Hi William – you can find knives without rivets like the zwilling without rivets brand: https://www.zwilling.com/us/cutlery/chefs-knives/without-rivets/ – but I have to say most knives recommend hand-washing as the dishwasher can be too abrasive and cause corrosion eventually. Hope that helps!

Hi Amber,

I would start on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/?ref=lgo – when I’m looking for unusual or handmade items, that is the first place I check. You might also have some luck if you’re okay with second hand items on PoshMark. PoshMark can also have new items as well.

Thanks for asking and reading! ~L

Hi Alice,

Yes – that sounds like a problem for sure, tires don’t normally hiss unless there is air leaking. You can get the tires balanced if you’re taking it into a shop to fix the one tire – they just add weights appropriately to make sure they are all working evenly.

Hope it all worked out for you!

That is a great idea! However, the numbers change every day – so I’d suggest you go to the Amazon Best Sellers tab to see that.

Good Luck to you Bessie and let me know how it comes out… 🙂

I’m so glad this is giving you hope! 🙂 Depending on where you live and how much the soil tends to shift, it should be okay. If you are in a very wet area and your patio is on a slope of any kind, you may see some of that sand leak off if you’re not using more gravel (lowering the pavers again). My husband said in response to your question that it will make a big difference on how well you tamp it, and you may even consider renting a motorized tamper. We have actually seen a slight dip again over the last year but not much, maybe 1/8 of an inch or so. I actually plan to do the rest of the bricks here soon when the heat calms down some. I can post an updated picture as well so you can see how much it’s dropped. In the area where the bricks have to slope up to meet the porch the sand has kind of leaked out of those, because they are at a weird angle so the water seems to irrigate the sand out. Overall, I’m still really happy with it though.

I hope that helps!

I can’t tell you how glad I am to hear it. You wonder if anyone reads your posts sometimes and it’s great to hear when they’re having a positive impact! Thank you so much!
