I think the >term is used far too liberally. The term is used for all kinds of trendy ingredients, but the real superfoods are old school foods like oats and (red) cabbage. I guess there's no money in making a hype around those. |

I wonder how healthy a bowl of oatmeal is by the time you add the raisins, brown sugar and butter? ;) Not talking about you Joan, just Cindy and I. |

Has to be true, Bruce said so. Most never eat just the oats. Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little Bruces eat ivy. |
| Janet <nobody@home.org>: Jul 17 10:09AM +0100 John, the bargeboard above the top window is in a terrible rotten state. Before retiling the roof, you should have had that wood replaced, or cleaned off and repainted. It still needs to be done, but now someone will have to walk on the new tiles and will probably drip paint on them too. Janet UK |

No not large, only 1500 sqft and now it will have a renewed red clay tile roof, which is a 100 year roof. House was completed in 1930, so just shy of 100 years on the old one. > John Kuthe... No, John. The original tiles you've allowed them to refit, are at the end of their 100 year life, that's why so many of them became weatherworn and absorbent, broke or leaked. For what they charged you the roof company should have fitted a whole roof of new tiles throughout. THEN you'd have a hundred-year tiled roof. What you've got now is a roof where the original old tiles will continue to deteriorate and fail, and need regular attention, repairs and replacements for the rest of your life. The roofing company must be laughing all the way to the bank. Janet UK |

ISTR that's the most common residential roofing material in the U.S. And the cheapest. Instead of $113,000, that job might cost $5000 (including getting rid of the tiles). Cindy Hamilton |

In addition to restoring your roof, looks like they are restoring your dormers too. I do think it's a good idea right while they're up there. They've taken off the shingles and put new felt paper on the sides. They've also scraped off all the peeling paint on the white trim up there. Rather than repaint that top trim, vinyl siding would be smart to use. That way, nobody will ever need to go up on your roof again. Looks like your windows there have already been replaced with vinyl or aluminum years ago. Is this included in the contract price or does that come under the "additional work" part? |

Moving the tile out of the > way refelting and moving it back. They will use very few new tiles. They've reused 100 year old clay tiles. 100 years is the lifespan of a clay tile. John has already seen many of those 100 yr old clay tiles weather, fracture, become brittle, leak; but he's dim enough to believe the worn out tiles are now newborn and will last another 100 years. Thats a bit like a heart surgeon implanting a 90 year patient "Good news; the donor heart is 90 years old so it's good for another 90 years". Janet UK |

I just wrote him about that, Janet. I'm assuming that's part of the job...or extra's that they told him about. Interesting...Never heard that called "bargeboard" before. Must be a UK term. In the usa, the top board is usually referred to as the "facia" the entire top would be called the "cornice" I've just always referred to it all as the top trim around the dormer. |

Those tiles could be saved for other jobs that Old World does, so maybe a cost reduction to let them have them. They probably specialize in restoring historic house roofs, not a plain old house like John has. My father had an old giant Black Walnut tree removed from his yard once. They wanted several thousand dollars to cut it down and remove the wood. Dad knew the value of Black Walnut wood though. He bartered with them and ended up getting the tree and wood removed, and they got to keep the wood. An equal trade. No money exchanged. Like you, I think I would have opted for the asphalt shingles. They do come in a nice dark red too. Maybe only 20 year life but a big savings now and in the long term. And not new copper gutters either. Those are also only for historic houses. |

Recently spent 18k on a not so large one and most all of y'all chipped in. Roofing contractors pay an exorbitant amount for insurance just like tree trimmers. |

When the property goes to tax lien foreclosure someone will get a nice roof though. People who buy expensive art have the wherewithal to do so. There is zero wherewithal in this case. |

Notable exception: Alaska 663,268 square miles 2010 population of 710,231 Virginia Beach 497 square miles total 2010 population of 460,000 More than half of all in Alaska Sounds pretty darn crowded here to me.

Interesting story, Ed. Alexa would be perfect for someone with no arms. Would be fun to experiment with that. Try, "Alexa, what are you wearing?" If they offer a "no censor" option, answer might be interesting. |

Since I bought a box of pasta during the pandemic, I got to answer all of the questions. They wanted to know things like: Were there shortages How did you deal with the shortages (buy elsewhere, buy a different brand) Do you care if your pasta is made in the U.S. Do you care if your pasta is, um, sustainable Cindy Hamilton |

Why "fall for" ? It was no different from taking a quiz in Cosmopolitan. Ok, bad analogy. I haven't read Cosmo in 40 years, and I don't imagine you've ever read it. Cindy Hamilton |

Just top dress a little every year. I never buy tomato plants anymore I sometimes buy a packet or two of seeds from the local community garden resource place for 25 cents a packet, but the tomatoes that really produce are the volunteers. All you have to do is water the area where the tomatoes were the year before. For salads, cherry tomatoes are great, and today is the point that I will have as many cherry tomatoes as my family would wish to eat until the first frost. To celebrate that, I bought a large head of iceberg. Tomorrow we'll be having green salads, and it's a Jack Sprat thing. My son dislikes the inner parts of an iceberg head, and while he'd prefer leaf lettuce, he's OK with the outer leaves, and I love the crunchy inner portions. It gets better. We'll have baked russets, par cooked in the microwave and finished in the oven, but I also bought some ungraded ribeyes today that if they'd been graded, would have been on the better side of Choice for marbling. They'll be grilled over a hot fire, and I mean fire, not just charcoal that flares up with dripping fat, but fire from half burned seasoned hickory. I don't know what others will add to their lettuce/tomato salads, but mine will be dressed with only some Key lime juice (we have several Key limes that won't be good much longer) and a little pre-grated domestic Asiago. I'm a spiteful person, and I'm sending out hate toward every person who is not practicing proper Covid-19 hygiene, but I'm also feeling love for all of you who are acting like adults, and doing what you can to prevent unnecessary transmission of the virus. I wear a face covering all day at work, and anytime I am in a building not my home. I'm not a hero for enduring the minor discomfort of the mask. I'm just being a grownup. Most other grownups are acting like grownups, and the few who are not deserve to die. --Bryan --Bryan |
