Hi guys, I am considering both and would like your input. I’m 25 and looking to purchase my first place within a few months. I’ve always been fixated on getting a garaged townhouse. I have a car that I often swap tires/brakes in etc. so a garage would really be nice to have. I don’t really care so much about the size of the place, 2-3 bedrooms would be fine. So I’ve been thinking lately and perhaps getting a condo would be a better choice. There are condos that have detached garages, I wonder if it would be permissible to do some work in them. I guess the thought of possibly saving myself 50k or so by going the condo route is intriguing. It almost seems that I could save some money, get a nicer interior, and perhaps better location if I go the condo route. I know there are cons though, higher fees, noise levels perhaps, not being able to have a grill on the deck, no direct access from garage to the house, etc…

So, I did some searches on here and google and found that QuickStep is considered a pretty good laminate floor. I was looking to order some for our project, but I can’t find a store around here that actually carries it so that I can get a look first hand.
We’re sort of pressed for time (need to get this room done before the 24th), so I don’t have much time to mess around with ordering online samples and such, so I’m wondering what opinions (if any) you guys might have on Shaw laminate floors. I was looking at them at Menards and they "looked nice." I know this means jack shit, though, as it tells me nothing about their quality.

I need some help. What are some of the fastest and easiest things you cook? I am always busy and never have time to cook a full normal meal, but I need ideas on anything that is extremely fast and easy.
Baked chicken breasts don’t take very long. Get that in the oven with some veggies on the stove and your eating in about 30 minutes.

Is there any signs i should look for concerning why its going so slow?
Then again is it even going slow? Sorry its my 1st time home brewing.
Sounds like it’s not warm enough.
Make sure there’s sugar in there, for the yeast to metabolize. If there isn’t, you won’t get alcohol.
