You all are sad people

Yeah I own a landscape business but I build duplexes on the side for retirement. My wife works for Pullte Homes which is a very big company. She works on the inspection side of things. So thanks for just closing my thread. Much appreciated. I dont need the help of people anyway. Show some respect.....

You come here and lie to us,
then ask for advice,
and respect?
Think about that.

THERE WAS NO DISRESPECT intended, if you look at the website agenda carefully you will notice that it is for contracting proffessionals to discuss various aspects of our trade, your questions where not the type of questions that one pro would ask another. it was more appropriate for a DIY type of format.

I was completely serious in my suggestion to ask for interior decorating advice over at DIYChat
If you were talking application, OK...
But ID?
Over there is the place to be for that sort of stuff

Throwing Pulte's name out there is not good. They are cheap hacks.

All of us are sad? I didn't even see this thread until you gave up, how does that make me (or anyone) sad except you...

And if you don't need help, why ask?

Forget the remodel advice...

I recommend you learn how to work a camera, before a paintbrush: http://photographyreview.webphotosch...E-3/index.html

You can thank me later; check out their forums, and post your pictures there... They should be able to assist you in your endeavors.

Sorry everyone was so mean. I promise to be much nicer.

In fact, I am going to go above an beyond what most of these mean jerks went.

Most of them only told you to go to a DIY forum. Me? Just because I am a nice guy and all that; I will not just tell you to go to a DIY forum, I will even give you the link to one.

Here you go: http://www.diychatroom.com/

There, now you can see at least one person on this forum is nice and helpful.

Dude was looking for an interior decorator to give him free advice here on ct. If you're bored, click on his name, click on view more posts, you'll find it. Not that exciting, but kinda humorous!
