	"snapped up and turned into expensive apartments"	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	"snapped up and turned into expensive apartments" It may be different in other parts of the US and in other countries, but here in California, it's often hard to turn old commercial or industrial buildings into residential housing. Parking is a big deal, and most of those structures weren't built with garages. Even if the building can physically accomodate vehicles, city governments can make approval of seemingly minor details -- like getting a curb cut to allow cars to cross the sidewalk and enter the building -- nearly impossible. Old buildings have struc ...

	sometimes cheaper is better	1 Relevance	16 years ago	vintage damage	General discussion
	sometimes cheaper is better I have been digging this 7" tree made of tie-wire and plastic leaves. The base has a write up on it about some swamp guy who was in Louisiana making these and only these. It's called a dream tree and here's a quote from the maker "It doesn't do anything, just sits there looking pretty." Because of the way he balance each leaf in a wide loop, I have found that mine does quite a lot. The leaves move and shake with the slightest provocation. Walking by this thing starts up a near studio 54 of gold leaves flashing and reflections dart ...

	I considered that but I like ... I considered that but I like knowing I acquired the pieces at an excellent price ... good conversation starter too. 🙂 Plus the prospect of restoring them is intriguing. I'll see if I can do some digging to see if there are any suitable products for filling in or buffing out these light scratches without destroying the laminate. There seem to be a multitude of options, I just don't know where to start. Thanks! PS @ Pegboard. Nice tables btw. I really like the rosewood top with the white finish on the base.

	... once I get a new battery. The "half wall" is a big planter attached to the house with a little ornate iron fence attached to the sidewalk/entryway. There's also a wall of brick about a foot tall running along the front of the house creating sort of a planter area for shrubs and such. But the overgrown jungle detracts from all of these highlights. The brick has already been painted sadly. There are a few spots of masonry I'll have to shore up first though as you said, Spanky. I was thinking of maybe digging up the pointless bed in front of the sidewalk and e ...
	I just removed it	1 Relevance	17 years ago	TK	General discussion
	I just removed it I did it the hard way, by digging the fiberglass to remove the insert... The screws were badly rusted, no wonder WD40 was not very effective. Thank you all for sharing your ideas & experiences! I might post some pictures later, to show my experince!
	I haven't had a 'favorite' radio since I was a kid,	1 Relevance	17 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	I haven't had a 'favorite' radio since I was a kid, and demanded this for my birthday. From the moment I saw it, I was obsessed-- OBSESSED-- with owning one. I thought it'd transform me from the introverted butterball that I was, into a mod girl-on-the-go... flitting about town (i.e. my dull rural neighborhood) digging tunes on my yellow Panasonic doughnut radio.

	... that, a Timo Sarpaneva glass vase. A year after that an Evelyn Ackerman Mosaic, then maybe a Lagardo Tackett cookie jar. You get the idea. These days, I find myself attracted to organic, minimalist designs in wood- turned bowls in particular. That said, what I'm really digging today is my Buff Brown walnut cutting board. There are pictures of a similar ones below. It will probably be something else soon....

	I know... I don't want to cut them. Actually hadn't thought of holes in the ceiling! Now there's some lateral thinking. Barry I'm not sure the exact length...I imagine our new ceiling is 8'...not sure of the old place but they fit perfect with a little adjusting @ the bottom. I guess I will start looking for shorter poles...or digging out the Sawzall?!?
	John Christopher	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LouLou (UK)	General discussion
	John Christopher I have also had some fairly disappointing dealings with this company. I have done a little digging and it would appear that Mr Christopher is now hiding in America....although is still taking orders through his modernclassicsdirect website in UK - and they have even extended their sale until Christmas.....meaning that christmas wont be coming for a few unsuspecting people. Further digging has also uncovered that he has not paid a number of his suppliers recently either - so is no longer being supplied, meaning that he is simply taking order ...

	... construction would significantly shorten the time the meter is running on the construction loan and so save a developer a handsome chunk of change. The bigger the project, the bigger the chunk of change saved. This engineering/construction wrinkle is certainly an improvement over bribing feasibility analysts and/or appraisers to falsely inflate project value a few percent to make a deal pencil out. Now, I know that Piano probably did not invent the deep digging technology that was used to sink the piles before excavation began, but he was as far as I have h ...

	... new piece of rosewood veneer. I could just hit it with a bit of dark brown paint. As you'll see when I start assembling the chair, the repair area is almost entirely obscured by the cushions. In any case, I knew that I wanted the shock mount to be adhered directly to the fiberglass structural component. I could decide on the aesthetic surface later. digging into my big box of adhesives, I pull out the mighty Scotchweld 1838. This is the real deal. The stuff the Herman Miller factory used. I've had this pair of tubes for well over 10 years, and have r ...

	... attitude, like the past was just a mine for a series of badly proportioned jokes. It could have been so much more. I keep reminding myself that what we see of design in this city of images that is advertising, retail and the internet is the tip of the iceberg and there is a lot of great 'unconscious' work in the built environment. My parents neighbour is an older lady and has done a lot of work on her own place, its utterly charming. Her verandah is an enclosed room with vertical slats running about 3 metres high and is lovely and cool in summer and she ca ...
	How can the people of Boston	1 Relevance	17 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	How can the people of Boston expect good government, when their civil servants have to spend 8-10 hours a day in a building like the one below. The building below would actually discourage me from taking a job with Boston's city government. "That's where you'll find me, among lovers, bugs and bees, Yeah, I love that dirty water, Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home." I know its a depression, Boston, but that's all the more reason to do a major public works project to put Bostonians back to work. Don't dig any more tunnels, for gosh sakes, just build some good buil ...
	Napkin holder?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	black651	General discussion
	Napkin holder? Though it would work quite well as one, it is really a bookend. The bottom of the piece has a label with the maker named: "Philadelphia Manufacturing Company" along with instructions on "how to properly use this bookend". I did some digging and found a similar patent granted to another company back in 1935: http://www.google.com/patents?id=igxZAAAAEBAJ&dq=spring+bookend (I LOVE the Google patent search! So many wonderful items to look at and be inspired by. It has been a great help to me when researching many items I have purchased over the y ...
