From what I have experienced, in a kerfed edge, they actually cut a kerf (groove) into the window/door jamb. There is then a trim piece that inserts into the kerf and the drywaller will mud to the jamb. It is a nice, clean and very modern look. Then there is a plain drywall return where drywall just butts against the window and you don't have a full width wood jamb.

I had to look up dyson animal handheld stick vacuum, never heard of it. Why is it called animal? I think I have a better plan. My dining room rug has always bugged me a bit because it is not long enough for the chairs on the length when someone is sitting on them the back legs end up on the wood floor, so I think I might just look for an 8x10, the one there now is 7x9, for the dining room and put the dining room one in the bedroom. DH will probably have a fit, we (actually I) seem to be spending quite a bit of money on this house to make it our own but you do what you gotta do to make it feel right!

I have used pet febreeze on occasion but spray it outside and let it stay out there awhile before I bring it back in the house. I don't really like to use sprays though. I have two of the smelliest dogs on the planet. We have a pool and after they swim, one smells like farts and the other like stale beer. They smell like the day after a frat party :)

I was a total rink rat when I was a kid. I won my first transistor radio (first place ladies all ages) in a speed skating contest for the public. I think I must have been around 11. Because I won most of the races I had to start back at the wall instead of the starting line along with a couple of older girls that were in speed club. My older brother worked as a floor guard and in the summer I would go with him to open up and stay all day when I didn't have a competition. Sunday was club day and we had classes and practice. Then private lessons after school during the week. Friday nights there was a sock hop after the last session. So much fun and all the rink romances . LOL The manager's daughter and I were friends and we both got puppies at around the same time. We would bring them to the rink with us and they'd run around with us while we skated until the rink opened for the public.
