Looking for a tile setter for a small job in West Seattle. Involves removing some outdoor tile on steps and replacing with new tile (slate). I have the tile and grout. If interested, please provide contact info and hourly rate.

I recently had a door replaced through Emerald City Energy. They actually provided the new door as well as the installation. Getting an estimate was really easy. Their work was really good, they were very easy to deal with, and their prices were on par with other vendors. I wish I would have known about them before replacing the first of my exterior doors.

2MuchWhine.. i too have a great relationship with my immediate neighbors.. although we lost one a couple of weeks ago to a heart attack…
but although we do have a block party once a year that everyone comes to.. well.. except me. i am still not what we can call recovered enough to party much… i can’t say that i know most of them well enough to do more than say hello.
for example. wednesday night we were at the library and one of my neighbors was in there with his son signing up for library cards… i did finally stop and say hello but i had to stop and think carefully about why his face was so familiar. My husband didn’t recognize him at all.
I am considered a good neighbor but i think that falls more than a little short of my definition.

It’s so funny how it works isn’t it? We moved in and the first Christmas I baked my neighbors cookies and we met them etc., that was four years ago, now everyone has 6 foot tall fences, no one even waves when getting the mail and we all keep to ourselves even though we blatantly see one another, what happened to being able to rely on your neighbors, we’ve turned into a bunch of cubicles rather than a cohesive unit.

Many thanks to the kind neighbors and strangers that helped me look for my lab, Max when he got out of the yard. Max found his way to another kindred spirit, also named Max a few blocks away and Max’s kind parents went looking for my Max’s owner and by the grace of dog gods in heaven we connected and I got my Max back. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart and I love my WS neighbors!

I live in an apartment with 8 units. There was a time when we all knew each other, spoke to each other. I now speak with people in 4 .5 of them. There are others who would rather walk over you as you struggle with your walker going out the door, than stop and say, hi, need some help …yes that happened to me recently. This building is on a block of apartment buildings, all full. Nope, I don’t know any of them except for one I have met using the senior services shuttle. Have not a clue as to who the rest of the people are on this block. We don’t have a block watch, we don’t do the Night Out…we all stay cooped up in our little cocoons. It’s all kind of anonymous, I guess. Funny thing is, I’m now friends with the woman who used to live across the alley from our building. I didn’t meet her until after she had moved.

I finally made it into their place recently as I thought it relevant to dine there on Sept 11th, and was really happy to see one of my favorite meals on the menu, pot roast. Being only one of 3 tables occupied the meal arrived rather quickly.

The staff was attentive and polite, and the plate was filled with a good portion of food which was a tad less than tasty, but still enjoyable.

The down-sides were: I always order ‘water without ice’, and usually drain the first glass fairly quickly as I like to fill my belly with water before a meal, but my waiter (who brought me the drink) refilled the glass with ice-water, with lots of ice! (I don’t like drinking cold water!, and I know this isn’t a big deal, however it’s part of the over-all experience and something servers should be conscience of.)

Secondly, with an empty plate and utensils placed along the forward edge as I was taught, I sat and waited for 8 minutes and witnessed my waiter and another having a long and involved conversation behind the bar where I was in full view and earshot of the entire time, never once being checked-on (at this point 3 more tables had gained customers). Fortuneately there was football (English and Spanish broadcasts of the same game) on the many TV’s in the place to help occupy the time.

Their dialog was finally broken-up by manager or owner when my waiter went into back for another minute or so, then finally came by to check on me, took the proffered card for payment and quickly returned with the paperwork.

I did write the above onto the back of the customer copy of the receipt and left for their review, hopefully saving others from the same treatment.

My plans are to go back and give them another shot as their were many items on the menu that appealed to me, thus I’m glad to read to two positive reviews above.

I’ve been thinking about our community coming together and building a ‘Tiny Home’… on wheels, for … Someone. Maybe for someone to use and then hand over to the next person who needs it. And that maybe someone … or ones… who have property can allow the “Tiny Home” and inhabitant … to stay a while…

I’m always thinking… it’d be great to align with others that think too … and DO <3

It is extremely important that anyone looking to hire a contractor verify their status with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. All of this can be done on line. They are there to protect you and can provide much valuable information! If you don’t vet the contractor you can really suffer some consequences, financial and otherwise.

I would like to offer a different and I believe more accurate review of Owen Wright at Wright Innovations and Design. The above recommendation is inaccurate. For example Owen, has no “crew”, he picks up his help whenever and wherever. I hired him to add an addition to my garage and am finding that I am having to redo and fix everything he has done. The work was not done according to the contract he wrote and our discussions. In the May time frame he left materials and tools laid about and he simply never showed up again. Earlier in this nightmare experience due to his money problems he asked for payments before meeting contract milestones. He does not show up when he says, if at all. The project which he said would take 4 weeks, was never really finished. Recently, I contacted him to be sure he was aware of the issues with the project. His method of dealing with these issues was to call me a liar and swear at me. He then reiterated this including the filthy language in a text message, which I actually appreciated because the behavior is so unstable that by putting this in writing, he has given me proof of behavior that in no way belongs in a business setting. The content is not appropriate for this forum or anywhere. This has been my experience with “Wright Innovations”. I suggest staying as far away as possible. I wish I had. It is a sad state of affairs when people like this can call themselves a general contractor.

[alki_2008]

@KBear – I’m overly cautious when driving around bikes. I’ve had my car trunk hit/punched by a biker because I was in “their lane” to make a right turn and they didn’t like having to wait behind me. No damage to my car, but still annoying. That happened once. I’ve gotten some dirty looks from other cyclists, usually those that would be classified as “serious cyclists” with their bike-specific outfits. I find that casual cyclists, like those around Alki Beach, are less confrontational and are more likely to slow down or stop if cars or pedestrians are “in their way”.

Regarding pedestrians. I’ve seen “serious cyclists” go through stop signs and through crosswalks against the red hand, even if there are pedestrians walking through said crosswalk. There was one instance downtown where a cyclist rode through a crosswalk and almost hit a kid. The parent said something like “watch out” to the cyclist and he responded by cursing back as he rode away. It was a busy crosswalk, as several people had just gotten off the water taxi, and we had the green walk sign. I’ve seen plenty of other times that “serious cyclists” have blown through crosswalks and stop signs without even slowing down. I freely admit that I usually don’t make a complete stop at stop signs while biking, but I do slow down and check for cars before going through.
