|Minimum Stay
|3 - 4 nights
French doors open from the patio to a large and airy studio with high beamed ceiling, Spanish tile floor, and private, recently remodeled bathroom.
Large patio area with barbecue grill, seating area, perfect for relaxing in the afternoon after a day at the beach or sightseeing around our beautiful 'Spanish Village By The Sea'.
From Casita Laurita it's a short walk everywhere: famous T-Street beach, downtown, bars, restaurants, grocery store. The Amtrak train makes daily stops at the pier to take you San Diego, Santa Barbara and other coastal cities. The Amtrak train stops at the pier and will take you to all points up and down the coast. The #1 bus at the end of the street will take you all the way up the coast to Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Surf City USA (Huntington Beach) and beyond!
I've lived in San Clemente for 18 years after 10 years in Europe. My home is filled with eclectic pieces from many countries so of course the adjoining Casita Laurita reflects my style!
I've always loved the 'southwest' section of San Clemente, the older, sought after area close to well known surf spots and pristine beaches. From the moment I stepped foot into this house, I knew it would be my 'home' for a very long time. And now, I welcome guests from around the world to share in this little bit of paradise, San Clemente Beach.
The casita is walking distance to the beach, pier, downtown, shops, bars, restaurants, grocery stores, train stop (catch the train to LA or San Diego right from the pier!)
My husband and I had the joy and privilege of staying at Casita Laurita during our visit to California for our wedding/honeymoon. We arrived late and when we walked into our room we had a lovely bottle of wine and treats with a note welcoming us. Laura doesn't miss a thing. Since we arrived so late she had a plate in the refrigerator with all the fixings for a breakfast for us the next morning. We felt so special and so welcomed. The Casita was extremely clean and decorated so nicely and very cozy and relaxing for our needs. It's a great location for a walk to the beach and local shopping. A very quiet area too with a lovely patio out front to sit and enjoy a glass of wine.
We fell in love with Laura. On our wedding day she played romantic music for us while she took some pre wedding photos of us before our departure for Laguna Beach.
Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we have fabulous memories of our wedding and our stay at Casita Laurita. Thank you Laura for being a part of our special day! And thank you for being a wonderful host! It was a pleasure.
I had the pleasure of staying at Casita Laurita for a week while on a work assignment in San Clemente. If you are a worker bee like me this is the place for you! It is so quiet in Laura's quaint neighborhood, you can work without any interruptions and get the best night sleep in preparation for the next work day. The Casita has everything you could ever need and downtown is close with numerous restaurants/bars and little speciality shops. The beach is just down the street and the sunsets are awesome. Laura is an excellent hostess and eager to make your stay relaxing. Oh, and did I mention, the bed is like sleeping on clouds! Thank you Laura!!!
Four nights at Casita Laurita was the perfect way to wind down after my business trip to Orange County. The studio is nestled in a residential area near the San Clemente Pier/ T-Street Beach and historic downtown shopping district. The outdoor living areas are an extension of the studio and perfect for reading and relaxing. Laura's attention to detail and hospitality made this stay exceptional... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Socal sun, blue pacific, white beaches, t-street, rivi, uppers, barb wire, trestles, steep drops, duck dives, rider's club burgers, pedro's tacos, hapa j's poke, sonny's pizza, rose's san onofre omellettes, left coast hop juice, friendly locals, cozy airy quiet quarters, and best of all... LAURITA :) Genuine awesomeness. Don''t miss it !!!
We stayed at Casita Laurita while visiting our Marine. The Cottage was immaculate and so very inviting. We loved being able to fly in and have beach equipment provided! Laura has seen to every possible detail, especially the cozy, relaxing atmosphere.
The only downside was the fact that that the futon bed wasn't as comfy as desired. Other than that it was totally a beautiful, tranquil cottage nestled among the ocean and the quaint downtown.
The was very clean and comfortable, with all and more amenities off any major hotel chain. Laura had all the things we needed to enjoy ourselves on the beach. This was centrally located with easy access to San Clemente downtown, beach and rail service north and south. The best part of the stay was Laura herself. She is a very genuine person, extremely accommodating, we felt like friends the first day we arrived. We highly recommend staying here, as we plan to again next year.
San Clemente, known as the 'Spanish Village by the Sea, is a charming Mediterranean style beach resort perfectly tucked away halfway between San Diego and Los Angeles. San Clemente is famous for our surfing spots, T-Street and Trestles and nearby Salt Creek.
Historic Avenida Del Mar, the quaint downtown district, has an eclectic mixture of restaurants to choose from - Classic American, huge portions NOTE: yes doggie bags and sharing is perfectly acceptable!, Thai, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Mediterranean, Vietnamese, Tea Rooms,etc. Wine bars and other pubs are all within walking distance from Casita Laurita. Downtown hosts a monthly Village Art Fair, a Sunday Farmer's Market and specialty shops to keep you busy all day.
If you want to venture away from town, we are close to everything! Take a drive on the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 101) driving north along the beautiful coastline, in minutes you'll be at Dana Point Yacht Harbor, then the popular Art Colony of Laguna Beach, Balboa Island and Newport Beach. Further on, but less than an hour to Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Huntington Beach (Surf City U.S.A.) and just a little further to Hollywood, LAX, Universal Studios.
If you head south from SC, visit beautiful San Diego and it's surroundings, La Jolla and other beach towns along the coast. About one hour east is Temecula Wine Country, Old Town Julian, also a little over an hour away in the mountains.
Remember this song? - 26 miles across the sea....Santa Catalina is waiting you! Catch the early morning Catalina Express from Dana Point and in 1.5 hours you are in another southern California treasure. The 5 pm ferry should get you back to San Clemente in time to unwind at our popular Fishermans Restaurant and bar on the pier, to watch the sunset, enjoy a cocktail and share stories of an unforgettable holiday on the California Riviera.
WEATHER IN SAN CLEMENTE: Warmest in July/August with average temp of 76F (25C). December/January is coolest at 47F (8C)
Orange County (John Wayne) Airport SNA is approximately 25 minutes away and has easily connectible service to and from European destinations and all around the world. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is approximately an hour and 10 minute's drive from San Clemente. Flights arrive here from many other U.S cities as well as international airports including Amsterdam (AMS), Beijing Capital (PEK), Frankfurt (FRA), London-Heathrow (LHW), Madrid (MAD), Moscow-Sheremetyevo (SME), Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Tokyo-Narita (NRT) and Toronto-Pearson (YYZ) and others.

Bill Clinton Endorses Strickland For US Senate Race
Former President Bill Clinton is endorsing former Ohio governor Ted Strickland's U.S. Senate bid.
Listen to the Story
Ohio's governor placed on leave an agency director who was questioned over why state computers were used to find personal information on "Joe the Plumber."
Gov. Ted Strickland said in a statement that Helen Jones-Kelley, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, was placed on paid administrative leave over allegations a state computer or state e-mail account was used to assist in political fundraising.
The statement Friday did not mention the checks made on Samuel J.Wurzelbacher, a Toledo-area man known as Joe the Plumber who became a centerpiece in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.
State Inspector General Tom Charles is investigating whether Jones-Kelley improperly authorized a search of government records on Wurzelbacher.

Need ID please
A decideous azalea, and a late one. There's two different cultivars here, aren't there? Pic 1 has a decided yellow blotch which tells me it could be Weston's Lolipop or even Arneson's Gem (it would have been helpful to capture the leaves of the plant rather than have the hosta leaves looming as they are) in better determining the I.D.
Looking at pic 2, it appears to be an entirely different plant (through angle and sun) and if it is, it could be Admiral Semmes although with it's thick branching I'm thinking Exbury. They're beauties.
Oppps sorry birdsong, yes there're 2 diff cultivars, did not know leaves are important in IDing azalea too lol!!!! thought only in Hostas.
this is the 1st one with a little leaves, both are getting very leggy and usually smashed by the snow in the winter from the metal roof.
I'm thinking I need to trim both so it will get bushier and not as leggy and move away from the roof, should I?

"Y'all Ain't Ready"
Despite his own wife's jabs that his debut CD might sell "a hundred, maybe a thousand, copies if he was lucky," K-Fed leaked the hilarious "Y'all Ain't Ready" on Thanksgiving of 2005. On it he mispronounced "paparazzi," coined his K-Fed nickname, and promised to sell 10 million and then be a goner. The world's pessimists groaned, "Jeez, we may never get rid of him." The world's optimists wondered if we just accepted his invitation to call him Daddy, maybe K-Fed would just ignore us like he does his real-life children.
Federline chooses New Year's Eve at the stroke of midnight when the alcohol level is at its highest and people's tolerance for shit is at its lowest as the perfect time to release his new single and ignite a downloading stampede. His press release will make much mention of the one million people who downloaded this track in eight days, without taking into account that public executions are always well-attended. Just for the record, "PopoZao" means "big ass."
"America's Most Hated"
Britney Spears files for divorce, which immediately cancels out this song's main brag, "I've got 50 mil, I do whatever I want." In its first week, the sales for Playing With Fire are dismal, some 9,993,000 copies short of K-Fed's goal. After getting kicked to the curb by Ms. Spears, K-Fed turned to professional wrestling to capitalize on his poor public relations. If getting body-slammed by WWE champion John Cena doesn't stimulate sales, what's he gonna do for a rematch? How about getting in the ring with '80s pop star Thomas Dolby, whom K-Fed sampled without permission for this stinker. "If anybody's going to sing nasty lyrics over my music, it's going to be me," Dolby said. "Blinded Me With Science"? How about "Shut Him Up With Accounting"?

Grease baking trays (preferably with a bit of a lip) with a light spray of canola oil and lay the popped popcorn on the trays.
Chop pecans roughly but in smallish pieces and scatter over the popcorn.
Melt butter in saucepan and add honey, then the sugar, stir, keep on high and let it bubble/boil until all the sugar is dissolved. Turn down to a simmer and let it caramelise – this should take about 4 minutes.
At this stage you need to be quick, pour the sugar mixture over your trays and then with two tablespoons, mix it through the popcorn and pecans, trying to get an even coverage, as the toffee starts to cool, then pat it down with your hands, and sweep uncovered popcorn into the middle of covered popcorn pressing down.
Leave to cool for about 10 minutes then break up and put into airtight container or ziplock bag.

Japan - Sri Lanka relations go far back into history tracing many centuries ago, when Japanese traders first visited Sri Lanka. The partnership was officially formalized in 1954, focusing on technical cooperation. The Government of Japan has been one of Sri Lanka's key development partners and is today one of the country's largest bilateral donors.
With the end of the nearly thirty year long civil war in Sri Lanka in May 2009, in less than a year, Sri Lanka was recognized as a middle income country by the International Monetary Fund. Sri Lanka aims to double its income and become an upper middle income country by 2016.
JICA, the implementing agency for Japan's official development assistance, is taking Sri Lanka's needs into account and focusing its support on four priority areas :
1. Assisting the country to accelerate economic growth, 2. Poverty alleviation and regional development. 3. Improving living conditions of conflict-affected populations in the North and the East. 4. Disaster management and climate change.

The man embodies the pride that one takes from himself, that pride slowly fades when forced into situations that makes him question his own soul.

PvE "bootcamp"
So, I'm not a PvP player. I've done it a few times for lols and fun, and I've won some and lost a lot, but its not really what I'm after most of the time.
I prefer PvE, mostly because I feel better about taking out my frustrations on the computer, or playing as part of a team. However, with all of the focus that PvP has been getting with their bootcamp, I feel like there is room for a bit of the same in PvE a place or group where people can come together and talk about wild and crazy builds that don't have a place in PvP but work wonders in PvE.
So, what does everyone else think?
It's called the regular PvE subforums, or zone chat. :)

Morels harvested a couple days ago in the Minnesota River bottom somewhere between Fort Ridgely and Morton. Exact location will remain undisclosed to protect hunting grounds from interlopers! LOL
This was approximately 1/5 of the total, my share of the harvest.
Has anybody ever found morels north of Brainerd? We would like to try a "shroom hunt" but don't know if they grow up here. I know they like dead elms and we don't have any of those around the area. Other options?
Looks like you did VERY well Soilent!
Has anybody ever found morels north of Brainerd?
I do not know anyone up in that area so I can not answer that question, but IMO it all depends on whether the proper habitat exists. Morel Habitat
Morels are fickle creatures, so even if the proper habitat exists that does not necessarily mean you will find them or find very many of them. But if you are looking in the wrong habitat it is guaranteed that you will never find them, so start with the basics - educate yourself, know what you are doing, and be patient and persistent. We get skunked more often than not, but a good year more than makes up for the failures. For us it is more about the hunt - if my group were guaranteed of finding them every year most of us would probably quit doing it. I think. Maybe. Perhaps not.
Have a good day.
Tom, Thanks for the "Morel Habitat" site.
This morning I was watching P. Allen Smith on the Create channel. He had a 10 minute segment on Morel hunting.
We don't have the best habitat around here but I think there are a few spots worth checking out. We don't have elms but we do have ash trees in the river bottoms.
A day spent in the great outdoors will always be a special day!
Thanks for posting this message, Tom. With so much rain I haven't been walking around the front gardens much. Recently decided to inspect them to see what was growing. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two large mushrooms amongst the wood chips under my deck. As I have never been morel hunting or seen one in nature I spent two days researching to be sure they were morels. Today I picked them, 9 inches each. Washed and dumped the water back in the area so maybe there will be more next year.
mnwsgal - That is great! Sounds like you did your research but to all readers I strongly advise that you be absolutely 100% certain of the edibility of any wild-harvested food before you consume it. And make certain no pesticides or chemicals were applied to any area from which you seek to harvest wild food.
Beware the False Morel. Impossible to mistake for the real thing by anyone with experience, but could cause problems for folks with less knowledge.
Remember the golden rule: "If any doubt, throw it out."

New plumeria
Just ordered from " a piece of plumeria"
Should be receiving this week. My question is, is it going to be too late to root these? I never gave it a thought , but reading a lot of the comments, now I am wondering what I will do with them, or what should I do with them?
Thanks in advance
Congratulations Sharon!!
It is not to late to root a Plumeria.
Lots of people root during this time of the year and even durring the winter. So don't think it can't be done.
Most of us that are not in TX, CA, FA have more of a challenge than those with better temperatures, but you can help it along by keeping it warm and maybe using a heat mat and under a grow light during the fall. I see you are in Ohio. The night time temps will start dropping down in the next few weeks, so i might go ahead and start it inside under lights and on a seed heating mat.
If you need more info, im sure others will chime in and give you some good advice, but dont think that it cant be done.
It can!!! : )
I just potted one up today!!
Good Luck!!
HI Sharon,
I'm still some what new to growing plumerias,as of now I have 8 rooted cuttings most started in the early fall of 2010 and 2011 and they did well, I put them in damp soil and left them alone and by spring they had started to root,growing time here in New England is short so by March I put them under light to give then a head start, I might not grow them the way I should but so far this has worked for me,next month I will be bring back 5 more cuttings so I will start them the same way.
I think I'm hooked on them, just can't wait to see my first blooms

Whether you want to silently boogie down to disco tracks, listen to a movie you're watching on your computer or just want to have better sound for a video game, good headphones are a necessity. Several types of headphones are available today, starting from full-sized headphones which are great in blocking external noise, supra-aural which are more lightweight but less effective when it comes to noise isolation, and lastly in-ear headphones which are smaller and more popular these days. Here at IntelliReview, we understand that aside from sound quality, you also need to take into account other essential factors like comfort, durability and cord length in order to make the most out of your audio experience. With that said, we formulate our list of the best headphones by collecting reviews and ranking products based on the amount of positive and negative reviews. This method is very reliable and effective considering that people only write reviews when they are really happy or really upset with a certain product. It also ensures that only the best models make it to the top our list. Browse below to find our easy to read and useful headphone reviews.
Pros: Crisp and clear sound, Durable
Cons: Bulky, Expensive, Weak bass
Review: While it is intended for studio monitoring, Sennheiser's HD280 is also great for listening to music and playing games. Its overall sound quality is excellent and its noise isolation feature is phenomenal. On the other hand, its bass can be a little weak but its low impedance and flat frequency response make up for it. Compared to other headphones, the HD280 may seem heavier and a little bulky but its foldable design makes it easily collapsible and allows you to take them anywhere you go. It also features an adjustable headband for a more personalized fit and soft ear pads and rotating cups which provide exceptional listening comfort. On the surface, its closed-back design might seem like a pain due to the fact that it makes it a bit tight but then, its ability to reduce external noise by 32 dB even without pumping up the volume makes it bearable. Plus, its main parts including its cord and ear pads are easily replaceable so you won't ever need to buy another pair. Sennheiser's HD280 is widely compatible with most portable mp3 and media players. In the box, you'll also find a 1/8-inch plug with locking 1/4-inch adapter. Overall, it may be quite expensive but its outstanding quality and superb clarity make it one of the best headphones around.
1160 Reviews
Pros: Durable construction, Comfortable to wear, Great noise cancellation, Roomy case, Modest price
Cons: Slight leakage, Bulky
Review: A wallet- and travel-friendly solution for long flights or for simply enjoying music without interruption, the Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC7b is every bit as good as the original but significantly improves on comfort and sound quality, characterized by better audio and more effective noise cancellation. It can even function as passive headphones when noise cancellation is not activated or when there's no battery inserted. Large-aperture 40 mm drivers with neodymium magnets promise high quality sound and impressive bass. Battery life is also excellent, offering 40 hours of operation. The headphones require a single AAA battery for the noise cancellation feature and there's an indicator light that signals when the particular function is turned on or active. Given its battery life, you won't need to carry a lot of cells when travelling. You'll probably need just one if you intend on using it for long hours. The ATH-ANC7b is slightly beefier than the ATH-ANC7. Its ear cups are thicker, offering a higher level of comfort. Moreover, it folds flat and it comes with a nice, convenient carrying case that can hold both your headphones and your mp3 player or iPod. Other accessories include an airline adapter, 3.5 mm mini-plugs and a ¼ adapter. Some reported leakage issues when listening at high volume thus, causing a little distraction to those around you. On the other hand, it shouldn't be a problem if you don't plan on putting the volume on the highest possible setting. The cost of these headphones is also very good and reasonable at almost half the price of more expensive models. So if you're only buying for personal purposes or for use during flights, we don't see any reason why you should not give this one a try. By today's standards, the Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC7b serves as a great alternative to more popular brands and a nice improvement over the original. It can block and reduce external noise by 90%, allowing music to be heard more clearly, especially when you're in a noisy environment.
Pros: Wireless, Lightweight, Excellent reception
Cons: Doesn't include rechargeable batteries, Loose fit
Review: Wireless connectivity and wide compatibility makes the Sennheiser RS 110 a good replacement to your corded headset. With its excellent range of up to 100 meters, you can walk through doors and move around the house without losing signal. Plus, it lets you accomplish daily tasks while listening to your favorite playlist and enables you to skip the hassle of figuring out how to hide unsightly wires. These headphones are lightweight and comfortable. It boasts of a supraaural design which offers excellent sound reproduction and onboard controls which allow you to adjust the sound to your liking and quickly turn it off or on. Installation is a snap to do and sound quality is crisp and clear. Its bass is honestly not heart-thumping but has proven to be sufficient for casual listening. Its ear pads are also replaceable, making it long-lasting. In terms of battery life, the supplied AAA batteries may last for several uses but you may need to shell out a little bit and buy rechargeable ones if you plan on using the headphone every day. Sennheiser's RS 110 is very versatile. It is compatible with PC and Mac systems and is suitable for use with a variety of A/V equipment including TVs, DVD and Blu-Ray Players and portable mp3 players. Its fit may be a little loose but it serves its purpose really well and most importantly, it provides a cheap way to enjoy wireless freedom.
Pros: Very good noise isolation, Superb sound quality, Replaceable cable, Solid bass, Includes an earwax cleaning tool and three sizes (S, M, L) of the flex and black foam sleeves
Cons: Over-the-ear style, Long cable
Review: The Shure SE215 has the same clear or translucent black housing you'd come to expect from Shure earphones, embellished with the usual Shure logo and model number, which in this case, is SE215. Also, it gives auditory bliss through its Dynamic MicroDriver, just like any other Shure earbuds. Perhaps, one of its step-up features over standard earphones is its 64-inch replaceable cable with wireform fit. Although it is too long for some, the cord is of higher quality, made of thick rubber, and it makes the earbuds longer lasting and less prone to breaking compared to those with non-removable cables. You can even replace it with matching clear or black cables or with Earphone Accessory Cables which go well with your Apple devices and selected phones and allow the SE215 to turn into a mobile headset with its own built-in mic and volume control. We admit, the over-the-ear style doesn't provide the best comfort as it is slightly difficult to put correctly. If you're not terribly concerned with the fit though, it is worth the try. The formable wire makes sure that its out of the way until you need it and the earbuds are comfortable to wear when you are in bed and trying to sleep. The Gold plated MMCX Connector even permits 360-degree rotation. The Shure SE215 not only seeks to provide the best fit with its included Fit Kit, which gives you the freedom to choose from three sizes (S, M, L) of the flex and black foam sleeves, it effectively reduces noise up to 37 dB for truly personal listening. Available at a remarkable price, the sound quality of the SE215 comes as a surprise for many users, with enveloping sound and ample bass. Extra accessories like an earwax cleaning tool for easy cleaning and a compact carrying case for neat storage also come with the package.

So it looks like my heat pump took a bath during my basement flood and decided to pack it in. I've gotten estimates from $2000 to replace the compressor to over $8000 to replace the unit. I want to be sure that it's really blown before I fork over all those dollars so I'm hoping that there's a homebrewer with some expertise that can help me out. Please assume I'm highly technical.
The bottom of the compressor got wet to about 2 inches which covered the entrance of the power cables into the compressor. There is some white sealant around the wires but it's possible some water got in past the barrier. In addition to the compressor, the positive temperature coefficient resistor (PCTR) was submerged. I took it apart to drain it, but I have to confess that I'm unsure of its operation and whether or not it was damaged in any way. It seems to be simply two ceramic plates with a metal disc between them. I reassembled the resistor and one time it got very hot, so I took it apart again and this time there was no heat.
I checked the voltage to the compressor and there is 220 volts between the run and common terminals, and between the PCTR the common. The compressor doesn't seem to want to start at all.
I was alerted to the problem when the breaker to the furnace was thrown. I reset the breaker but did not hear any compressor operation. The breaker did not throw again immediately and I ran it for about 30 seconds per test without it tripping. I didn't want to push it any further than that if there is indeed a fault.
I haven't checked continuity to ground yet, or terminal to terminal because I've only just found a very basic schematic for a compressor online. Maybe some HVAC person can direct me to more information or tests to perform. I have access to a Fluke DMM and can borrow a scope from work if need be. In fact, I should be able to access any equipment that can be found in a well supplied electronics maintenance shop, but no specialty HVAC tools.
So if anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it. I'm not expecting that much can be done, but I'd be wasting a great resource if I didn't ask. We can go to PMs if we start to bore anyone.
Thanks in advance, HVAC guys(gals).
More than likely, if there was any damage done, it would be the electronics and not the compressor. The seal where the wires pass into the compressor crankcase is designed to hold back refrigerant pressure. I can guarantee that no water got into the refrigerant circuit.
Even if the compressor was bad you would see voltage reading across the common terminal to the other terminals. This is due to the fact that most residential units only use a single pole contactor to start/stop the compressor. One leg of the 220vac goes straight to the common terminal, so it's live even when not running
If you want to check the compressor windings for opens, shorts or grounds, turn off the power and remove the wires from the three terminals on the compressor. Make sure you mark them so that you can return them to their proper positions.
To get accurate readings your meter must be able to check for resistance in different ranges (400 ohm, 4000 ohm, 40,000 ohm etc). If it can, set it to it's lowest ohm setting (400 ohm) and check for opens and shorts between the windings. Check terminals 1-2, 1-3 and 2-3. You should get some measurable reading. If you see no continuity, you have open windings. If you see zero resistance, you have a short between windings.
To check for grounded windings, set your meter to its highest range (40 meg ohms). Scrape some of the paint off the compressor body so that you have good contact with one of your meter's probes. Place the other probe on each of the three terminals, one at a time. You should not see ANY continuity from ANY of the windings to ground. If you do, you have grounded windings.
If the compressor was running when the flood reached the terminals, or if it started after the terminals were covered with water it would have created a direct short and tripped the breaker and most likely would not damage the compressor. Don't let some hacks start cutting out the compressor until you are certain it is shot. Let me know how you make out.
The compressor was not running when the water came up. I shut off the breaker myself to ensure that it would not come on when the power was restored. I inspected the unit when the water receeded and the only component under water was the PTCR. I pulled it apart and drained it. Other than that and the compressor body, no other components touched the water. Of course I suspected the PTCR as the culprit but it appears to be assembled properly and still no luck.
I'm at work right now so I can't check for shorts and continuity until I get home, but doing that is no problem. I understand what you mean about the single pole contactor, but when the furnace starts up, you can hear the bang of the contactor and the voltage on the windings does go to line voltage. That tells me the compressor is getting its proper juice.
What can you tell me about the PTCR? That's the one variable I'm not familiar with. I tried taking it out of the circuit but leaving the capacitor in. Can the system run without it? As I said, it was the only thing that got wet and I did take it apart.
I know that a PTCR has an increase in resisitance in response to an increase in temperature. However, I'm not sure what function it has in your particular unit. What kind of heat pump do you have that has the compressor located inside in the basement? It is a water source heat pump, or geo-thermal? Let me know who the manufacturer is and maybe I can find some more info.
To me, water source and geo-thermal are one and the same. I draw from one well and discharge into another. The heat pump either cools the house or warms it, depending on the direction of the reversing valve. The weather here is too cold to have an external compressor and an air to air unit.
I checked the the compressor windings with an expense auto-ranging Fluke multimeter and it looks like I have open windings. I couldn't get any impedance readings at all between any of the terminals. They weren't shorted to ground but they appear open.
By the way, my unit is a Florida Heat Pump (FHP) and it's an older 5 ton model (SL055). According to FHP, the replacement for this unit is the GT054. You can see the propaganda at www.fhp-mfg.com
I don't know if I'll buy another FHP to replace this one. I think I may go with a locally produced machine instead. I tend to have more confidence in machines that were designed in Canada for a Canadian climate.

Archway painting problem
I am painting the interior of a home that has many thick archways (about 12" deep) dividing each room to the hallway. Do you paint the archways the color of the room you will enter or do you paint it the color of the hallway that connects the archway to the room? Ex. Hallway - archway - dining room,
hallway - archway - living room.
I am worried that if I paint the archways the colors of the rooms and not the color of the hallways, it will look like a circus.
There is a rule of thumb for this. Like a lot of color rules I have experimented with breaking them or you could say coloring against them. Breaking this one rule of thumb didn't work out so well for me, it felt weird and I had it undone to 'the way it's supposed to be'.
It's actually very easy to understand and do.
Start at the front door. As you move thru the house and enter a room, the color from the room you are leaving spills thru the thresholds or archways and stops at the edge of the wall for the room you are entering.
Color changes/breaks should always follow the flow of foot traffic as it would flow from the front, formal entrance of the house. Flooring materials often follow this same rule of thumb and is another case where I really do think it's a good rule to follow.
It feels weird if you try to *spill* from the back of the house to the front. I swear it feels REALLY weird and disjointed if you mix it up meaning some color spilling from the front and some spilling from the back.
And it doesn't matter if the archway, threshold is a fat chunky wall or just a skinny few inches.
I have been in some houses where the first thing I noticed was the inconsistent or *wrong* spilling/transitioning of color room to room. Mentioning it to homeowners means they'll either look at me like I have two heads, or some will have been just fine with it, didn't even notice it until I pointed it out.
Seems like such an insignificant issue doesn't it? But it really is not.
I saw OP's post on the Homedec boards, but didn't answer because I painted the archways in two different styles. Didn't know why at the time, just seemed right.
Reading FC's explanation, maybe I wasn't so far off, after all. From the formal entrance, I pulled that color through the kitchen archway then dragged those room colors through to the informal hallway, in the back of the house.
Kitty picture is just to show the archways, the others show the paint transition.
The entry color, putnam ivory, is painting in the hallway, through the archway and into the living which is also putnam ivory. Then the putnam ivory is painted on the arch of the dining room which is painted decatur buff. Because all of the edges of the archway are rounded, can the decatur buff turns the edge slightly onto the arch. there is really no happy medium. either the putnam turns the edge or the decatur. same goes with other archways in the house. so, is this the way it should be? Should I be able to see the dining room color at all on the archway?

The woman allegedly took Ecstasy and started to become aggressive during their sexual encounter
By Jeff Weiner
Orlando Sentinel
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — An escort accused of attacking a man and nearly biting his penis off during a sexual encounter at an Orange County hotel was arrested on an attempted murder charge Tuesday morning.
Deputies were called to the Crestwood Suites on University Boulevard after multiple 911 callers "reported screaming and growling sounds from a room on the second floor" of the hotel.
They arrived to find the victim "covered in a significant amount of blood, with numerous bite wounds," the report states. He was rushed to the Orlando Regional Medical Center trauma center. The man had "significant" bites to his penis and testicles, the report states, as well as damage to his leg, abdomen, chest and fingers.

Markets putting people first; frankly I'm dubious, theorically your right, economists have for a long time tried to internalize, these externalities, for example Pigou was the first to introduce the concept of Ecotax.
In reality it is different; agents don't care to implement this kind of rule, which is costly for the society, but advantageous for them.
It is precisely here where we need a State to make the transition, but even in Europe where the system is widespread, it requires the State to fix objectives.
So, the problem we have here is more due to markets (real as they exist) coupled with bribed officials and their connivance with some qualmless businessmen.
In china's forums, there are people always vindicating that the evils done by the government or the Party (actually it is non-different between them) are necessary, or the authorities have endeavoured to prevent the disaster. Some of them have been accustomed to being fooled, while the rest called "50 cents"("wu mao" in chinese pronunciation) are hired by the government. Today I surprisingly saw one here. Hello, morningandglory!
The party's propaganda ministry may have not "ordered journalists not to investigate this". On the contrary, "chinese gov make an administrative decision immediately when the first illed baby was konwn by the gov"(Why didn't they know there had been dead babies in 2007? Where is the), because they needed some scapegoats.
The salary of "wu mao" is meagre, not as much as the shame done by them.
Here is a very clear example of the necessary and indispensible role played by government. It is to ensure honest dealings and the faithful fulfillment of obligations. Such a use of government is perfectly consistent with capitalism. Markets cannot function in an environment of fraud. Fraud is the antithesis of property rightly understood. Markets rightly understood do in fact put people first.
The critical factor here seems to have been the delay in enforcement resulting from a misplaced association of national pride with particular private interests. The economy requires an objective detachment in the application of the basic rules of the market. Here is a hard lesson indeed that will now hopefully be well learned by those in political office everywhere. My heart goes out to the victims.
This is not the first time melamine has created international embarrassment for China. Last year, Toronto's Menu Foods was forced to recall thousands of containers of pet food after a Chinese supplier tainted its raw materials with melamine. The contaminated food ruined the kidneys of many pets. From what I've read, the babies' kidneys are also being obliterated by the melamine.
holly sh**, how can you continuously misguide your readers like this? you treat them like stupid pigs by teaching them how to judge. if the reality is so obvious itself, why do you make an effort to persuade? because you scare, you never dare to finish the whole picture, what do you offer is just a small piece of the vision or something you fabricate instead of the interviewer, it is that what you want to say or what your readers want to hear, but hey, that is not China! it's ridiculous.
I highly suspect that the melamine was mixed in by no one but Sanlu Group itself. By my speculation, it was just a "standard procedure", a "publicized secret". It's not hard to think so if one looks at the simple fact: the tainted milk powder was sold at merely ¥13 a bag. How could the producer make profit if their products were so cheap? The profit would be none if they filled every bag with 100 percent real milk powder. The only way it could make money from it is to sell melamine-mixed powder, because the price of melamine per ton is much lower. Why didn't they add anything else but melamine? Because melamine has more nitrogen atoms per molecule than protein does. Thus, as the article points out, it can deceive inspectors about the milk's protein content. My speculation also explains why melamine was found in the products of as many as 22 diary producers. Adding that chemical became a procedure that every milk company who didn't want to be kicked out of the market had to employ. As long as the prices of their products are low enough to attract low-incom e consumers hence occupy the market, they don't give a damn about other people's life and health. And that's why most of the kids suffered from tainted milk are from low-income families or rural families.
the last part is true,"It would not have happened in the days of Mao Zedong" I mean, back then, there would not be any milk powder being sold from the first place.But up until this point, I cannot believe that there are still people who said the Chinese government have taken "an administrative decision immediately". I mean, after over 6000 babies have drank the milk and got sick... that doesn't sound "immediately" to me.
Federico Abbasciano, there are always some people who are more sensitive about their country than others, and this is true anywhere. There will always be some americans who get angry when others criticize the war in Iraq, while others try to be more objective and reasonable. This is the same with Chinese people.So if you see people from China who try to counter-criticize the west on the internet and you don't feel it is constructive to the discussion, just ignore them. Try engaging a conversation to the more objective thinking Chinese, rather than just pointing out how "any time" there is something criticizing china there are always "some people feel obliged to react" in an irrational manner, because that happens almost everywhere with people of all nationalities. When many people say things like that (though I'm sure you don't mean it), they often try to shift the discussion away from the actual issue into bashing about how Chinese people are so sensitive, which is more inflammatory and incites more irrational arguments and misunderstandings. (Again I know that is not your intention, because you said "some people". but I'm just saying)Btw I am Chinese-American, and I fully admit there are things wrong with the country where I was born, but I love China, and I know that only when more Chinese people accept the faults of their government will things improve... and they will! There are actually many people in China who do criticize their government. I went to Beijing University this summer, and every single student I talked to wished the government could improve on corruption. And this scandal probably did not surprise them very much. But at the same time they acknowledge how much their government and country have progressed over the years, and all of them, like me, are proud of the country. It's a very complicated picture in China, and people should never look at it in black and white.
it's beautiful that in a communist system that, in principle, puts its people first, there are still plenty of examples of greed and corruption at the cost of its own people's lives and welfare.some people here from china complain about and attack the west, some westerners complain about and attack china, but ultimately we are all human and share the same flaws, but those flaws can manifest themselves in different ways.
as a chinese, I hate to be cheap. but sometimes it is reality.
as a normal people now living in china,actually the fact is totally a different story form the economist reported at least in my eyes,especially on the report about the so called"CCP propaganda ministry has ordered journalists not to investigate this"in my sight,chinese gov make an administrative decision immediately when the first illed baby was konwn by the gov.
and the media and relative partment began to investigate this.
the reports hijacked the headlines of different news reports.
till now the chairman of sanlu has been arrested,and the vice-mayor of shijiazhuang has been deposed.chinese gov and people are doing their best to solve this problem.
china is still a developing country,on no account that we can ignore it's basic system which hasn't been consummated just like the west whereas we can never overlook the chinese gov's effort..
please please please!
be a little little more fair-and-square.
Federico Abbasciano
Although it would seem that you have a very good command of written English it would appear that you could still maybe do with a few more lessons in actually comprehending it; and it a lesson or two covering the last thirty or so years of political charlatans and sociopaths would come in handy too.
As a farmer supplier/shareholder in Fonterra, I am deeply saddened that children's lives have been put at risk by what seems to be the adulteration of raw milk purely for financial gain. New Zealand farmers have worked hard to build a reputation for produce that is of the highest standard in terms of quality and safety and I am sure most are disappointed that our reputation may now be tarnished through Fonterra's minority holding in Sanlu. Questions will no doubt be asked whether the risks of continuing to do business in China are really worth it.
Once again,the Chinese gov let the people down, both in and abroad. And everytime the casualty must be the ordidary people. With so many bureau to check the products, the scandal turn out to be a scare for a long time. It's unbelievable.
The gov should reflect on itself and reform its current management model.
The official in China are selected by their boss, not their people.This results that they are only responsible for their higher-up with no respect on people's reaction.The CCP has relized its problem and try to change this shortcoming. But without public involving , the reforms are short of motivation and progress slowly. Compared with its stunning economic success, its political reform is in a hot water.
Until now, the world economic condition is unsatisfied, slowed down by high oil price and shortage of food supply. With financial crisis in Wall street, the stock market has been beated down. In China, the index backed up to ten years ago.
When its GDP's increase is slowing down, what else can gov take to boast its successful management?
could someone explain to me how is it that any time an article regarding china appears on the economist, some people feel obliged to react criticizing the west? repa, are you suggesting that tainted milk powder is not a scandal? what do thatcher and reagan have to do with food safety in china? as for 'capitalist greed', well I am of the opinion that today's china is a prime example of it. go figuresigned: someone who would have refrained drinking yogurt in china this summer, had he known about all of thisPS: don't try even for a second labelling me a 'china-basher'.
People first means food safety first. A more complete, I mean, seamless, monitoring and inspecting procedures must be established and applied, with strict responsibility system, to all stages of the food industries chain, from farm to fork, or, from stable to table.
Funny how all of this seems like a scandal to the very people who helped pioneered and tub thumped the whatever it takes to make a fatter buck society. Western capitalist greed is founded upon poor people's dead and starving and enslaved children...or did you miss out on reading that one (printed in 1point type) at the back of the Davos annual profits report. Looking around today it would seem that the real 'Formula for disaster' was Thatcher and Ronald Regan's pigs in clover policies.
If it is true as the article states, that the CCP propaganda ministry has ordered journalists not to investigate this, then this is truly sickening.One way to punish those who are trying to produce the watered down milk is to force them to drink their concoction for the rest of their lives.

Deck is sagging
DH is installing deck boards and has found that 6 of the 7 the deck beams sag 3/4" at the center. The beams are 2x10 that span approximately 12'. The intermediate supports weren't installed well - they are nailed in, but there are lots of gaps.
The easiest fix would be to jack up the beams and fix the intermediate supports so that they tie in better, but we're not sure that would solve the problem. Other options are to leave the beams alone and shim the deck boards, take the beams down and flip them over, or replace the beams with 2x12's.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures of the beams:
My span tables say for a 2 x 10 joist, the max length between supports depends on the distance between joists on-center...
12" OC 19'6" max
16" OC 16'5" max
24" OC 13'4" max
The joists look wider tha 10" to me, which would be approx 9 1/4"? That's what they are?
So the next question is what is your joist spacing OC?
Are they realling sagging?
When installing joists like that they should be installed with the "crown" up. Rarely will you find a 2x lumber that isn't slightly curved towards one side. To deal with this they should be installed with this crown or bow on the top so with additional weight and time they will flatten out naturally. Did he check each board and install crown side up - if not, that is probably what you are seeing.
I wouldn't worry too much about the cross bracing, those aren't intended to and don't add load bearing capacity, they are there to keep the joists from wanting to twist.
If he doesn't have too much of the decking on those joists yet I would remove it and flip them over to put the crown side up. If that's not doable then yes you could shim under each board as needed but that is not ideal and quite frankly will be a royal pain.
They are on 16" centers, and I confirmed the 12' span. One joist is installed crown up, another is crown down. It's hard to tell about the other 5. Nothing would surprise me with the idiots that framed the house.
Some of The ends of the joists are 1/4" lower than the 2x12's they attach to - it may be that they have shrunk at a different rate.
Thanks for the span tables - I was pretty sure that I had checked that when they were installed, but couldn't remember for sure. I'll talk to DH - he was considering adding another double 2x12 to the deck to shorten the 2x10's to 6' spans. Sounds like that would be overkill.
Those span books have the material at Max before failure and they are ment for inside framing those 19'/13' spans would get strongbacks and blocking installed in a house.
Yes well installed blocking will tough up the span and with decks will take out a lot of bounse. Blocking installed like that will do nothing but add to the weight in the center of the span. All the old wood framed wharehouses had blocking or x bracing runs in the joist span to support the next story this is common Carpenter know how nothing new.
A 2x10 12' span on a deck will sag,crown up or crown down,crown up will not produce a dip in the joists it will produce a hump and no it will not flatten out naturaly it will always be there.
Fix.... take out the stupid installed blocking, carefully jack up the joist span a foot or so from center do this with a string across the top of the span. Side note>>make sure all the joist hanger holes are filled with a teko nailUsing new material reinstal the blocking in a very close manor in a stagered line so you can end nail both sides, or install x bracing this is really the best far as strength goes and is what was normal in those old wharehouses you probley have see it in a redone piza house or a weastern dance bar. Anyway it can be done with pt 1x4s and a nail gun find a leangth thats common and cut them all the same.. Just be sure the lay out stays close to right its real easy to just go on with it and change the lay out check it as you go. As you go you both will be really happy because you will feel the thing stifing up.
Keep the jacks on until your finished, let them down slowley. If the joists still have humps/dips out of tolarnace again using a string get a makita 4'' power hand planer and take out the humps.
Thats how the big boys do it but its not really all that hard and wont take all that long. J.
As usual, John nailed it. I like the idea of 1x4 bridging vs. solid blocking because the 1x4's hit at the top and bottom of the joisting. With solid blocking, often times the joist has a "cup" in it causing the block only to hit in the center and throws off the layout if there are enough of them, unless you scribe the block to the cup, but who does that? The 1x4's will give you a better center strength. Why do you see that framing in those old barns, warehouses, even old covered bridges still straight as an arrow. They used bridging! Lumber was primo in dem days as well which helps.

Can't remember there being a video game based on Greek Mythology that was good before God of War was released in 2005, I know that Crash Bandicoot 3 had a boss fight with Tiny set in the Greek/Roman period plus there was Disney's Hercules which was released on PS1, GameBoy and PC. God of War was released for the PlayStation 2 on March 22nd 2005 making it ten years since it was released and is the eleventh best-selling PlayStation 2 game of all time.
When looking at the God of War series the games themselves have a lot of memorable moments in gaming but my overall favourite game would be the first God of War. Not only the story was pretty good following the story of Kratos who is a warrior who serves the Greek gods of Olympus; when the game starts Kratos has been serving the gods for ten years. He kills the Hydra on behalf of Poseidon, but grows tired of his service and suffering. He summons Athena, who states that if Kratos performs one final act the murder of Ares and will be forgiven for killing his past mistakes. The more you play God of War more and more flashbacks will appear explaining what really happened to Kratos and his past before he became a servant to the gods.
First time playing God of War was around the same time God of War II was released in 2007 and the Official UK PlayStation 2 magazine had a demo for the first game after playing the demo I've wanted to play more of God of War than decided to get the game straight away, first time playing the game I didn't want to put the game down and also bought my 60 GB PS3 at the time which came with Resistance Fall of Man and MotorStorm ended up playing God of War more instead of playing my new games that came with the PS3. God of War was a third person action-adventure game but felt it had gameplay elements from franchises like Onimusha, Prince of Persia and Devil May Cry it did had some puzzles and platforming in as well.
What I really liked about God of War on how much blood and gore was in the game for a game based on Greek Mythology I was really impressed how SCE Santa Monica Studios kept a game this good and fresh. The button mashing you had to when it came to killing your enemies and monsters were really impressive to look at where at one point you could rip an enemy in half or drag one of the Hydra's heads to a broken ship and letting it get stabbed through the skull. Quick time events happened quite a lot as well just like Resident Evil 4 you had to keep a close eye on what would happen next and know what to do.
After God of War II was released Santa Monica Studios announced God of War III for the PlayStation 3 and a game for the PSP which was Chains of Olympus, however both God of War and II were released in HD for the PS3 with trophy support and also two years after the PS Vita was released they released God of War for the PS Vita. A movie was confirmed to be in the works since 2005 but there hasn't been a director and haven't any new information what so ever, a novel was released in 2009 the novel recounts the events of the game and offers deeper insights into its story including new characters including some stuff that wasn't in the game does get mentioned in the novel.
Did you play God of War when it was first released in 2005 and have any favourite moments?

Knee Wall Debate
My DH just gutted our bathroom. We are in a one level ranch in a small home, so the bathroom is small (1960s home). The tub he removed was built into an alcove (3 walls). To make the room appear bigger, he decided to eliminate the one wall (that also had the water supply/drain), and flip the tub around to the other wall. Now he is building, not sure of the correct term) a knee wall or half wall) to replace the one wall he removed, but we are both not sure of the height. He is thinking about the half tile around the rest of the bathroom w/cap and thinks the tile should end into that when it hits the half wall. I think that would make the half wall look too high if you consider the half tile wall is the usual 46/48" high. Is there general room of thumb what the height should be?
I think if you are still in the sorta planning stages as you build that I would reconsider the half tiled walls at 48. If you live in a house with 8' ceilings you will be cutting the room exactly in half with the tile wainscot.
Its the same as getting dressed, you don't want to wear something that 'cuts you in half'.
I think you should consider 39" all the way around if you have a 33" high vanity or you could get away with 42" if you have a 36" vanity, since I am assuming the tile is acting as backsplash behind the sink.
The tub used to be in a 3 wall alcove (2 regular walls of the room, and one added alcove wall to the ceiling). We removed the alcove wall and want to replace with a knee wall to open up the room. The plumbing was moved to the full wall. The knee wall will be on the opposite end of the plumbing side.
The knee wall could actually be very low, just above the back of the tub, if you wanted to keep things very open. Are you using an L shaped shower curtain rod or doing glass?
Not sure about the glass or rod yet. I guess with either, the knee wall could be very low. Do you think I even need anything on the knee wall end? I saw a tub with just a panel near the plumbing end, which would be nice, but not sure if the bathroom would become a wet mess. I is a 2 foot glass panel that attaches to wall next to the plumbing.
You need to stop and address your budget What you're proposing is a LOT of work and money for very little gain. You will need some type of shower curtain (cheapest) or full height glass on top of the knee wall if you don't want a flood. You're also going to have to redo all of the rest of the walls to keep the installation watertight.
All in all, this is an ill conceived idea that will cost you many headaches to accomplish and won't give you very much return.
I lived in several rentals with 1920s bathrooms and two-wall tubs. They had shower curtain rods like this:
I don't remember flooding the bathroom, and since they were 70 years old and intact, I don't think many other people flooded them either.
However, since I usually kept the shower curtain closed all the time, it didnt really add much to the overall feeling of space and light in the bathroom.
I have a bathroom with two full walls tiled to the ceiling with a hip height knee wall at the far end. I like the arrangement as it makes the bathroom feel larger than it would if I had closed the tub in with a wall on the third side, plus I don't happen to like glass shower doors.
I have a long, spacious tiled niche built into the knee wall on the tub side with a nice piece of marble as its bottom. I use it to store shampoos, raisors, etc. It's topped with a matching piece of marble with an ogee edge and on the side of the knee wall facing the bathroom is a nicely finished decorative panel above a base board that matches the one running around the room. The height is about chair rail height. We have gotten lots of compliments on it.
"very little gain"
"an ill conceived idea"
"headaches to accomplish"
"won't give you very much return"
How can this be...the 3 full wall alcove is so closed in and dark, the full wall cuts the room up. It is so more pleasing to have glass on the knee wall than a full wall.
Anyone have pictures?
Cutting down walls is expensive, especially if there are multiple stories involved and any could potentially be load bearing. Moving plumbing is VERY expensive---and sometimes impossible to do because it can't be vented properly in the new planned location. If you're lucky, you've got an accessible basement below and an empty attic above. If you're not lucky, it'll be completely impossible to do because you can't put the vent in the correct place or you'll have to jackhammer a slab. You'll have to completely redo all of the tub walls, get a new tub, and the glass will be $1K just by itself. You've just added thousands to the bathroom remodel if you DIY, plus huge headaches with the plumbing issues for a DIYer to solve. If you have to pay to have it done, it could easily add 10K+ to the remodel ticket.
I'm not arguing that it looks better and more open, but at what cost? That's the cost/benefit ratio you have to examine, and currently, the payback on expensive bath remodels is at it's lowest point in decades. Even if you can afford to put money into something simply because you'll enjoy it, how much enjoyment do you get out of creating the same exact bath, but simply in reverse? You haven't significantly affected the functionality of the room by making it larger. YOu've only done some optical illusion manipulation.
We are looking at doing about the same thing described, but live_wire_oak, you said something that worries me. We are going to be redoing the plumbing in our bathroom, and installing new pex plumbing. Right now the shower is a 3 wall plastic insert. They built a wall for the 3rd part of the insert.
We are removing that and replacing it with a knee wall.
On the back wall is were we are moving the plumbing to. The vanity and toilet are staying in the same position. Is there going to be vent issues I need to worry about?
Steph1, plan the space to accommodate the glass shower door option. If you build the space to non standard sizes, you will be forced to having a custom shower door enclosure. Custom glass is very expensive and time consuming, particularly when you are talking about knee walls. There are of the shelf products available, that provide heights and widths to build your shower spaces. Saves you tons of money.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dreamline Shower Doors
Although the kneewall is usually between 42-48" high, a house I just finished about a month ago, the GC wanted to make the kneewall shorter-- just something to end a full width bench. His thinking was it would give a more open feel to the shower being that it would be glass above, and quite frankly, I'm glad I wasn't able to talk him out if it. It looks great! This one is 30" high:

Lil Tip: Pack a Snack
by Moms
Like us on Facebook
Mamas always remember to tuck cheerios, yogurt tubes, raisins and boxed drinks into their bags for their children, but they don't necessarily think to pack a snack for themselves. For women on the move, it's important to keep some healthy munchies like dried fruit, sliced veggies, a handful of nuts or a granola bar within their reach. That way they can refuel while running errands or waiting in the carpool line.

I made the mistake of hiring this plumber to reconnect my kitchen sink and dishwasher. The plumber was in my home 5+ hrs and never did get the dishwasher working properly. The plumber was a friendly conspiracy theory type who clearly could not follow the instructions on the dishwasher installation guide. The kitchen sits over an open basements and there was easy access to the pipes. Some of the PVC joints under the sink appear used. There is a rubber boot with two clamps connecting the basement PVC to the sink PVC. After he connected the dishwasher and tried to run it the breaker kept tripping. He refused to warranty his work on the dishwasher. I hired an electrician to connect the dishwasher. It works like a charm after proper connection. I paid this plumber $874.50 for labor and materials. The itemized bill said the materials was $214.00. The total run of copper and PVC is not 3 ft. I could have done the job myself in less than two hours but I am not supposed to climb ladders which was necessary in the basement due to the height of the ceiling. So I made a bad choice and I will live with my mistake. I do not recommend any one else make my mistake.
I love this company they have been in business for 24 years and are stable. I know that when ever I need them they will be there. Thanks A Better Plumbing Service for saving the day.
thanks lisa and others for helping me and being so prompt. i will tell everyone how good i was treated.

These guys helped me trmendously with a problem at my house that two other companies in Rockdale could not solve. I met the owner volunteering at a United Way fund raising event. Nice guy! You can feel comfortable in their hands.
My mom had sewage overflowing in her basement. She is 78 years old and did not have a clue what to do. I live out of town so I had her give me a number out of the phone book. I called A Better Plumbing. They took care of the problem and made my mom happy, which made me happy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

Our shower started leaking down into our kitchen ceiling. When the guy first showed up, he said simple repair job. Once he started working he said he needed a part but didn't come in his plumbing truck (???)4 hours later, a giant hole in the ceiling, and a flooded floor b/c he forgot to turn off the water, he was nice enough to charge us over $700. And the repair wasn't even done correctly b/c a few months later I had to call another plumber out to fix the same problem. Turns out these guys used a plastic part for hot water rather than brass so that they could save a few bucks. But guess what? Plastic melts! And the new plumber (over at Plumbing Detectives) did the repair for under $300 and finish in about an hour.
We had a leaky bathtub faucet. Jason came promptly, but he walked into the bathroom and said it would cost 'big bucks' to correct the leak since the house was so old. After I told him that was not an option, he would try to find a replacement part. He left came back saying he was able to get the part. It appeared he had fixed the leak. He charged $385 but said he could not give me an itemized bill because he had run out of the forms and he wrote a statement that he would not guarantee any work he did. After he left, we discovered water was leaking into our laundry room from the bathroom in the floor above (the one he 'fixed'. We called, but he would not come back. We had to get someone else to tighten the screws he left loose on the valve to stop the water leaking into the laundry room. We still have the leak.

We had water leaking into our living room from our master shower. Plumber came out & cut 2 holes in our ceiling & could not find the source of the probelm. Within five minutes of inspecting the hole myself, I found the problem. The tiles in the shower were not sealed properly & water was leaking through a hole cut for electrical wiring between the 2 floors. Repair of the ceiling was not included.
Called and made appointment for hot water heater replacement and various leaks 3 times in 2 weeks. No show, no call back all 3 times.
We needed our water line repaired at the meter when it broke prior to the Thanksgiving holiday. I tried several plumbers who were booked. One of the plumbers recommended A Better Plumbing Service. The customer representative was very polite. The plumber called to confirm our appointment and arrived within 10 minutes of the time. The work was done quickly and correctly and I was charged the rate that I had been quoted on the phone. This was a very professional job.
