    Hey Carter, Thinking of you today and thanking you for your responses/answers to my messages, I am so appreciative. I have been enjoying all the 2010 "Carter Can" episodes too - the Saturday 6:30 AM CST time slot does not keep me from watching! Carter hope you don't mind, but seeing your smile pairs well with my first cup of coffee. Carter, curious about this: ? - please describe the term "pony wall". ? - what purpose/uses does it have. Take care and talk to you later. Always with a Hug, Susan

    Hola Carter!! Congratulations on all your endeavors. Since I last posted a message and you graciously answered me, I've changed my mind. Sold my big house in CA and I'm moving in Sept. to a smaller house in AZ, which I'd like to remodel from top to bottom. I'm just not sure how to begin!! Do I hire a general contractor and let them do everything or do I hire subcontractors and go at it piece by piece?? And how do I know if they're absolutely legit, being that I'm flying solo and don't want to be taken advantage of, you know? Looking forward to your answer, thanks.

    Hi Carter, Thinking of you today and wishing you well as you go about your day. Carter, curious about this regarding shelving for a walk-in closet (7' x 9") also, most items in it are hung rather than folded and given that I am a woman, a fair amount of shoes, of course: ? - any recommendations for it's design and function. ? - which type of shelving would be the easiest to install - wired or wood. ? - what level of difficulty in handling such a project solo. Take care in your travels. Talk to you later. Always with a HUG, Susan

    Hi Carter, saw you on Rachael Ray today! I really liked your inexpensive projects. The outdoor lights were my favorite. It was so sweet when you kissed Rachel's hand (to make it better)! I'll bet I'm not the only woman who hit the "skip back" button on the remote to see it again!

    Hey Carter, Thanks for responding but I guess I didn't explain myself well. I looked up the manufacturer of the flooring I think you used. It's Allure, vinyl planking or at least what I'm considering using. Do you know how well this flooring holds up over time? I just thought you may have some first hand knowledge of it. Hope you had a good 4th. Be safe. MJB

    Carter, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Thanks for the info on the cedar chest. You said to use oil based stain...ok will that make it darker? ..Uh the chest is a real light almost white cedar on 3 sides and the back is the usual red and was never varnished, don't know why but it adds mystery??? Do I finish all the sides? And I would like it to be a darker color, but with 3 white sides and 1 red...I need help, please. Again thanks for your help. Enjoy your time off? Pat

    Hi Carter, Thinking of you and wishing you well as always. It's Friday (YEAH) and a blue sky day in Chicago. Carter, giving you a break from me is over :), I have more ?'s. Carter, curious about the hanging of picture and/or wall deco: ? - How do you choose the type of nail or screw to hold the weight of the pieces(s). ? - Is the length of nail or screw a consideration for the weight of the piece. ? - What if the picture or wall deco weighs over 25 lbs, does this change the process for just using a nail or screw alone. Thank you Carter and talk to you later - take care too. Always with a HUG, Susan

    Hi Carter, We just watched episode 81 and I loved the way you broke up the space in the "bowling alley". You are looking better than ever by the way. My only criticism is that the reveal was soooo dark that I couldn't really see your work that well. The homeowner liked the same colors that I do and I was really looking forward to seeing how you used them in the room but everything was a bit muddy. I'll try watching again tonight. Otherwise great show!
