gary mcninch: DOES IT SMELL LIKE BURNING PLASTIC??? - 06/16/12 01:38 AM
We have a wonderful dishwasher at our  Renton home! It requires very little in the way of pre-washing/rinsing and the dishes come out spotless. However, occasionally something gets into the dishwasher that shouldn’t and a misshapen piece of plastic is the result. I ran across an article recently and learned about a few things that shouldn’t be placed in the dishwasher regardless of how clean it might get them!

gary mcninch: DO YOU HAVE A CARDBOARD ROOF? A cute story...... - 06/11/12 11:12 AM
There are lots of different styles of homes in Renton. After buying a play kitchen for the grandchildren,  the box it came in morphed into a “play home” for the kids. Armed with cutting tools, duct tape, and markers they cut a door, a window and decorated! Many many happy hours of play ensued and one night it even became a bed as the 9 yr old grabbed a sleeping bag & pillow and slept the entire night with head & torso in “the box” and legs stuck out through the door. We hope your home doesn’t have a “cardboard roof” and … (1 comments)

gary mcninch: Will Your Kitchen Come In A Truck??? - 06/07/12 03:54 AM
My wife and I recently bought play kitchens for the two youngest grandchildren (two separate families - hence two kitchens). Today my wife received a call from the 3 yr old and on speaker phone he is telling my wife thank you for the kitchen that the mail truck brought. My wife says, “I’m so glad you like the kitchen Grandpa and I got for you.” His response, “Dramma, how did you get on the mail truck?” 

So after explaining that we had ordered it on the computer and asked the mail truck to deliver it to him at … (1 comments)

gary mcninch: What the Federal Reserve Did In Plain English and Rates for Renton Home Buyers - 09/23/09 09:07 AM
A Simple Explanation Of The Federal Reserve Statement (September 23, 2009 Edition)
The Federal Open Market Committee voted to leave the Fed Funds Rate within its target range of 0.000-0.250 percent.
It also reiterated plans to support the mortgage market to the tune of $1.5 trillion.
In its press release, the FOMC noted that the U.S. economy is "picking up following its severe downturn" and that financial markets have "improved further".
It's the second consecutive post-FOMC statement in which the Fed appears somewhat optimistic -- a signal that the recession will end soon, or has already ended.
That said, the … (1 comments)

gary mcninch: OH NO, Appraisal Less Than Purchase Price, What Do You Do Now to Complete the Sale of the Renton Home? - 05/01/09 06:20 AM
A Buyer asked the following question on a real estate question board for the general public:

appraisal price came back $6K less than agreed to price. seller was paying half our closing costs. i dont think i should pay anything more or pay the closing costs he agreed to pay now. we will pay the appraisal price and still expect the sellar to pay his agreed to closing cost contribution. can we ask the sellars agent or the bank to pick this portion of the closing costs if he flat out refuses. any advice ?

This is likely to happen more … (6 comments)

gary mcninch: How Would You Feel If Someone Ask You To Adopt A Different Last Name For The Ease of Others? - 04/11/09 09:40 PM
 
Please read Loreena Yeo's post about the comments from an idiot Texas congresswoman.  I'll add my comments to Loreena here.   Timely on Easter Sunday, 2009.
 
Lo --- reeee --- na,   Good lord how hard is that to say? 
This is what everyone in Texas should do. So take the idiot uninformed and totally offensive Texas politician number one,  then have her open her mouth real wide, then stick both feet clear in.  There should be room in her head for both feet, since there is a shortage of brain matter.   Her prejudice is obvious  when she says "you and … (0 comments)
