    Chevy Traverse

    Sister has a traverse that was generally good, until it just had an expensive A/C component failure/dashboard damper.....just beyond the 36k warranty. Brother had one that was decent, but w/ a few warranty claims including 1 leather seat had to be replaced. He traded before warranty was up...

    Looking for Lawn Care Companies in Des Moines

    Due to concerns w/ toddlers w/ lawn chemical allergies: We use Safe Earth (organic) - seem to do an OK job if you want corn gluten fertilizer (ISU patent), as its pricey to buy corn gluten, and not much more, if any, to buy it from them and have them apply it. They offer other services too.

    JD Power-Car reliability

    My Auto experience has matched Consumer Reports ratings. The annual surveys ask you to report on major car repair issues, and a longer term so they seem to ignore the minor warranty claims. Their rankings are somewhat different than JD Power. I have owned good vehicles and bad vehicles that...

    to all rutgers fans on our site

    Mostly classy and welcoming Rutgers fans we saw. Thanks! Also, thanks for the travel tips. A few jersey shore types, saying "b*tch" every 10 seconds, but pretty minor. I heard worse from "ISU" fans leaving at half time when we were losing to Texas.

    Insulating Basement???

    I was thinking you wanted to have the vapor barrier between the drywall/inside finished surface and insulation (on the studs over the insulation), to prevent contact of the humid inside air (which you want in the winter and may add w/ humidifier) with any temperature gradient from warm to cold...
