GREASER

I am friends with what I consider to be the next big deal in car pic....see www.myspace.com/loscochinoscc the artsy ones are hers

ikea has those.

East end project will prob. not be done....the money will "run out" before they get to there...

I am having ac problems again. If there is a ac person or if anyone has a good reference please let me know....I am pretty sure I have a burnt contactor that turns on the fan...but I dont know how to get the part, and really dont have time to mess with it. I also am contemplating a new unit....so any reference is appreciated

Oh man that happened to me last yr...never saw it coming, sad thing is I was actually the "hit man" at work cause everyone else was scared to fire someone....I was on the phone everyday 8 hrs a day till I found a job....this is Houston and there are jobs everywhere...especially in construction/storage/building/equipment positions associated with the port...you should post a condensed resume on here.

Musicman...I will buy some if ya want to get rid of it....need like 5 ft x 6 inches.....and I have never seen it at lowes...which one would that be flipper?

I know its not standard anymore, but one of the stores carried it...which one?

you can get the stain from ebay...its just a clear with a toner...strip the wood and brush it on...Adrian at Adrians Restorations did mine.

home depot has too many contractor types with inadequate ck out for those purchases...on thing they are trying is a traveling ck out that someone scans all your items then swipes a card to add your info. When you reach the cashier you just hand the card, swipe it and pay. Unfortunetly the guy using the ck out needed alot more training, and the ck out person took forever to double ck everything..ahhhh progress...

oh I will..David was a really nice guy and great manager...I also went to Home Depot at Gulfgate...that was an experience in guirrila (sp?) warfare...

Has anyone here noticed the service quality at our Lowes has gone downhill...not sure if its just me or not. In the past I was always greeted and at least 3 people would ask if they could help. Now you cant find any help, the store is dirty and its just a real negative experience. Yesterday I was in line with about 100$ of building supplies, there was a super long line, and 4 employees off to the side (on break?) just having a great time playing grab ass with each other. I was so pissed I just left my stuff and went home. There was a great manager there and not sure where he went....damn its 8 am and now I have to drive to Lowes on 610 just to buy a damn window. (I refuse to go to home depot...that place is horrible). I would love to pay a little more for a nicer store...any suggestions?

20 yr old difference in sibblings?? thats weird

If you are serious, do something different. Not another pretty club, but aim at the alternatives....continental club, numbers, blancos, all have been around longer than the avg club life

Cop neighbor says its a 500 fee for loose dogs..I think I may take him on a walk with me this week as there is one house thats a repeat offender..

Everytime we walk with our dogs, there are always dogs that come up and charge my dogs...of course mine are on a leash and theirs arent. There have been a couple of small fights with them...I usually go after the dog and kick them if I can and that stops it....is it against the law to spray them with mace...I am tired of this crap. How fast does the pound respond to loose dogs? Does any one have a suggestion?

pei wei is my fave ...in and out super quick.

There were some problems initially with a flat roof, but Randy totally took care of the problem, even some of it that was mine. No charge, even offered a new roof if it leaked again.

Its great...starfish roofing can tell ya all about it

Well I installed a cheap window and set it back a few inches into the house and looks really nice....so all my wood windows (1939 house) are coming out. I have one that I have made a new frame for and restored the sashes (?) and I am not going to use it...I have new glass for it. 50$. I will sell the rest of the windows for 10ea. The measurement given is guesstimate, but they are the standard 6 over 6 windows.

Ya she digs (ha) the job...but she realizes there is not much demand here. She was actually wandering about other professions that are out of the norm that use archaeologist. Like site prep work for foundations or maybe inspections for digging? Something along those lines.

btt

ya that area. So they are going to build a school? As long as its not another bus station or 99 cent store.

She would love to work there...volunteering now...but its kinda different going from a hands on person (interactive sites with kids/adults), to just standing there. Funny with the Roman exhibit now, she has actually excavated Roman soldiers/battlefields, but they didnt care to much for her additional imput.

So my new wife will soon be able to work (waiting on legal status). Her degree and profession (in Sweden) was a archeologist/museum curator. Does anyone know of some niche markets that the degree could be used in? (other than the museum...seems they just want volunteers)...Any advise is appreciated, she just doesnt want to be a school teacher.

I am talking about the 20 acres that someone was going to build housing on then pulled out....I have seen surveyors there the past few days...anyone know whats going on?
