Problems with neighbors - should we respond to letter?
Comments (78)That's so cool, ml. I'm sure you have a long list of fantastic stories and memories from the race. What fun ... combined with a lot of work I would think. My husband just earned ASA 101-104 certification in the BVI a couple weeks ago, so we're looking forward to a little sailing this summer and in the BVI next winter with friends who also took the course. We're only experienced in power boating, so this will be a new adventure for us. He's interested in a Hobie Wave or a similar small cat so we can practice right from the beach....See MoreFlaky pool builder!
Comments (6)The company that my pool company used was called Pebble Finish. Me thinking it was the company Pebble Tec. They still did a nice job but, they didn't do the best job at blending the sandy beach with Tahoe Blue. You can't tell when the water fall is running out of the spa but, I'm pretty sure they had never done 2 colors together, just by the look of my pool. Plus my pool is the only one with that blend on their site. They had put a couple of holes in the beach with their spiked shoes. Took them over a week to come back and pick up their truck that was full of the aftermatch of pebble sheen. You'll see the white truck in the background of the picture. That was only day 1 of the truck being there. I told them they couldn't have their truck (not that I wanted it) back until they repaired the holes. I just looked them up on the web and found my pool on their site. If you go to pebblefinish.com, click on menu and then Sandy Beach and Tahoe Blue, that is my pool. I will post pictures soon....as soon as I figure out how to do it. The yard around the pool is pretty plain in those pictures....See MoreCraftsman garage door opener - doesn't respond to remotes
Comments (1)"the radio portion of the logic board is dead/not working? " The radio receiver in the opener has probbaly failed. They are not all that well made and dampness can slowly kill them (price is king).

Comments (17)Many cost plus contracts allow owner supplied—and builder approved—-materials. However, almost none will remove the markup for that. The materials choices are too integrated into the work scheduling and oversight. They need the builder’s involvement, even if it’s a quick glance at the specs to say it will physically work. The only exceptions are sometimes standard appliances, if the owner assumes all responsibility for scheduling, delivery, storage, and install. If the appliances are anything other than a standard 30” freestanding range, or standard washing machines, and they require precise placement for gas and electrical, or built in enclosures, then the builder has to be involved. He earns his markup. In a cost plus contract, the suppliers discounts are passed to the homeowner. So even with his markup, you may find that it’s still cheaper than retail to go through and choose products from the suppliers rather than strike off into the internet....See Morecpartist
