Think of how many people (me for one) go thru the store in one day, grabbing, tugging, prying etc on the kitchens...and they still look great. If you use common sense in the assembly (maybe glue, extra screws if needed) you would come up with a better product.

We looked at the cabinets again. They use the Blum tandembox slides, like Kraftmaid. They are particle board like everything else. They arent expensive, and look ok. I think we will be buying a complete kitchen shortly. I too, am scared of them falling apart, but the inlaws have had theirs for 30 yrs and say they hold up great.

We are redoing our kitchen, and cant seem to find a normal, wood cabinet without raised panels etc. I love the look of the Kerf cabinets, but not sure about hardware, fit and finish. Cost is approx 500-700 per linear foot. Anyone that has them, or has seen them, please chime in and let me know what you think about them.

we are now looking for cabinets and checked out Ikea last night...some look VERRRY similiar to the Kraftmade units. Its scary that they are just plastic laminated pressboard. Look at the Kraftmade Valencia/Mirra (?) units online or at Lowes. They are nice, come in colors, and have very nice hardware. Also look at the Kerf site. Unfortunately they are priced about the same as customer cabinets (300$ per linear foot)
-
I have seen them on Craigslist as well...maybe put a wanted add on there....its free.
-
there is a company called Tiny Houses up by Austin....very cool small houses made with recycled mat. Lowes has some plans online...they are kinda mod..guessing they were developed to get a grant or something from the gov. They were once advertised as living quarters for hurricane victims

older gas lines are copper. thats what being crushed. your just moving in??? didnt you get a home warranty??? i would read up and see what it covers...I mean, what if plastic were to get wrapped around the ac and burned it up??? you would have to get a new ac unit and the warranty should cover that.

just trying to get a ballpark on what stainless kitchen counter tops are going for by the sq ft.

heres a secret..Harbour Frieght is a very large tool company...large enough that they have the big names (milwakee for one) build their own line of tools for about half the price....go to one of their stores and you will see their tool brand next to the one that is exactly like it.

quite sure the show boat has shut down due to lack of intrest

I am starting several large projects soon and was wondering about laborers pay. On the east side, at home cheapo there are alot that stand all day without getting anything..I usually pay 10/hr. If its truly supply and demand, and given they WANT to work, shouldnt the pay be less? Whats everyone elses experience.

Man Greaser, that is some excellent 411. I thought I had a criminal mind myself, but I am apparently NOT as crafty as you. You don;t live in my neighborhood do you ? LOL!
Not sure....gimme your address and I`ll tell ya...what motor do you have in that classic???? muahahhaha.
-
remove the emergency rope pull if there is one...you can push in the top of the door and snag it with a coat hanger..that releases the motor and you can open the door

I looked at this sharkbite stuff and its the same principal as air brakes on big trucks. Fittings are a one time use, looks like a super easy way to plumb a house though. I am going to invest in that crimper and redo my house.

maybe I am not calling this product correctly..I am talking about prefinished 3/4 inch hardwood flooring..same wood thru the plank...cost under $4 sq ft. I am probably going with the real thing (Klassic Hardwoods reclaimed is 7 sq ft installed and refinished), but was just wondering as this is always a cheaper option.
-
Not the super thin stuff with a pic of wood..we are talking the 3/4 in. prefinished stuff...seems to be the same price as installing unfinished, the finishing. Is this stuff junk or not..to me it seems the logical way for real wood flooring, but not sure if I missing something here.

last job had one...common knowledge of electricty will let you bypass it.
-
I signed on this am and now it seems all responses are collapsed and I have to click each response to view...is this something I did? How can I fix it? Its super irratating (sp?)
-
ya that neon rivals the Colorado Club ...whatever that place is.
-
sooo instead of going to Myako (sp?) on our regular Wed night rest. we decided to go to the new Star sushi restraunt. Sign is huge, no one is ever there so we decided to go. Its not open yet. It was kinda embarassing..just FYI so no one else waste their time going....I will say that place is very large. Hopefully people from the area will ck it out.
-
The most embarassing part of this whole deal is that there is a group somewhere (city employees) that actually picked these and were proud of their choices. Wonder how much they are getting paid?

Before you waste alot of time removing wallpaper, you may want to think of just installing 1/4 inch sheetrock then tape and float. Sounds like a real handyman worked in your house and just used whatever paint was around. Oil paint over latex primer will peel like that.
-
the colors on the underpass are tacky and trashy...not sure what they were trying to accomplish..is this the citys attempt to say welcome to the east end? Reminds of when my neighbor painted his garge pink and green...he said it matched his brick.ha

We went and it was good. There were some really big people there..and not like famous. There was alot of fried stuff w/sauces..but the sushi was good. I was very surprised..they actually had salmon that was just sliced sitting there. This is the same as the buffet at Tidwell and 45...its exactly the same, must be the same owners.?
