The plug at the feet makes no sense. If you go to the trouble of plugging the board... why not have the plug for the iron up at the top. I have a special outlet at my home...it's up high and made...

That's cool...not sure how they got around building and fire codes. What kind of a draft does it get in a Boston winter?

Pretty easy. The TV is a dead giveaway, the color pallette is clearly 90s. The legs of the couch and the stairs say it's at least 1990s. The kitchen cabinet in the distance. Cool ...

I agree with the post by smoothsailing. I looks like the owner's personal store! I was originally thinking it looked like a TGI Friday's back when they used to have more knick knacks in their rest...

Looks horrible. What's the point of this post? Here's the Q: Would it look better without the micro? Answer: Yes, absolutely. Do you want to look at a microwave while you eat?!

This ridiculous video was made fun of on the Daily Show. Not exactly the way we can make enviromentalism accessible to the masses.

The entry states... "this Portland hotel (or motel, depending on the reviews)" -- That does not make sense. Something is either a hotel OR a motel. The word motel comes from the words motor and h...

The problem with the roman blinds on teh front door is that they look crappy on the other side, no?

Very problematic. Is the storage always supposed to be "out" or "in"? If it is always "in" you then eliminate useable counter space. You walk in with groceries or flowers or mail... how do you p...

Heather... now that's a steal. I know the Eames desk is like $2K at DWR but that's why its Design WITHIN Reach and NOT Design IN Reach... :-) It's within reach if your stop spending...

When did our "scavenger" section get so damn expensive. I don't think I've seen a deal on here in a while.

Rathchet set with all the fixins! Make sure it has metric and western and the hex keys. This will all be key if you assemble IKEA. The better you assemble it the better it looks and the longer i...

Wow! Square foot gardening. I did this as a young teen in Florida in the 1990s. It sure was fun. I had two beds. I have the book. Like the other commenter said... its expensive. Do it for fun...

So emphasis on concept. It's just an art project. Not an actual web app yet.

The side table is an IKEA TV stand!!!! I used to have that stand. The one in the photo was INCORRECTLY assembled... that's why you can see the two black circles on the outside. IKEA is awesome bu...

Wow what a dumb move. Really extreme. Like others have said... there are more efficient ways to burn wood. No need to eliminate the fireplace. Some fireplaces are immensely efficient. There ar...

Take the cash. A lot of the SF real estate blogs say the house is not near the "$2.4" it is advertised for. The winners of a similar raffle in Marin couldn't afford the property tax...

The top one in the first photo is for neck ties, not belts.

2.5 to the buyer's agent? Isn't that an entire percentage point below market? I thought buyer's agents split the commission to 3.5. Is that a NY thing?

Yeah green water is not good at all. Rather gross really. Over time it might just be cheaper to get a used but proper hot tub.
