    Buying Furniture

    Well, it's about time we upgrade the living room upholstered furniture and got a new dining set. Does anyone here have any opinions on upholstered furniture quality? I'm not looking for the top of line, as I'm not sure with a 4 year old that would be a wise investment. But I also don;t want...

    MEP Electrical Fees

    I'd like to poll the group what MEP design fees we're seeing. More specifically, electrical fees on resort mixed use commercial / residential buildings. While employed at past employers, I have seen fees on larger projects calculated as a percentage of total construction costs, or % of...

    The Hunting Thread

    Any EB members out there into hunting? Let's hear about it. Post stories, humor, etc. We may want to leave out the gory photos for our non-hunting friends here. My season started today, but it was pretty hot out for the elk. Saw a 1/2 dozens doe, but no bucks. I love getting into the woods...

    Refinancing

    Has anyone refinanced lately to take advantage of the low rates? We did a HARP no cost refi at WF bank last year and I'm considering doing another refi. You can only refi at no cost once per HARP (which allows no income verification, limited paperwork, no appraisal, etc.). Since I will have...

    Best Doggie Brush

    We've got a border collie who is shedding more this summer than ever. I need to get a new brush and want to get some opinions. She has a mixed long coat (her mom was a long coat and dad a short hair). I would consider her hair long. I use a slicker very successfully, but they fill up with...

    Collecting Bad Debts

    Has anyone ever filed a lien for unpaid fees? I'm not sure if it's worth it, because this fee is only a couple hundred dollars, but it's just this desire to make this clients had hurt that has me wondering if I should try and collect. I'm not sure if professional services would qualify for a...

    The Dandelion!

    I need to exterminate some of these yellow buggers. I want to avoid poison since that might not be so good fort kids and dogs (both of which I'm fond of). I hear salt, vinegar and a few other methods might be effective. Anyone want to share their methods for eradication?

    Doggie Dentist

    Dog has a cracked tooth and the dentist wants $1500 to extract over $2k ti try and save it. I laughed at that price to pull a tooth. We'll have to shop around. I would love to try and save the tooth and that might be worth $1500, but it's the big carnassial premolar up top and it's a bad...

    Anyone here recently purchased a 4runner SR5 4x4? I'm trying to figure out the best possible price. Truecar.com is helpful, but first hand advice is best. Thx

    Cost of everything keeps going up, up, up

    It's been commodities, coffee, gas, food..... Now I just bought diapers for the first time since May and I paid over 25% more. We used to buy on Ebay because it was cheaper than the big online sales stores. But even there prices are up. I guess I'll just have to start getting outta bed at...

    Now what do you think?

    For all the newbies that were flipping out waiting on results (which came at a record pace this test cycle), now how important does all that belly-aching seem? Are any states still waiting?

    Friendships disappear

    I'm starting to wonder, is it me, or since my wife and I started our family - what has become of all my buddies? It seems if it's not a play date or a dinner with friends, there is no guy time watching games and hanging out. It applies to friends with kids and friends without. My theory is as...

    HP 33s

    To all those looking for an approved calculator for the PE exam (and wanting RPN), avoid the HP 33s. Mine died recently after one year of use. Hp won't repair without proof of purchase - who saves receipts for a cheap calculator. And HP can't repair the thing - I can't even open it w/o...
