  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Bought one of these this weekend and got half the house done. Of course, my sister was visiting so I made her help. :grin:

Nothing like making the inlaws works!

I refused to buy a house with out hardwood floors. With my 2 dogs, carpet gets dirty very fast.

We have a carpet cleaner that I use just about monthly...works really good and that water is nassty.

We are going to have hardwood everywhere if we move or put them in ourself.

Hardwood floor is definitely the way to go. If you have alergy problems then you should definitely do that about once a month.

The Wife® and I scored one of those cleaners on clearance at Lowe's for less than $75. Works pretty darn well.
Ok, I'll bite. 2 questions. 1. Was this recently you purchased for that price? 2. Why the trademark after wife?

Sorry but this things getting thread jacked!!! Bwaaahhhaaaahhaahahaa!!!!

Yep, it was about six or eight months ago, I'd guess, that we got that deal. I think they were clearing off their shelves for new stock or something and they were setting up a clearance display in the main aisle as one walks in. We were walking by, not paying much attention to the stuff, when one of the associates practically mugged us to show us this deal. So we grabbed it.

As for "The Wife&#174;"...well, that's just one of my things...the "&#174;" that is...not my wife. Everyone has a thing and that one's mine. Besides, after two previous wives, this one is a real winner and worthy of the distinction over her predecessors. :grin:

:rofl: Very nice. Thanks Peter.

Ok, the rest of you carry on.

Should look into the laminate wood floors. They're great, clean up easy and almost impossible to scratch.
