@Joan A: Yeah, that is NOT normal!!! Cheapest burr grinders will be about $30-$50, and I'd guess if you paid less than that, you probably were ripped off. I have one in that price ra...

So I have a cast iron skillet I'd never really used much, never seasoned it, etc. So 2 nights ago I went through this whole seasoning post and all went well. Only weird thing was the ...

$40? You can get a pre-made on Amazon for $50...

One tip I read and used: While they're being kept in separate rooms for the first week or so in the new house, put their food dishes on opposite sides of the same door. That way they (sort o...

I'd never heard of anyone owning a hammer drill until I couldn't get a masonry drill bit into my cement ceiling. They seemed so ridiculously intimidating - I mean, look at the NAME! Just screams ...

Uh... great=told in a way that made me LOL Not great that your dog was sick. Just in case it wasn't clear :)

@msjessiemeghan: That story was great, thanks :)

I did this in my apartment, and it looks fantastic (I already had conduit around the walls, since it's a converted loft, so it matches). It's such a simple and CHEAP solution. Even if...

These are really cool! I LOOOOVVVEE the first ones! Cannot afford though :( I currently have black vinyl blackout shades. Does anyone know whether it would be possible to get a patt...

I planned on coming to these comments to sheepishly ask about knife skills (since I sometimes feel like such a noob on here!) It makes me feel better to see so many others want the same!

This is one of the first times I've seen a big, open wall as the kitchen (as I have in my apartment). Even though I don't own, I still like to fantasize about what I might do if I could ever buy m...

Well I'm super-late to the comments here, but I thought the bright bedrooms needed some more compliments. Like Megnez, I love warm colors in my bedroom, which helps me to sleep. I hav...

I have one brick wall in my bedroom and love it. But I've always loved brick walls (they're on two sides of my apartment). Brick lovers unite!!!! I wanted to say, I almost never like...

Ha ha, it's always funny to see a problem that you've been struggling to solve for a long time! My armless couch doesn't give the couch arm option, and my cats consider the pile of thr...
