I echo hgenti's comment...that's exactly what I thought.

LG Kompressor...I bought the Luv300B. I love the cannister compressor...less emptying and less messy than all the other bagless vacuums I've used. And the built in wand is perfect for pet cleanup. It's wonderful.

Sheesh...get real. This is not an issue.

I'm in a similar situation...I like my apartment, but the building itself is not so great. It's just an old, unattractive building. But the area is tops, my neighbors are nice, and the managers are great. And my apartment has the largest balcony I have ever seen. I often go back and forth about whether to stay or leave, but so far I have yet to find a place (in my price range) that is attractive enough to make me move. There are a lot of factors to consider...sometimes it's worth overlooking some less than ideal cosmetics but other times, it could be disaster. Each situation is unique.

I can. My great-grandmother taught me how. It's definitely an art that is mastered only with practice and patience.

I agree with knoxkatie - while I see the interesting creativity in this idea, the thought of placing books in a fireplace incites anxiety. Books are just too precious to me.

For large loads of dishes, I think dishwashers are much more efficient than washing by hand, especially the newer machines. However, living by myself and usually cooking for one, it's more efficient, and convenient, for me to wash my dishes by hand. The dishwasher in my apartment is used to store my tupperware and oversized pots and pans.
