    Bad job coming

    Thread Starter: Tom M King

    I have these two raised panel garage doors to refinish on a lake rental house.

    Dumb answers to dumb questions

    Thread Starter: Zachary Hoyt

    I used to feel frustrated when I would have listed something for sale on Craigslist or Facebook and included the town where I lived, and instead of looking it up on their devices people would write to me to ask "where is Orwell" (where I used to live) or now "where is Piercefield?".
