Okay. I recently moved a pretty modest bunch of stuff. About a bedroom's worth. I've learned something. No matter how easy you make it, it's always easier to just save some money an...

Thanks for the comments. I went to West Elm this weekend and found a great sofa (88" Goodwin in mocha) for $1k. Thanks for steering me away from the Gallerie of Zee.

I know that this is a bit late Wingpea, but bolt cutters work best. Many wire strippers have holes in the middle for this purpose. They prevent the wire from flexing or bending when you apply pre...

Heh. I'm actually going to Z Gallerie tomorrow to shop for sofas. There are a few that I want to try out. Being on a strict budget sucks. $1700 isn't exactly an option.

Maybe I'm just cheap, but I find them to be on the pricey side. At least the really cool tiles.

OmniFocus here. I love it so, so much.

Bepsf, I'm not so concerned with the sound transmission from me. My neighbors don't care (nor do I usually even create noteworthy noise) and I'm not disrespectful, it's the transmission of the Toi...

That chair looks nice, but EXTREMELY uncomfortable.

I recently bought this piece. While it's got a fiberboard core, the laminate on the outside has a very realistic grain texture and it's solidly designed. April, I bite my thumb at you...

I recently built (or had built for me) a condo. I was assured by the builder that the foam insulation they were spraying in was impervious to sound waves. That I could crank my stereo and that my...

Johan posted great advice. I use a small wire nail to double check the stud finder. I tap in, hit wood, then tap in to either side to find the edges. You end up with a bunch of tiny holes, but t...

Since Level added the "zeroing" feature, it's far more useful. Also, Dynolicious is surprisingly accurate when properly set up. I'm pretty darn impressed with my little iPhone.

Read, use the laptop (both business and personal reasons, though I try to avoid working that close to bedtime), watch tv, and listen to my dog snore. Sex under optimal conditions, but ...

I think I *could* if I had to, but I've always had lots and lots of air conditioning, so I wouldn't say I've ever *needed to*, Bob.

I wanted to major in "Upper Crust Call Girl" in college but my mom wouldn't let me. - Jeremy

Totally. They had a great condo in Evanston, IL in a great neighborhood, wooden floors, lots of trees. For sure. I think William Petersen III (Grissom on CSI) is still living there t...

Those are great, Art. I have very subtle, small white spots throughout the house. I hope they don't look dated!

NHT has always had great looking speakers. My Def Tech BP30s are huge but slim and I doubt there's anything in the world that could camoflauge them. Fortunately, they're not entirely ...

SVEREMMII I believe I would be a wine cart.

Wow. I wanna do this. Right. Now.
