Super ghetto? That's truly judgemental and not what I was seeking in my initial post. I'm not looking into changing in interior window coverings.

I like the diffused light of the inside rollers. Just need something at certain times of the day to block the light and sun.

Has anyone installed something similar to the photo below? We have light diffusing roller blinds inside and are beautiful, but cause a glare on our TV and still let's in a lot of heat. Hoping to get exterior roller shades to help with heat and glare inside. I attached a photo of my windows...

Has anyone bought a durable, leather sectional from Macy's?   I have my eye on the Maida 3 piece https://www.macys.com/shop/product/maida-3-pc.-leather-sectional-with-sofa-loveseat?ID=6282665&experience=responsive&pdpserver= .  Checked out it at South Coast (looked great).  However,  it has...

Yes and no.  The standards have changed, and so have our grading practices.  However,  the letter grades have always started at 4th grade for the reasons I posted above.

Letter grades start in 3rd grade. K-3 education focuses on basic skills and progress towards lower elementary standards. M - mastery towards specific standards (this is measured objectively - talk to your teacher about what the markers are) P- progressing (we expect all our students to be at a...

Hi all, Our refrigerator has been kept off in storage for a 18 months while we were living in a rental.  Now,  we're planning to use this fridge again in our new home.  I'm worried about possible mold issues with the water lines, housing, and/or dispenser.  Any ideas on how to clean or...

Venetian's website mentions 4" baseboards included in price. http://www.venetianflooringsystem.com/customer_support2.php

$9 sqft was everything..  demo, materials,  labor, baseboards

Awesome!  Great choice - lovely hue.  Which contractor did you use for your flooring?  And how much did you pay per sqft?

What is the typical range for hardwood floor installation/materials?  I have a meeting with a few contractors this weekend, and I would like to have a range in mind.  I understand this is going to be a broad range, because of the various types of flooring out there.  In my last home, we paid...
