if you were near auburn i might could steer you to some. there is a construction area down the street from where i work. they demolished a house and drained a very small lake or large pond in the back. they are currently bringing in unconsolidated material which contains quite a lot of rock of all sizes to fill this area. i was thinking that the developer would let someone pick the rock from the soil, making compaction easier and more uniform. if you are interested in driving the distance, i could call the realtor and check for you.

How about "Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye? Anything from "Saturday Night Fever". So many more, but age is taking over................

Our kitchen was more of a rebuild than a redesign. We didn't change the layout very much but one of the small changes we did make ended up causing an issue. The original end cabinet on our cooktop wall was 9". We used the bottom for trays and it wasn't too awful but we didn't use the top cabinet at all because it was useless. After the KD laid everything out we talked about it and decided to change that cabinet from a 9" to a 12" cabinet. Good for trays below and since it would have a glass door we could put a few display items above. In order to add those 3" the KD took 3" from the super Susan in the corner. The resulting problem wasn't discovered until the cabinets were being installed and I was called at work and told that the run of cabinets 90 degrees to that run was coming up 3" short of where they should be! She had taken 3" from the super Susan and added it back on the one run but never added it back to the other side! My kitchen is not big enough to lose 3" of floor space or counter space. I had the carpenter remove that run of cabinets and move them out the 3" and add a filler. I hated that filler though. We had a pretty lengthy delay between putting in the cabinets and adding the counters so it gave me plenty of time to stare at that gap. I ended up ordering a 3" spice pull out from rev-a-shelf and it is a much better solution. I only wish I had known about the gap,well beforehand. I'd have moved those cabinets 6" instead of 3" and had a more substantial pullout had I had time to really think about it.

At first I wasn't sure I liked my grid. It seemed I spent a lot of time chasing bits of food down the drain that would have been easy to just direct with my hand. The idea of gunk on the underside bothered me. Now I like it. I don't care if my SS sink gets scratches. In fact, the little feet of my grid have made tiny little scratches. What I like the best, and which others also mention, is the grid gives you a relatively flat surface above the bottom of the sink, on top of which you can set things to dry while the water sloshes down below. I often dry things there and the criss-cross makes it easy to stack many cookie trays on end. As for cleaning, I do this once a week: Take my grid out of the sink and give my sink and good scrub with Ajax (or the cleanser of your choice). Then I put the grid in upside down and scrub with Ajax, flip over and scrub the other side. Then spray rinse. Takes me maybe 5 minutes. I got a positive reveal on my sink, never knowing that the right size cutting board will sit there. I never do that, because I too would forget and turn on the water full blast and wet myself.
