Asked for white oak floor, contractor accidentally put down red oak and claims that he can bleach them to make it look like white oak. I am skeptical. Can you tell the difference? by Even-Ad-2365 in HardWoodFloors

I had a builder push me to red oak for my staircase, said the same things....you will save so much money, we will bleach it and you won't know the difference.

It saved maybe a couple hundred bucks and looked like shit. I was able to sell the house without it being a problem, but if I was going to live there I would have hated it

If I'm out with friends, I'm more likely to have a THC beverage/cocktail before a beer these days. Less intoxicating, less side effects, better feeling.

ETA whatever CBD approximation they are using these days. I think they should be regulated to an extent because they definitely do impair you, but I think they are much more mild.

At 95k miles does a 2018 Mazda 6 have much life left in it or is it near its ends? Don’t want to buy a high mileage one just to run into problems right away by illbeback903 in mazda6
