This thread is so timely. I had planned on repotting my gar***ia (too afraid to speak its name LOL!!) this week. I got it last spring and potted it into potting soil that turned out to basically turn into an adobe brick, and weighs as much! I got my new soil last week but still have not done it. The poor thing is surviving in the brick, when watered the water goes right down the sides of the pot, not even into the dirt! It is hanging on by a thread with half nice growth, some new growth and sticks that are withering away, turning upside-down and dying. Probably trying to look down to see what the hell it is potted in! LOL! What to do, what to do⦠Okay. Michael just came in and said "I'll pot that up in a New York minute!". He used to grow them in Australia, "Piece of piss to do!", as the Aussies say. Of course, he quickly followed that by saying "Lost them there, too.... too much sun!" LOL!! Oh my.

Pictures???? I know everyone else is thinking it so I just said it first! LOL! CONGRATULATIONS! You gave coherent descriptions so I have a pretty good idea that your baby really is cute! Babies are so cute and cuddly when they're in a good mood.(I was lucky mine usually were.) I started walking right away to get back in shape but I think I was still think I was tired for about 3 months and got back into my regular clothes. PJ

Fascinating thread. I thought I would add a bit of insight from his perspective, as I'm a young guy who is in his position too. . I'm certain he only borrowed her things because he didn't have the courage to get his own. He really wouldn't want to piss her off like that if he had a choice. . Just beacause he didn't tell her doesn't mean he doesn't want her to know - it can be an increadible hard thing to talk about. (Would you want to divulge this information to some one you care about knowing a common response is "ick ick ick"). . There is as much chance of him being straight as the general population - this has been proven statistically. In fact he's probably into very feminine women, more than others guys. . If she can accept it (unfortunately this is very unlikely) she will probably have herself the most loving, attentive & monogamous man any of you could wish to meet. . There's a good chance there was more than just underwear involved if it took him time to come out of the room. I would say this anyway, but that clinches it. . Yes he did want her to feel the bra and talk to him about it - he obviously needed her to start the conversation (all men can take bras off very quickly, so it's not that he didn't have the time!!) . Those of you tempted to be self righteous, beware...SO many men have their thing, whatever ir may be and the chances are their partnet doesn't know about it. It's just the way we're programmed I'm afraid. I don't know a single male friend who doesn't have something that would upset his partner if she found out, be it strippers, other girls, porn, strange kinks etc...

Dovetail drawers are a common standard component in cabinet construction. The cab sub orders them from a supplier. It's no problem. Most mid grade and up cabinet drawers come with dovetail box construction. Another common drawer component is Blumotion slides possibly with soft close. Talking to the sub before he gives a quote about these is a normal practice. A specific type of lazy susan is the same. This is locking down components that affect the construction. Once the sub knows these parts are part of the project he can determine his costs and give the GC a price for the number of cabinets this particular job requires him to supply. The same applies to different door styles and wood varieties, paint finishes or other finishing affects. I'm sure you picked those too. There is no standard price because every kitchen has a different number of cabinets of different types. One kitchen can have $3k in cabs and the next $10k. That's why the cab sub is there before the contract price is presented. You told him what you wanted. He told the GC what his part of the job would cost. The GC figured his total cost and profit and gave you a price. You accepted his offer. That's all you owe. The sub is trying to overcharge the GC. He needs to go back to the sub for a refund. Which is probably something he has a lot of power to do because the sub has worked with him and wants to continue working with him on future jobs. Stand firm. Don't accept his verbiage about not making any money. He's making a healthy amount for his work. Next time you work with him require a complete list of specs as part of his contract offer. Write in any changes in pen before you sign. They supersede printed provisions and are controlling when the contract is signed.
