Where is Mike Holmes When You Need Him?

Aug 29, 2008 01:34

So last Saturday, we embarked on a bit of painting. You see, the paint in our apartment is some sort of "priming basic paint", which isn't totally awful to look at (unlike primer), but isn't quite awesome either, it's prime quality being that it's easy to paint over. After we recently discovered that this quality also made it a fairly hospitable ( Read more... )

You have to make it right the first time.

I guess that you should get HGTV first :-) Ask you know who about how HGTV is like crack addiction.

Oh... but we do have HGTV, & Idées de ma Maison ....

In your case it would be more Brian from DIY Disaster that you should call.

Akoha, uh, thing. We've both left wondering a bit about where the money is going to be coming from.
I wondered the same thing, honestly. I'm sure it's going to come from somewhere, once it's been operational for a while, (I mean, they must have thought of this), but of course I am curious.

I like the philosophy behind it. It'll be interesting to see how well it works.

dcoombs August 29 2008, 13:45:19 UTC

Oh, and, nice to see you again! :)

pphaneuf August 29 2008, 13:50:14 UTC

Yes, likewise! Albeit a bit briefly, but it's not like you're on the other side of the world, uh, most of the time. ;-)

I like the philosophy too. Whether it works or not remains to be seen, but it certainly is promoting better ideals.

It's built for "lapping racers at the velodrome" with straight bars and fenders. Yeah, try again, marketing dweebs. Just promise you won't get the New York colour.

I think this part applies more to the S-Works than the Seattle. :-)

I don't think I'll go with this, but I know that the handle bars I'm looking for are in the style of the Seattle.

Wish I could have gone to the Akoha thing. I messed up the date and thought it was on a night I was busy. Typical.

Oh my god, a bike with a coffee cup holder is my dream come true.

pphaneuf August 29 2008, 20:56:59 UTC

There's a lot of that in more civilized countries like Denmark or the Netherlands. We hardly get any of those bikes here nowadays, though it's making a bit of a comeback...
