I replaced one of those walls recently.They had a party, some drunk fell over trying to grab the stripper, hit the wall, the aluminum stays buckled and the whole wall was shit.The bamboo Im laying is the lighter one, horizontal grain. Ya shoulda talked to me I coulda got you the carbonized for much cheaper, maybe cheap enough for you to afford with all the other upgrades.The first place to look for building shit when you do expensive shit like floors is build direct dot com. It can be a week to 6 to get the material and shipping can be a bitch pending your zip coe but it still would of saved me alot of money to do it that way. I found a local place that had it for 5 cents more a square foot and bought it there instead.It may well be best to be around when contractors are working in your house, its just a real bitch to be in the middle of the mess trying to have a life and cook and keep dust out of tvs computers and all. On a side note, well maybe its aside note to a side note, are all people in florida stupid?I wa at true value yesterday getitng some supplies and the cashier ove here from florida a month ago, she was confused about how long it takes to get to teh beach and where it was exactly, I tried explainig we are a land locked state, she didnt seem to get it, I told her about the great salt lake beach, not the same I know but its all there is here aside from fresh water lakes, She couldnt grasp the directions i gave her that were "turn right out of this parking lot, follow the road till you see the big russian style palace on the side of the freeway, thats saltair, exit there, make a left, go 1/2 mile and park."She kept asking what way right was, even saying that it was north didnt help her. I really hope she doesnt represent the average floridian. Iswear to fuck, If I moved someplace I think I would of looked at a map with in the first month of living there.She had been from south beach, moved here to get away from the crime. I couldnt belive she had been here a month and not been to salt lake city, its only 20 minutes away and the only source for alot of shit that you cant buy here in town. She didnt even know where it was.

On a side note, well maybe its aside note to a side note, are all people in florida stupid?Yes. If you watch the news, it's pretty obvious.> She kept asking what way right was, even saying that it was north didnt help her.Folks here get someone from a smart state, like Mississippi, to take a marker and put a big L on top of their left hand, and a big R on top of their right hand. No one here actually understands to concept of the cardinal directions, but I am expecting a breakthrough within a year (Governor Bush has implemented the No Child Left Behind Because He Is Lost program in the secondary schools). Back when I was in high school, I once hear about "west", but I couldn't understand what it was all about.> She had been from south beach, moved here to get away from the crime.Mainly stolen bicycles and fraudulent building contractors.Why would someone from this tropical paradise that has warmer sea water than San Diego (by far) move to You Tahr?My flooring cost $5.95/sf, which seemed more or less in the ballpark for the alleged quality of the flooring I got. The slate tile (Zeera Green quartzite, actuallly) I'm getting for the kitchen and bathrooms is the same price, minus 10%. (I got a really good deal on Toto toilets from HomeClick.com...I also had to buy a door for the dishwasher...sold separately...$300...stainless steel. No one makes toilets like the Japanese do. Toto makes that super amazing toilet with the power seat that washes you from the front and/or back while you're sitting on it.

Wally, I know, I know. I thought there was a layer of adhesive stuck to the floor that I couldn't get off. I thought that the solvent in WD-40 might dissolve the adhesive. It turned out that a strip of the top part of the complex laminate sandwich came off with the tape. (The fact that paint thinner didn't have any effect should have clued me in. I have a can of no-stink paint thinner...those wiley chemical engineers.)I don't think there's any way to get the damaged boards to really look good. The boards involved will have to be replaced. The floor will have to be disassembled from the edge (it's glueless tongue-and-groove) so that the bad boards can be pulled. I don't think the bad stuff can just be sawed out without the fix looking obvious.

Hey, the fact she moved here from there should tell you she wasnt really bright, the fact that she is a cashier in a true value hardware store tells you that she has no real work skills to speak of or she would be working in another field.I have no idea what life is like in south beach, I took her word for it. That crack about hiring smart people from ississippi that nearly made me pee my pants with laughter.Im working, saving money, busting my ass to get out of this state and move to the coast, be it west, north west actually and not to Florida, I cant understand anyone wanting to come here where the Utah state tax commision is your only source for booze and its triple priced any place else, where the people next door watch you like a hawk to make sure what you do so they can bitch about you in church, where missionaries knock on the door constantly wanting to speak to you about "The Other" testiment of jesus christ, where labor laws make it possible to pay employees less then half of what they would earn anyplace else.I cant figure out what she was thinking unless shes undercover hiding from warrentsf of arrest, even then I can think of better places to be. Any place you dont get to get up an hour before normal so you can shovel snow 12 inches deep atleat once a week for 6 months of the year so you can drive to an underpaying shitty job and your lucky if you get 3 months a year you can ride the bike.The fishing and hunting here has been fucked up by the state game commison, over hunted, over fished, over popularized, the wilderness I so loved has turned to shit in most places as they find a way to pass out more and more permits an charge you to get bear it and it become more an more popuar to back pack in and leave a fucking huge ass mess for the next guy to clean up so that he can stand to spend a few days there in the mountain air, wonering wht damage the fuckhead before him did and what garbage smells will bring bears on what night.Honestly I cant wait to get my ass out of here, another 11 months for the fiance to finish her college, after that its no holds barred for breaking the fuck out of here. I cant imagine why anyone would move here on purpose. EDIT: I nearly forgot, teh kitchen sounds fucking gorgeous, Now iM jealous of your kitchen, and the fact your not stuck here in Utah with me, On the other hand, you do have govener dumb ass runnig the state, but with ten minutes of research I think its safe to say that about any state in the union.

> Are you ready to bake cookies yet?
The cabinets are supposed to arrive around the 16th, and the appliances come Friday the 18th. I won't have the induction cooktop installed for a while (since I'll need to get a counter first), but I'll have a JennAir convection wall oven achin' for a bakin'...if I can get the electrician to show up again to wire it in.
I'll let the contractor figure out how to fix the floor...if I think about it any more I'm going to blow a gasket, or do a Mr. Creosote.
g> I nearly forgot, teh kitchen sounds fucking gorgeous
Well, we got the Zeera Green "slate" floor, the Decora dark-ish maple cabinets, a countertop T.B.D. (although this stuff looks interesting, maybe Franke sink, disposal, wather filter/heater hot/cold tap, a Liebherr fridge, and a skinny Bosch dishwasher (they make the best diswashers, although not the best other stuff). The fridge is counter-depth, but it's over 80" tall. You have to brace it at the top so it doesn't fall on you if everything shifts to the front. Oh yeah, and some kind of backsplash.
I was hanging out on the GardenWeb forum, where people are very polite, and obsessed with appliances and flooring and counters and plumbing and sinks...

In reply to: I don't think anybody anywhere knows anything except maybe 3 or 4 people somewhere out in Utah.No man, No, NOf, there is no intelligent life in Utah, your theory is shot to shit and blown out of the water, I dont know where intelligent life is, but it for damned sure isnt here.
-
And thus we have demonstrated that Florida is Utah, plus alligators, minus ski lifts, plus Cubans, minus Mormons.
-
You got cubans, we got mexicans, both are brown and speak spanish, so I think we are even. As a local, I cant afford to ski here very damned often so they can stick thier ski lifts.I saw a guy near Knottsberry farm wrestling aligators, He seemed to do pretty alright at it too. here I got pairs of the mormons knocking onmy door harrassing me, its easier to fight one gator then two missionaries, Ill trade you all the gators for all the missionaries, we can create two new states Floritah and Utadia.
-
Well, Im in Utah, I consider myself to be above the average intelligence of the rest of the state, Most people consider me an idiot, whats that tell you ?
They aint in Utah.f -
Yer I got one of those messages the other day. Some guy was like "wanna wank" so I linked him to some of the most vile and fucked up shock sites on the internet. I dont think he was probrably as turned on after seeing some chick getting shit on or a guy beating his cock on a table with a hammer to cant touch this "stop hammer time!" the next one who messages me is gunna get a bit of goatse fun. Lest see if they like a guy who stretches his pooper so wide he could probrably put a bowling ball up it. Sometimes I wish those people who message me on here with that "wanna wank" shit would hunt me down in real life so I could kick the shit into them, I hate them pasionatly.

Everything serves a purpose. Mississippi needs something to make fun of.

Crude...But effective. I like it!
-
Yeah I didnt have him replying after I sent that so it is very effective. In a way I was kinda disapointed he didnt reply, I would have loved to take the piss out of him.

I just walked by a Lincoln Navigator with Florida registration HI BOOTY. The point goes to gk.
