QUICK HITS - IF YOU DONT ACT DONT BITCH
Today I learned that the effort to recall the Mayor of KCMO is 7,000 votes short of the 17k needed. How is that possible? This guy and his hunchback are more embarrassing to the metro than anything that I can remember. If this doesn't pass I don't want to hear another person complain or blog about this guy if they reside in the KCMO city limits. Is it possible that there aren't 17k people in KCMO that know how to sign their name? That has to be the only explanation.
1. NOW, (after everyone called them out) the White House is going to release "a photo" from Obamas near terrorist attack on NYC. The question here is WHY only "A PHOTO"? how about all the photos you idiots, we paid for them..
2. Bristol Palin would make a great democrat. Do one thing but expect other to do another.
3. I agree with Rush on this. If you hate the Republican party so much then leave it. He is a lot closer to a liberal than a conservative. I wouldn't even call him a moderate.
4. Obama is more of a dictator than gangster. He is too much of a dork to be a gangster.
5. When will they learn that people will not pay for the news on the interenet?
6. Saudi women have the hottest eye lashes.
7. The idiots in Washington seem to be guessing on the amount needed to "save our economy". How are we suppose to believe that this amount will be the final amount? Your money is being flushed down the toilet by lawyers and elitist in Washington.
8. Arnie is leading the way on legalizing weed. Conservatives should be taking the lead on making this happen. I never have and never will use this stuff but making this crap illegal seems idiotic.
9. 20,000 more jobs to be created!!!!! Great news right? No. Just more government expansion.
10. When you paint a turd it still remains a turd. KCMO needs to realize this.
THE WIRE - CLICK CLACK
The beautiful sound of weapons emptying rounds filled the night air once again in the metro. If you hear the sound "click clack" duck!
1. Man with 3 grams of weed talking on his cell phone at 45th and Troost gets shot in the mouth and it is news? I call that status quo.
2. Meth labs in KCMO apartment complexes nearly out number pools at JOCO complexes.
3. KCK ends its scoring drought last night with 1 person murdered and 1 person injured in an evening shooting.
4. Man dumped at hospital after suffering life threatening wounds from a gunshot in KCMO.
5. Prairie Village kids skip guns and knives and go straight for the WMD's.
GREAT GITMO VIDEO
I just got this video clip from a reader that is obviously a well informed citizen. Enjoy.
HOW FITTING!
Is it any surprise that WYCO is leading the pack in pig flu outbreaks in Kansas? Even though they have it, indoor plumbing has never really caught on in most of the area. I would advise the rest of the Metro to avoid direct contact with that area.
SOJOCO residents I would advise that we avoid all contact with people residing on the otherside of 87th street just in case.
BILL TALKS KITCHENS THIS WEEK.
Residents of KCMO and KCK pay special attention to this one. If you want to upgrade the value of your home it starts in the Kitchen, not by putting a sofa and mattress on the side of your house.
Since a lot of people these days are still a little jittery about “moving up” when it comes to buying a home, it is a good time to improve what they already own! Many people fix up their homes right before they sell them. WHY??? If you’re going to pay for the improvements, shouldn’t you enjoy them?
An upgraded kitchen is probably the best improvement you can make. Of course, with any project, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. Before starting anything, you need to do a little planning. Ask yourself a few important questions:
1: Do you like the way the cabinets are currently laid out?
2: Is it time for new appliances? Do you really NEED stainless steel?
3: It’s time for countertops, what is the best surface for your needs?
4: What do I want for a backsplash? Tile? Granite? Synthetic?
5: Do you have adequate lighting?
6: What are you going to do about your floor?
These are just the major ones! There are a LOT of decisions to be made, but all are important for a successful project!
If you are happy with the layout of your cabinets, there is probably no need to replace them. Painting them properly can completely change the look of your kitchen without the high cost of new cabinets. Stained cabinets can be successfully painted! Think about replacing doors and drawers with a fresh, new style. You’ll be surprised at the difference it can make! You cabinets can also be modified to accommodate new appliances. Changing the hardware to a newer style or finish can also make a difference.
New countertops can also make a huge difference in the look of a kitchen. You don’t have to go with a high end granite or synthetic for an upscale look. There are many attractive laminate colors and finishes. Not only that, there are different edge treatments available.
Believe it or not, the countertop in the above picture is NOT granite! It’s a laminate with a 180 wrap edge.
Stainless steel appliances are the IN thing right now, but they are not the only option. Depending on your cabinets and colors, black appliances may fit the bill just fine. You just need to make sure they will fit in your cabinet layout. Did you always want your microwave to hang above your range? Now is the time to do it! Again, your cabinets can easily be modified.
If you are doing all of this, you will need to address your backsplash. You don’t NEED natural stone. There are many patterns in ceramic tile that mimic the look at a fraction of the price. It’s also a good time to add under/above cabinet lighting if you desire.
If your floor is in good shape and you like it the way it is, great! You don’t HAVE to do it, just make sure it all works together with the rest of the colors in the kitchen. If you have wood floors, you should consider refinishing them now. When it comes to wood floors, always opt for the additional coat or upgraded Glitza finish for a long life.
Just remember, there’s a right way and a wrong way to paint cabinets. Preparation is the key! Please don’t go o Home Depot and buy some white latex paint and go to town! It will fail in no time. Latex paint should NEVER by applied to cabinetry and woodwork!
