Has anyone taken this course?
Comments (3)I know this post is late msgaz but take gardendawgie's advice. No program is going to teach you hands on experience. You will learn more by going into your garden and observing things, then when problems occur coming to these forums and reading about them, then you ever will wasting your money on a course. There is no substitute for patience. Every day you will learn new things and you need time to assimilate them and allow them to become part of your knowledge. This won't happen with an online course but it will happen if you are out there observing and learning. Good luck....See Moreschool of hard knocks - what classes have you taken?
Comments (7)Lesson 1: Always use the right tool for the job - whether it's a backhoe, a good masonry bit, or a laser level. And if you don't have the tool, rent it or hire the job out. Tuition 1: So many sore muscles, joints, scrapes, scratches, heat stroke, etc. etc. Lesson 2: Ask at least 3 different people at the permit office what you need done to pass an inspection. Tuition 2: Luckily, this only cost me about 7 days of time over the course of the build. Chump change in the grand scheme. Lesson 3: A thorough and accurate set of plans can bridge the language barrier. Unless you're at the site 24/7 or enjoy having framers tear out lumber and do things for the third time, make sure your plans are what you want. Tuition 3: A couple grand in lumber and a week or two of time during framing. Lesson 4: When you think a 10ft basement is enough, dig 2 more feet and frame a dropped ceiling. Tuition 4: No money, but it's touch and go on some of the HVAC runs in our basement ceiling. Lesson 5 (and the most important): It's your project, not the workers'. Don't let any sub push you around, you know the vision of what you want and how things are going to work. If they say that it won't pass code... call the code officials. Only one time out of 10 did the code official say I couldn't do what I'd planned (a GFCI in my bathroom tile floor next to my clawfoot tub to run the jets and heater for it, so I built a little box instead). I flat out had to tell the HVAC guy that he'd do it my way or I was hiring someone else. Tuition 5: No cost, just some aggravation till my wife reminded me that I know more about this job than the subs do....See MoreHas anyone taken ownership of the new Bosh 500 Plus??
Comments (4)I happened to move to Texas early to look for a job. I don't have a job yet, but being here made it possible for me to go ahead and order the 500 plus set on Sep 28. Lowes will get them into their regular line in mid October, so they put in a special order for me. I received the washer today and the dryer will be delivered sometime next week. The delivery guys were nice, but they didn't level the machine (said it wasn't necessary because the floor was sturdy and the washer didn't wobble). The washer is in the kitchen on vinyl over concrete slab and the vibration is minimal even without any leveling. I am on my second load and I am really happy with it so far. Eventually I will check and level the washer, but you can't actually see it move. The slight vibration is just enough to let a small object walk across the top of the washer, but it is not noisy or anything. In my first load I washed my daughter's very dirty socks (she ran around in the garage and outside in socks without shoes) and they came clean on the cotton/warm cycle without pretreating. I know our crappy TL would have left them just about as dirty as they went in! I am using the Sears Stain Fighting formula powder because there were a lot of good reviews on this forum about it. I like the smell and the clothes got clean with just half a scoop. At this rate the big bucket will last us a year or so. I didn't see any suds during the actual wash cycle, but the initial empty load had about half an inch of bubbles. The washer is very quiet and it looks very nice. I got the white version and I also got a white Bosch dishwasher (which we will install tomorrow or so). I don't think you have to worry about the timely delivery of your washer and dryer. I am sure Bosch produces quite a few of them now to make sure that they won't be backordered. Lowes already discontinued the 700 and they told me they'll get the 500 plus and 800 in mid October. Of course I couldn't wait that long even though my in-laws live two houses down the street and they have a fairly decent TL. I'll keep using their dryer until the new one gets here...;-)...See MoreHas anyone here taken a glass bead class?
Comments (4)I live in So. Jersey--which at one time, was a huge center for the glass industry. Now, there are a lot of high-end glass artists still around. One community college has a glass program--they teach both art and commecial glass working. A few years ago, I took a Pate de Verre workshop there from a very well-known artist. In between our P d V projects, she showed us how to make glass beads. It was a lot of fun. Wish it didn't take so much heavy duty equipment to do glass work--I'd have my own shop at home!...See MoreCathyChex
