• How To Find an Interior Designer in Evanston, Illinois

  Interior designers have specialized training for larger assignments. According to Anne Reagan, editor-in-chief of Porch.com, a website that connects homeowners with contractors, they've often attended college courses in architecture and project management and frequently have certifications from organizations such as the American Society of Interior Designers. These pros may assist homeowners in selecting colors,... Source: about 1 year ago

• Companies that can help remodel a small half bathroom?

  Porch.com, homeadvisor.com, and sites like that may help. I agree with the earlier comment on using a handyman vs a larger firm. It's interesting at times to see how small things you might not anticipate can surface when you do even small jobs at home. Source: over 1 year ago

• Went to unlock the front door of my house today. There is no other door and all the windows are closed and locked.

  A few years ago I came home from a party at 1AM and got to the side garage door and instantly realized I didnt have the home key or garage door opener. Without hesitating I grabbed a fist sized rock and threw it at the side door glass.

Care.com is more popular than ever and in most markets it's far and away the most popular app outside of Facebook and its various groups. I like the site but can still acknowledge its gotten worse...

• Asking for industry standards led to me quitting

  I'm glad you stood up for yourself, in this situation, but a word of caution that much like how the care.com calculator skews low, that one skews a bit high and can fluctuate. I just looked it up and for my area I am making what it suggests...for twins. I have the highest rate I know of (mind you, only after generous raises). I've talked to other nannies with more experience who make up to $5 less than me. Look at... Source: 5 months ago

• What to do when parents sell their house.

  Absolutely don't go into any home that's not government funded. If you have extra cash, pay it to hire someone through, e.g., care.com to visit your Dad in the home and provide extra assistance. Much cheaper to pay for some extra support in a publicly funded facility than to go into a 100% privately-funded one. Source: 5 months ago
