Sorry, I guess I worded that badly. I didn't mean there is no impact for a business owner, but that the customers I deal with (in my corporate owned job) want something now (usually for free) when something goes wrong, and if *I* personally don't do it quickly enough or the way the customer...

Because an employed manager has (several) bosses above him who only care about customer retention. In every corporation I have worked for, if I try to do anything except give the customer exactly what they want, they complain to corporate, get what they want plus some and then I get in trouble...

Yes, it is amazing and it only gets better as it sits. I use it like a coffee concentrate and cut it about 1 to 2 or 3 parts milk.

That was kind of the idea, but with all the doors, it would be very tight to put a table in, too, especially since we want to make it able to sleep two people if necessary.

One of our two room suites (bedroom, one bathroom, and living room) currently has a kitchen sink installed in one corner. My initial thought was to take out the kitchen sink and replace it with a nice vessel sink to make a small wet bar. However, the room is about 12x12 and had four doors...

While oats are gf, most types of oatmeal are not because of processing. Unless she just doesn't eat oats period.

Since our inn was in foreclosure, I'm not positive on how it was set up, but there is an set of bedrooms with a bathroom in between that were likely rented separately that will be a two room suite. Another set of rooms downstairs had two bathrooms but they were both in the same hallway outside...

The mls listed 8 bedrooms. We found 8, thought that was it, but then when we got the appraisal, there were pictures of two other rooms we had not seen. Turned out the previous owner has blocked access to the rooms by building a small pantry off the kitchen and the two rooms were only accessible...

Vegans also will not eat white sugar, FYI.

FYI, the brown packets are still processed. Not as processed as white sugar, but still processed. Really raw sugar isn't very sweet and has a very strong flavor (to me it is kind of acidic). I like to mix all the colors together to deter thieves. They usually want only one color and picking...

It always amazes me how people with severe allergies don't take responsibility for them. When I was waiting tables, i had a man once have an allergic reaction to a Caesar salad. He asked if there were any nuts. No. Then he asked if there was any seafood. Of course, anchovies. He never mentioned...

My husband did wood vanities for a couple of the bathrooms. I painted with latex paint (I have been using valspar) and then followed up with a couple coats of water based polyurethane (rustoleum semi gloss). I was worried about the paint holding up to all the water. So far no issues, even with...

Just curious because I have always worked in good service where we deal in food cost percentage, do you break the cost down? Like, if eggs are $3 for 18, and you make three egg omlettes, you spend $0.50 per person in eggs. Or do you just take your grocery bill and figure, I spent $100 and made...

I am in the process of renovating and $50k is not enough. We are doing mostly cosmetic stuff and mostly ourselves (my husband happens to be very handy) but it is still expensive, and there are some bigger issues that were not immediately apparent, like the giant water leak that started a few...

I have two of these at my house - one randomly outside, by the pond and one built in to the porch outside the kitchen. I don't know if there is a secret way to use them, but we just use it as as grill. There is a door below the grill but it holds the ashes and coals, no oven or smoker. It *is*...
