re: WSJ: Sofas made much worse now

[quote]People think because it came from Neimen Marcus or some other high end retail that it is good wood furniture. What a joke.[/quote] The article discusses West Elm, which I thought might be nice until I went into a west elm store. It was on par with World Market quality but more expensive. T...

If you are talking Burweed, I believe so. (sort of) Bonus S uses atrazine for weed control and that should knock out burweed. The problem is depending on how mature that plant is, the sticker portion may be formed, and killing the plant doesn't make it disappear. [img]https://www.weedaler...

We also forget how "spoiled" we are with the price of consumer goods. Almost all of the items we gripe about cost a relative fortune decades ago. We have an expectation of everything being cheap. Furniture and appliances aren't made how they used to be made, and they also don't cost what they use...

I have a very simple lined sofa that I got from my grandparent's house. They owned it back in the 60's when they lived in Hawaii and my mom tells me it was actually in the house when they bought it. The frame is all iron. The springs and foam are still great. I had it reupholstered by Denicola's a ...

[quote]Phoenix is at 1,000 ft, and Sedona is at 4,000 feet. The north rim of the canyon gets up to 8,200 feet. Looking at historical data, Sedona averages a high of 90 and a low of 64 that time of year. But it is a desert, and so it’s not like the south. You’ll be very comfortable.[/quote] Yea...
I find it funny how regional drywall seems. In Louisiana my experience has always been very low texture, 90 degree corners. I've rented my share of Airbnb's around the country (mostly western states) and they almost always seem to have rounded corners and more wall texture. Those were all newer ...
I think this thread sums up my experience trying to figure out temperatures there. I suppose the question is too vague to really pin down. I do wonder if we could fill a 7-8 day trip with unique areas and hikes that would be comfortable? I get the rim of the Grand Canyon would be cooler, but woul...

Leaning towards a different destination. I've wanted to visit AZ for a while. I've explored all around there. Done the Mighty 5 in Utah. All of the parks in Colorado including Mesa Verde which isn't too far as the crow flies. I just like escaping the LA heat in the summer, and having to time my hi...

How miserable would exploring northern Arizona be in the first week of June? I love hiking, but I have avoided that state on a summer trips so far. I can't get a true fix on what hiking would be like in Sedona and the surrounding areas then. I know it gets miserably hot in Arizona but the change f...
