you may have to combine several things - foam strips, door sweeps - your door may be slightly warped - on one of mine, I had to pare down a foam strip to an angle to make it fit across the floor tightly

As a good rule of thumb, winterize before Halloween in the north

the double fireplace is a great look but with only a half-wall, are you planning on building a chimney as well, or using a gas?

I agree - no matter what brand you use, you have to go with two coats to get the look you want - I like Behr and Sherwin Williams -

I use rubbermaid chests and closets I bought at Lowe's - quite reasonable, everything has a place and everything stays dry.

I think the Carolla show premieres next week, but I am not sure - I don't really care for his style of humor (he seems to go out of his way to grate) -but I do recall fondly the utterly politically incorrect "Man Show"

I would be interested in finding any additional material as well, beyond bank lists and 800#s of people wanting to sell you the list they compiled.

From everything I have ever heard from cops, etc..., the sign alone is the best deterrent to burglars. As for fire and carbon monoxide, that is a different matter.

Gun, knives, dogs, and the ADT sign that a neighbor gave me when he moved - the sign can do as much good as anything else - rocket launchers and land mines are probably over the top, tho.

Thanks - will check the website out - how much did you end up paying per linear foot, if I may?

Will this work on repairing foundations, or just outside support walls?

Classy1 - what do you mean about the plexiglas sheeting? Is this a kind of build-your-own storm window trick?

Good point, classy - and while kerosene heaters give reasonable radiant warmth, unless the room is quite small they never really deliver the heat where you want it - a good space heater is the way to go.

What do we all think about prefab housing - has anyone looked at the Roscia Romero steel houses? They are pricey, but at least from the catalogues, they are amazing. Has anyone seen anything comparable?

Are they really worth it, tho? I slept on one a while back at my brother's house and didn't sleep a wink.

I broke the copper tubing on a refrigerator and released all the freon - the repairman ended up charing me 300 bucks to fix the tube and replace the refrigerant - did I get ripped off? The fridge itself was older model, but state of the art when new and hadn't seen use for the last several years.

Does anyone watch Debbie Travis's *Painted House* or *Face Lift* - of all of them, I think she is the most genuinely talented. Her "Ice House* show was a classic!

Does anyone have experience with installing the new heavy security doors with oversized locks? I have an extremely vulnerable front door and I don't want a normal security door. I am looking for something very large and heavy, basically battering-ram proof.

Has anyone here installed real granite countertops - my wife wants them and I am wondering what I might be getting into.
