I just ran across this thread while looking on the internet for flooring to patch an old wood floor. Very interesting thread. Could someone tell me a good place on Garden Web to find a thread about removing sticks of the old floor and replacing. I found information on utube but not about how to figure how much flooring to purchase. Mine will need repair much like mrplows. I have one very bad area which will need thirty two 2 1/4 wide sticks. Each stick would only need to be 8 inches long which is because a wall was torn out and there was no hardwood under that wall. I will need to figure out how much wood to get to make the lengths varied. My other area needs fourteen of the 2 1/4 and each is 60 inches. I have a feeling I am going to need to purchase a lot of hardwood for the repairs. Thanks for any information.

As Patches said, you can go to gifworks.com, upload your desired gif. You will have to upload it to your computer first, then to photobucket. When in photobucket, click on edit (above the photo) A new page will appear Click on "decorate" Click on "text" or "glitter text" Two boxes will pop up. One is where the actual text will appear on your photo. The other is where you will type your text. Drag and stretch the one that will hold your actual text to where you want it. Choose the options you want in the box on the right. (I usually use a transparent background and coordinate the color of the text to what is in the photo) Click "apply" when you are done with the text. You have the option to replace the photo or make a copy. I usually make a copy, so I can use it for something else. There is an "undo" button, if you decide you don't like the way it turned out...but you have to use that before you click apply. This is just for adding text. You can add stickers, frames, make it black and white, blur the edges, etc. also. Hope that helps.

Socks, I use the google search engine. Type in whatever you're looking for, ie- "valentine gif" and then when it comes up with a list, click on images. Then it will show you thumbnails of your subject, pages and pages of them. You can refine it by adding "animated" or whatever you're looking for. For me, this is so much easier than going to websites full of gifs and plowing thru them, since most of them don't show the images too readily.
