Our fastest and most efficient vaccine sites is the one run by the National guard. My sister lives in the suburbs of Chicago and said the same thing.

I had a unexpected half sister from England.

Glad you are still making great progress. We made 550 from the sale. Also made another 200 selling furniture items online. We also have been putting...

Ours is 1400 sq ft with a average size yard. It was built in 1950 and the neighborhood is very much in demand. We got 400k. I love the neighborhood...

Casaverde does look like a good combo for co-housing. I wanted to see what the sale price or rent might be but neither is available at this time....

THe issue with those is you'll still have to clear snow, shake off rain, potential for hail damage etc.......with the more rigid "carport" idea, none...

A lot depends on whether the opening is a stock size. For a standard dishwasher, it should be 24". So you could look for a base cabinet that would...

Pictures.

I am thinking refacing would not work for me because I have a big gap I want to fill in with a cabinet. When the dishwasher broke I removed it and...

My cabinets were an unappealing darker than I cared for wood and hard to clean so years ago I painted them to match one of the colors in the floor....

I think most of us value our privacy too much these days to live for any length of time with others. It is indeed very hard to find a small house...

Yeah, I haven't bought IKEA kitchen cabinets, but I'm a longtime fan of IKEA and have bought everything there from couches to to lamps to magnetic...

DH has installed a few Ikea kitchens and he thinks they are decent quality cabinets. I’ll never forget that in the days before we had an IKEA here...

Our Case 1: We refaced the cabinets in our kitchen. The layout was fine (except the kitchen could be bigger so we could have more cabinets; it's...

One of the cabinets has an uneven shelf inside, the others are fine except for the doors. Thank you for the suggestion. I will keep refacing in mind.

Razz, the Villages is just a huge planned community. 90% Republican and proud of it. Life centers around trying to be like everyone else and other...

In addition to good maintenance, I suggest being a prudent driver - easy on the gas, easy on the breaks, no crazy high speeds, etc. I drive like what...

I did it because I just have an aversion to sending perfectly good things to the landfill. My 1970 cabinet boxes were solid wood. So I tried to save...

The Niro is a hybrid. Definitely does not make things simpler. Personally, I've found most terrestrial radio around here so disappointing I...

What Alan said. I have iCloud backup and perform two local backups of my phone (I don't have a tablet) regularly, to my laptop and to an off-site...

It could be an effortless transition for him. Actually Colorado Springs is a very pretty place with some nice areas and some bad, with plenty of...

IL, I plan to ask them to show me their lower price offerings and to bring in measurements. I do not need granite or anything fancy. I would think...

Catherine, all new doors on the cabinets is an interesting idea. That is my biggest problem with the cabinets. The doors won't stay on. They have...

Jeppy, there is such a range of kitchen cabinet prices that I don’t know anyone’s answers here will help you. If you walk in to a kitchen place...

Funny you should say that. My brother-in-law is moving from So Cal to Colorado Springs in a couple of months. He says it’s getting too difficult for...

Around here if a person is shopping for a smaller home, say 1400 sq ft, single story, with a decent sized yard, not built right next to one another,...

Case #1: I did a kitchen re-face once. I had doors and drawer fronts removed and replaced, and I also asked them to remove a set of very unfunctional...

I have a couple of crunchy relatives but I don't think they're into communal living--and I'm certainly not. I agree they're a more agreeable bunch...

You’re probably right. I wish I had held on to some of my old lunch boxes and comic books. And my Microsoft stock. And my Pinto. Maybe someday the...

Inching along. Did 30 minutes on Friday. New total: 26.

Several months ago my county discovered it had been shorted a great deal on the distribution compared to other counties in the state. Some kind of...

omg the day .i pay $482,000 to live with a bunch of touchy feely wackos is the day you will KNOW I am out of my head. Here, $482,000 is a...

Jesus H C, yes! what value the feds can bring to this process is not clear to me.

The average home price in the Denver metro area is about $500K. Mostly neither here nor there, but beyond my comprehension and my middle class 50's...

See, here is an inconvenient truth: your house, your rules. Define the boundaries. He is crossing any reasonable set of boundaries on the...

I wish the approach were more local not less. Trying to force most people to drive far from home to a mass vaccination not once but twice for a two...

Now that I have got a new car (iteration #2 is fine so far) I want to get back to the house. I have the Massachusetts holiday Patriots Day off and...

From a logistical standpoint, doesn't that make sense? I would think it takes a lot of local organization to secure locations and personnel to...

I don't mind crunchy granola really, I like counter-cultural. And hippies seeking status is an oxymoron. It's people trying to climb the corporate...

The problem with the vaccine distribution seems to be that it's been made way more complicated than need be. The federal government dumped most of...

there are so many smart alec things I can say in response to this idea abput Nanny G and her mysterious ways, but there’s really no point of that. ...

Walgreens says they don't have anything in my state.

That does sound like a lovely spot.

Bae's idea would be good but I need an extensive walkable community, ready access to commercial suppliers of groceries, personal services, etc. ...

IL, the planned community you describe sounds like Habersham in Beaufort--basically it's faux Charleston on a marsh. https://habershamsc.com/

yes. Lots of them born on the wrong side of the blanket, lots of royal bastards.

Be careful, if you live long enough your standard house well may become an object worth preservation fervor. 1960’s ranches are all the rage and...

I imagine crunchy granola people to welcome diversity. Of course it is only diversity that can afford to buy into that planned community at $482,000....

We like to make fun of the planned community “New Town” out in the suburban hinterlands. They build faux Victorians. They actually used as their...

I hear you! Try this link and put in your zip code and see if Walgreens has any near you: ...

Were the Stuarts/Stewarts particularly prolific? There seem to be a lot of us.

Funny to read these stories of another's genealogy via DNA testing. Never having been inclined to check it out, it is interesting how the results...

I don't mind so much the crunchy granola stereotype as long as it doesn't get too touchy feely hippie dippy. Community drum ceremonies are probably...

I agree on both counts. I wouldn’t want any portion of my life determined by a committee of later day hippies seeking affiliation and status. I...

That's why I chose editing; if I were paid by the word, I'd starve to death.

From absolute rulers to overbred show dogs over the course of a few centuries. I do like some of the things Philip said over the years. When some...

It should not be this complicated if the government really wants us all to get vaccinated.

When I was looking for an appointment I found the bay area vaccine hunters group on facebook to be incredibly helpful. Among other things someone on...

yes...you said it in a few words, I took paragraphs to say it. people who like people are not my kind of people and I do not want to live with...

I would be open to co-housing, provided that the communication among residents was compassionate and non-violent... rather than "a living hell". ...
