Garden DVDs at Your Local Library
Comments (1)I work at my local library, and it really is amazing what one can get there. So many people are not aware of what a library offers nowadays, still thinking only of books. My library itself doesn't have a large selection of gardening DVDs (although we do have some Chihuly DVDs!) but we have a large selection of books and magazines, and also, as Mindy says, we can request items from other libraries. However, we can only request from libraries in-state. We can't get items from out-of-state libraries. But everyone should definitely look into her/his local library. Lots of good stuff! :) Dee...See Moresigh getting so frustrated trying to get hardwood for the bedroom
Comments (3)If the installer isn't comfortable with doing what you want, they're not likely to change their mind. Find another contractor and tell them you won't hold them responsible for adhesion failure. I've been told to be wary of Gypcrete but an old client of mine bought a house with engineered plank glued directly to Gypcrete. When he wanted to add wood in the bedrooms, I duplicated what was there with no problem. I did inform him that it wasn't recommended and that I couldn't assume the risk if it failed. Engineered flooring shouldn't move enough to pull the Gypcrete apart but it would be a good idea to do a bond test. That said, I see no reason why floating cork wouldn't work. It would be better to use the squares than the rolls. I also see no reason why you couldn't glue down the cork and float the wood except that it may not provide the same relief from stress at the joints as a foam underlayment, if the subfloor is a little uneven. It might not be a bad idea to roll on a coat of something like contact cement or flat trowel a layer of adhesive as a primer. I'm pretty risk averse but I'd have little reservation about doing this....See MorePlan on shopping locally, but I'm getting frustrated..
Comments (7)I figure that as long as most of the items I purchase are made somewhere in the USA by some type of US based store, whether it's online or not, that's good enough. I consider "local" to be my tiny town, but there are NO appliance stores within its boundaries. I don't care about supporting the suburb fifteen miles away any more than I care about supporting the economy in California, which is where I purchased my appliances (I live in Michigan). Put another way, I don't see the difference about helping people who live a little bit closer to me than those who live farther away. However, if I could buy a particular item in my hometown for a good price, I would. What I do care about is trying to buy American in America. That's local enough for me, I guess....See MoreI'm a frustrated idiot! Getting my Amazon music onto ipod ?
Comments (28)A bit late to this, but did you try calling the iPod tech support number yet? I did that when I got my new iPod (shuffle) & the young man was very nice & helpful; did a shared desktop screen while on the phone as well, where he showed me w/ pointers what to do & what to click. (side note: I believe new devices from Mac are just not as intuitive as they once were. I never had to get help w/ my old iPod) Do you know how to make a screenshot? Showing what your screen looks can be helpful for stuff like this. You should be able to do a search of your computer for the iTunes folder, shouldn't you? When I've purchased Amazon MP3s, I simply dragged them into the iTunes icon on the desktop(dock) & then drag those files into the iPod - which shows up in the sidebar of the iTunes screen. I'm on iMac, tho - no experience how the Windows version of this works... FWIW, HTH...See MoreZalco/bring back Sophie!
