It is surprising what they will and will not cover! I spilled bleach on my rug, a quarter-size spot, and got new rugs from my HO insurance.

Wall-e
I love Pixar and Disney and I found it painful to watch. Also my hubby and 8 and 11 year old. Absolute boredom!!

we tore down the wall, sm
we had a double wide though and wanted to fix it up to sell. we tore down the wall joing the kitchen to the living room and made a bar just like you are talking about. opened it up so much and looked beautiful, actually what sold the house. didn't make a difference at all in load bearing, but not sure it would be the same in a single wide. also, may need electrical help (my brother did this for us as he is an electrician), cuz wires were hanging all through those walls. so be careful of hot wires if you decide to attempt it.

I would love to be a fly on the wall if you and Sis ever did

drag it out from the wall
I would pull it out of from the wall, put poison chunks in the hole, seal the hole, scrub down the stove with gloves and a mask and baking soda, go to a different appliance store and ask for new insulation, turn on the oven at about 500 for two hours to kill everything else and make my pizza.

wall mounted scratchers
Here are a couple of links, hope this helps, not exactly a 2 sided doorway attachment, but they might work. Also go to petsmart website and they have a little 2 sided plastic comb that attaches to your door frame for like 5 bucks. Good luck, all for the animals.

The writing is on the wall, so to speak
You make a difference in the g'parents- your children are picking up on this. I had a similar thing going on with my son- my mother did all the loving, fun things he wanted- my father (they were divorced, each remarried) was strict, no fun to be around, hardworking but I believed in their being able to share and I did. Both are deceased now and I do not regret having him spend as much time with 1 as the other. Oh, BTW, one of my most enjoyable things as a child was when I spent time with my father and his wife- they had a small garden and I absolutely loved to dig up the potatoes- used to beg to get to do it. You should have a good talk with everyone and insist spending time with all- don�t let your feelings play into their hesitancy on going. Grandparents are not always right but she wants to have some time with them. Not all g'parents want to be bothered with kids, believe it or not.

I have a sheltie that ate the wall, among other things sm
Ate the carpet, bath mats, loved to steal clothes out of the dryer while unloading, and dryer sheets (very toxic for dogs). We decided she had separation anxiety. Tried the whole ticking clock thing, radio on, and crate etc. We had a sturdy nylon crate (the $70 kind, not the flimsy $20 kind) and she ate through it. I finally had to end up working with her in my office, which is upstairs, and slowly gradually moved her across the room, into the hallway, and finally downstairs. It was a long process. Took a training class and of course they say "a bored dog is a bad dog." Had bunches of toys of different types, textures, strengths, bones, etc. Nothing worked until we did the progressive separation technique.

bull, he was not too drunk he has a girlfriend. See the writing on the wall. nm

She is DENSE, don't bother any longer. Like talking to a wall...

Buy duct-tape at hardware store. Tape baby to wall

I like an inside water fountain or a water wall. Saw it on

I remember that when our carpeting
was ripped out, there were urine stains on the wood, so before laying the new laminate flooring they sealed the wood with a special sealant paint. Surely there is something like that for concrete? Painted concrete looks good anyway IMO.
