We bought some laminate and now I have some health issues. Will it hurt to store it in an unheated building?

If you get bored with my stories, let me know. We did a lot of craft shows for years. There was these two brothers who did a lot of wood carving that I got to know. Bib overalls, flannel shirts, figured they were just hayseeds. One day I asked Maynard, really his name, what did you do before you...

Do any of you ever install any of that awful stuff anymore? I did one job of it and told the store to bid my labor at $100 a yard to do any more. It was never popular around here at all. The one job of it I did, it took 4 of us to carry in a 12 x 20. I normally would have carried in a 12 x 20...

Just ran across something that reminded me of them. Tried to work for them in KC in the late 80s. Most dishonest place I ever tried to work for. Had a job scheduled for them that had a couple flights of upholstered stairs. Carpet they tried to load on my van had the backing falling off. I tried...

Can you still buy Hyde knives?

My son reminded me of a funny true story. Thought you might get a kick out of it. A bully, about 6' 2" 240 lbs , that I had beat the crap out of a few weeks before was picking on a friend of mine, Larry, who was about 5' 135 lbs. So they decided to meet at a place in the country. I went along to...

Ran across this in a new story about allergies. It surprised me. Myth 3: Black mold can cause some truly terrifying diseases. Google “black mold” and you’ll find websites linking it to some frightening maladies – things like seizures, fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder, cancer. “This has been...
