Good Sticker? yay or nay? I can do any color variant here; I've tweaked the original artwork to be greyscale, and I can add whatever colors or gradients. I wanted to do a couple variants, but this is my first go.


The grey is the background, and not part of the sticker. Sticker should be 3"x1.5" or so. Wanting to sell them on my etsy, what would you pay? The going rate for stickers of this size, in waterproof vinyl, are $4 and up. Would asking 2$ per sticker be too low compared to similar? I would pay 2 bucks for this. But I need community input, please!

2 or 3 I’d pay

everyone always tells me to double my prices. $4 for a UV-proof waterproof vinyl sticker is par for the course I think.

Whew. I'm about 3hrs in moving my security camera. It was on the wall where the tank needs to go so it had to be moved. So tired. Moved it to beside the TV. Unfortunately hubs wanted a TV larger than the space so we had to have it off centered. Which sucks for my OCD, but I have the tank I want so I willingly lost this fight. I don't watch much TV here anyway, if I'm in the living room I'm glued to my tank.

I had to feed that mess of wires back outside, re route the bulk of them on the outside of the house, hubs is getting a drill bit from the store, we need to drill a hole to route the wires from inside to outside. That's his only help with this, the drilling the hole.

Once that's done I'll feed the wires through, organize, plug back in and I'll be done.... Mostly. I already added a 40' and 20' Ethernet cables, one for the new TV location that's farther and one for the new tank location for the Apex.

Then I need to repair all the holes in the wall and repaint, and finish the floor trim, since I never did that....

Ok, help. Hubs and I have had some stand discussions and I'm torn. I planned a traditional 2x4 stand, then skinned w/doors. Hubs took a level and the floor is off by and 1/4" or more on one side. He thinks we should build like a giant base cabinet built to accommodate the unlevel floor and attached the the wall studs, like you would a kitchen cabinet. He thinks it'll be way sturdier than supported by the floor alone. He thinks shims or leveling feet would not be as secure.

I agree it'll be stronger, yes, level, yes, but what about moisture? A totally enclosed sump area sounds like a terrible idea. I did want a separate electronics area, to keep things dry, but how to mitigate the humidity in an enclosed cabinet? Fans? Venting holes/ cutouts? Side panel as a mesh screen maybe?

Needs ideers!

No basement, won't consider what we have as a crawl space either, it's too small. House is old AF, however this is a center wall and was designed with a chimney. We fully removed the chimney when we bought it, brick by brick, and re Sheetrock'd the walls and did a bunch of subfloor repair and had to completely rebuild parts of the kitchen. Huge mess. But, we had the entire subfloor in the kitchen gone, and I inspected what I could view at the time and this center wall is fully supported at the bottom for the weight of the brick chimney.

Any surface top leveler products are out of the question as I can't argue that would be better than his way.
