Any one know where I can get a big comfy couch?

0

Ive been looking online for a couch, I want something big and comfortable where I can fall asleep watching tv. All the ones I have seen that I like arent all that comfortable.
I’ll see if I can find mine online (I’ll look at the brand next time I’m home), it’s ridiculously comfortable. I have friends that complain that it’s too easy to fall asleep on, and they eventually opt for a folding chair or something (not an exaggeration). The back is tall, and the arms are as tall as the back, so it’s like you’re sitting *in* the couch more than other couches (which at 6’5", I like).

Subway Sauce Recipe Opinion

0

I absolutely love the Sweet Onion Sauce that comes from Subway. So much so that I’m trying to make it myself. I’m far from a culinary god, so I was wondering if anyone who had tried the actual sauce and knew about cooking it thought this recipe sounded about right:

I’m a bit lost as to what the Bisquick is for.
do the search on google for the recipe, ive seen one that looks completely legitamate, im at work, or id post if for ya, gotta go!

Post it up later if you get the chance, please. I’m feinding for this sauce.

Knife recommendations

0

2 year old thread:

I’m not huge into cooking, but I’m doing enough now that I need a quality knife. I’m not an "artist?" when it comes to cooking. My old, worn out (shitty to begin with) Faberware knives are infuriating. I primarily just need a good chef’s knife, but will take set recommendations.
I personally like my Wustof, but there’s certainly room for improvement, especially if you don’t want to stay on top of keeping it sharp. My best advice is to go to a knife shop and see what feels good in your hand, and don’t buy stamped blades, common among the lower end lines with german makers like henkels and wustof. The bigger the better IMO for a chef’s knife, get the 9 or 10" over the 8", there are some things that you’ll want the extra length for. Do a search, there was a recent thread about this and I don’t feel like typing the same shit again.

How thick are the walls between condos? vSoundproofing

0

I’m moving into a condo soon and making music is a hobby of mine. I will be setting up my studio in my bedroom upstairs because I don’t have anywhere else to put it. I will finish the basement eventually but that won’t be for a while.

How thick are walls between condos?

Any ideas on how to soundproof it the cleanest possible way?
Wall thickness depends on when and where it was constructed. Your best bet for soundproofing is going to be some acoustic tiles that you put over the existing wall and ceiling.

Bioarchitecture in urban space

0

hi all,
what does bioarchitecture mean? I heard this word many times on tv and on the web.
I read about a new italian product for architects. I think it is called Active Ceramic. It’d allow to obtain antibacterial and antipollution surfaces.
do you know how does it work?
there all info active-ceramic.com but I’m not an architect and I don’t understand very well. Maybe somebody knows or uses it.

I just cut ~100 feet of crown, base, casing

0

and ~50 feet of chair rail for the living room and master bedroom (no chair in the bedroom, just living room).

Now the fun part, painting it all so I can install it

The girlfriend has been bugging me to get the huge pile of trim off the living room floor before our Christmas party on the 5th. Not too sure why I’ve been putting it off so long.
the most annoying part is the damn dust the mdf creates when you cut that stuff

opinions – color

0

So the top color I like, the bottom color I was hoping for more red and less orange but it didnt dry like that.

The color on the bottom left is what I would like and the right side is what it actually is.

Thoughts?

my other idea was to go with a darker gold on the bottom, but the red color will pick up the red tones in the floor which was the thought behind my original idea. I may also tone back the yellow hue in the top color a bit. Also the floor is not actually that dark keep that in mind.

Help me choose paint…

Here are the pics. In for ideas. I definitely want to paint almost every room. The whole first floor is ALL brown.

This is when you first walk in the front door.

This is the small hallway to the left after you walk in the front door. Bathroom to the right, laundry straight ahead. Left before the laundry leads to the garage, right leads to the kitchen.

Kitchen/Dining…

Kitchen from the other side of the room..
