This seems like a great idea, in theory. But that net looks like a very fine mesh and would really only let through fine particles of dirt. All of the other, bigger, grosser crap would stay behind,...

They are easier to use around trim, they have a different (smoother) surface texture than most standard rollers, and they are much lighter. But I agree with 2lastnames: for big open areas, use a re...

FYI, for those in or around Baltimore, there is The Loading Dock. Very similar to this (there is a small membership fee), basically a warehouse full of reclaimed construction materials, appliances,...

I would definitely put this in my sons' room. The brown/green combo would go perfectly with their freshly painted redo, and they need a chair!

Oh, I have loved this since the moment I laid eyes on it long ago, but they are way out of line pricing it that high. Definitely could be done with thrifted belts, and you can use a much less price...

This is good to hear. What will be truly revolutionary, though, is when people stop relying on new construction, buy up existing housing, and renovate instead (if necessary). It is frustrating, bei...

Normally, I would agree that the whole "rented by Argentinians" thing would be odd except if you read the article. The fact that they are Argentinian is actually of significant focus in the piece b...

Erica- All my years in school and it never occurred to me that a quart referred to quarter of a gallon....duh

GothamTomato: Really, let's be honest. Almost no one can afford to have kids, but people do anyway, and make the best life they can. In my experience, kids require far less than people imagin...

"Every-man" is not such a good word choice for this site, sorry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyman I did not have any doorstops i...

My favorite are my mini ceramic loaf pans I got from the drug store for a dollar each. They are beautiful pastel shades of blue and green and remind me of the ones my grandmother used when I was yo...

It's never great when a city is divided by color, but show me one that isn't. Integration has to be very gradual and natural. When the city or developers/investors force it by buying people out of ...

I understand the complaints, but I think we have gone a little too far in just throwing away perfectly good buildings, particularly those that hold history in this country. This building has been s...

Ah, good to see some coverage of my old hometown. There are some truly great places in this city and a lot of history. I look forward to some house tours soon, hopefully? And three cup...

mariamercedes, make sure the container is very large for tomato plants. They will get very big if you give them enough room. Also, blood meal is an excellent fertilizer for tomato plants- they will...

Look, I agree that destroying people's property is a no-no, particularly with poorly done tags, but a good majority of graffiti artists are working places that have been abandoned and neglected and...

Back when I was living in an area that had them, I worked for a Kroger's, in the bakery dept. I must agree that they are not the most wonderful of employers. Though I loved my job decorating cakes ...

I would definitely pick first thing in the morning on a weekday. At least in my neck of the woods, since there are no 24 hr. stores, late night is a hellish time full of cashiers counting the minut...

Definitely raspberry scones and cucumber and dill sandwiches. Throwback to tea at the hotel with my mother when I was small.....

I must agree...do not put the baby in the closet, no matter how large that space may seem now. Especially as they get older, babies make all sorts of mess in their cribs that must be aired out. It ...
