update: ghouls just wanna have fun - 2nd edition - part 2
Comments (47)Proudgm, you can save any pics to there, if it's in PB already then there is a link that says "copy to my album" and it will put it there. As far as other sites, I know there is a way to upload them to PB from your album, I think you would just put the web address in it, I've never done it before. Also as Tracy pointed out above: Vic, one thing I would like to add about setting up your own photobucket account is that you can create your own folders for it too. I have several different sub albums in my account for family pics, garden shots, then sub albums for each of my individual gardens, clematis, lilies, daylilies and then keep a separate album for all web art I find that I want to use again or edit/personalize. I like keeping them separated so if I do a search I can find what I'm looking for pretty quickly. It is a pretty neat site and they just recently expanded some of their editing tools so you can add comments and funny designs to the pictures too. I've started part 3 so we don't have to wear our mouses out scrolling the page : )...See MoreDid Your New Build Just Get $6,500 Cheaper?
Comments (40)Tracey, as I read it, if you own the land the house will be built on, you must have a binding contract to build in place by the end of April, and you must occupy the house by the end of June. But if you don't already own the land, but are buying the house and land as a package, you must both close and occupy by the end of April. A down payment isn't a binding contract, but it may be part of one. You certainly aren't going to give someone 10% of the price of a house without a written contract, I hope. To emphasize, the extension does not come into play unless the house is being built on your already owned land, in which case a binding contract is required by the end of April, instead of a closing. And please understand, this is my interpretation of what I have read on the subject. I am not an attorney or tax guru....See MoreDid I just ruin our new tile job?
Comments (6)Grout: If your grout is too light and not matching your sample - then your tile installer added too much water to grout mixture. This causes oxygen at the surface of the dried grout, causing the white color. There are (2) ways to correct the issue: #1: remove and old grout and re-grout or #2: dye the existing grout. Tile being uneven: I can't really tell in your photos how uneven the tiles are... but at the very least, your tile installer should have used a tile puck. It is a level that installers use to ensure that everything is even and that there is a correct amount of mortar under each piece. Grout in the tile: This is actually what a lot of people do ON PURPOSE because they like the natural / rustic look of it. If you did not want that look - then the installer should have sealed the tile BEFORE grouting so that the grout could be cleaned off the tile easier. To get the grout out at this point would be difficult. They do make a heavy duty cleaner that breaks up the grout and makes it easier to chip out. You could use a grout removal tool add-on for drill or roto-zip. Very, very tedious work though... and it may be easier and quicker just to retile. *** Although I know a lot of clients that LOVE the way this looks... Oil stain on tile: No, I don't think you ruined the tile. But I am wondering why you put the stain. Did you want the tile to be glossy? You should be able to get the oil stain off with mineral spirits and mineral spirits will not damage the tile. Just wet some rags and wipe. You will probably have to wipe it down a few times. Was your tile pre-sealed? Most tiles (unless noted) are pre-sealed at the factory so it is going to be pretty impervious to any other liquids or sealers. So that means - if the tile was not glossy when you bought it, then you cannot just put a gloss seal on it to make it glossy. Basically the tile will have difficulty absorbing the gloss sealant. If the tile is truly un-sealed (such as a marble, travertine, limestone, ect.) then you will need to seal it before you start using it to avoid stains and dirt. Your tile looks like the Rialto or Roman stone series from Lowe's. If that is it - then it is a porcelain pre-glazed tile and you cannot make it glossy. The finish that is on it (dull) is how the tile is made. Hope that helps!...See MoreNew faucet + lower H2O pressure = new H2O main??!
Comments (9)Plumbers have pressure gauges and should be able to hook them up between the faucet and the shut off valve. I would measure the pressure when the faucet is off. That establishes maximum pressure at the time of test. Then open the faucet and see if the pressure drops. If the pressure stays steady or does not drop much that suggests the faucet has a blockage of some type. Normally the blockage occurs in the screen at the tip of the faucet. It should unscrew and a you can see dirt in the screen when you take it off. I used to build new homes on well systems instead of public water. We always got some dirt in the system when we first started using the water. A faucet will just barely drip and the screen in the air e ator was always the cause. When ever the washing machine starts filling slowly you know to take off the hoses and clean the screens and everything returns to normal. You can also open the valve to the kitchen faucet after attaching a pressure guage to it and fill a bucket with water and see if the pressure reading is similar to when the faucet is on to establish a pattern of what to expect. I would not take at face value you need to replace the water main. Also those pipes are burried low enough to keep from freezing if you live in a cold climate. In florida it is usually 12-18 inches. I would be very surprised if you car can damage that pipe where ever you live. People on farms drive over there pipes with tractors everywhere....See Moreyourresidentdj
