I've searched and searched and there doesn't seem to be a place to click on "my posts" in the forums. Do I just have to remember which threads I'm following? I don't understand how a forum community this large cannot have the simple functions that every other forum in which I participate has... "my posts", "recent posts", sort by date, # of posts per user, etc. I love the wealth of information available here, but it's a little frustrating to navigate. Even the search results are shown in a jumble of confusing boxes. Does anyone know if there are plans to enhance user features? I'm fairly new here (I've lurked, and only recently started to post) but a quick perusal of the threads in this section indicate that site development is not a priority. ??

I have to agree with Lowspark. I drive a SUV, a big one. I pull a trailer with it in the summer, and it's the only tow vehicle we now own. (So I don't get slammed as I have in the past for driving a gas hog!) That said, I wish I had the back up camera, which was not available when we bought it in 2005. I use my mirrors, I turn and look, but there are blind spots, as there are with ANY vehicle. We do have a back up camera in the motor home. What a God send! DH even added a side view camera, as the glass in the door is a frosted privacy glass. When you come to a diagonal intersection, you can NOT see from the driver's seat to check traffic coming from the right. Normally we are both in it so the other checks traffic, but there are times we need that side view camera, either when only one of us is in it, or when checking traffic at highway ramps. For some reason, people no longer think that they have to yeild when they are the ones entering the highway, they think we have to move over to let them on. Well, I have news for them. Some day they will be buying someone else a new vehicle. There are times you just can't be nice and move over for them! Especially driving a large vehicle, SUV or motorhome as examples. Those cameras are great! You might only use it once in a while, but that one time might save a life or a car,no matter how careful you are. Tami

They're 'piddly' compared to Stonehenge Hissy :-) It takes quite a bit of effort to move them. We used round fence posts to roll them, removing the rear post to the front as you progress to your destination. Then it takes my two big strapping lads and my equally strapping son in law, to man handle them into place. I have buried them in soil about a third of the length deep. I have not used concrete as that would make moving them again almost impossible. I had a 'stonehenge circle before we built the new pond. Got it way before such stones became fashionable. I have to think very carefully before they erect and bury them in, because moving is quite a challenge. I do chide the boyz tho' I mean Stoneage man moved their stones, which were huge, over 100's of miles... we're only talking about moving ours a few yards in our back garden :-) I certainly would'nt get any of the stones in a car. I've got the stones erect now, so I'll post a picture of that. The idea of superman lending a hand is quite appealing... so far all I have seen is Clives paunch :-)

Hello all. Please help with advice on where to place the electric fireplace vs an optional tv viewing position. The 1st photo is the view at the bottom of the stairs and entering the main area. Im mixed on whether I should put a half fireplace under the window, or onto the wall on the left. On the right where the small green stool is, is where the sofa will go and on the left wall, is where the TV will go. The distance of seating to the wall is just over 11ft. If I put a full fireplace on the left wall, the top of the TV (65 inch) will be a few inches under the ceiling and the bottom of the TV will be around 10 inches above that green tape. The green tape is eye level when sitting down. On this 2nd photo, is where the TV will be placed if I place the half fireplace under the window. The 4 small pieces of tape are the approx outside edges of the TV, with the larger tape being eye level. I cant purchase a mount to bring the TV down and still have the fire place place under because it would break the clearance area (203mm) above the fireplace. So: Option 1: Half fireplace under the window with optimal TV placement - practical option Option 2: Full fire place on the wall, TV placed high - aesthetic option Im using a white stone veneer (with shiny bits in it) and the mantle will be a similar color as the floor.
