Rustic - Hanging Framed Wall Mounted Mirror, Distressed Wood Finish, Gray - White Color https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G2FVBOA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kmSDzbASV1EQ2

It could add some warmth and texture to what might otherwise be a bland wall. Adding some floating shelves below or to the sides with some favorite books or mementos might be nice as well.

Definitely add some floor lamps and perhaps a side table lamp or two as well. Lighting is so much more important than people give it credit for. Always buy soft white. I actually really like Edison bulbs inside of lamps because they are a soft and soothing lighting, even when covered by lamp shades. They make a nice point of interest too. I always buy lamps with 3-way switches also. You'll never realize how awesome it is until you have it and then you'll use it constantly. (Won't work with the Edison bulbs though - you'll have to buy the dimmable lightbulbs). If you want the Edison bulb look to be a part of the decor, these lamps are pretty fun and work well for date night lighting, chilling on the couch eating snacks and watching Netflix lighting etc.

If you're buying area rugs - get them larger. You want to define a space with it - not have a bath mat between your couch and your coffee table.

Get a coffee table with storage. Having a place for all your stuff is key to keeping things looking nice and uncluttered. I love having lots of blankets around because I tend to hunker down in winter but if you're really minimalist you could get away with not having storage.

If you don't have a coat closet and you don't have a large entry for a standard coat hook wall hanging try one of these for the things you use every day:

JustNile Versatile Metal 180 Degree Triple Pronged Swivel Swing Arm Wall Mounted Hook, Set of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5C5CSW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OvSDzbBWNGVNK

And that's where I'm gonna stop because I do have to work tomorrow.

One caveat - I did push for a more modern look BUT all of this advice would work if you like a more traditional style too. Key points being lots of neutrals and don't get too crazy with accent colors. Match your finishes on metals as much as possible and just try to keep things within the same finish family.

One of the huge problems this place has right now is a warm matte grayish violet as the kitchen accent and a an oddly cool yellow green semi gloss on the walls. Just choose warm or cool (I like warm, personally, especially for places with light walls) and stick to it. If you try to keep things cohesive you'll generally end up happy with the result!

Good luck! Post your afters for us!

u/eraserewrite Ā· 2 pointsr/InteriorDesign

First, I gotta say. I love your house. The stairway is amazing. The rooms are awesome. Second, I have to warn you that I'm horrible with spacing/bullet points.

This is all my own opinion btw. Iā€™m not an interior designer/decorator. Read at your own risk.

Iā€™m not sure whether you like traditional or modern style, but I think with this kind of home, you should go with ā€œtraditional dĆ©corā€. Pintrest that stuff. Itā€™s great. Tldr is that itā€™s new and old dĆ©cor to look awesome. OR, even go with the style of this Redditor: http://imgur.com/a/AzALP


  1. Slap a new coat of white on the ceilings. I know you like it, but you can see that they tried to fix the border with semi-gloss paint in the picture, and it kind of takes away from the actual design. I think the ceiling designs look great in the rooms, but the living room (especially around the fireplace) is another story.


  2. Will probably be shanked for taking away the traditional appeal, but paint all the baseboards, crown molding, and window paneling white. It would look cleaner to be honest. (Hereā€™s an example for the teal room: http://i.imgur.com/dcBAUmG.png More on the teal room, I would probably do what I could to knock off those little things http://i.imgur.com/bsMwlEa.png (not sure what theyā€™re called). If itā€™s in the budget, Iā€™d remove the fireplace. (Does it actually work? It doesnā€™t really bring any visual appeal?) Paint the doors white and get new outlets.)

  3. Replace/clean and spray paint the vents (by the stairs in the living room) to white. The beige color makes it look really outdated/dirty.


  4. Repaint the walls for sure. I would go with a neutral taupe/grey, something gentle. But since you like glitz, Iā€™d probably do that thing that people do where thereā€™s an accent wall.

  5. It would probably be a little difficult (possibly tearing out the whole floor) to move a kitchen since the plumbing is already there for that and the bathroom as well. It could be super expensive as well.
    However, cheaply/rental, what I would do for the kitchen is:
    Paint the cabinets a new color. Add new hardware. Repaint that wallpaper thing. You could put contact paper over the countertops as a temporary fix. (Youtube it. Shit is awesome.)

  6. Finally, tear down those curtains in the back.

    Please.

    Also, your layout reminded me of this post: http://imgur.com/a/5URyz
    Maybe you could get some ideas off of it?

Blue white and gray would look nice. If you do plain cabinet door faces they would be more reasonable depending on soft close and all. https://www.myscandinavianhome.com/2018/07/an-eclectic-19th-century the blue In this is gorgeous http://www.montenegrin.org/the-bathroom-design-decoration-33/ thereā€™s basics you decide on. Like you like clean so I donā€™t think open shelves would work. Clean replacement doors and painting it blue or another color would work. Grays I would probably stay neutral with. Thereā€™s some now with purple undertones. They might look good but some colors can look funky if your lighting is cool and warm. There are some gorgeous grays like Sherman Williams Let it rain, Morning Fog, Lazy fog and Argos. Cabinets in Adriatic Sea, Blue Nile, Georgian Bay, Regatta for more muted Inky Blue, Denim, Bracing Blue. If you do cabinet knobs there are tons of options. I would stay clean or eclectic.

Otherwise stick with plain. If you plan to add any cabinets make sure the hardware you get can still be bought. Iā€™ve had friends get gorgeous clearance stuff but changed their kitchen and couldnā€™t find anymore of them. They ended up replacing all the hardware. If you might add cabinets or island and get a good clearance deal buy extra.

u/4br4c4d4br4 Ā· 6 pointsr/HomeImprovement

The biggest things in our house were the things that didn't just make it look nicer, but also were a functional upgrade.

We got a new fridge/microwave/dishwasher and range (uhh, because they all had to match - we only NEEDED the fridge and microwave). The benefit is that they look great (GE Slate), and the fridge is Energy Star (besides AC, it's the biggest power draw in the house), the dishwasher is stainless inside and uses only... I think it's 4 gallons to do a full cycle and the acid test was getting the little tea infuser tongs spotless!

Replace boring round door knobs with brushed nickel door HANDLES. You don't really notice it directly, but it just freshens up the inside.

Replace yellowing and ugly outlet and switch plates. Or replace them all with Decora and probably use white instead of almond.

We also replaced a few of the old boob lights in closets and hallways with LED fixtures that put out a great and pleasant light.

No more dark and depressing closets, pantries and laundry rooms!

In the kitchen, adding knobs/handles to the doors is a huge improvement. Slow-close hinges is also a must.

I like the 'flush' (no 'open' ends) handles on anything below the counter so they don't catch and rip my pants. All my shorts suffer from catching pockets or belt loops on the bar style handles. Regardless of how convenient they are to hang towels from.



EDIT: We also really like using the IKEA picture ledges to put pictures up. We staggered a few of them for a more interesting look, but the main thing is that it avoids multiple holes in the wall to hang pictures from.

We can easily rearrange pictures by moving them by size or topic etc. on the ledges to achieve a different look.

Another thing I'm a pretty big fan of is keeping the house mostly painted very light/white colors and then decorate with colorful drapes, blinds and furniture. It's a lot easier to change the theme by just a new couch cover, drapes and sheets on the bed than to repaint a room because you're tired of the color.

Thanks! I'm hoping it can help people looking to make stands for relatively cheap. As others have posted, a more opaque black may blend better, but this still works well for my needs. Plus I like to see what's below the stand anyways.

Also, I'll possibly post a quick tutorial on the houses I made up the other night for my city combat. https://imgur.com/a/5qYM6 They're pretty much made out of foam core and hot glue. :P I think it must come out to maybe $0.75 a house. The flat roofs are nice, as you can describe them as a steepled roof, but it gives you a place to set a mini. The multi-level buildings can be split and pulled apart.

I got the foam core at amazon, and I use 3-2-1 blocks for aligning the walls when gluing. The only thing I'm not sure about is how long they will hold up. My main concern is moisture and warping, as I do not have a bottom piece on the buildings (only a roof).

Should be an interesting session tomorrow. Largest battle yet! The large group on the main road are civilians, the invaders are coming down the streets. The party has defend the civilians as they retreat to the castle (not pictured) on the right of the map. I still have to set a few more tokens on the map (including the PC's and some of their allies), but it should be quite a bit of fun assuming I can keep combat flowing well (Oh, and that minitaur is actually a giant ape... polymorph is a powerful spell)!

Dropping this here just in case..

Obviously, actual soft close hinges are ideal, but we hope to redo our kitchen in the next few years, so I didn't want to go thru the hassle or cost of replacing all the current hinges. So I installed these instead: https://smile.amazon.com/Rok-Hardware-Cabinet-Compact-Adapter/dp/B00J9XB6BQ

They work much better than I expected.

Again, yes, hinges are far better. But these are super easy on time and money. Cheers.

Tech: Smart plugs / switches. I'm partial to Wemo and second to TP-Link. Could get a few plugs for under $100. Pair them up with logitech pops someday (the starter kit is $100 right there, I'm just mentioning it because the two work well together.

Universal fan controllers, I can't speak to any brand/style I could recommend. You would have to research that one, but something like this https://www.lowes.com/pl/Ceiling-fan-remote-controls-Ceiling-fan-parts-accessories-Ceiling-fans-accessories-Lighting-ceiling-fans/4294395598 I personally like the wall mount ones with a remote. So you can use the wall switch as normal and the remote as a bonus.

​

Non Tech:

Easy off toilet seats. Ever take a seat off before? Years of poo under the seam. Something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEMIS-Lift-Off-Elongated-Closed-Front-Toilet-Seat-in-White-1500EC-000/100120881

Pair it up with a plunger that doesn't suck. IE buy an expensive one that won't get stuck and splash poo water all over your walls because you have the $10 cheap one from wally world.

​

Garbage disposal. You can get a little badger for $100. But that's gonna end up being a DIY project to keep your $100 budget.

Soft-close cabinet door dampers. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Rok-Hardware-Cabinet-Compact-Adapter/dp/B00J9XB6BQ Again, you're on your own to research a brand/style. But they sell them at big box stores too.

​

Edit:

Bathroom fan timer switch or humidity based. Either get one with button for 10 20 30 whatever min run time, so you can let your bathroom vent humidity out after a shower. Or one that auto turns on at X% humidity. All sold in big box stores.

u/crazyivan111 Ā· 1 pointr/DIY

I have/had already intended to buy a table saw, router table, orbital and belt sanders, and a power drill. I assume the drill press is just for the hinge cups? I was planning on getting one of these jigs to ensure consistent and even cup placement. Would this be enough to preclude a drill press for the time being?


The shopvac/respirator setup is something I was considering, but will definitely do now thanks to your advice and others.


The edge finish issue is something I keep hearing about but it seems there are a million solutions (spackle, drywall paste, wood glue being the most common). I guess I'll just have to make a few test pieces and see what works best with the paint and primer I end up using.

Thanks for the advice and insight!

I did this - not with reflectix but with blackout curtains. Just cut the curtain to fit each of my windows and I use some industrial strength magnets on the frame to hold them up. I didn't sew them into the fabric, though you easily could by just measuring extra and folding it down over the magnet and sewing around it to make a little pocket. I just have a magnet in each of the corners, and take the top 2 off and let the curtain hang down. They don't get in the way, and I don't have to worry about messing around with it too much - they hang right back up super easy! The magnets I'm using - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IYFO7KM

My wife and I used to do a lot of overlanding in my 2001 forester in much the same way that you describe. We had a similar setup to your third inspiration picture, although we had quite a bit less space under the bed than that.

I built a wooden platform out of plywood that was basically exactly the same height as the rear wheel wells (the forester has a flat spot on top of the rear wheel wells). I cobbled together a wooden frame that just rested in the back of car, it wasn't actually secured to anything because I built it into the car so there was nowhere for it to go. That left me about 10 inches below the platform for storage. I had just about 3 feet of space between the rear door and the back seats to work with so I installed 2 sets of heavy duty drawer slides and built some shelves out of cheap plywood. I added a few dividers and a mount for a camping stove on one side, and left the other one completely free of dividers.

This basically gave me 7,000 cubic inches of storage on each side, so one was usually food, cooking supplies, and utensils and whatnot and the other side was usually camping gear like clothes, furniture, binoculars, climbing gear, axe, lantern/flashlights, and toilet paper.

I can't really take any pictures because I tore it apart after our second kid and needed to haul kids in both of our cars.

u/MrSpiffenhimer Ā· 3 pointsr/HomeImprovement

That is an interesting idea for hiding a TV, I've never seen anything like it. That being said, it looks like the doors are running on a normal drawer slide. So I would guess that one of two things are happening right now.

First is that drawer slides are not meant for this application. Any lateral force pulling the door away from the wall or uneven load, could throw the slides off balance, cause twisting and cause extra friction. I would see if there is a track at the top or bottom or a retaining rail keeping the door from straying from the intended path, and putting extra pressure on the slides. If there isn't one, I would consider adding a retaining rail of some sort to prevent that from happening.

My second idea is that the installer might have used standard drawer slides that aren't meant to hold that much weight. So the slides have worn out over time and they don't work like they should. They make heavy duty ones that can hold more, and a switch to those might work out. Depending on the weight of each door, you could look at something like these:
220lb: http://www.ovisonline.com/30-Drawer-Slides-220-lb-Heavy-Duty-Full-Extension-P1693.aspx
500lb: https://www.amazon.com/Drawer-Slide-Extension-Heavy-Capacity/dp/B0009OBPH4
The weight is per pair of slides, you only showed 1 slide for the door in the picture, but I'm assuming there's a second one at the top. If not adding one to the top might also help. Remove and weigh the doors to determine the slides you need, bigger is going to be better here since this is a non-standard application. Also make sure to measure for the length you'll need on the new slides.

I got these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IRLHIEK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're ok. Seem a little flimsy and the doors have a tendency to bounce a little before closing, but it seemed the best solution for the price. I'm sure I could spend more and get soft close hinges or something, but can't justify the cost.

Hey there,

I'm looking for sturdy undermount adjustable height locking railmount slides for a project and wasn't sure about the best place to ask for a recommendation.

If you wouldn't mind, could you either help with a recommendation if you know of good slides, or if not that point me in the direction of the best place to ask. I'm kind of at a loss where to even look beyond googling so I decided to try asking here.

I'm currently using these Lee Valley slides on a self built computer to hold my mouse and keyboard:
http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=48619&cat=3,43614,43616&ap=1

However, these slides don't lock firmly enough for my tastes so I'm looking for a replacement. I found these on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Ball-bearing-Keyboard-Slide/dp/B000KQ5E82

I'm wondering if anybody here has any personal experience though to comment. I need ones that lock very sturdy because movement while I'm trying to do stuff on my computer is super annoying and I currently have to put up with a bit of wobble.

Install these sliding racks and a piece of nice oak or a hardwood of your choice under the desk. To the right of your shifter is one mounting point and the leg on the left is the other. Then you'll have an easy to use pull out drawer to put both your keyboard and mouse on.

IMO the best solution is to build a quickie driving rig with a junkyard seat. You can have all the wood cut at Lowe's, home depot, or menard's if you have your measurements sheet. The seat should cost around 10 bucks on half off day or 20 at the worst (most pull your own yards have this and black friday is coming up when they have 75% off for one day.) For about the same price as a name brand keyboard rack you can have a nice custom rig.

I donā€™t have any great suggestions for fixing the doors, but as far as installing slow close hardware I like these:

Rok Hardware 25 Pack Soft Close Damper for Cabinet Doors / Compact / Soft Close Adapter / Hardware / Nickel / Hinge https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J9XB6BQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_221-Bb03M09E0

I installed them probably 3 years ago and they still work great, for a fraction of the cost of replacing the hinges with soft close hinges.

Wow your desk sounds exactly like the one I just built in an unusable corner of my office, except that it's mounted to my wall, with no legs on it. High gloss red and everything! I am waiting on parts from Amazon to get here for the keyboard and the pullout desk feature (which should double my work area).

Here is a link to some pics

I was in a rush (school is starting!!!!) so I just used a few coats, and I could have done a better job on the staining, but I just don't care, since I've been pretty high off the fumes from this desk for a few days now. The hardware is mismatched because I had it around (Deck screws with disk washers on 22" shelf brackets? What he's crazy?!)

I had some angle iron which I cut and used as a side stabilizer, which I must say lets me sit on my desktop, even though it has no legs, and is mounted to the wall. I used oak plywood (by far the most expensive thing for this desk at $52 per 4x8' sheet), and made some cleats and a backsplash to add rigidity. I also threw on an upper deck for my books and microscope. I built it in two days, with the majority of the time being spent on staining. It measures 4x2' on the bottom and 16"x4' on top. Like I said, it can hold my weight (around 180 lbs), and I had about 1 square foot of plywood waste, and no metal waste or hardware waste. The shelf brackets are the 22" ones you can find anywhere online or in a store.

If you copy my design, DEFINITELY use those cleats! The shelf brackets will indent your sheet rock and cause it to be out of level otherwise. I have about 100 lbs of books and equipment on the top shelf (to be out of reach of my 2 year old). And I don't know if I need to mention that they should be in studs (when you drill in studs make sure you have a basic idea of where your electrical is).

The things which still need doing are the side desk, which measures 22" x16", which is roughly what I have to work with when everything is on my desk. It will be off to the left, and pull out from underneath with this bracket. The keyboard will obviously pull out from in front of the monitor. It will be extra wide to accommodate a notepad, mouse, and the ergonomic keyboard I have. It will use these brackets. I ran out of fastener hardware, so I used 3 1/2" deck screw, with disk washers. To mount underneath, I use 3/4" slotted screws (slotted screws make you do things with a screwdriver, which is good in this case since you can easily strip out the hole on this plywood with a power drill). You're definitely going to want to pre-drill those holes!

Grand total for this project was almost exactly $100 in new material. I had about another $50 in leftover parts and stains. I am very happy with this desk. I might add another pull out mini desk on the right, which pulls out in front of the window. It will accommodate a book stand. The only thing I would change is to hide those massive angle irons. I used 1/4" lag bolts to anchor those too. Bomb proof!!!

Well I decided just to use my ATX server (might get a new MOBO and CPU) and just use that for the storage array. The R310 is strictly for storage, with minimal archiving and backup scripts. So with the ~300 I save for not getting the r310 I can get the dell rails, more hard drives, and SATA expansion cards.

By the way, how am I supposed to mount a whitebox ATX server? Its a standard 2u that is decently heavy and decently deep, but I have no idea how you would mount something like that. I checked amazon, and would these things work?

Yellow is a terrible idea. It will look dingy next to the grey-ish cabinets. I would either freshen the White on the walls or do a deeper medium grey.

Remove the curtain above the sink. Find a more modern pattern or go with white blinds with wide slats. If you want a pop of color, a solid bright yellow, blue or green would look nice in curtains.

Get faux marble appliquƩ for the counter tops.

Worrying about thousandths of an inch on wood pieces is crazy, but ideally you will set your machines up to be as precise as possible.

If you knew that you could set your table saw to a perfect 90 every time, but it would take you an extra minute every month or two, would it be worth the trouble?

The same tool can also be used on a bandsaw, drill press, miter saw, etc.

The ability to quickly check your squares is a pretty big deal though. A set of machinist 1-2-3 blocks should be in every shop. Really, it's all the precision a woodworker
needs*.

I have bought squares that weren't square, or have gotten dropped or otherwise knocked out of square.

Here is a box that I made.

I used magnets to keep it shut, but I've done similar boxes with hinges on one side and a magnet on the other. For hinges, I'd use mini barrel hinges. They will be less intrusive. I didn't feel like ordering magnets online, so I went to Lowe's and bought some fridge magnets that look like push pins and cracked the plastic to pull out the magnet. They are a nice size. The pillow is made by taking two foam hair rollers and sewing some nice fabric around them. The ring will sit in the crack between the two. I wouldn't use fabric that is too crazy though. You want the ring to be the focal point.

Are you just looking to cover the screw/screw holes? Or the entire strip?


If you are just looking at covering the holes, these may help:


https://www.amazon.com/Fastcap-Adhesive-Cover-Caps-White/dp/B0006NICL0



They are PVC adhesive screw caps. They are PVC so they are fine in wet areas, and just stick right on top of screw holes. I used them to cover screws in my vinyl windows, they work very well. They have their own adhesive, if you really want to get crazy with it, maybe use some caulk or silicone or something to apply them.



If you're looking to cover the whole strip, that's a different story. Could buy pvc planks or something, I used those on an outside window frame and with composite decking. They are just plain white and you can cut them with a circular saw to fit. Screw those in, then use the PVC caps for a cleaner look if you'd like...It's a pretty rough surface as-is, so it may not be pretty.

You're going out of town. She's going to have a party. You might as well agree to it, so you have at least some control over it. If you refuse, and she does it anyway, it's going to be a much larger problem.

So what you do is spend a little time going over the public areas with her. Talk about what rooms and places are acceptable for guests and what ones are not. You also may want to get something like this for your bedroom door, to make sure no one goes in.

But the main reason to go over all of the public areas with her is so you can both take photos and take note of any pre-existing damage to your things, or your home. Ask her to point out anything just like if she was renting a car or completing a lease agreement for a new apartment.

Once you've agreed on where the party can take place, and the condition of the things in those areas, then you need to explain to her that any damage to your belongings will be her personal responsibility to replace. Tell her that even something so small as a scratch on the remote control will mean she has to replace your TV.

Then explain that any damage to your home or property will be professionally repaired or restored at her expense. This doesn't mean she can put you off by saying "Oh Jim-Bob broke the door handle, but he's going to replace it." It doesn't mean that she can give you 10 gallons of paint and call it even for a scratched wall, unless you agree to accept a substitution for professional repairs after assessing the damage yourself.

It doesn't matter who caused the damage, or what repayment options she's going to make with her guests if they break something. That's her problem. Instead, she will pay you back immediately, to your satisifaction. Then she can do whatever she wants about it with the person who did it.

But ultimately, it's on her. If she doesn't trust her friends to be respectful of her home, she shouldn't invite them to her party. But as long as she's willing to accept the responsibility there's no reason she shouldn't be allowed to have a party. Even if she doesn't own the place, she still pays rent and (for now) she still gets to call it home.

You don't need to completely avoid using it, but switch immediately to the other hand if there's discomfort.

Another reminder:

Make sure your wrist is neutral (no flexion or extension).

http://i.imgur.com/vypL53j.gif

In regards to feeling discomfort when you're resting your wrist on the table:

Unless you're so close to the table where your elbow is on the surface, I think that there's some exertion required to keep your wrist on the surface.

An example of a bad position would be if you're far away from the surface, and your wrists are hanging on the edge.

(That's why I'm eventually going to switch from a keyboard tray to an adjustable desk, and keyboard slide with a custom sized tray.

http://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Slide-Extension-Steel-Set/dp/B00AHFRUHE

I want more of my forearm on a surface, and a stock tray isn't deep enough.

I have a bad back, which is why I like stiff and non-adjustable chairs.

If you have an adjustable chair, then it should be fine since you can use a regular table
).

Find a better resting position for the right hand.

Try:

Maybe have more of your right forearm on the surface.

Have it the table, but don't rest it on a mouse (there's some wrist extension involved when it's on the mouse).

Have the right arm by your side.
