This place is a blast. My friends and I even drove out from Gresham one time just to go. Really laid back and "homeish" but they have the craziest burger combos you'll ever see. Tons of variety...but only of hamburgers. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. After a day skiing or snowboarding on the mt, you can't go wrong with a burger and a beer!

I had been hearing great things about this place for years, and last week I finally made the trip out with a couple of friends. And all I can say is, wow, it was easily worth the drive.
The Food:
Calamity Jane's has some of the best tasting burgers around, and with a pretty extensive menu, they've got every kind of burger you can think of ranging from mundane to "why would they even make that?" - so regardless of your taste, there will be something to suit you. and I can attest to the fact that the marshmallow and hot fudge burger is actually quite good. Their milkshakes are also fantastic, and quite large.
The Atmosphere:
The restaurant has a western sort of theme, and while the theme has been done to death, Calamity Jane's did a good job at at least making it look good. There is nothing fancy about the place, they don't try to win you over with a ton of decorations, it just feels like home.
Service:
The one time I went was on a Tuesday night, and it was fairly early in the evening, so we basically had the whole place to ourselves. Looking back, I think we were only three other occupied tables. Regardless, our waitress was quite friendly, and service was quick.
My one gripe about Calamity's is that it's kind of a long drive from home. If you live in the Sandy area, it's going to be right down the street, but I, like most people in Oregon live in the Portland area. If my memory serves me right, the drive was about 40 minutes one way. But in spite of the long drive, I am definitely glad I made the trip out, and I'm already thinking about going back.
In short, if you like a good hamburger, you'll love Calamity Janes
Pros: great food, good atosphere, friendly staff
Cons: a bit of a drive

Mr. Jackson was very easy to work with, communicated well, did the project for what I feel was a fair price, and his crew arrived on time and when they were scheduled.
This was a very difficult new copper gutter installation -- a 3.5 story home with steep vegetated slopes on two sides. The new gutters were first installed without the crew using a level, and after finding that almost all of the sections retained half a gallon of water without draining properly, I requested that they remove the gutters, use a level, relocate the brackets, and reinstall them properly. Mr. Jackson was agreeable to this, and had his crew back the following day.
The house had just been painted a month prior to the gutter project. I had
to tell the crew to use foam pads on the ladder tips and to not bounce the ladders along the walls to move them. There were a half-dozen marks and gouges into the paint which I have had to touch up, and numerous dirty fingerprints on the white fascia boards holding the gutters.
For the most part, the job turned out well. The crew cleaned up reasonably well, but I have picked up at least 50 nails and screws from the areas under the new gutters. As I said, Mr. Jackson worked hard to make sure I was pleased, and that the work was completed to my specifications. I would consider using his services again should the need arise.

My wife and I have been eating at Thai home for five years now, and it never gets old. After a few years, we wanted to give it a "taste-test"; we tried it out on two parents who actually lived in Thailand for a number of years (one who is VERY picky about his Thai food). Both said it was some of the best Thai cuisine they had eaten since living in Thailand. We've also taken other family and friends there, and heard nothing but rave reviews.
Pros: amazing/authentic food, attentive service, variety of dishes
Cons: a bit cramped if you have a large party
