Help With Pine Flooring?
Hi all! My house was built in the late 1940s. The kitchen was added on to at some point in the 1950s, and underneath several layers of terrible vinyl flooring is a very nice 4x1 pine tongue and groove floor. This is not the subfloor - it is on top of the subfloor, but most of it has never been stained or finished at all. I was so excited to find it!
The problem is that after taking a wall down, I have a small portion where the pine is missing. Is there any way to get matching flooring to fill in? I have checked with my local architectural salvage, but they seem to only have oak flooring.
The missing section is about 6 inches by 7 feet. The boards, of course, run perpendicular to missing slice. The guy doing my floor says that if I can find more boards, he can move the old boards so that it looks like they belong. But where can I find the boards? I am not sure what kind of pine I have - I am in the South East and the guy just said they were "pine". The rest of the house has 2 1/2" boards, so I can't take any out of a closet. I might could remove some wood from underneath where my cabinets will go...would that work? The guy didn't seem to like that idea.
Please give me any advice you may have! I'd love to be able to finish these floors. Thanks in advance!
I'm surprised you can't find any pine flooring salvage in the SE! :) I have actually used new lumber cut to spec for similar problems (moldings, trim, etc) - cost was not too bad either. If you have a lumber yard that does custom work they can cut a piece of pine for you in the right length and width, with tongue and groove. You could probably even take them a picture of your current floor so they can see if it is heart pine or whathaveyou. The trick would then be to stain it to match the other boards. You might not get a perfect match, but for me this is part of the charm of an old house. Good luck! :)
There are companies in every state in the southeast that sell reclaimed pine. You don't say where you are, but if you google "heart pine" and your city/state, you should be able to find them. You may not have heart pine, but the companies usually sell varying grades of lumber.
I just had to buy some southern heart pine to repair some damaged areas in my 1912 colonial revival. The company was local, so they sent someone over to determine the grade that would match best. It worked out to about $9/sq ft, but they had a minimum order of 30 sq ft. I didn't need that much, but now I'll have extra to make thresholds etc or do future repairs.
If your house was built in the 1940's it's doubtful that the floors are heart pine; that species was pretty much extinct before 1900 although it's possible the house was built with old stock. The easiest way to tell if it's heart pine is to sand a small area down to bare wood & wet with turpentine (or water). Heart pine will turn a very distinct red while other pines will remain the original color.
You probably have southern yellow pine. That species is hard enough for flooring, northern pine tends to be softer.
I am thinking that it is yellow pine. The more gunky linoleum that comes off, the more yellow it looks. I have two boards so far that have turned red when wet, but maybe that is just a fluke.
I did find a guy who said that he can make replacement boards for my hole, however, I have to get a piece out to bring to him to match. Any ideas for the best way to do that? Or any ideas on getting the nasty linoleum to come off, other than chipping it off slowly?
Hi Mary,
I asked about shifting so the problem is under the cabinets, but they didn't seem to think that would work at all. I'm really not sure why.
The rest of the house has a completely different wood in a smaller board size.
I think I've found someone who can make me some new boards (does this sound odd? He thinks he can make them match), I just have to get a piece of the flooring OUT so he can match it. And I'm still struggling with the awful linoleum. Yuck!
Thanks for the ideas!

A very quaint spot in a quiet neighborhood. Our host was available to us as needed and very responsive to our requests. Thank you for a an effortless trip!
John was a great host. Check in was very easy and the place was great when I arrived. Really nice and clean apartment, looks better than the pictures. He even went out of his way to save a spot for my car due to the crowdedness from the St. Patricks Day parade. The location is great, located right in Hillcrest with a bunch of good eateries and bars on 5th ave. The walk downtown was really pleasant and easy also. And two blocks away there's an awesome suspension bridge that you should check out if you stay here. Would definitely stay again.
John was available when we arrived and everything was ready for us. He and his wife were gracious hosts. We look forward to staying at this location on our next trip to San Diego.
John communicated well and gave us check-in instructions well before our arrival. The apartment was small but cosy. Beds were OK, a bit soft for a big guy like me but not at all a problem. Since we had rain and cold weather during our stay the cottage got a bit cold (John offered a second heater). The kitchen was well equipped and the location was very convenient close to restaurants in Hillcrest, Balboa Park and downtown. If we come back to San Diego we would gladly stay here again.
John was very responsive and accommodating for our short trip. His place was cozy and pet friendly. Location was nice with a good amount of street parking.
John's place is exactly as described. In a nice location with a really cool local market nearby where I picked up some blood oranges in the morning (about 4 blocks away).
No problems at all. Bed was comfortable. John was accommodating with check-in/check-out which I appreciate.
Pleasant experience overall.
I am originally from the UK. My wife is a nitve san diegan, but has strong Irish ties. We are both teachers heading towards retirement. We love the San diego restaurents and our two small daogs.

By Juhina & Farah 08 Dec 2011
This book is the sixth book of the Diary of A Wimpy Kid series. I'm 15 years old, and im proud to say i own all books, and i absolutely love each and every one of them! I was so excited to read this one, but i might have been a bit disappointed.
First of all, all of the series is a fun-fast read. They are all really funny, and even Juhina, yes Juhina, my 21 year old sister, loves them too. I felt like this book wasn't as funny as the first five. I just felt like it lacked the Greg spark, that always seemed to make the book hilarious. I guess there wasn't much funny interactions with his mom and dad and lil brother manny, which i loved reading about.
There isn't much to write about this book, since half of the book is pictures. So i really hope the next book will be funnier than this one.

Letter from parents of Cooperstown suicide victim
On Thursday, November 4th we lost our daughter Cassidy to suicide. As a family we feel it is important to share our thoughts and to reach out to help others who may be struggling with depression and anxiety as our daughter did. We want the community to know that it is important to learn more about depression as well as the warning signs and risk factors that may lead to suicide. Depression is the leading cause of suicide and is the most treatable of all mood disorders.

'Beowulf' Series in the Works at Syfy
"1408's" Matt Greenberg will pen the project for the network via Universal Cable Productions.
Syfy is prepping to explore one of the oldest poems in literature.
The network is teaming with 1408 writer Matt Greenberg to adapt Beowulf, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The development project, from Universal Cable Productions, is described as an adaptation of the classic epic poem that further examines the hero's rise to power and his feud with the monster Grendel.
Universal Cable Productions and Omnifilm Entertainment will co-distribute the project, with the latter serving as the production company on the drama. Brian Hamilton, Michael Chechik, Matt Greenberg, Andrew Cosby and Paulo de Oliveira are on board to executive produce.
The Old English poem, which is cited as one of the most important works in literature, originated between the 8th and 11th century. Beowulf was previously adapted for the big screen in 2007 with Robert Zemeckis' animated take starring Robin Wright and Anthony Hopkins. The feature grossed $191 million worldwide.
Previous takes have included 2007's Grendel, Syfy's TV movie; and 2005's Beowulf & Grendel, with Gerard Butler, among others.
Beowulf comes as Syfy is also prepping a take on Brad Pitt-Bruce Willis feature 12 Monkeys, which recently began casting, and Dominion, a take on 2010 feature Legion. The project joins a development slate that also includes a Jamie Foxx horror anthology series, Bryan Fuller's High Moon and Gale Anne Hurd's Hunters, among others.

AL Boy Rescued From Underground Bunker, Suspect Dead [VIDEO]
Law enforcement confirms a five year-old Alabama boy who has been held hostage in an underground bunker for nearly a week after being abducted from a school bus, is free and his hostage taker is dead.
FOX News Radio's Eben Brown reports:
Audio clip:
The bizarre hostage situation in Midland City, Alabama where a gunman kept this five year-old boy in an underground bunker is in fact over, says Special Agent Steve Richardson of the FBI:
Richardson: "The child appears physically unharmed, and is being treated at a local hospital. The subject is deceased."
The boy had been in that bunker with the gunman Jimmy Lee Dykes since last Tuesday. Law enforcement says negotiations broke down this afternoon and when they noticed Dykes holding a weapon again, they decided to go in.
Eben Brown, FOX News Radio.
Editor's Note: Dykes fatally shot the school bus driver when he abducted the boy last week.
Watch the VIDEO below for more details on how Law Enforcement rescued the boy:

Moving to a new location has never been easier. You or your spouse takes a new job across the country, and you soon find yourself without any help on the home front. Raising children takes a village, and when you move away from your support system you have to make a few changes to survive.
My parents moved six hours away when my oldest child was two months old. They were never the babysitting type of grandparents, but it would have been nice to have them closer. My husband's family lives about 15 hours away. As a result, my husband and I have had to form our own village. We need the support, and we are willing to offer the same support to our network of friends. So how do you survive without a village? You make one. Here are a few things we implemented after our village moved away.
We quickly realized that we needed a network of friends. We didn't have friends that we could rely on to watch our children or socialize with regularly. It takes time to form lasting and trusting friendships. If you want friends then you must be friendly. Offer to watch your friends' children one afternoon, go on a double date, and listen to what your friends have to say. No one wants to help someone that never reciprocates. Having a network of friends is the best way to build a new village. Treasure your friendships, and you will never be without a village.
Get Out
Scheduling a regular date night with your spouse, is priority. Your marriage will be strained if you two are the only ones in your village. Taking regular date nights without the kids is important to maintaining your love for one another. If you can't find a babysitter, then have a date night at home.
You will also need to pencil in some girl time for yourself, and some guy time for your man. We need to get away and discuss grown up stuff with our friends. Play dates are great, but you need time to talk without little ones yelling right next to you.
Mother's Day Out/Preschool
If you have a wonderful preschool or mother's day out program near you, then take advantage of the opportunity. This will give you time to go grocery shopping, run errands, or have some down time. When grandma and grandpa aren't around to watch the kiddos, then you may need to spend the money on a quality childcare facility.
You Make the Rules
As the manager of the home, you make the rules. Sometimes as parents we forget that we have the power to make and enforce the rules. You don't have to go about your day like a worker on an assembly line that has no say in what goes on within the company. Set a schedule for your children and yourself to follow. You know your house best, and you can make the rules. If you decide that every Monday is laundry day and every Friday is ice cream day, then fabulous work. Bedtime should be at the same time every night. Your children need to know the rules and what is expected. When you decide what the rules should be, your house can start to run smoother. A well oiled machine causes less stress on the family.
Purging is a wonderful thing. Get rid of things that you don't use and that your children don't use. Hold a garage sale, donate your unwanted items, and throw away broken things. Streamline your grocery shopping, chores, and schedule. When you have less stuff to put away, the more time you will have for what is important.
Limit Commitments
When you are running low on villagers, limit your commitments to activities outside the home. You are only one person, and there are still only 24 hours in each day. It's so easy to get sucked in to doing everything that all of your friends, neighbors, and community are telling you that you need to do. You have permission to say no! Decide what is important to you and your family. Set a limit for yourself and stick to it.
Join a Group
What are you interested in? Look up your local meet-up groups and sign up to join a play date group, a special interest group, or MOPS. These groups are a great way to meet new people and form lasting friendships. You automatically have something in common with the members of the groups you join.
One of the biggest hurdles is finding a quality and available babysitter. Ask other parents for a referral, check out babysitting websites, and ask your children's workers at church if they know of anyone that is looking to babysit. As a parent, you need to be picky about who watches your children. Don't be afraid to ask for references. Once you find a great babysitter, your life will be changed forever.
Forming a new village takes time, but the work will pay off. Don't be discouraged if you are moving to a new place. Start building your network of friends, and before long you will have a new village.

As a Parent, Are You Ready to Potty Train Your Child?
You know those people that analyze and collect data before making a decision? That's me! I must have a solid plan, and prepare myself for the task ahead. If you are having doubts about your preparedness for potty training, you are not alone. In my eBook, Potty Training With Less Mess and Less Stress, I point out a few things each parent should consider before embarking on the journey of potty training.
1. Is there a major holiday around the time you are potty training? Wait until the holiday or vacation is over before potty training. It will be less stressful on you and your child.
2. Have all of the supplies for potty training before you begin. You do not want to take your child to the store the first day because you forgot to buy stickers.
3. Mark a date on the calendar to begin, and plan out potty training in advance. You will be prepared and can start talking to your child about becoming a big boy and using the potty. Talk enthusiastically to your child about potty training. Show him the big boy potty and training pants, and get him excited about wearing big boy underwear.
4. Schedule a break or two for yourself. There will be days when your child just doesn't get it, and you will become frustrated. Plan a break for yourself, and put it on the calendar. Ask your spouse, a friend, or family member to take over on potty training duty for a couple of hours. Take time to relax and do whatever you want to do. This will allow you to recharge your batteries so you don't blow up in your toddler's face.
5. Pray before you start potty training. I was dreading potty training so much that it turned my stomach into knots. After all the research and planning I had done, I still needed to pray. I prayed that my child would understand the potty training, that he wouldn't make too many messes, that I would have the patience needed to train him, and that he would learn quickly. You may think it's silly to ask God for these things, but He really does care.
Would you add anything to the list? For more information, tips, and encouragement on potty training, check out my eBook. Potty Training With Less Mess and Less Stress is available now!

Making Your House Feel Like a Home
When you move into a house that someone else has lived in, it can fell like temporary housing. It can take months or even longer to feel like you belong in that house. Adding a few personal touches to your house can make it feel like home almost immediately.
Change out the toilet seats
Okay, this might sound like I'm being picky, but I really like having a new seat for each bathroom.
PaintA little paint can go a long way. If you are able to paint before moving in, this will help the house feel like home even sooner.
An initial wreath
Place a decorative element on the front door. Every time you come home you will be greeted by something personal and pretty.
Add curtains to as many rooms as you want. They will add a soft and welcoming touch to each room.
Get rid of all the boxes
It never fails, when you move there are always things left in boxes. Find a place for everything. If you don't use it, then donate it or throw it away. Getting rid of all the boxes will feel like you are settled in your home.

Hang artwork and pictures on the walls
The most visible way to make a house a home is to add artwork and family photographs to the walls. Surrounding yourself with your things and the people you love will give your home a personal and welcoming touch.

Home Office Makeover
The home office is used every day, and when we moved in our house it was in need of some major help. The walls were a weird mint green color, and the only thing going for it was the amazing southern exposure sunlight streaming through the blinds.
I wanted to use a souvenir from our honeymoon as a jumping off point for decorating the office. It has never held a special location in any of our homes. The vase was made by a Native American tribe in the Smoky Mountains. I know they probably make a million of these vases, but it has always held a special place in my heart.
The office must have been a playroom in another life. It was the only way to explain the green paint and rolling hills painted on the angled walls.
The office now serves as a work place for my writing, my husband's at home consulting job, craft room, sewing room, and art room.
We painted the walls a welcoming gray and left the ceiling white. I didn't want the room to feel like a cave, and leaving the ceiling white made a big difference. The walls and furniture are on the darker side, but the curtains are the splash of color that the office needs. It took forever to find orange curtains that didn't look like they belonged in a motel. (Curtains were in store only at Target)
The office is the only room in the house that has a contemporary feel to it, and I wanted to add industrial lamps to complete the look. The lamps are from Ikea.
I needed storage for all of my craft and sewing supplies, and this white cabinet works splendidly. It also doubles as a sitting area. The chair belonged to my mother, and I love that it matches everything in the office.
The door is just to the right in this picture. My sewing machine and sewing supplies fit perfectly within this space.
As you walk into the office the easel and the painting my mother made greets you at the door. Our bookshelf is filled with just books. I know you are supposed to arrange the bookshelf with other objects, but we have too many books. The stamps are from my collection, and the antlers are Kevin's. Since we share an office, I wanted to add some masculine touches for him and some feminine elements for me.
This little clock from Brighton was also my mother's. A girl needs a little bling on her desk.
The vase from our honeymoon sits front and center on the bookshelf. After thirteen years of marriage it finally has a place to call home.
Our office is the first of many rooms that will receive makeovers in our home. It had quiet the transformation, and now I look forward to working in our new office. I already have the next project in my sights, and I'll share it with you soon.

Making Life Easier: The Nightly Routine
As I get older the more I realize how little I know. I also realize how much I know, but don't put into practice. With three children ages six and under, a freelance writing business, wife to a wonderful hubby, and homemaker, I need to make things easier on myself.
I've always heard that you need to wake up early before your children to get the most out of every day. Well, guess what! It's few and far between that all three of my children sleep through the night. Usually when the morning people are starting their day, I am getting to the second stage of my sleep cycle. I don't know that REM sleep really exists. This post isn't about my lack of sleep, but trying to make the hours I'm awake less stressful.
Maya Angelou stated, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." Let's get started with what we can change.
The Night Before To Do List
1. Pick out and iron my clothes and kids' clothes for the next day
2. Work out and shower
3. Make next day's lunch
4. If frozen, put the next night's dinner in the fridge to thaw.
5. Write (workout and writing nights will alternate)
That's it! We shouldn't load our evenings down with a huge to do list. We'll see how adding these few things to the end of the day routine changes our lives. Will it make it easier? I'm all for less stress in my life, and I bet you are too. What changes will you make to your nightly routine?

Interview with Party Planner Berkley Berry
Party planning is near and dear to my heart. The smiles you see when a surprise party is pulled off without a hitch, the decorations that bring a party to life, and the pure joy parties can bring to people is why celebrations will continue on for generations. Berkley Berry is one of those people that brings joy to all of her clients. She is a professional party planner and co-owner of Parties on the Porch. Don't you just love the name of her business? It makes me want a big glass of sweet tea and invite everyone over for brunch. I hope you enjoy the interview and great words of advice from Berkely.
Please tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Berkley Berry and I'm a native Texan who grew up in the Dallas area, went to Texas Tech, and eventually made my way back to the metroplex. After college, I had the privilege of working with many families as a speech-language pathologist for over 15 years before I had my daughter, Riley, and became a stay at home mama. I've always loved planning, hosting, and throwing all kinds of parties so knew this was a great next step for me as I juggle being a wife, mom, daughter, and friend. My husband, Ronnie, and I enjoy lots of sporting events and cheer for the Red Raiders, Cowboys, Mavs, and Rangers. We are big fans of Cabo and our church. Mainly, we just love hanging out with our daughter while watching her become her little self!
What made you decide to be a party planner?
While I always enjoyed planning parties, it was more of a hobby until Parties on the Porch was officially underway! With the support of my husband and a great business partner, I've been able to make this a real world adventure. I love everything about parties: the planning, the coordinating, the creativity, the preparation, the event itself, and the guests' reactions. I appreciate a good party with a good theme! It's something I knew would make me happy and that I could do for years to come.
Did motherhood influence your decision to start your own business?
It actually did due to the fact that I couldn't continue my previous profession and be home with our daughter. Starting Parties on the Porch allowed the best of both worlds - to be at home with my little one while still doing something I love. It gives me my creative outlet and allows some adult interaction, both of which are always welcome! I can do my work during nap and after bedtime and still be Mom during the rest of the day. Win-win!
What is it like having a business partner?
I love having a business partner! Kelly is a successful business owner and is wonderful to bounce ideas off of. We can struggle with something and just need to have a quick discussion to talk it through and find an answer. It's great not to have to do it alone! We might not always agree 100% but we always agree to do what's best for the business, for our clients, and the future. We like to aim high!
What is the most rewarding thing about owning your own business? What do you struggle with as a small business owner?
Hands down, seeing the smiles of the clients and their guests. We are still a fairly new business so there are struggles in finding our niche as well as being sure we balance work and family time.
Tell us about the most memorable party you have planned?
Every time we do a party, I think it is my favorite! I loved our art party because the guests had a great time creating their "masterpiece" and at our spa party because the girls thought they were in heaven!
What advice would you give a mom who wants to start a party planning business?Think of a service you would purchase, that your friends would purchase and that you would love doing every day then go for it! You never know til you try!
Thank you, Berkley for stopping by today! Parties on the Porch is offering a special of $250 off their party package if you book before April 15th. Wow! Contact them today to reserve your party date and discount!

Add an additional sensor
selvan777May 24, 2007
I have a Craftsman 1/2 horse model 139.53962SRT.
I've found it extremely useful having the sensor raised to match the furthest point point on the car so the door will not close if the car is in the way.
But now with little ones running around I'm putting back to it's proper location but would like to know if I can add another for the car, perhaps even by aliening a couple mirrors.
Any thoughts or remedies to protect the car without the string and ball trick and/or stoppers placed on the floor would be appreciated.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
When work puts you in the line of fire
Front-desk clerks, gas jockeys at risk for violent attacks
Having two disguised men threaten your staff with a gun and hit them with a hammer served as a wake-up call.
But Gil Gauthier, owner of the Norvilla Motor Hotel, knows an armed robbery early one morning last August could have been much worse for the cleaner and desk clerk on duty at the time.
Gauthier said the crime led the Henderson Highway hotel to make security changes to an alarm the clerk carries, so he's "wired up." The hotel also adopted a policy to keep doors locked in the early-morning hours, and it changed how much cash is around at night.
"It really hurts when you come to work and you know that your employee who is taking care of your business gets held up and gets knocked over the head with a hammer and a gun gets pulled on him," he said. "It gets you thinking about how you're going to protect your employees better."
From 2006 to 2010, service workers such as cashiers, bartenders, janitors and light-duty cleaners all have taken time off work due to injuries from assaults and violence, according to statistics from the Workers Compensation Board. That also extends to workers such as cooks, delivery and courier drivers, grocery store clerks and stockers.
This is the fourth and final piece in a Free Press series looking at how violence impacts workers in areas such as health care, education and public safety and security.
Gauthier said the clerk, a longtime employee, was back at work the next day.
He's grateful neither man was seriously hurt. "Out of that particular event, we got off lucky," said Gauthier. "(The thieves) could have shot these two guys, no doubt about it."
The two thieves, who wore balaclavas, got away with cash.
He said the money is what put the clerk at risk. The cleaner was "at the wrong spot" when the robbery happened, he said, and was alerted to what happened while he tidied up the bar.
"The desk clerk is handling money...like 7-Elevens, gas stations, gas bars, whenever there's that cash element, they're at risk," he said. The thieves haven't been arrested to this day, as far as Gauthier knows.
But there's been a lasting lesson.
"If you see somebody that you suspect is up to no good, just call the police or press the panic button and that'll fire up the alarms," said Gauthier.
Danger pay:
The fourth in a Free Press series on violence at work focuses on employees in the service industry. The following statistics show the number of employees who reported being victims of violence in a four-year period:
Retail salespersons and sales clerks: 20
Retail trade managers: 7
Cashiers: 7
Light-duty cleaners: 6
Hotel front-desk clerks: 6
Bartenders: 5
Janitors, caretakers and building superintendents: 5
Grocery clerks and store-shelf stockers: 5
Cooks: 4
Other selected occupations: Journalist (1), funeral director/embalmer (1), psychologist (1)
