Bag Borrow or Steal Goes Mobile
Seattle-based Bag Borrow or Steal, the luxury handbag and accessory rental service which is run by Russell Blain, has launched a new mobile site, the company announced Monday. The firm said the new site makes it easier for customers to use the service while on the go, and is part of a revamping of the service it has implemented this year. Those other changes include removal of the firm's membership fee, the automatic inclusion of insurance with rentals, and free shipping. Bag Borrow or Steal offers high end, designer handbag, jewelry, watches, and sunglasses to members.

Published : Tuesday, 19 Jan 2010, 12:57 PM PST
Los Angeles - The National Weather Service has issued tornado warnings for South Central Los Angeles County and Orange County as a severe thunderstorm moves ashore.
The warnings will continue until 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. They cover South Central Los Angeles County, including Long Beach, and several Orange County cities such as Anaheim, Irvine and Santa Ana.

Dark Souls is the follow-up title to the popular underdog Demon's Souls from the creators From Software. Just like Demon's Souls, Dark Souls sets out to set a challenge, and really sticks to that goal. Everyone's experience differs, some find this game impossible, where as others fight and smash their way through enemies with ease.


text: Despite the fact he looks homeless most of the time himself, Russell Brand is not homeless, just enjoys wearing the same clothes and shoes everyday. Yesterday morning, Russell stopped to talk to the group of homeless people that hang out by his place hoping for one of his generous handouts when he decided to take them all to breakfast. That was pretty decent of him. It is one thing to give money to someone and walk away and then feel good about your good deed while forgetting the person almost the instant you pass them by, but to actually interact with homeless people and take them to breakfast and converse with them. That is the next level and as much as Russell can rub me the wrong way for lots of things, I admit he is very very generous to homeless people on a regular basis and if I was homeless I would go camp out in front of his place too.

The winner of the Gordon Ramsay Scholar college title 2003, held at the award-winning chef's Petrus restaurant in central London on Sunday, will receive £1,000 and the chance to work in a top kitchen in France.
But the student chefs, five of whom are still in their teens, will have just two and a half hours to create a two-course meal from an unknown range of nearly 50 different ingredients.
"With such a vast array of ingredients it can be tempting to use too many and spoil the overall dish," he said.
"It will be a real test for a young chef and I am looking for that special one who has ambition and desire combined with talent."
The winner in the college chef category will also be entered as a "wild card" for the grand final of Ramsay's overall national competition.

How To: Defend Yourself Against A Dog
Responsible owners, and non-owners, must prepare themselves with defense techniques in the event that man's best friend decides to attack. I'm not trying to demonize the species, but everyone who shares their home with a four-legged friend should know how to diffuse an attack situation calmly and effectively with minimal injury to both man and dog. Here are some tips on how to defend yourself when a dog attacks.
Avoid the attackIt has been said that prevention is better than a cure, so before you find out how to defend yourself from a dog attack, it's important to look at ways you can avoid one completely. After all, who wants to wrestle with a four-legged beast when, with a few simple tricks, you could send him packing?
Initially, avoid intruding on a dog's territory. No matter how ignorant you're willing to be about their characteristics, dogs are one of the most territorial animals on earth, and will lash out if they think you're moving in on their turf. In this instance, never approach an unattended dog; odds are that the dog has marked his patch and, invariably, you'll be stepping on it. If this happens, slowly edge out of the dog's personal space, and don't make any sudden movements to suggest that you're a threat.
Secondly, make sure that the dog knows who you are before attempting to handle him. Move carefully toward the animal and allow him to sniff you. Many dogs attack on reflex because they have been crept up on. Establish your presence, make friends with the dog, and avoid this common pitfall.
Thirdly, don't tease a dog or get him excited; let sleeping dogs lie — literally — and avoid a snarling, eating or nursing dog. Dogs that have just become mothers are particularly on guard; exercise extreme caution in her presence.
Heed the warning signsYou know when an angry guy in a bar is about to throw down. Why should a dog be any different? Suss the telltale signs of an impending attack and get out while you can — with your limbs still intact.
Growling is typically the first sign that a dog is likely to attack. In addition, if the dog is drooling from the mouth, and his eyes are wild with rage, you can pretty much assume that man's best friend isn't in the best of moods. A dog's body functions in a similar way to a human's, in that it can be used to identify his mood and emotions. Check to see if his body is tense, his hackles (the area between his shoulders and tail) are up, his ears are erect, and if his tail is held high and wagging faster than normal. If the signs don't sit well, you might want to get out of Dodge.

Load Bearing Wall or not??
Can anyone help me identify if this is a load bearing wall? On the other side are the stairs down to our basement. It is very tight coming down the stairs the whole way, and i'd like to open it up by cutting out the wall about 70 inches from the left side of these pictures, and put in a bannister. Obviously, the door would go, and then the upper portion of the wall to the right of the door. I believe it is NOT a load bearing wall, since there is a 'float' at the floor. The thing that is making me think twice is that the joists above the staiway are not I-beams, like the rest of the floor. You can kind of see this in the pictures below.
Any input much appreciated!!!
See, it's a floating wall, so not load bearing, right???:huh:
No big headers above the door. But the Joist is so thick?
Here you can see the different type of joists.
No, it is not. The clue that is most evident is: Newer house, and the fact that there is no header installed over the door.
Add: The further investigation; everything else in your pics clearly show that it is not load bearing.
(FWIW-This is why pictures help so far above an attempt to describe with words)
That clearly looks like a stair-well (with an ''attempt' at fire blocking?) ...that makes up what is simply a partition wall. (To me: Looks like a stair well leading from 1st floor to basement...am I right?)
Am i right in thinking that the only reason that the joist directly obove this partition was is solid wood, and not an I-beam like the rest is just because there's sheetrock screwed into it on the other side? (Finished area on the other side of the wall.)
In a traditional staircase the perimeter is framed out with double 2x8 0r 10" dimensional wood. Since the 2x material ends over the doorway I would think you would need support in the corner by the door. The rectangular box needs support at all four corners unless the wood goes all the way to the wall and/or the wood is sized for the span unsupported.

Carsoft - Any good?
I am thinking of getting diagnostic software. Is Carsoft any good? Are there better?
Is it easy to use / accurate / well supported by vendor? Opinions from users please.
DIS or EASY DIS is far superior. Its a little harder to setup at first, but there are many online forums (and videos on youtube) describing the exact steps that you need to take. Once installed, it stays installed.
The diagnostic connectors etc can be purchased off ebay for between $50-$150. References to which work and which don't are also found on those other forums.
It would be a good idea to get a car charger for your laptop as well.
And you need to check if your modern USB-port-only laptop can function with the diagnostic connectors. They may not, without the use of adaptors. Again, there are forums and threads on this in detail.
Actually, I have a link :
It seems mindboggling but if you are patient, it will become clear. The key thing about easy dis is that it was originally built to run on a Unix machine. So, if you are using a windows or mac laptop, you'll need to first create an artificial unix environment, and then install dis into that environment. It sounds confusing but its not when they explain the big picture to you (which many online forums don't, hence my exhortation to your patience).
Carsoft is garbage, the setup described above is garbage as well unless you can get your hands on a proper laptop that matches specs to the point.
Otherwise have fun having horrible feedback/unstable setup and reinstalling it every few weeks. Major PITA.
In short, if you're not a pioneer for something, and you have screwed it up, then its quite likely that you've not done sufficient research to prepare yourself.
The most effective mantra when approaching such situations seems to be "no pressure, no pressure. "
2. Ediabas inpa ? I've looked through the forums and youtube links and am in the process of acquiring the hardware. Everything should be up and running by the end of November. I am familiar enough to know that its not usually well explained on the forums (someone here had to tell me about the different computing environments explicitly, whereas something as important as this for the 'big picture' aspect of the thing, should be clearly stated on the forums by people doing the writeups but they don't), hence my exhortation to be very patient when approaching this the installation.
I might post a writeup about it if I find the process to be vastly simpler once understood than how it is usually described online.
Okay let me know once you get GT1 working, I will check back in 2015.
I will read results B 4 getting my money out.

Bookends (2000)
by Jane Green
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Great story of friendships and keeping them as our lives change.
Good "chick lit" set in London. Story revolves around a group of college friends and their lives after several years on their own. I enjoyed it.
This book felt a little long and I kind of felt like I lived a year in the life of the characters, day by day, but overall the story was good and I enjoyed it.
Nice read. I enjoyed this book, the story brought me in immediately.
I liked the whole idea of a novel centered around opening a bookstore/cafe and going for your dreams, but I didn't feel that aspect was central enough, or full enough of suspense and conflict. The good aspects of the book makes me wish I could rate this a tad higher, but it couldn't hold me to the end. I felt I had read this book dozens of times before. This was better written than most chicklit (which isn't high praise), with a heroine that was relatable--not size 0, not born with a silver spoon and not too-stupid-to-live. I did enjoy the English setting and voice.
Though this is narrated first person by Catherine Warner, this had an unusually ensemble feel to it, since it's about five friends: Catherine herself, Portia, Simon and Josh who she met in university, and Josh's wife Lucy who is her business partner. Actually, that may have been one of the weaknesses, that the first person voice wasn't the best way to tell the story of this group of friends. And too often--which is also too often a danger of a weak first person--too much is told, not shown, sometimes dragging, sometimes running through events without developing so that pacing was also a problem.
Not a problem you tend to notice much because it's really a quick read. A good light airplane/beach read if you're drawn to chicklit, but nothing here makes me want to try more of the author. If many chicklits are tired soap operas, this was far too much of a cliche sitcom.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0767907817, Paperback)Bookends, Jane Green's third comic novel of contemporary love and lust, proves beyond a doubt that when it comes to light reading, plot is everything. Bookends makes a great case study because it has little going for it besides plot. Dialogue? Stilted. Characters? Clichéd. Writing style? Sloppy. And yet the book is well-nigh impossible to put down. A few friends meet at university: Simon, the chirpy gay character; Portia, the glamour girl; Josh, the adorable, unpretentious catch; and Cath, the overweight, insecure narrator. Portia strays from their crowd, but the other three remain friends into their 30s. Now successful Londoners, each faces a personal crisis: singleton Cath leaves a secure job to start a bookstore; Simon looks for love; Josh's marriage goes through growing pains. And then Portia, as intimidating and elegant as ever, wanders back into their lives--with surprising results. Green is a past master of the ugly-duckling-turned-swan story. Cath's transformation--neatly echoed by the changes in the lives of her friends--is completely addictive. Plot does indeed rule. --Claire Dederer
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:57 -0400)
"Catherine Warner and Simon Nelson are best friends: total opposites, always together, and both unlucky in love. Cath is scatterbrained, messy, and - since she had her heart broken a few years back - emotionally closed off. Si is impossibly tidy, bitchy, and desperate for a man of his own. They live in London's West Hampstead along with their lifelong friends Josh and Lucy, who are happily married with a devil-spawn child and a terrifying Swedish nanny, Ingrid." "All's well (sort of) until the sudden arrival of a college friend - the stunningly beautiful Portia, who's known for breaking hearts. Though they've grown up and grown apart from Portia, the four friends welcome her back into the fold. But does Portia have a hidden agenda or is she merely looking to reconnect with old friends? Her reappearance soon unleashes a rollicking series of events that tests the foursome's friendships to the limit and leaves them wondering if a happy ending is in store."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

text: Posted February 21, 2011 My cousin was talking with Sal Sunseri (former Panthers defensive line coach from 2002-2008, current Alabama linebackers coach, SI's 2011 recruiter of the year) and he said that Cam Newton is the best football player he's ever seen. He was more worried about him than he was worried about Michael Vick when Vick was shredding the Panthers for that stretch of time. I already had Cam Newton and AJ Green right there for who I wanted at #1, but this solidified it for me. So long as he has a great combine as expected, the list of reasons why we should pick someone else over Newton at #1 will diminish to basically zero. He has the potential to be a franchise-saving player that's going to be like a defibrillator for everyone: front office, team, fans, etc. So anyway, I put a lot of stock into what Sal Sunseri says. He's seen the best and has no reason to prop someone from Auburn of all places, especially not to my cousin. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"These two dozen essays, written by leading experts in the field, provide a thorough and definitive overview of how offshoring and global employment are related in both developed and developing regions. It provides a both comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the potent drivers of global economic activities and their consequences. This is an invaluable book for both the layperson and the academic who want to learn more about globalization."Clair Brown, Professor of Economics and Director, Center for Work, Technology, and Society, University of California, Berkeley
"Everything you want to know about offshoringand more. With chapters on 20 countries and the EU in its entirety and using many different data sets and analytic techniques, this book is an education in how modern global economies function and interact as seen through the lens of offshoring and labor. Whether you are an expert or novice in the economics of offshoring, trade, labor, or development, you will learn a lot about what economics knows and needs to know about this important aspect of globalization. Guaranteed by the Invisible Hand."Richard Freeman, Herbert Ascherman Professor of Economics, Harvard University
"I commend the volume editors for their vision across countries, sectors, and methodologies. It is truly a global approach to understanding globalization. The breadth of coverage by country, sector, and perspective is remarkable. At a minimum, breaking away from the United States-centric studies to a wide range of developed, emerging, and developing economies is an accomplishment on its own. But the volume is so much morefrom theory to policy and especially the careful country detail. Readers looking for an introduction to the issues, in all their breadth, will find that in this volume. Similarly, readers interested in focused depth will be pleased with what they encounter. The book takes and deserves careful reading. It will be a 'go-to' as the benefits and costs of globalization debate continues."Lori G. Kletzer, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty, Professor of Economics, Colby College
"This Handbook offers the most authoritative and comprehensive look at the fast changing contours of global employment available today. Scholars from around the world provide empirical insights and theoretical clarity into the often-politicized discussions of offshoring and globalizationincluding detailed case studies from more than fifteen countries. This will be an invaluable resource for both teaching and scholarship."AnnaLee Saxenian, Dean and Professor, UC Berkeley School of Information
"A truly invaluable resource for all interested in the location and evolution of modern manufacturing."John Zysman, Professor, Department of Political Science and Co-Director, Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy, University of California, Berkeley

Junior Renee Lettow led Canisius with 15 kills in the match to go along with eight digs. Freshman Samantha Good had 13 kills and five blocks while Michelle Godfrey and Danielle Brawn each had eight kills. Sophomore Janelle Davis had 40 assists and nine digs while freshman Allyson Severyn led the Griffs with 20 digs.
"Today was a great team effort against a solid, top team in our conference," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "We need to play with that type of perseverance in all of our conference matches, not just against a top team in its home gym."
Loyola won the opening three points of the fifth set before Canisius responded by winning the next three points, tying the score on back-to-back aces from Lettow. Loyola built an 8-5 before Canisius rattled off the eight straight points, which included two service aces from Brawn. The Griffs went up 14-10 on a kill from Lettow before Loyola cut the lead to 14-12, but a Greyhounds service error ended the match.
Canisius broke open the first set early, scoring four straight points, which included two kills from Godfrey with the score tied at 5-5 to open up a 9-5 lead. Loyola cut the lead to three points on two separate occasions, but the Griffs never let the Greyhounds get any closer.
Loyola (9-12, 4-2 MAAC) controlled the second and third sets, opening up a lead early in each set. The Greyhounds scored the opening four points in the second set and never looked back. In the third set, the Greyhounds turned a 4-1 deficit into a 10-5 by winning nine of 10 points.
The Griffs forced a fifth and decisive set by holding on for a fourth set victory. Two kills from Layne Adams and a service ace from Severyn but Canisius up 16-10. Loyola cut the Canisius lead to three on 19-16, but the Griffs responded with a 5-2 run that had two kills from Lettow. The Greyhounds made a late run to make it 24-22, but another kill from Lettow closed out the set.
Canisius wraps up the road trip at Rider on Sunday, with match time set for 2 p.m.
Match Notes: Canisius won for the first time in three years at Loyola... Canisius played in a five-set match for the third time this season and for the first time in a MAAC match. The Griffs are now 2-1 in five-set matches during the 2009 season... Canisius is now 10-4 in its last 14 five-set matches... Canisius improves to 3-0 in MAAC road matches, equaling the 1991 team for the best road start in conference matches in program history.

During the 1840s, Britain witnessed a railway boom. Fuelled by low interest rates and a thriving economy, the railway system grew from a few scattered local lines to a huge national network, as railway companies – led by magnates such as George Hudson (1800–1871) – vied with each other to cash in on new routes and buy struggling rivals.
J M W Turner's (1775–1851) famous impressionistic masterpiece Rain, Steam, and Speed, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1844 when 'railway mania' was at its height, celebrated the new age artistically.
This printed response of six years later (by 'Old Stoker'), however, offers a more comic take on railway culture. It provides an interesting popular insight into the look and feel of the travelling experience of the time, from steamboats to trips abroad, and leaking third-class carriages to the refreshment room, where pork pies and stout are evidently staple fare. Some of the frustrations, such as waiting to be served at the ticket office by a newspaper-reading jobsworth, may be familiar today. Others – porters angling for a tip, or the etiquette of asking neighbours before smoking – are no longer experienced by today's travellers.
By the time this publication appeared, the railway bubble had already burst, with many investors losing huge sums of money to collapsed companies, and many hurriedly proposed lines never to be built. Hudson himself was revealed to have bribed MPs and defrauded investors, and was exiled to the continent.

If at first you don't succeed: 07/26/13
A couple of things:
In many standard parenting agreements, there is a line about not giving the child permission for any social activities that are on *the other parent's* parenting time. This is to prevent you from being the bad guy when you don't take her to baton. Now, even without this line you don't need to take her. It may upset the daughter, which is why some plans have that line -- no parent can commit the other. I'd just say no. She can move her to Monday is she wants to. If it did come up in court she'd look really bad for trying to commit your parenting time without your consent.
Also, once you are married, she likely can't use ROFR on you. It may depend on the state you're in or the wording (some specify care of a "family member"), but I think you can eliminate that trouble. In my view, a stepparent is a parent and that ought to trump a grandparent, though I understand it may depend on the situation. I wouldn't worry about it now, as ROFR does apply to girlfriends most places (though in some it may matter if you live together), but I kind of get that one, and since you are getting married soon, I wouldn't be likely to push back until you're a stepparent.
WRT the baton, I would tell her that she is to reschedule it. This is one of those times that could be precedent-setting. If you let her do it once, she will do it over and over again. Sometimes you have to set boundaries.

Our housekeeping staff works hard to make sure each room is cleaned to the highest standards and to keep our common areas spotless. We use green cleaning chemicals that also meet disinfection standards. Our water park utilizes state-of-the-art water treatment equipment to ensure our water quality exceeds health code requirements and we sanitize our water park floors every day. We ask that guests shower before and after using the water park and we ask that guests follow the CDC's 6 Pleas for Healthy Swimming, which include taking children to the bathroom often and not swimming when ill. (www.healthyswimming.org) We also ask that diaper dependent persons wear a swim diaper. Our retail stores have swim diapers available for a nominal fee.
Towels are provided for your family in the water park as well as bathing towels in your suite. You may wish to bring a beach towel or cover up as we ask that the towels stay in the water park area.
Suite style preference must be booked at time of reservation.
Excluding the water park, all additional amenities are open to the public. This includes our restaurants, spas and MagiQuest®.
As long as we have a credit card on file, you are welcome to charge back to your suite.
Grilling, cooking, birthday candles or any other types of open flames are not permitted in suites, patios/balconies or on resort grounds.
Because we do offer some rides that are considered to be extreme, we encourage you to view the restrictions for each attraction. We also discourage use of the hot tubs.
Great Wolf Lodge water park wristbands are RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device). This means you don't have to carry cash or room keys! You can use your wristband to open your suite door and charge food and beverages on your account. Please be advised that Debit cards cannot be used for charging incidentals and there may be fees associated with additional or replacement RFID wristbands.
We require one night's stay plus tax be paid as an advance deposit to hold the reservation. This can be paid by credit card. If you are making the reservation more than 4 weeks in advance, we can accept a personal check or money order for the deposit. Checks cannot be used as a form of payment at the lodge, only for a deposit.
You do have the ability to dial out from suite phones. Local calls are included in your stay. There is a nominal fee for each long distance call.
The Buckhorn Exchange™ Gift Shop sells a few essential toiletries in case you forget to pack them.
We have a fitness center, so bring your workout clothing. Our Iron Horse™ Fitness Room has treadmills, a recumbent bike, stretching mats and TVs to make your workout enjoyable.
Casts are allowed in the water park. There are requirements for certain rides for maintaining body positions such as grasping handles or keeping legs in position. These criteria, in addition to how the cast will contact the ride will determine your ability to wear a cast on a ride.
You are welcome to bring coolers to the lodge; however, they are not permitted in the water park area.
Check-out time is 11 a.m. As our guest, please feel free to enjoy the water park facilities until closing. We recommend packing a smaller bag with bathing suits and a change of clothes and leave the rest of your luggage locked in your car.
Each suite has a microwave and an efficiency style refrigerator, approximately 3' tall and 2' wide.
We recommend that you bring bathing suits, aqua socks, or flip flops for the 84-degree water park. Our lodge is considered casual but we do ask that when you are outside of the water park that shirts and shoes are worn.
All children under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a supervising adult at all times in the water park.
Waterslides and our elevated attractions are not wheelchair accessible.
Our resort policy requires that there is at least one adult 21 years of age or older in each suite.
There is an ATM in every Great Wolf Lodge. Please ask a Pack Member where it is located.
Wireless internet access is available throughout our lodge, which you can access from your room or common areas. Wired access is also available at our lodge within our conference function space. Internet access is included in the resort fee.
Pack 'n Play cribs can be reserved by clicking "Pack 'n Play" on the Reservation page. Pack 'n Play cribs are complimentary but are first come, first serve and cannot be guaranteed during high occupancy periods. Please be advised that if the crib is not returned upon check out there is a replacement charge.

always save me from complete reinstallation ! Magical software. thank you
i couldn't boot to windows after i installed this program on a usb and booted to it it fixed all problems :D thank you
Awesome software. Thank you.
Solved my issue in minutes - Highly recommended. I needed to fix Ubuntu 14.04 with various disks installed.
Have a dual boot Mint 17.3 with Win10. Used Windows to shrink one of the partitions and create a new one. Big mistake to use Windows to create a partition. "No such partition Grub recover>" on boot. For some reason I could not create a bootable cd or usb flash from this boot repair iso. I've created a bootable Repair disk before, so I do not know what the problem was this time. So I mounted a live Ubuntu cd and installed boot repair with three commands found in askubuntu forums. Very easy. Once Boot Repair was running I knew all would be well. I have used this product many times and it has always worked for me. It is very handy when moving to new drives and Windows is involved.

Why use AC General Contractors Atlanta Ga?
Atlanta General Contractors for 15 Years…
Affordable Craftsmen has been Atlanta general contractors, custom home builders, home remodeling and office remodeling contractors for almost 15 years. We're just as comfortable working on small and large jobs, both residential and commercial.
As Atlanta general contractors that are committed to smart growth and consistent service, we decided years ago not to specialize, but instead to build a diverse team of suppliers, architects, engineers, sub-contractors, builders, remodeling contractors and partner general contractors in Atlanta Ga to eventually serve the Southeastern Region. It takes a lot of effort to connect with you as our new customer, so we're determined to earn your long-term business and handle as many of your residential or commercial construction needs as possible.
We want to be the first name that pops into your head on anything construction related. We're committed to a team member picking up the phone or getting right back to you when you call each time. In addition to the 404-620-4440 main office number, you'll be able to reach multiple team members including the owner by text or email as well.
Here are some things that make us different:
- "Measure twice, cut once" – Our affordable, but highly proficient architects and engineers will help make sure that what we build for you is really what you want and will meet all your needs.
- "The devil is in the details" – We embrace technology in an effort to communicate fully and track all the relevant details, while still working to keep the process as simple as possible.
- "Consistently 2nd lowest or middle of 5 bids" – Our prices are simply based on cost of material and labor marked up for overhead and profit. We don't have different prices depending on where you live, work or what you drive. We're also open to fixed price, cost plus and even by the hour on smaller jobs and handyman projects.
- "Actions speak louder than words" – We can frequently give a "ball park" number over the phone or towards the end of the first site meeting on small and medium sized projects. There are links to some of our other specialty web sites and many of them have pricing for simpler items listed right on the site. We are willing to let you buy your own material, we are willing to do your job in phases and will contract each phase one at a time. If you are wanting to pull your own permit, we are open to coming along side you and acting as your general contractor coach to save you money but allow you to operate with confidence even if it's your first time.
We are A+ rated on the Atlanta Better Business Bureau and most other online directories, with no complaints in 15 years. We are only interested in contracting residential or light commercial projects that work for all parties involved. Although we all need to make a reasonable profit to stay in business for the long haul, the money is not the only consideration, but also the relationship, quality of finished product and overall value.
