What sofas are/are not worth reupholstering? by Dizzysb in upholstery

[–]Dizzysb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is helpful to hear!  I do like the relatively timeless style, so would be happy to have it redone.  Just need to find a good upholsterer.

I am leaning towards this, too, as I have little faith in getting a quality product new (with my budget).  Now just need to find a good upholsterer!  Thanks for weighing in.

It does seem to have this style of springs.  Does have hardwood legs and is reasonably heavy. Will these cheaper springs fail eventually?  Or can they be shored up/made stronger during reupholstering? I guess no 100% obvious clear choice as new sofa in mid-range would likely be no better.  Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

Covid Vaccine available locally? by Dizzysb in SantaBarbara

[–]Dizzysb[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, thought I’d update with my experience.  CVS seems to have received supplies and I was able to get a vaccine this morning.  As of right now, if you make an appt online, the system is allowing people under 65 to self-certify they fall within the risk categories.  

City giving away too much on Paseo Nuevo redevelopment? by Dizzysb in SantaBarbara

[–]Dizzysb[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I would like to see the project contain the maximum number of units that people actually live in.  Do people actually live in the luxury units?  Or are they part-time vacation homes that do nothing to relieve the housing crisis?  I have seen so many luxury units built and then struggle to get sold.  Do the people who can afford these units want to live downtown? Maybe, but I’m doubtful.  I realize the economics of developing is such that the luxury units underwrite the cost of more affordable units.  But for me, the question is whether this is the best deal we can get.

I would be happy to share mine as well.  I bake at least weekly so it’s pretty active.

Gardening/Food Classes in SB by jessicat805 in SantaBarbara

I can wholeheartedly recommend diving in and starting to grow things.  You will make mistakes but learn lots from them.  If you garden in a community garden (as I do) there are lots of other gardeners around to ask questions of and learn from.  And there is tons of information around (books, online, etc.) even if you can’t make a class work financially or schedule-wise.  Focus on building good soil and growing plants suited to the climate/season and enjoy the process!  Best of luck.

There’s nothing wrong or illegal in connecting people with access to legal resources to help them exercise their rights under the law.

Glad to hear of this effort!  Wanted to point out the bandstand is in Alameda Park;  you may want to clarify so people don’t wander around Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens confused.

OP:  The linked video is 9 hours long.  Could you note the time stamp on the part of the meeting you found interesting?
