For installing a new water heater we used Brennan (http://www.brennanheating.com/), and we were very happy with them — professional, fast, and reasonably priced — but I don’t know if they do what you need done.
I have heard great things about Guy Nelson from CBC Plumbing, but when I tried to hire him for something, he was too busy — perhaps a good sign.
Hello,
As the New Year comes upon us so do the resolutions. I would like to kick start my fitness routine. I would love to find a gym or personal trainer that is in West Seattle. I belonged to All Star a few years back. I would like to get your take on the different gyms or your personal trainers. Also if you could include the cost that would be great too.
Thanks so much and Happy New Year
I would like to throw in my two cents and say that Diva Espresso makes a decent cup of coffee. C&P have GREAT baristas and the atmosphere is nice. Java Bean in my books is a NO GO!! I would rather wait in a line of 10 cars up at the 35th SBUX.
I am so-far quite satisfied with the message boards. I have for some time been looking for a place to communally kvetch about the ridiculously long east/west traffic-light at California and Charleston. Now ‘the Blog’, as it is referred to be my close circle, has given me this opportunity.
Keep up the good work

Their sign said something about teas … they may have an opening there now that T(ea) Gallery is focusing on downtown.
I’m waiting for The Bohemian…there’s just something about the name that I can relate to :)
Sue…I’ve actually considered printing notes that I can leave on someone’s windshield. The other’s that I so love are the ones who park in the grid next to the handicapped space, like it’s there for them to park on. I need space to open my door all the way, and that sure doesn’t help.
We know a lot of people in WSB-land won’t notice the new addition till things get serious after the holidays. But for everyone who’s here and participating, we’re awaiting feedback on this new addition – especially forum sections you’d like to see added, as we keep experimenting. Thanks!
Merry Christmas everyone!! Just got home from work and looking for somewhere to eat. Anyone know of anything open now? Thanks for you’re help.
Beacon is decently priced (they don’t charge an emergency surcharge for weekend work like most of the big ones) and very professional. We’ve used them to fix an internal flooding issue, but never for upgrades or remodels.
If you’re just doing hot water heater work, you can try some of the services that specialize in water heaters, like Action, Fast, or Benla.
Ken’s Lawn Service will do both routine maintenance and specific one-off jobs. I think their recurring service is limited to just cutting the grass; I don’t know if they offer complete landscaping on a routine basis, such as continual gardening. But we’ve used them for annual pruning and clean up and they did a great job.
For larger trees, we’ve also used Davie’s Tree Service. They also did a great job trimming back one of our larger trees so that it continued to thrive after the trimming.
We ended up enjoying an excellent Christmas Dim Sum lunch at House of Hong, along with the rest of Seattle that wasn’t cooking at home. The ID was much busier than expected but well worth braving the other non-traditionalists and waiting on a table. :)
We just drove thru The Junction en route to drinks @ Hotwire … Be’s is open.
Looks like it’s beer and pulltabs at Poggie’s!
One of my issues with crowded parking lots is when people take handicapped spots when they don’t have a handicapped placard or plate. We went to the farmers market yesterday and saw there was one last handicapped spot, but the woman in front of us pulled in. As we began to pass her, she got out of the car we noticed she did not put up a placard, so we beeped at her and held up ours. She was visibly very annoyed that we called her on it, but to her credit she did pull out of the spot. I can’t stand when people think the rules don’t apply to them because they’ll be there “just a second” or whatever their excuse is.
Cruiser – I concur with this list. Southcenter is the 9th ring of hell. I try to avoid it altogether, but yesterday we had to go there. I experience all 10 on your list, and then this one – people who walk around the mall with zero clue of the space around them!! Like the crazy lady yesterday who was tearing thru Macy’s w/ her stroller, coming right at me. Uh hello, do you even see that I exist, or is your stroller more important than me. Hey, no problem, go ahead and run over my foot…I wouldn’t want to get in your way! Arrrgghhh… Whew, got that out of my system
I will be in need of a small 1 car type garage near 41st/Fauntleroy/Calif area, beginning in mid January. We are doing some remodeling and need to store some family furniture and a small car for few months or longer? Many Thanks if you know of one or have one and need a bit of income…

Can’t find a menu online.
So the other night I was feeling incredibly lazy and we didn’t have any food in the house. I wasn’t in the mood for pizza, but couldn’t think of anyone else who delivers out here. Any suggestions for future reference? Links to online menus would be most helpful too… thanks!
I can’t believe Coffee To A Tea isn’t mentioned at the Junction. The women that run C2AT are awesome!
I also think that Easy Street is usually overlooked and underrated. Try the MudHoney…it’s awesome and they make some of the best foam in the area!
I highly reccomend JD Johnson Construction located on California across the street from “O’Neil the Plumber”. Great people to work with and do excellent work!
