The serif font and size in the body copy is really really hard on my eyes and jarring to read. Centered headline fonts are also jarring to read. Overall, the flow of reading the articles isn't as smooth as it was with the previous font combination (I actually find myself getting a headache!). I used to browse AT daily and quite often during the week, but it's now so hard to read that I won't be coming here like I used to. I also used to visit The Kitchn several times a day but I won't be doing that either for the same reasons. I do love the photos, though--you guys always have a good selection and size of photos.

The san-serif fonts are killing my eyes---in graphic design school we learned that serif'd fonts are better for reading body copy and easier on the eyes---I'm not coming to this site as often because of this and I've skipped going to the main AT site all together (I usually go to both this and the main AT site several times a day). The font is really really big, too and the centered headlines are awkward to read. Photos look good, though...

YAY!!!

And for those of us who are *extremely* anal retentive... we can print out a hard copy for our cook book binders (you all have one, right?) and a PDF so we can keyword search on our computers (you all do this too, right?).

Wow, this article (and some of the comments) sure seems to be a negative slam on contractors. Perhaps there should be a counter-article written on the piss-poor researching of licensed, recommended contractors on the part of the homeowner who's probably trying to save a few bucks by hiring on the cheap and/or under the table. You get what you pay for. Do your research.

Thank you so much for the article. I have severe time-management anxiety. However, I'm lucky to have an oven, a microwave and a toaster oven that acts as a convection oven as well, so I think I'm covered!

Not fond of this article... sounds too much like a personal journal entry rather than a professional foodie blog piece.

Ha! What is this "sweeping" "mopping" you speak of?

Last night we swept the kitchen and gathered up enough cat hair to knit another cat....

If he knows there is gas leaking from the faucet, why in the world is he holding a lighter full of fluid? He could blow his hand off. Why didn't he use a match? Looks fishy...

No need to purchase a new lampshade...just hot glue some long fringe around the bottom of the existing shade and VOILA!
