For over nine months now, my wife and I have been toiling over what to do about our home located on Bon Air Mountain in White County TN. It is a beautiful home hidden on the mountain with very quiet cows for neighbors, but for some reason I just can’t get over the defects that have been uncovered since living in this house. It may be that these defects can be fixed, but should I really be responsible for spending the money to fix things that were supposed to be “FIXED” in the first place? I have to ask David Sims this same question. David is the builder of this home. He did a great job with the “look and feel” of it. However, I am reluctant to give him a recommendation due to the fact that corners were cut with the manufacturing of this home, and I’m not talking about with a saw.

Jeffrey Zeldman Presents : Floats, clears, and color flashes
Floats, clears, and color flashes
After viewing this site’s redesign in progress, Peter Petrus wrote:
[Y]ou’re using footer to clear floats (content + sidebar). This creates a large drawback, because before footer is downloaded and displayed in the browser, parent wrapper lacks any background.
It means that we’re staring on black text / orange background combo for a few moments. Well, few moments now, but should you put any unresponsive widgets in the sidebar, everything can render much slower. Having main content flash like this isn’t very pleasant – especially when you named the redesign “Designing from the content out”.
Solution is very simple – use ‘:after’ clearing for the main wrapper. Sure, it won’t work on IE, but 1) setting width to wrapper sets hasLayout and triggers clearing 2) #footer is still there, in any case.
I’d read about using “:after” clearing but hadn’t implemented it and thought I could solve the problem an easier way. This afternoon, with about five minutes’ work, I did so.

AWESOME! Winter is here, the freezing cold is abundant, and smokers (thank god im not one any more) are standing in the cold. Well WishingFish.com has you covered. I have never seen this kind of wear made exclusively for smokers. Normally, we/they got the cold shoulder (pun intended). This is great. I quit smoking 7 months ago. This would have been nice though. Enjoy smokers!
