    We recently renovated flooring/kitchen. Found the installer (SunCoast tiling) via Yelp. Had good reviews and experience for wood like tile. We are happy with the end result. Got the tile and grout from Arizona Tile. Installer provided rest of material.

    Tech Desk Recomendation ....

    Recently had a desk made out of IKEA's Ekbacken countertop. Turned out well. Spent about $225 on material. Got 3 countertop pieces. Used one of them for the desk top, and the other 2 for the legs. Forgot to include the IKEA cabinet cost, which was about $350. The cabinet with 5 drawers sits in...

    Can lights

    Yes, got the work done through Kellys Acoustic Removal. They removed the popcorn ceiling, installed lights and fans. Their price was lower, quality was average. There were a few spots where they were not careful when painting the ceiling, so the white paint got on the wall. I didn't notice it...

    Anyone have any suggestions for a water softener and reverse osmosis?

    We got ours through a plumber. He did the installation also. The total cost was $1800. The softener system itself costs about $600, the RO about $150. Our water main connection needed to be routed underneath concrete walkway to bring it to the garage. That's what caused an increase in labor...

    Minivan purchase

    We have a Sienna and I would recommend it. Honda makes reliable cars as well, however, the markup on the Odyssey compared to the Sienna was one of the deciding factors for going with Sienna.

    Any tips lowering electrical bills

    I don't know the model name. We recently had new attic insulation installed, and the same guys installed the fan. The cost was $350 for material and labor for the fan.

    Any tips lowering electrical bills

    We got an attic fan installed in winter and have seen a noticeable difference in the temperature drop on the 2nd floor. Before, the rooms upstairs would be hot and stuffy without the AC on. Much better now with the attic fan. It is not solar though, so will have to see how that impacts the...

    Birds

    What a coincidence. I had noticed unusual bird chirping at night over the last week also. First time I have heard a bird going on at night. I took a walk in the neighborhood around 11 on Saturday night to see where it was coming from. Traced it down to a neighbor's tree a few houses down. After...

    Neighbor's massive backyard structure

    The point was that you could talk to your neighbor and find out the details of what's going on. It could resolve a lot of questions you had. Armed with that information you would have a better idea of what your options are. Otherwise you will be just spending your time and energy in second guessing.
