  1. You can order them through Lowes or Home Depot. We are planning to replace our front door with a steel Pella door (I think that is the brand) and new cut glass sidelights. Different brands will offer you different options such as fire rating, locks, etc. The one I want has a triple lock system, that can lock them all at once with one twist. One of the locks is at the top of the door. If you are just looking for any basic steel door that matches your measurements, then you can probably find one within their store stock.
  2. Yep. When I was 18 I was working in the Windy Hill Road area. An older female coworker told me about the times when a male flasher was standing outside the office building and was flashing the ladies in the early morning hours as they were coming in to work. She told me if it ever happens to me to point at "it" and laugh, then if the person can hear you ask them while you are laughing and pointing "Are you seriously proud of THAT?"! I think in her case the women eventually ran him off doing things like this. People who flash typically are looking for approval so they already have fragile egos
  3. This young injured guy is in the hospital in a coma due to brain trauma. IF he survives then he will likely have brain damage. This is just so sad and unnecessary.
  4. Just an FYI: Riding ATV's or dirt bikes on public roads, in subdivisions or on another person's property without the property owner's permission, are all ILLEGAL acts in Paulding County. An adult who allows their child to do these things is also doing so illegally. These actions can be reported to the Sheriff's Office non-emergency number. 770-445-2117
  5. I believe there is a place out in the Cedartown/Rockmart area that is a park with trails for 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. You can also camp there. However, there are fees involved, but it would be cheaper than buying your own land or an annual lease on hunting property. I wish I could think of the name of it for you but maybe someone else on here will remember it.
  6. Yes, it gives me itchy hives even though I take Zyrtec daily year round.
  7. Oh you are welcome! I hope this helps everyone. I am the night time eyes and ears on my street. LOL
  8. I was wide awake all night that night/morning and I am in the New Hope area. Between 2-2:30am early Thursday morning, 2 very large low flying jets came over the house and they were hitting their brakes very hard. I am fairly certain that is probably what everyone heard because I could FEEL the vibration inside my home they were so low and coming in so fast. These sounded like the size of large passenger jets, not defense jets or small "thunder tubes" (as my husband calls them) that hold about a dozen people. It scared me because they were coming in so low and fast. It was because they were hit
  9. The ice blue water of West Maui.
  10. I know of Maui tanning in Walmart shopping center in Dallas, but where are the other two? I need to find a location with late hours.
  11. I have never even thought about this. I guess when we meet in person I will drive you a little batty? LOL
  12. We purchased and had delivered one of those prebuilt metal sheds but ours is pretty large. It's 16W x 20L x 11H but holds the riding mower, 4 wheeler, camping gear, a little room to work on projects, etc. My husband ran a buried wire out to a breaker box inside the building so it has electrical sockets, lights inside, plus an outdoor motion light, etc. We love it! Lots of $$$$ to get it done, but it was well worth it.
  13. There is a LoJack software for laptops in case of theft, but I am not sure if there is a version for an Ipad. Check their homepage.
  14. What percentage does the bank need put down on the loan in a situation like this (on average)? This is what we would like to do in a year or two. Is it very difficult to get a loan approved for a house that isn't even built yet? I have already thought about storage versus renting a larger sized rental home and using part of the rental home to store items until the new house is built. We decided to find a larger rental home and apply any storage fees towards the rental. I would give it at least 6 months. I know what I what, so I don't think the decisions will be hard, but the actual buildi
  15. I know in Paulding county on county roads it is illegal. Yes, that also includes roads within the cities of Hiram or Dallas. Edited to add: Here is the code from Paulding Codes of Ordinances. Yes it does say State and Paulding roadways. It also says that an adult who allows a child 16 or under to violate the law is doing so illegally. It is Chapter 70: Traffic and Motor Vehicles; Article I: In General. Here is the link. http://library.munic...?clientId=11409
  16. Throwing trash on roadways is also illegal. Since you have the description of the people, the vehicle and the tag number then I would suggest calling the sheriff's office to report this. Trust me, when the same vehicle or the same people get complaints filed on them over and over by different people who witness this particular violation or other violations, then law enforcement do come to recognize who the violators are.
  17. Riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers AT ALL on the PUBLIC roads in Paulding is illegal. Both are only allowed on private roads and private property with permission of the property owners. Contact the Sheriff's office or the Marshal's office. Marshal's: (770) 443-9768 Sheriff's non-emergency number: (770) 445-2117
  18. I think the pilot light on our new one is further up from the floor up the side. The pilot also has some kind of new emergency automatic shut off built into it. Maybe that has something to do with it?
  19. We have had a new gas water heater installed 2 weeks ago. Our plumber explained to me that the old ones had to be on the stands due to something about ventilation. Our new one does have vents on the lower sides that our old one didn't. This was Mr. Plumber and the plumber that came out had been with the company for more than a decade as a licensed plumber, so I assumed he knew what he was doing. PLEASE let me know what you find out from the county office as we are also in Paulding.
  20. I showed 6.10 mbs download and .43mbs upload with FastAccess® DSL Xtreme 6.0 in the New Hope area within Paulding. Our upload has always been bad but I didn't realize how bad it was until just now when it showed a comparison to other U.S. areas. UGH! Last year I got a tip from AT&T in the HIram location to go in there and speak with them about a quote for Uverse as they can usually go lower than what you can get from signing up online. We were given a very good quote at that time but we were going out of town and it wasn't going to be valid by the time we returned. I need to make
  21. Yes a contact lense exam and fitting is very different than an eye exam for glasses, they also require separate prescriptions. Usually contact lenses are about .25 of a point different than eye glasses. Also the DIAMETER of the pupil has to be measured and the curve of the eyeball itself has to measured. Some people have problems with thicker contacts and some have problems with thinner contacts. I have very dry eyes with an almost flat curve but I love the way I don't notice my Acuvue 2 contacts are even there. Mine do come with a very light tint of aqua and my eyes are a blue/green, so they
  22. Try the framing department in Michael's Craft Store as they also do matting. There is another craft and sewing store off of Barrett Parkway behind Best Buy that does framing and matting. I can't remember their name though.
  23. Yes, only run the cold water when flushing out the water lines. If you run the hot water then the sediment will fall to the bottom of your water heater and likely will remain in there until your next yearly flushing of the water heater. Sometimes the sediment is coming from the water main but sometimes it can be coming from your water heater. A couple of weeks ago I noticed my bath water was light brown tinted before I even stepped a toe into it! LOL I let all the water out of the tub then I ran hot water into it and found the hot water to be brownish. I then emptied the tub again and ran
  24. The person who found the camera is a very nice person. She was my hairdresser for several years over 20 years ago. Here is a link to a Facebook album that only contains the pictures in the found camera. She is hoping someone will recognize some of the people in the photos. They look like family photos. One of them is a picture of 2 boxer dogs and one of them is a picture of a quilt that looks handmade. I am sure that is unique to someone out there. Album on FB with pictures from camera.
