POLL: What is the most important thing to men in a "man space?"
Comments (132)I find the question to this topic quite interesting. I answered "other". I think it really doesn't matter where the "man space" is or what it looks like. If the guy has an area that he frequently goes to and knows he can chew loudly, scratch, burp and pass gas without someone to hear and complain about it then they are happy. LOL. Now i realize this is probably why a relative stopped visiting me- I couldn't handle the noises LOL...See MorePOLL: What's important when a contractor is working in your home?
Comments (27)All of the above. Looking clean and professional is not as important to me as the others. I would also add to clean up after themselves. Don't leave trash from lunch, cigarettes or the job....See MorePOLL: Most important part of hosting a dinner party at home?
Comments (80)They all play a part... but, far and away, the quality of the guests and a liberal supply of social lubricant seem to be the most important. I've been a guest at a party where the chicken was raw, the side burnt, and someone was injured during a racous game of spoons... and that night is one of many that is very fondly relived every time we see each other again....See MorePOLL: What's important when choosing a home builder/remodeler?
Comments (38)Call me cynical. I built a home with a reputable builder. This home cost $400k to build in the 90s. 3 yrs later- very wet home. Builder could care less. It cost me $25k to sue this builder to get the insurance money to rebuild my home. Other homes were also affected. This was due to incorrect installation of windows, improper flashing, inadequate gutter size etc. Consequences to my builder? None. When I called the builder's association, they didn't care. I filed with the bbb. My husband and I were both professionals. We did our homework. Most builders are in it to make profits. I have a great builder now in a new house. It is all about craftsmanship and attention to detail....See MoreGerety Building and Restoration
