Trying to get my fire and ice ordered but need some help!
Comments (12)buehl: I also got really high prices locally. The best I found was $21/sq ft which included freight. That was contractor's pricing. I had two quotes at $28/sq ft!! So I gave up on buying it locally and used the sources that other GWers provided. And I don't have to pay sales tax, either. I would much prefer to buy it locally, but jeez, it's just way too expensive. When I do the 'store locator' thing on the Jeffrey Court website, I get the Florida Tile warehouse here in Denver. I called them, and they gave me a long list of local retailers. It seems in Denver, at least, the pricing is set by Florida Tile. My GC has an account with Florida Tile and he was given the $28 price (no discount) because it's a special order. He told me to buy it online....See MoreThe wedding wrap up post!
Comments (42)Reliving the event! I remember doing that after DS#1's wedding. Almost, and I really mean almost, as much fun as the actual day. Thank you so much for sharing all the pictures. What spectacular settings for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. Love the picture of the bride and groom with the barn in the background....See MoreChang's lettuce wraps were delightful, my first time to try.
Comments (27)The closest PF Changs to me is at the airport, but I won't be going to the airport to eat unless I am flying. I will look for it the next time I am at LAX, however. In Los Angeles County, the best Chinese restaurants are in Monterey Park, and the last one I went to gave us the bill written all in Chinese. Chinatown here has some mediocre restaurants, and so I don't go to them unless I am in Chinatown to pick someone up at the bus station. I do like Chinese food, and there used to be a good Szechuan restaurant down the street from me in Venice, and we went there often because it was walking distance - about two blocks. We have a much better selection of Japanese restaurants here than Chinese, as there is a large Japanese population on the West Side. We also have a lot of Japanese markets - much more than we have of Chinese markets. For Korean food, we go to Koreatown. When I lived in San Francisco, the worst Chinese restaurants were in Chinatown, as they catered to tourists, and the best were in the Avenues, around Clement Street. Where I grew up in Texas (Temple) there were good Chinese restaurants. The town was started by the Santa Fe Railroad and some Chinese workers stayed there after the railroad was built in 1881. Temple TX was a junction of the railroad from Houston, and one branch went north to Chicago and the other branch went west to Los Angeles. The Santa Fe Railroad also built a hospital in Temple....See MoreTrying to figure out an old house wiring circuit, need help.....
Comments (5)One way to tell whether a wire is actually hot, if you don't have a known ground wire in the box to reference it to, is to run a ground from somewhere else that IS a known ground. Like a water pipe (in the old house they should be copper but check to be sure), or a newer grounded outlet that you know is hooked up to actual ground. Having said that, I concur with the advice to call in a pro. This sounds pretty hinky. The procedure you described sounded like it should work, IF everything was as you thought, but apparently it was not....See Morel pinkmountain
