What type of edging to do?
Comments (4)I think your decision depends on a lot of factors that you haven't mentioned. If you decide to go with poly edging, the price you were quoted seems really high. I've used lots of it in my yard and if it's put in properly, I think it looks alright. Actually, if it's put in correctly you don't really see it. I've always used Black Diamond brand edging from a nursery rather than Home Depot stuff. I haven't put any in for a few years, but the last time I bought it, it cost $17 for 20 ft. It's really easy to put in. I've included a link that shows how to properly install it, but in my opinion, it's missing a big hint. I always overlap it by about five inches at the seams. Do this by removing the top round part and the bottom "v" part of one piece, overlapping, and inserting a few screws to hold them together. This keeps the pieces from pulling apart and keeps grass from growing between. Here is a link that might be useful: Scroll halfway down the linked page....See MoreWhat type of camera do you use? Would you recommend it to others?
Comments (5)Don't have a digital camera, so can't help you there. I can tell you that if you're looking for a 35 mm point and shoot, you get what you pay for when you buy the cheap cameras. To get anything that lasts you're best off in the $100-200 range. Stay away from Vivitar. Consumer reports recommends the Olympus LT-Zoom 105, the Minolta Freedom Zoom Orion, the Canon Sure Short 105 zoom, or if you don't need as much zoom, the Canon Sure Shot 85 zoom is cheaper and just as good. I have an Olympus and it's been a great camera. Recommendations for digital cameras were the Olympus Camedia c-2020 zoom, the c-3030 zomm, and the Nokon Coolpix 800. Some less expensive choices were the Fujifilm FinePix 1400 zoom and the Kodak DC215 zoom....See MoreWhat types of Laminate flooring do you recommend?
Comments (3)The "good ones". That is to say anything from Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, etc) that can be as expensive as $4/sf. I also like to see HIGH end underlayment such as 6mm cork underlay used with laminate. The 6mm cork underlay can make a $0.79/sf laminate feel like a "solid" floor. Other than that...stay away from laminates in kitchens. Your inspiration photo would indicate you would like to use the product in a kitchen....See MoreDo you have Microsoft Edge? I hate it, what do I do?
Comments (19)mmmm I just got a new computer with Windows 10 but my son downloaded Chrome on to it which is what I had before on my Windows 7 and never had an issue.. I wonder if it came with Edge because something keeps telling me that my internet is down, like just now, but I know it isn't. I have Norton on it as well. The one thing I haven't done is add Adblock which i had before. I wonder if I should add it. But this internet business is driving me nuts, but I'll have to wait until he comes home....See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
