I am so glad my Target card came today, Friday, December 22. I think it was so nice fo them to order the cards before Christmas and give us a chance to use them. Thus, I will be using mine tomorrow (Sat). Judy's Book continues to impress me and to try and get and KEEP new members. They seem to realize their mistakes and correct them or either not make them in the first place. I am grateful for the card. 15 reviews are not that bad, and they usually go fast if you are in a writing mood. Thank you again, Judy's Book!

We used to have two of the Cape Code Comfy Adirondack chairs and foot stools and I loved them. When we sold our house and moved into a condo we gave them away but if we ever have another place to put outdoor furniture I will definitely by two more. I have looked at many adirondack chairs, lots of places have them, but they are never as comfortable as the Cape Code Comfy's. The design is always slightly different. The Cape Code Comfy's have the perfect shape on the back and on the seat that contours to your body shape. They are the best!

Located in Ballard, just northeast of the Ballard Bridge at 1440 NW 52nd St. is the RE Store. They have your standard building salvage pieces along with some unusual and downright odd items. For unusual, last time I was there they had an ancient bidet or sits bathtub. The oddest thing they had then was clothing, from the 1950s or 60s that had been salvaged from a former dry cleaners. The items were apparently found behind a locked door that wasn't highly visible and had been forgotten about. The RE Store personnel discovered the door and found the old clothes. They weren't building supplies, but were too cool to scrap, so they salvaged them!
Price wise the RE Store is all over the board, from very pricey to downright reasonable, depending on what you want. I haven't tried dickering or doing a trade in, but hey, some of the stuff they get is donated, so I suppose you could try. One word of caution, make sure you know what you want before you go in, it's one of those"kid in the candy store" places for builders and remodelers.

If you garden, need mulch and don't want to pay $10 an ounce at your local hardware, take the biggest car or truck you can borrow down to Sawdust Supply (under the West Seattle Freeway). They have pre-bagged mulch in several varieties (including a bark + municipal water treatment sludge mixture for the recycling-minded) for less than half the cost of the big box stores. If you use a lot, they also deliver bulk (by the yard). I recommend the SteerCo mix - half ground bark and half steer manure - great natural weed control plus soil amendment rolled into one.

SHED is a design/build collective founded by four UW architecture grads with a passion for spare, thoughtful building design coupled with exacting craftsmanship in construction and detailing. With several award-winning public commissions (including the Pike Place Market museum) and a growing list of private residences to their credit, the group is quietly building a reputation for excellent work. In addition, the partners have individually and collectively shown their conceptual design work at a range of local galleries and exhibit spaces, and have been as well received for their theoretical contributions as for their built structures. If want a design partner who will challenge you to create great design and great space, SHED is a great place to start.

Unless you're a contractor, you'd never know that the big brick building on Stone Way is one of the best-stocked electrical supply shops in town. Don't be intimidated by the gruff exterior - pull in around back and belly up to the counter.
You can't browse the aisles like you can at the big box stores, but if you know what kind of electrical supplies you need (everything from fixtures and cable to tools and controls), they've got it on hand, and for a great price. Even an electrical novice like me can come away with just what I needed (with a little help from the patient folks behind the counter). Recommended.

More
My wife and I had the remodel from hell - halfway through demo, with the roof off and winter coming, we ran into unexpected foundation problems. In the end, we had to dig out 2/3 of our foundation, drive 85 steel pilings (and watch our hole in the ground fill with water for 2 unplanned months). Swenson Say & Faget were the folks that put us back on solid ground. We didn't have much contact with them (our architect hired them), but they cranked out the studies and structural recommendations that we needed to solve our problems. Can't speak for their interpersonal skills, but our house is still standing...
