  1. No problem. I don't mean to talk you out of it, I loved it and prefer it to my wood floors. Just alot of buyers out there don't feel the same. I did real wood in this house as I don't plan on staying here real real long and want it to sell better. My next house will be out a little with some land for my toys and I will be there probably until I retire. If it needs upgraded, I will do laminate. You can do it, it really isn't hard. I did mine at the old house. Came out great. I'm sure there are some on here that would lend a hand, myself included. Also, if it makes any difference, my 17 month old son does play on my wood floors and pushes his large riding cars on them without problems or scratches. It will hold up to him fine, it's just my rowdy dogs.
  2. As a former owner of both (and presently wood again), there is good and bad to both. I put down pergo in my old house (my rental) when I lived there and it held up great. I have 2 large boxers and frequently dog sat for my neighbors and my parents. They could run, slide, fight, you name it and it would not show one scuff. They really put it to the test. 3 different sets of renters later, and it still looks pretty good. A few nicks here and there. The down side to it, is when I was thinking about selling, alot of people had a negative reaction to it. It was true, you could tell it was not real wood, but it looked pretty good. My realtor told me people think of laminate as you "cheeping out" on your upgrades and makes some people wonder what else you could have skimped on too. She also said some people prefer it to wood for reasons like mine - dogs. I ended up taking it off the market to rent out as I found a way to manage both mortgages. In my new house I had Brazilian cherry wood put down in my "formal" living room and "formal" dining room and left the Oak hard wood in my foyer. It looks way better then my pergo did, but I can not allow my dogs in those two rooms at all. It scratches very easily. I was completely thinking future resale on this project though. Long story short - some buyers prefer hardwood to laminate and will spook them enough to not buy. True story - I saw it. You may not be thinking about selling anytime soon, but you never know. Always plan ahead, but still do what keeps you happy and fits your needs/lifestyle.
  3. Oh, and my wife just got Just Dance 2.
  4. Tim I have: Super Mario Bros - the new version for the wii, not for NES Wii Fit Wii Fit plus 007 Quantum of Solace Mario Kart Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games Wii Play Need for Speed Undercover Indianapolis 500 Legends
  5. This is slightly off topic, but my 5 series was really bad about brake dust too. Same as you said, 2 days and the fronts wheels were black. As soon as it needed new pads I went to ceramics and that really helped. The wife's X5 is the same and will be changed to ceramic as soon as it needs them. Like I said, kinda off topic, but it may help with whatever fix you go with on the caps and help prevent from happening again.
  6. Cool, we are just making sure you don't regret your choices and have too buy things more then once. Or, that you have a setup that doesn't work well together. On the cam, post up which you are thinking about. Or research it on some of those boating sites I gave you. If you ask for input from someone somewhere else, make sure they know you have a stock exhaust. Without changing exhausts, reversion can be a huge issue with too much cam.
  7. Send me an offer for the speakers only and we will see. Or, I do have 2 12" Sony Xplod's that are in great shape and without a box. Any interest in those?
  8. I really don't want to separate as the box is taking up the majority of the space I need to open up.
  9. What cam and head size did you go with? I'm not sure a 600 carb is enough. Boats are different then cars in this aspect.
  10. Everything pictured is still here. I really need to get this stuff out of here. Just send me offers. You may be surprised.
  11. I would say if you are planning on keeping the boat around for a while and will be sticking with a SB, I would build the motor first and build it for the blower. Actually, that's exactly what I did do. LOL Blowers do sound cool though and I do love the instant power. How well will your current motor hold up to the blower?
  12. Shoulda told me! I may want it. I'll hit ya up tomorrow.
  13. My father in law has this one...it felt weird to me using it. I have the perfect shot one if you want to come grab it. You can use it (even keep it if you like it) for a while. I probably haven't used it in at least a year. It was my favorite out of the ones I have tried. Let me know if you want to swing by and grab it. I can leave it out for you somewhere if I'm not around.
  14. It was new.....last year, I think. If you are 7 days late renewing your tags, it is an extra 20 dollars, if I am remembering the specifics correctly. They made it exclude seasonal vehicles. It even says it on the BMV's website. However, not all the BMV's got this memo. Over on OR alot of people were having trouble with it. I went in ready to battle when I did my tags, but got lucky I guess....they must have got the memo.
  15. It's true. I did not have to pay a penalty for my bike or my boat trailer. It was two different BMV's too. The bike was at the Bethel/Hayden location and the boat trailer was at the Lewis Center 23 location. I didn't even have to fight for it. They just asked if I had used them at all since they expired. I told them no, which was true, and they renewed them and waived the fee. Try a different location next time.
  16. PM me when you want to meet up. I am off of Sawmill and 270. I didn't get one about this stuff, only the bike. Edit - I just read it again and saw about the subs. Let me know if you want them.
  17. No no, definitely the computer speakers. At least I hope that's what he was talking about. If it was the Kickers, the deal is definitely off. LOL
  18. How about 1.50? J/K a buck is fine. When do you want to get them? PM me.
  19. Awesome I will be home all day. I will text you in a few.
  20. The larger one is 39"w X 19"h the other two are 24"h X 18"w
  21. Hey nice looking bike. Just wanted to give you a friendly tip if it doesn't sell....don't worry about renewing your tags. There is no late penalty for seasonal vehicles. So as long as you aren't riding it just let it sell through the winter and renew in the spring if you still have it. Hopefully its sold for you though! Good luck!
