						 <p>While it's not a parking lot, you might want to try the Georgetown area - Between Airport Way and 1st Ave, north of Michigan. There are a lot of Warehouse areas with empty parking lots and many deserted streets on the weekends.</p>

Not sure it's always like this at the VA. Cruising Cheasty Blvd might be another good transitional step to neighborhood driving, with a slope thrown in for good measure.</p> <p>Good luck!</p>

						 <p>I'm helping someone who hasn't been behind the wheel in quite a few years, still has a license, and just needs to brush up on their skills. Can anyone suggest some large lots nearby that are relatively empty during the day on weekends? This would be for general driving/parking practice before tackling local roads again. Thanks!</p>

						 <p>I've tried Asplundh and a couple of smaller arborists - without any success. Though they told me I was on their list, I never heard back from them. My neighbor had a similar experience, despite repeated calls.<br /> I'd love to hear of a free source that is at least somewhat reliable.</p>

						 <p>Hello,</p> <p>I am looking to get some landscaping woodchips. I understand, through Seattle Utilities, you can get free woodchips by calling local tree service and have yourself put on a list. When they are in the neighborhood, they will drop off a load of chips. The caveat is that you have to take a full load - and you're on a waiting list.</p> <p>Has anyone here ever done that? If so -how long did you have to wait. I have some work I want to do in my yard - and would love to get some wood chips. But if the waiting period is too long, I would end up buying them.</p> <p>I appreciate hearing from anybody who had experience getting the free woodchips.</p> <p>Also - what's a good local source to purchase bulk woodchips - or other landscaping materials, such as mulch or gravel.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

						 <p>I'd recommend Jen Ayers. She has her own music studio at her home in the neighborhood, and she's a very engaging, upbeat person. Her # is 799-8122.</p> <p>Good luck!</p>

						 <p>I'd like to learn to play piano proficiently again. I took lessons for about 8 years when I was younger and have been playing off and on since then, but my sight reading and music theory have really deteriorated since then. Are there any local piano teachers or schools that offer night or weekend classes/lessons for adults? Jazz Night School looks like it might be promising, and they have group and private instruction. I'd love to learn jazz over classical if possible. I'm open to group lessons if they're good. On Jazz Night School's site, there's a referral for Daisy Zajonc as a beginning/classical teacher —- does anyone have experience with her? I'd prefer to have the lessons be somewhere other than my house, as my setup is just a MIDI keyboard played through a computer in my bedroom. Thanks very much!</p>

						 <p>Hi everyone. I just wanted to let folks know about a great prenatal yoga class at Yoga on Beacon on Sundays at 9-10:30am. It's taught by Kristin Danielson-Wong who also teaches a prenatal class at CC's very own Lotus Yoga on Wed/Sat, I believe.</p> <p>I'm about 5 months pregnant with our first and I love Kristin's style. She's even got a thumbs up from my (self-admitted) yoga-snob friend! Now, if that's not a great referral, I don't know what is…</p> <p>Come join us! Yoga on Beacon, 3013 Beacon Ave South, near the BH Library and Victrola Coffee. Cost: $15.</p>

						 <p>Hi all,</p> <p>To add one more voice to the chorus: My wife and I just moved into a house on S. Edmunds Street that we've been renovating for months and months. Things were getting down to the wire—inspectors, appraisers, and in-laws were all about to show up—so I called Keith for help with hauling. Then for help with the deck. Then for help with a new fence. On all the jobs, he was fast, focused, on time, efficient, and wonderful to deal with. His prices are fair and transparent, his skills wide-ranging, and he apparently owns every powertool in the universe. But what matters most is this: The guy's a crazy perfectionist. He wants to do the job right because <em>he</em> wants to. Especially after the construction crew we'd been dealing with, it was a pleasure to watch him at work. Our deck and fence look great. We can recommend him in full.</p> <p>Mac and Jenny</p>

						 <p>I'm Bob and Lynn's neighbor. Keith Floyd took the scraps of Bob and Lynn's fence and changed my partially-fenced front yard into a fully-fenced yard. His work is great. He's on time and does what he says he will. I would definitely use him again for any work in and around my house. You should too. Give him a call at 206.355.1164.</p> <p>Tom</p>

						 <p>We initially asked Keith about removing an iron fence in our front and back yards. The fence in back had been knocked over by a car, and we figured we would remove it and start over with a new fence.</p> <p>But Keith told us about his background in metal work and suggested he could rebuild the fence using the original sections. In just two days, he was able to remove the fence in front, and bend and weld the backyard fence back into shape. The gate even closes and latches smoothly in place as if it was all installed at the same time.</p> <p>Keith is friendly, prompt, very reasonably priced and takes great care with the work area. We wish all repairs were this easy.</p> <p>Bob and Lynn<br /> Columbia City</p>

						 <p>Hi - we had a new wonderful bathtub installed by Keith and just want to say he did a wonderful job. It looks like it was built with the house, he did it quick, picked it up from the store, and even threw in a garbage disposal fix while he was here! It is hard to find a great fix it person, so no need to look any further!</p> <p>amelia and steve</p>
