carson & chipsa, I like your thinking. He didn't put a window in his MB plan or a linen closet. Jeezz I think the entry area is too large and wasted floor space don't you? I almost think he needs to start completely over. Frustrating, we waited 2 weeks to get this and I am not sure how to tell him. I think he thought this was a "good to go" plan. I found this plan today on line and so with photo shop I added his suggested garage set up, changed the kitchen to have a island, enlarged the screened in porch. I think the great room looks to be too small & MB could be set up different. Do you think this plan has a good flow for 2 adults that will have overnight guests? I want to give him feed back on the plan he sent me with a alternate plan to show him. Thank you Here is a link that might be useful: Plan I found on the internet: This post was edited by KayakCove on Sat, Jul 5, 14 at 15:04

Hi Prairiemoon. To see how much a folder holds you open Explorer, right click on the folder in question then click Properties. This will tell you the total size of the folder and how many files are in there. There is no way to tell how many files can fit on a CD simply because there are files of just a few kilobytes and other can be many megabytes. In future you might consider creating a new folder inside ÂMy documents perhaps  (open Explorer, click ÂMy documents to highlight it, click File at the top, click ÂNew click ÂFolderÂ. Type a name you wish to use. Now you can copy your photos into that occasionally doing the right click/properties thing on the folder name to check for overall folder size, stopping when you either have all the needed photos or capacity is reached. As you have 262 megs on the CD you can add about 438 more megs to fill it. You may get a warning about compatibility but continue on. I do and it is fine. No, you cannot delete anything from a CD once it is burned. Practise a little, you may make a few throw away disks but you will learn the right way. (Any I throw away I scratch across the medium a few times in case it gets picked out of the garbage  unlikely but I am a bit cautious with family photos) All files burned to CD are ÂRead onlyÂ, they cannot be otherwise because you cannot alter them. You can copy any that need editing back to your hard drive but you will need to give it another name before being allowed to modify it. I generally add a number to the end if it is a name or a letter if the title is numerical. Again, once the CD is burned changes are not possible so the name remains the same. You can of course write what you like on the CD using a Sharpie or getting fancy with CD labels if you plan on doing quite a few. Labelling kits are around $20  and up for the kit and software or the opportunity to download software from the vendorÂs site. Using a Sharpie I write right across the middle of a CD or DVD so it shows through the window of my paper sleeves. I have no time or space for the plastic things CDs go in. I use any known brand of CD or DVD myself, I do not use off brands. Why risk failing? If the material is considered important enough to save then save it confident that it can be retrieved at a future time. I would not burn photos to a DVD simply because of the huge numbers capable of being burned. Of course if you really plan ahead and get all you photos lined up as you want them in folders and sub folders then it might be feasible. On that note, why are blank DVDs so much cheaper than blank CDs these days? Books to my mind are not the answer regarding computers. They are out of date before they reach the street at times and can be very expensive. Personally I am a big fan of Google. Type Âphoto editing tutorial or what ever you need to know ending in Âtutorial and you will get thousands of pages come up. Look through those and find perhaps 3 that are written in a style you personally are comfortable with and save those to your Bookmarks/Favourites. I hope this helps and I have not bored you to tears, haha.

Part of the problem is that it's not always obvious that a stop light even exists. Many of the lights were completely turned around so that there was no pole stretching across the intersection. To someone not familiar with the area, or to someone with little driving experience, it might not be intuitive to stop at some of these intersections. And that's a good reason NOT to be driving at night till all the stop lights are repaired. But even in the daytime, many of these intersections are just plain dangerous. It really is amazing how much we depend on certain things that we take for granted. After nine days without power, I was so freaked out that I still don't feel recovered, even though it's been 4.5 days since we got it back. I will not restock my fridge & freezer for at least a couple of weeks. I've hit the grocery store twice since Sunday, each time buying enough to cook for two nights only. I still come home every night wondering if the lights will still be on. As of this morning 433,000 customers still don't have power. At least four of them sit near me in the office. Today will make two weeks. Until they all have power and all the stop lights work and all the schools reopen and all the stores reopen, we will still be in hurricane mode. Y'all are right, the aftermath is much worse than the actual storm.

Congratulations! Treat yourself to a wonderful dinner at your favorite restaurant. You deserve it. These are not easy times to be a seller. Wishing you fair winds & safe harbor! Tricia
