my house is a Superfund site
Comments (17)The person I live with wanted to remodel the kitchen, two bathrooms and hallways to and from. New fake wood floors were put in and because the kitchen counter had some support issues the whole thing had to be rebuilt and so we sprung for a big stone countertop (marble or granite? I forget). All this sounds expensive and it was, but the real pay off is in the cleaning. All surfaces can be cleaned with simple warm water and a sponge. Not that it happens THAT often! This fact was really put to the test when I had the house to myself for two whole weekends. It was raining and storming outside so I actually wheeled a wheelbarrow full of growmix/compost blend up the front steps and through the front door, down the hallway all the way to the new and improved kitchen. That nice "L" shaped countertop made the perfect workspace and the wand attachment on the new sink made it so easy to remove all traces of my dirty deeds. Friends would call and ask what I was doing. I would state that I was potting up transplants. They would then ask if we had put a phone line out to the potting/tool shed? I said "not exactly" and left it at that. You don't know who you can trust with this sort of knowledge....See Moreseattle - lk wa waterfront building permit help needed please!
Comments (8)Live_wire-oak makes sense. You really cannot afford not to consult with an attorney. As to the roles and responsibilities of the City of Seattle, only someone with actual knowledge of and experience dealing with that office is an a position to advise you regarding them. FWIW, I currently own waterfront property in another state and have for a number of years. In the not too distant past, I spent a lot of time searching for waterfront in the Puget Sound area, including talking to local authorities regarding prospective properties. I did not look within the Seattle city limits, however. Based on my experience, you need a lawyer, period. I will tell you that anytime you are looking at waterfront property, you can expect to have to deal with a myriad of state and local authorities and interest groups. If the waterfront is tidal or federally navigable, the fine hand of one or more federal agencies will be there to grace you with their presence, rules, and regs, either now or in the future. If you do not have the time, inclination, mindset, or funds to deal with this kind of "oversight," I respectfully suggest you rethink waterfront living, especially in an environmentally sensitive political climate such as Washington state.....See MoreLook at Casey's Site of the Day.

Comments (16)That home is pretty, lynn I only saw 4 pics but it doesn't sprawl like the ones we're talking about. Beautiful views. On television I saw a monster home that Mike Tyson had. It was sooo sad. He admitted that the decorator picked every little thing on his tables and bookshelves. Not a real memory of something a friend gave him or a place in time. No family pictures. Nothing to call home. He went bankrupt too. If I were a movie star I would be embarrased to live in any of those homes. Brad and Angelina's home is on a cliff. I don't get that. Also this is only one of a couple of houses the stars have. It's not that my life has been so suppressed that I can't think bigger. But gilded crap like the Donald has? Does the house represent their salary? I'll sound like a Pollyanna and that's fine but they can get tax breaks by helping out the hundreds of towns that are dying out. Start a manufacturing company in one of them. Everybody wins. Make your own cloth, manufacture clothes here in America again. I want to believe Brad Pitt is still helping the people in New Orleans. There are other stars too. Can't understand why people still are without the basics there. That town has had constant help from Ellen D and Harry Connick and I guess the government. What's up. Are the officials maybe a little corrupt?...See MoreIs anyone else having trouble getting on this new Houzz site???
Comments (30)I just gave up...... After having a Gardenweb account since forever, since back when it was an offshoot of the "Parent Soup" channel thing at AOL.back in the mid-late 1990's and was still doing the same thing at the various changes and new corporate whatevers and never had an issue before or after changing my email address to Gmail in April 2004. I finally just entered a new account name at the same exact email address I have maintained since April 2004 and seemingly have either no "old" account or the new account has no conflict with the old. The old just not being able to "sign in". I have been doing this sort of thing since 1990 before even AOL back when "online" was a BBS running off of a hot rod 2400 Baud modem plug in card on an Apple IIE. I have never been one tobe concerned with site appearances, but the Huuzz scheme fonts colors layout everything, is absolutely horrendous. Just my $.02 worth..... YMMV...See MorePinebaron
