Cable filters and if anyone has used one before?
Comments (0)Just finished reading some threads/posts so I decided to go ahead and post my experience. Just a little over 8 months ago now, literally the day before my second daughter was delivered, my oldest boy came into my office/dining room (no jokes please) with a grin like the Grinch on his face. He wanted me to buy one of those digital filters. He always has me paying $50 for his wrestling WWF stuff and I've also been known to watch a good boxing match every once in a while. Long story short, I got one of those cable filters for my Motorola DVR box in the living room WITHOUT, telling the kids or the old lady ;). I still make the kids ask to order stuff but when the bill comes there's no sign of anything, heh. Every month I squeeze about 30 PPV's out of it without having to clear the memory on the box. If I only order like 20-25 ppvs in a month, then I don't need to clear the box because it clears on its own every 30 days. I figured if it didn't work I'd just get my money back since they have like a year guarantee or somethin like that (had to check my bookmarks www.cableboxfilters.com). BTW, does anyone know what the Cablecard slot does?. I've never seen anyone who used theirs and I don't understand what it would be used for. Is it for the cable guy when it's being installed or something? Thanks and God bless! L. MacArthur...See MoreHas Anyone Had an island 14 ft or longer and used only one slab?
Comments (21)Bookmatching happens when two slabs are cut in sequence, so the pattern is identical, then they are opened up like the facing pages of a book, and those are the surfaces that are finished, the surfaces that were originally together. So you get a mirror image of the pattern on each slab. Then you just lay out the two pieces of the template such that where the seam will be, the pattern matches up, vein for vein. It doesn't have to be an edge, but each piece of the template has to be placed in the corresponding location on the two slabs. I'm not explaining this very well. Do you sew? It's like matching stripes when you lay out a pattern. You can get chevron patterns when the veins are going diagonally up on one piece and down on the other, and they meet in a "V" formation....See Moreone more pillow for my chair. please :)
Comments (28)I sew pillows for a living - this is how to get the tapered corners and eliminate the "dog ear" pillows; Cut your square pillow as you normally would in whatever size you want. Measure from the corner tip along each side and mark the 1" mark and 2" mark with chalk or pins. Take a straight ruler (is there any other kind??) and draw a line from the two inch mark on one side to the 1" mark on the other side. Do the same with the other markings on the opposite side. You should now have a "x" just below the corner tip. This is your new sewing ling and your "dog ears" will disappear! I hope this helps!...See MoreKitchen photographer - anyone used one?
Comments (12)Are you in an area that has a Master Builders or Home Builders Association? Often times, they have a listing of subcontractos, suppliers and trades people that work in the industry. The lists may and sometimes do include other trades that rely on the homebuilders for their work, such as designers, realtors, advertisers and photographers. Or, you may call a few of the builders in your area and see if they can give you any recommendations. The cost will depend on what you want, how many shots, the way you want the finished product - digital or paper format, etc. The builder I work with most, has a photographer who sets up and does the shot for in the $200-600 range, provides digital files afterwards, however, we do all the "staging". GOOD LUCK! Sounds like a great idea! I look back at the photos and video of our previous home quite a bit! Brings back wonderful memories of all the hard work we did... Another idea, if your new home will be renovated also, hire the same photographer (maybe they will discount the second location) to take professional before pictures of the spaces you are going to work on - even if it's several years off. Who knows, you may want your project published someday!...See MoreUser
