(wish I had a catchy title) Need layout help
Comments (16)rhome, some of your suggestions make me wonder where my head has been! They are so elegantly simple, but so not something I had considered! Keep those cards and letters coming! bmore, over the last six months we have measured, re-measured, read, cogitated, consulted with architects, plumbers, interior decorators, friends, neighbors, and winos off the street. There is no place for the laundry to go but where it is without incuring more expense than we are ready to take on. The center of the range is currently 63" from the wall next to the MBR door. It does not need to stay exactly where it is. Just generally on that wall. The same with the sink. The center of the sink is 31.5" from the laundry closet wall. It does not need to stay exactly where it is. It just needs to stay somewhere on the wall where it currently is. Again, thank you for your interest and for your suggestions and insights. Keep prodding me. It is helping me look at the problems with a new prespective. I think I've lost sight of the forest for the trees....See MoreWhat nutty things have your pets done? Show us!
Comments (128)@aok @my3dogs He has very strong big feet but his nails are never a problem. They never get sharp. I do have them all trimmed regularly at the vet. I think I posted this before but this video shows you how goofy caique's are: http://youtu.be/_DIMJ2eENow My little rescue green cheek also likes to lay on his back and wrestle with my fingers. My rescue nanday rolls on her side next me and sucks on her toe. It is so endearing!...See MoreI just read Shaw Floor through Costco reviews OMG! Now what?
Comments (112)I can comment on Pergo flooring. I had it installed about 12 years ago through Lowes. We had a very experienced flooring installer put them in. He did lots of prep work first: screwed down all the floor boards prior to installing the Pergo and all my flooring squeaks went away. My Pergo looks as good today as the time it was installed. I have dropped items on this flooring over the years: no dings or scratches. My brother who is a real estate appraiser for expensive properties was surprised it was Pergo and not wood. I can not say enough about Pergo. Best of luck in your decision. Always research and read lots of reviews on any projects you plan to do. The time you spend is worth it❣️❣️...See MoreWhat idiotic things have you done while cooking?
Comments (62)For the record I'm not a talented/gifted/instinctual cook. I personally prefer my food overcooked although nobody else in the household AKA my poor husband shares that preference. And I tend to get distracted easily. So I've definitely got my share of cooking oopsies. Once I picked up a container of cocoa powder to put into the batch of frosting I was working on. Knowing that stuff usually cakes and clumps, I gave it a quick upside down shake to easily spoon out powder. Yep, lid was loose and I spent the next hour cleaning up cocoa powder from floor, pantry, counters, fronts of cabinets etc. My husband likes to hand wash dishes and consistently leaves dish towels sopping wet which annoys me because I hate picking up a gross damp towel, especially one that was clean and fresh a few hours earlier. Had the bright idea to put a moist towel into the warm oven one night after dinner to dry out, thinking I'd just grab it in a few minutes. A few minutes turned into the next night when thank god I smelled something odd in my now preheating oven. It was dry though, I'll give myself credit for that. One Thanksgiving I hadn't taken the turkey out to thaw early enough and it was still semi frozen in the morning. I could not get my hands into the cavity to dig out the giblets, and eventually after poking around I figured maybe there weren't any so into the oven it went. There were, and I guess the turkey that year had it's own make-your-own internal giblet gravy flavor. My MIL wrote in her journal about the kids excitedly calling her later 'grandma! Mom found the turkey parts!'....See Moredaisychain Zn3b
