    Cox internet speeds

    I have the Cox Internet Preferred "50 Mbps".  Did a test thru speedtest.net and getting only 30 Mbps.  So Cox probably shares bandwidth so when its busy, it is lower and when it is not busy, it is higher.  They are trying to increase my pricing by 50%.  They keep jacking up the price every 6...

    ac routers

    Do ac routers generally have greater range than n routers? My n router has a range of 250 meters. But I have noticed no reception in some parts of the house. None of my devices are ac compatible so I won't benefit from the ac speeds.  But will ac routers have better than 250 meter range?

    I think it is because the caulking will turn yellow.  Thats why they like to spray paint in place, after the moulding has been installed.

    Cox vs U-verse

    Direct TV has bad customer service.  Had so many problems with their dish breaking down and they always try to charge me to send a technician out.  Never paid, but a hassle to call it in to argue.  Plus they have a 2 year agreement. Cox always will increase your price after 6 months or a 1...

    I will call him. My neighbors used woodstone moulding and they are most expensive. Some used CA Moulding which are cheaper.  Some used Millwork Craft which is middle.  Curious as to how OC Finishwood compares pricewise and quality wise. I got a flier for Woodwork Solutions in Mission Viejo  but...

    Bones, we are thinking of using Jefferson Rand also. Supposedly they do a lot of the portola springs homes with succulents and lush gardens.  Mind sharing price and lot size and what you did so we can know if we are in the ballpark? How did you decided on them over others?  Did you give Jo at...

    Garage Floor- DIY?

    Had neighbors who used DIY kits and cant compare to the sika brand that Premier Garage uses. Way more chips and cleaner lok.  But then again, it costs more too.  Do it right and have no regrets later on.

    mdf or melamine - entertainment built in

    Yes it is the body of the cabinet. Everything but the raised panels. I believe the doors are the only thing that is wood. But would a 65 inch lcd tv with an extended mount hold on mdf or whatever they use for the back?

    crown moulding recommendations

    Marty, did he paint on the spot or did he paint outside and then install? I am debating Millworkcraft who doesnt paint and California Moulding who has it prepainted. I am leaning. toward having it painted outside of the house. That way we dont have to live with painters taping up everything and...
