    Running RG6 coax in parallel with electrical wire (romex)

    Just looked in my basement and noticed that my contractor has run RG6 coax in parallel, same joist holes, with two 15 amp 14-2 circuit home runs. I have heard that running stereo wire in parallel with electrical wire can cause some kind of signal disturbance, but I have no idea if this applies...

    Contractor monkeys, those with experience. Portland, OR.

    Just got some bids back for a basement remodel. I spent a lot of time researching the "right" contractors on Angie's List and through a couple of recommendations (short on resources there). On Angie's List, reviewers can include a price paid for the work and before and after pictures. Based on...

    Best endurance / 24 hour MTB races in west?

    I wanted to do the Cascade Creampuff, but I think it is a little unrealistic this year unless I devote my life to training. However, a solid team 24 hour relay, or somewhat shorter solo endurance race would be fun. Willing to travel to CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, NV. Ideas, based on experience? I can...

    Ask RM: DIY Guesthouse versus sublet??

    Not sure why I'm posting here, but I'm not a member of any other forums, really, so here it goes. I have full basement apartment in a nice part of Portland. I was planning to rent it out as a sublet (maybe under radar), but saw the ad below on CL today and the idea seems appealing. I'm guessing...

    Daschle: Write your Senators

    I sent this to friends of mine, but am posting it here as well. I know there is the "Hone$t Mistake" thread as well, but this is a focused action request. Never posted in the political forum before, so not sure on appropriateness. Take or leave, I guess. I'm normally quite far from a...

    Two types of bike parents out there: Manimal and, err..., this guy.

    I don't know Manimal, but seen his posts. Good thing there are guys like him, as there are also fathers/mothers like this: :shocked::shocked::shocked: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/889447181.html

    downhill fork?

    http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/877968825.html I actually had two of these back in the day. Amazing that one even survived long enough for someone to make the attempt. I'm sure it's a joke, but...

    Classic bike? Montagna and the "cuda fin"???

    Hey, I picked up a bike a few years ago at a garage sale. Fixed it up pretty slick and am now trying to sell it to move (read: this is NOT spam). I'm trying to learn more about the bike, as collectors keep asking me for details and I really don't have any. So... Does anyone remember a brand...

    Looked online - quick help: Campy Mirage levers take reach adjusting shims / adjust?

    Looking at a bike on Craigslist that has Campy Mirage components. I'm not seeing any reach adjustment on them, and don't see any reference to them taking shims like Shimano integrated levers do. Anyone know differently? Thanks!

    WANTED in Portland / SW WA: Hardtail XC Frame (nice) and a hardtail XC/DJ frame (old)

    Hey all... I can move this to a different location if desired, but I figured it would get more traffic here than in the buy/sell, and I'd like to get a frame locally. You help me, I help you... 1) I recently cracked my XC frame. I'm looking for a LARGE (or maybe medium, if it runs big) XC...
