I stopped at my mechanic today and he said the springs aren't the problem, it's just too light in the rear. I have the extended cab, but I also have the full length bed with nothing in it. He said before I try the sandbags, bring the tire pressure down to 25. If that doesn't work, try the sandbags. I live in Florida, so snow and ice aren't the problem, but those sudden showers are. My Camaro Z28 had more traction in the snow than this truck does in a drizzle!lol Also, it's legal here to put people in the back of a pickup, so I think the sandbags will be ok, but I won't try the cement blocks. I looked up reviews on this model and there's a lot of people that say it's a bad fishtailer in the rain. Plus, it's a "girl" truck! I keep the bed clean, no toolbox or junk in it to weigh it down!lol I bought it because the height of the seats is great for getting in and out of with my bad back. Also great for plant shopping. Gary, the Dodge Durango is the Dakota with a cover to it, so you know what I mean. It has good Cooper tires on it and I read of one guy who tried 3 different brands and it still fishtailed. Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know how the tire pressure thing works. At least we're going into the dry season here. Julie

I can't really figure out a way to make the other bathroom (on the right side of the house) any better. I did switch it around to eliminate the problem with the linen closet door opening into the bedroom doors. The width between the tub and the counter is 5' and the distance between the wall with the door and the back wall is 6'7". Do you think that is enough space? We had a bathroom in our last house that was set up this exact same way and I think the distance between the tub and vanity was actually a bit smaller than 5' and it seemed fine. The door is 2'6". Should I take it down to 2'4"?

We have had two closet systems installed Closets by Design. Both times we had positive experiences with the install; just be clear whether you want it to be notched in the back for baseboard, in my opinion it looks better to remove your baseboard so it’s not notched. It’s also worth it to add the baseboard and crown, and increase the height of the system to the ceiling. The salespeople do have a “poor mentality” to make sure they get the sale so you really have to push to add these extras. We are pretty handy, so the third closet system we did ourselves using Menard’s Dakota system for a third of the cost or less. It looks as nice and sturdy the rest.

it's warm enough here. at night (or very early am) to take dog out I usually need a sweater or cape tho. I keep a furry cape by the back door. during the day, I can wear a t shirt and shorts. I've only worn shorts once this spring so far.
