Yeah, I've heard that too, but critters get killed on the road all the time and new territories open up as such. I figure a relocation is preferable, even if they have to fight a bit to stake their claim. The alternative is the Winchester retirement plan.
I did a service call on a floor warming system in a 5000 square foot master bedroom suite. Houses that size are impressive but you need teams of service pesonnel around all the time. I prefer cozy.Good lord. I grew up in a 4000sqft home and couldn't ever imagine going back to something that large let alone 5600 + 5.5 garage. We're in a 2400sqft (finished) home w/ 1 car garage and I think we are on the same page about not wanting to live in a bigger house unless our family grows, but we are both open to having a bigger yard and garage. I do like your garage and all that open space for toys
A guy I grew up with owns his own pool maintenance company, so at least it would be set up right if we ever went that route.
My IKEA hate. Part 457967 looks like part 485693 until the thing is half finished. IKEA instructions are modified hieroglyphics. I'm not Egyptian.
For 5 years I worked as a horticulturist for clients in Rosedale, Forest Hill and the Bridlepath. Many of them had nannies quarters that were bigger than any house in this thread. Some had nannies for each kid plus cooks and drivers etc.
Is that an amx or a javelin?Fixing the posts on my building replacing the wood part in the ground with precast concrete puts made for this should last forever.

I liked the look of stamped concrete but I have never found a surface less suitable for its intended purpose. Everyone I have walked on has been incredibly slippery when wet (even dew). Sure you could mix up a batch of sealer and sand and apply a few times a year to maintain some grip but that is a lot of work for something that is theoretically maintenance free.
The most worrisome thing about concrete is that if you don't get the base right it cracks. Interlock goes with the flow.
True. I dislike that over a decade or so, all interlock I have seen goes with the flow too much. Not a big deal on a 4' wide path but most patios end up dished and fixing the dish is more work than the original install. Imo, that is a hell of a lot of money to pay to be on the maintenance treadmill. For something like a path, you can normally get away with a longer cycle as the ripples arent as noticeable or troublesome.
I was thinking AMC too. First time I took my wing to the strip it was AMC day. You never saw so many Gremlins in one place
Agreed. Stamped doesn't hold up well. I watched my neighbour have it done, then watched it deteriorate, and finally be replaced.
When our kids moved out we broke down and bought our first new couch (hand me downs up til then). But after slogging miles thru those big box stores filled with crap we went to Randell Klien Design in London and had exactly what we wanted custom built. We got to pick the design, cushion firmness and fabric. A large sectional and a matching chair cost about 3400$ if I recall. Probably twice what the brick or leons would have cost but 10 years later it's every bit as good as new. And it that ever changes it can be recovered.
I'm not understanding why it wouldn't hold up. It is concrete, and it's no thinner. We just require it for our front walkway which would be about 15-20ft long, average width walkway.
The ones I have seen held up. If I understand the process correctly, they sprinkle the surface with something that accelerates the set to trap the colours in. Normally you want it to set slowly not as quickly as possible.
