What items are needed to begin a raw food lifestyle change.

By on December 29th, 2008

My sister is just starting to get interested in a raw food lifestyle. She’s just starting out like, in the last week. Christmas is coming and I’m stumped on a gift for her so I thought there might be something that she may need related to this new direction she is choosing to go. Is there any kind of kitchen tool or somthing of the sort that is a must have for a raw food enthusist.

Implant drool bags. Individual air masks.

So I love my boyfriend and I love his dog- the only thing I don’t love is all the dog drool- EWW- So recently my boyfriend and his American Bulldog moved into my efficency apartment with me and I knew the dog drooled but its really disgusting- when the dog drinks the entire kitchen floor is covered in backwash, as he walks out of the kitchen about 1/4 of the water is still drooling back out of his mouth as it pours out all over the carpet leaving a trail wherever he goes- the dog is big enough that his sticky drool hangs out and gets all over the furniture as he looks at you- seats, chair arms, people arms and shoulders are always covered in drool gunk. The apartment smells horrendous- we use febreeze, do laundry often, take the dog to the groomers, and leave the window open as much as possible but it still wreaks of dog in here— any advice. help.

If I buy a half price item of furniture in the sales can I return it if I change my mind later. .

I want to buy kitchen units for my new house but as the sale has not yet been settled, I need to be able to return the units if the sale falls through.

Do we need HVAC in our pantry.

By on December 25th, 2008

As part of a larger whole-house remodeling job, we’re having our contractor gut a powder room (small bathroom) off the kitchen and turn it into a pantry. The existing powder room has a heating/ac vent and (even with the vent closed) can get quite warm in the winter. In the summer, without ac, we’re afraid the room will not be cool enough.

Anyone have any smart ideas on what to do. Do we need HVAC in our new pantry.

Thanks.

In California, Is It Legal For My Landlord To Leave Me With NO Working Lights or Electric Outlets.

By on December 24th, 2008

My house was built a couple of months ago, the landlord had some idiots build my house. When I moved in all the electricity worked in every room but as time went on my room light quit working, my outlets quit working, and then my two other rooms lost all electricity in them but the closets in the rooms have lights in them and they work fine. My Kitchen lights somtimes work and sometimes dont. I have been asking my landlord to fix it, he’s an older man and he forgets everything I tell him. One day he had a guy come with him to look at it but then they didnt have the right tools so he said he would come back and then he never did. I remind my Landlord all the time, he always says okay I’ll get someone to comeover and fix it. I’m fed up now, it’s been like 2 months now. I pay my rent every month and yet he wont do his job as a Landlord.
Does anyone know in California if it’s legal for him to leave me with no working lights or outlets. Or what should I do about it.

This is not the only problem I have had with this house but I do love the house.

WHAT SHOULD I DO . GO BACK OR STAY. LOVE OR FUTURE. FREEDOM OR SLAVISM . .

Hi there, I’m doing this question because I’m feeling trap with myself.
I’m from Ecuador 29 y.o. married (3 year) I came to London nearly 2 year ago, where I’m living currently.
Almost 6 month ago I met a Polish girl 24 y.o , who is totally falling in love with me, wants to marry me, go to Ecuador after 3 years more or less, etc (I feel something special for her too), I was in her home visiting her parent, who adore me.
We live together in London , but the bad thing is that she doesn’t know that I am married, just she knew that I had a strong relationship there, Ecuador.
Now my wife, mum and everybody want me to go back, because they think that I’m not getting anything good here. You know what I mean. ej.

In ecuador I worked as a teacher, here I’m a assistant kitchen, in Ecuador I tripped to the beach ( 10 mile away) every month, here I’m going to some European country every 4 month, in Ecuador I had a car of the year(Fiat 2006) before to come here, in London I take the underground and busses every day, but still I feel happier, less stressful, I like to be here.
There are some economic fact that make me doubt, because in Ecuador we (my wife and me ) have a property, plus now her parents want to sale their property also because they want to divide the heritage, so my wife will get £ 50,000 that in Ecuador is quite much, but if they can’t sale in these two month, we have to take care of a restaurant with is part of the property, that is her part if there is no money plus a double flat house.

My fear is that if I go back, first I’m going to feel down, and I wouldn’t have job, the worst is that I’m not sure whether I would love again my wife(I know is rude to say this), but in the other hand here in London I know I feel great, nice but for how long. Because it is quite difficult to go up, rich the success , above when my English is not excellent yet.
So, I ask you please give me some advices, What should I do and where do you think I will get better life.
I know that many will hate me, what I have written here , but I just tried to be the most honest , so I could have reliable answers .

Do you have an easy, inexpensive way to restore kitchen cabinets.

By on December 22nd, 2008

I don’t understand why Americans are going nuts for their kitchens. Particularly, the cabinets and counter tops. When I started getting estimates on fixing mine up, they all seemed outrageously hight. I am sitting around doing nothing most of the time, can do some DIY projects when I take lots of time and am careful, but am not a skilled craftsman. So, my question is, what is the best way for me to take on making the cabinets look better. To me, they are too dark, have water damage to outsides, need real nice outer hardware and anythign else to make them look nice.

I guess I have to strip the who bunch. Some sides are only photographic film, or so I am told, over crummy plywood. Maybe the whole thing is plywood or worse. One thing for sure, is there are many linerar feet of cabinets and there are lots of drawers, cabinets, shelves and all.

Gosh, I woul dlike to save those $23,000 quoted so far.

Any ideas.

Bye for now

Wiring delima. I enclosed a wiring diagram of everything. Can you put it together. Thanks.

By on December 21st, 2008

So I had to pull the wiring apart to get the old cabinet put that it was run through when I remodeled my kitchen. Well I had it all written down before I took it apart. That was 6 months ago. I had surgery in the mean time and spent a couple months in the hospital. It’s been to long to remember how it went and my roommate accidently threw the diagram away.

I know it’s a very childish drawing but it’s the best I can do.

The two switches are side by side in the kitchen. One is for the laundry room light and one is for the kitchen light. I think both switches were 3 ways. But I can’t remember for sure.

Can someone connect the dots.

Thanks so much. I really really need this. We are over budget and cant afford an electrician. I have a fair amount of wiring expierance but nothing this weird. Just standard stuff. Thanks.

I got it figured out. It was non of the below. The black on #2 is the wire that gets split off to both switches. The white didn’t get used. And on the #1 the white went to the laundry room switch and the black went to the kitchen switch.

Easy .
