katlan - just hope that no one hits your Saturn. Our 2002 Saturn wagon had less than 48,000 kms on it - so less than 30,000 miles - when I was rammed by a SUV speeding out of a car wash. He crossed 2 lanes of traffic - causing other cars to stand on their brakes, planning on making an illegal U turn. There I was, sitting in a designated turn lane at a light and bam. I had to have the car towed to the Police collision centre. I live in a no fault insurance province and the police do not come unless you need an ambulance. The damage was probably close to $4,000 - but Saturns do not hold their value and are not being made any longer. We received $3,500 for it from the insurance company - if not for the low mileage it would have been $2,500. Our plan was to drive it for 2 more years until my husband retired and then take taxis etc. But our dog is 9 and we still need the car and we didn't exactly have the luxury of time to look around - and in our situation and not wanting a "high" sitting car (car before the Saturn was a 1990 Honda Prelude) - there were not many deals to be had. I also have/had the creeps when driving due to the lunatics out there doing everything but watching the road. This all happened in late Feb. and we have had ice/snow storms and the rental did not have winter tires and was very wide. So now we have a 2013 Golf 4 door 2.5 Hatchback. I looked at the Jetta - could have had a fully loaded Jetta for the price of the base Golf, but it felt too wide for my husband - and the seat seemed higher. I am seeing a lot of people right now buying the same Golf for the same reason - narrow and sits low. I even had to pay $110 for floor mats. And it was a cash deal. So just be careful because I doubt your insurance company would pay to have your Saturn fixed - same goes with a lot of the older cars. I did look at Honda Civics - they were pushing the 2012 model - it was too wide - not smaller like some of the older models. We had hoped to buy a 1 or 2 year old car but our criteria was to find a car with fewer miles on it than our Saturn - there was only one - it was fully loaded with leather seats etc. so the cost of said Golf would have been considerably higher than our basic. So now we have a Black car with Black seats - and a white dog. Wonderful. I bought the Bowser bucket seat covers in pattern Windsor to try and keep down the white hair - as if. What really hurt was that our Saturn had 2 year old winter tires on it - the same size that our Golf will need - but we couldn't take them. When I went to get our belongings from the car they watched me like a hawk. An autowrecker is going to get a fortune for the parts of our car - but for us to take back a car with a VIN number indicating uninsurable was just not realistic. Our mechanic was devastated. I expect that when the warranty runs out in 4 years that we will have about 5,000 kms on it - if that. The good news is that in our No Fault province I was found Not at Fault. The better news is that the dog was not with me. I hope you enjoy your new car. Looks very nice. And it should hold some value. We didn't need the expense of a Golf in Canada, but after the Saturn disaster I was afraid to buy a cheaper car - I also hated the Honda Fit - just in case. Insurance wise, the Golf cost us less to insure than the Jetta would have - just as a Civic costs a lot more than an Accord. A couple of years ago our insurance coverage changed where I live - premiums went up but coverage went down considerably. I called 5 days before the renewal date and asked how much to bring it back to what it had always been - and paid the difference - as did many people. The new car has even higher coverage. We don't carry the key unless we are in the car - cost to replace is $240 Cdn. plus tax. The dealership (7 minutes from our house - and the collision centre our Saturn was towed to is part of the dealership) had 6 of the base 5 door models in stock - all of course with the heated seats. We had a choice of white, black, navy, red or as I call it "blind side silver". I didn't want white - I look awful in red - and since I always turn my head rather than relying on mirrors I did not want the silver. Choice B would have been navy. Our Saturn was sort of the colour of your Prius. The only reason we had it was because we stopped to look at a used Saab that turned out to be a manual - I can't drive a manual. The Saturn wagon was in the showroom and was fully loaded and I had some GM points. But it was a lemon - other people have had luck - we spent a fortune on it.

We were interested in a stone from a stone-only place and asked the supplier/fabricator if they would cut it. No, for various good reasons. I don't know about the other way around, but you could ask. We ended up with a stone we love from the supplier/fabricator who uses a laser scan system to template. Your lady was incorrect about only measuring straight lines from point to point. This wall has a little dipsy-doodle between studs and here is how it came out: Which is good because that is where the peninsula meets the wall and there was never any tile planed for that wall. All our walls look like that. As far as a luan template goes, they are as good as the templater. Luan is kind of like really thin plywood, cheap, and easy to work with. If your luan pieces are cut to follow the actual contours of your wall (vs. a straight line which may or may not match well), it should be great. The experience and the fastidiousness of the templater will be key. It would be perfectly reasonable for you to ask to see work done by the particular fabricator who would be assigned to your job - they may have more than one. Considering how long it took you to find this unusual stone that you really like and the cost, you have nothing to apologize for in being picky about quality of fabrication.

Usually, but not always, both lowes and HD will meet a price you found on the internet if you bring it in. The layout you do in the ikea kitchen designer doesn't generally include fillers, or matching color end panels (called cover panels). Or decorative trim like crown or light rail. You buy cover panels for all exposed ends. The cover panels are in the designer, but you need to add it to the appropriate cabinets. If you want a door panel, you buy a full height door for a 24" or 12" cabinet. The designer not let you select this piece but your ikean order clerk can. Because they are frameless, you might need to start a run with a small filler - called a starter molding - if the side of the cabinet is against a wall. This insures that your doors and drawers won't hit the wall. The kitchen design price list also includes toe kick covers, countertop and hardware unless you specify not to on each cabinet. Things like hinges, drawers, wire pull outs or shelves show up as separately priced items. Refrigerator enclosures can be made from oven side panels. If you don't like their door styles, you can buy the doors, cover panels, moldings and toe kicks from another company. We bought our doors from scherrs as have many others. The doors took about two weeks to make and ship. For the doors and drawer fronts and a decorative end, we paid about three hundred dollars more than ikea would have charged for the doors and drawers, but we got all solid wood, mitered cherry doors and drawer fronts. We bought the doors finished, but not stained. We added some fillers from a local source. You can also design up your kitchen in the ikea designer or any other way you'd like, but get scherrs to make better quality cabinets for you. The thing with going that way is you can customize the width, height or depth of any cabinet and/or get special pieces made or fancy trim. We had scherrs cabinets in the kitchen that was destroyed and I loved them. They used to be about 1/3 less than Kraftmaid. We ended up doing the blended ikea=scherrs because ikea is less than 30 minutes away and I didn't want to wait even an extra month to special order.
