OT- Can I whine just a bit??
Comments (10)Well, if your kitchen turns out anything like the bathroom re-model you just did before this, it will be well worth the 'non-decorating' gene domination!!! And I'm sure your kitchen is a dream come true! Can't wait to see pics! After our floors remodeling I have put off the kitchen countertops & maybe taking down one cabinet to open up even more ...so I know your feelings first hand! Later it will happen. My decor has been lacking lately because of all this wonderful weather!...so I'm outside alot...but today is cleaning day for Easter weekend (inside, ugh) I'm glad you 'whined' as you stated... cause losing any mobility is just the pits! Hope it heals for you & that you will be able to use your left hand more soon! Happy Easter, Marlene. Jeanne S....See MoreA bit OT: What's in your wallet (or purse)?
Comments (15)A 25' tape measure and digital camera are always in my purse. In my "construction" bag in my trunk, I also have a 100' tape, a 200' tape, a roll of caution tape, stakes, sharpies, flashlights, a roll of painters tape, box cutters, wire ties, snips (my GC got a bunch of grief from his subs when these were needed one day and I was the only one onsite who had them), etc. The one thing that I don't have, but I have needed more than once (in fact I think I'll pick one up today) is a small level. The subs and my GC are always arguing that "yes, it is level...we checked" even though I can tell with my bare eyes that it's not. It would be nice to have immediate verification...I've never been wrong though so you would think they'd realize by now that they should just accept what I say! :) It's also "shocking" that none of them can ever produce the level that they used to check their work when I ask about it!!!...See MoreA bit OT: Boat Bottom Paint
Comments (9)We are not in your area, but we sail in extremely yucky, slimy water of the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries. We upgraded 3 seasons ago to the Micron Extra. We got 2 seasons out of the paint, minor sanding & touch ups 2nd season. We haul , light powerwash at marina, and relaunch each season. It is a bit more expensive than the Micron CSC - but hey, you're already spending a fortune for the CSC - what's a few more $$ ? We think it is worth it and performed as stated. Use a heavy napped roller & put it on thick. (I don't get help painting interior, but do help boat bottom painting - I am definietly doing something wrong!) About the cayenne :"Welcome to BoatUS Ask the Experts Web Site! Question: Don Casey:, We are very confused over what bottom paint is appropriate for our area. We live in Sarasota, FL and have a 2003 250 Catalina with the original bottom paint from the factory. What bottom paint could you recommend? Also, how difficult do you think it is to do the work ourselves? We are going to have it hauled at Salt Creek Marina in St Pete and they will allow us to work on it ourselves. If you think it's ok for a couple of rookies to do the bottom painting, do you recommend adding cayenne pepper to the paint, how much sanding & how many coats would you put on? Thanks for any help you can offer! Carolyn Thomas Kurt Answer: Kurt, Bottom paints that are 100% effective in some waters give miserable results in other waters. My advice on bottom paint choice is always to ask other boaters in your area what they use and if it keeps the bottom clean for a season or longer. Buy the paint that gets the most local praise. In the latest Practical Sailor evaluation, Micron Extra, Micron Optima, and Micron 66 all received excellent ratings for fouling tests conducted in Florida waters. Petit Premium Performance, Petit Vivid, and Blue Water Copper Pro were equally effective. Petit Trinidad did not show as well in this test but nearly always does test well and is a long-time favorite of thousands of Florida boaters. Ask around. My thinking on cayenne pepper is if improved the antifouling properties of bottom paint, all the paint companies would add it, but try it if you like. It shouldn't hurt anything.

Comments (3)Wow, that would be great if you would. Yes, it didn't look that "hard." I would love to find something close. It has a cool look, modern without being too contemporary. It looks like it would go with anything and not show too much dirt. In general, I don't like tile, but this one caught my attention....See Morekelleg69
