come out and tighten my carpet, it's loose and developing
wrinkles [and] look at the flooring in the kitchen/entry (it
also is developing wrinkles) ...
I'm not sure if this on my nickle, directly, I didn't ask ...
It was all new when I moved in last June.

Regulations vary from place to place but in general terms unit
owners are usually responsible for maintenance and repairs inside
their own units but the condo corp is responsible for the overall
structure, the exterior and all the common areas. You got a copy of
the condo bylaws when you bought the place, right? It will contain
the details.

This may be relevant to what happened yesterday,
with unsightly waste water bubbling up into his
kitchen sink from another unit above ... the
in-house maintenance guy cleaned up and tried
without success to fix the issue by plunging, for
which it appears the association is responsible,
but then called in an outside plumber to do a
snake job, which is in a grayer area.

As well, most renovations have at least a one year warrantee, so if
you lodged your work request within the first 365 days the carpet
stretching should be free.

That was what I told Bill, if Alaska has anything
like the Massachusetts implied warranty of
merchantability. Not sure whether the carpet
company or the condo association or whoever was
the proximate owner of the property should be on
the hook, but not him, though.

Is your kitchen and entry flooring laminate? Most laminate
manufacturers will not warrantee their produce in "wet" areas and
place warnings right on the boxes the planks come in.

It appears to my uneducated feet that these areas
have little to do with wood and in fact little if
anything to do with the problem. Seems to be
whatever has supplanted linoleum flooring in our
21st century.

How does one find out what was the basis of various beers?

Most beer companies don't list their ingredients unless they use

But the official lists are easy enough to find.
It is remotely possible that the sites lie, though.

100% barley and want to brag about that. But both Bud (rice) and

Boys and girls, can you say Reinheitsgebot?

Coors (corn) disclosed what's in their beer after that Food Babe
charlatan attacked beer as full of adulterants and "chemicles"
including airplane de-icer. Bud actually brags about the high
quality of their brewer's rice and how they use it, not to save
money, but to make a crisp, clean tasting light lager with no bitter aftertaste.

If you don't want a bitter aftertaste, drink iced tea.
If you don't want to brew without a bitter aftertaste,
don't use hops.

Yesterday's beer was Bud Light. I drank about five
pints and didn't get any flavor benefit nor the
satisfaction of even a minor buzz.

"Food Babe charlatan" - I liked that and Googled it,
finding only 3 results. Sad! There should be 300000.
