I’m looking for a thin plastic coated wire/cord with loops on each end to lock. I want to loop it around my patio furniture b/c I live in a downtown area with a ton of foot traffic in the summer. I just have plastic Adirondack chairs but last year someone stole one and they are light weight. Yes, they are replaceable but I don’t want to have to pay a pop when a drunk person thinks it’s funny to steal a patio chair on their way back from a bar. I do not want a heavy duty chain and the cord I found at Lowes was very thick (almost 1") which is perfect for my grill but way too heavy for the chairs.

If anyone knows of an alternative cord, cheaper place to buy it, or a way to buy it and then have someone put loops on the end of it for me, that would be wonderful! Please only respond with helpful answer (and not ‘‘I’ve never lived in an urban area so I don’t know’’ response)

Center cushion is even with the frame when pushed back. Side cushion cannot be pushed all the way back because of the "L" wing in front of the sofa arm. I believe this is poor workmanship but the furniture company says no.

Okay, I live in a apartment complex. We have lived here for two year and the past 6 moths we have used a wooden futon outside on our patio. My apartment manager has decided that this is an "eyesore" and has to be removed immediately. To my knowledge, there are 5 other people with futons as well along with regular couches and even a washer and dryer… I was wondering is a futon considered patio furniture?

I am getting a new set of Thirty Two TM-TWO Boots. The question is, are the 09’s with the new "STI Evolution Foam™ mid sole/out sole with system G2™ cushioning" all that much better than the 08’s?? The 08 have a different technology but it seems to be about the same. Does anyone have some experience with these new boots?? Are they worth the extra money?? Thanks allot

I am looking to purchase 2 Audiopipe subwoofers. Here are the details of the speakers:

•12" SPL Subwoofer
•Dual 4 Ohm 2.5" Voice Coil
•1600 Watts Peak Power
•800 Watts RMS Power
•Frequency Response: 23 – 1000Hz
•Sensitivity: 96dB
•120 Oz. Magnet
•Colored Die-Cast Metal Basket
•Air Cushioned Foam Surround
•One Piece Aluminum Cone
•Nomex Spider
•Mounting Depth: 7.32"

I am looking for an amplifier that will work well with this setup, both subwoofers will be mounted within a box. I believe I need a 2-channel, 3,500Watt Amplifier. Correct me if I am wrong.

Also, will I need a bigger car alternator or secondary battery to power this set-up? Thank you!

which ones would you try???

I drive 300+ miles a week, and it’s taking a toll on my back and legs. Whenever I step out of my car for driving over an hour my hips lock up. My compact car is low to the ground (I’m 5′8"), and I usually get stuck in stop-and-go traffic.

I’ve called the dealership and gone to car parts stores…but I can’t find the PERFECT cushion(s) to make my driving easier. I bought a foam wedge, but it’s starting to flatten out already.

What are some good products to use for long-distance driving? Are there any good websites out there? Any suggestions would help because no one else seems to have an answer for me.
