Good idea Carol. I thought I was the only one that opened the door with her hip when she's carrying a dish in each hand when we bbq.

I slide a cheap wooden baby gate in my sliding door opening to keep the dog from going out (or coming in) when I don't want him to. Works like a charm!

You get the best prices! Next time I'm looking at a major expense, I'm going to fly you out here, haha. Bet even paying for your ticket I would still save loads of money.

Mary... here is a hint to save money on home construction work... if you are in no real hurry for a specific job , such as a roof or painting, etc. contact a contractor that is a sub - contractor that works on building new home subdivisions. They might work on your project if and when they have a slow couple days, or just finished work at a subdivision and moving onto the next one and needs to keep his workers working and to be paid. Have fun while saving many $$$$s .

plus it helps knowing someone that you have been doing business with for over 14 years. a side note his father was my roofer before then....

Last roofing job I did was my old house after hurricane Ike dropped a 100 year old oak tree on it. 35 squares, got it done in 3 weekends. My husband didn't think I could do it, I sure showed him. LOL
