Re: Retro

So my biggest problem with news shows, television or radio, is the use of "So" at the opening of a sentence. This is everywhere now, just like "like" was/is so overused.

Re: basement work, need advice

Thanks again Phil. The area where the wood stove was, drops 3" in 3'!! Yes, we recognize that we will have to go very, very slowly and the floor will not be level when finished, but better than it is now. We are mostly interested in supporting the old floors as best we can so that we minimize f...
