El Circo Cheapo Cabaret
Event on 2012-06-02 22:00:00
Here we go! It’s time for the next installment of El Circo Cheapo Cabaret–Chicago’s greatest cheap date-recession-busting idea. If your goal is to save money and have more fun, we’ll help you do both. For only -15 dollars you can see people hang from fragile looking things from their toes, ladies shake their hips, crazy people walk on glass, and more! We are in our new space and can now offer more seats! Yay for getting to see the show! However, we don’t have more chairs, so we are offering “picnic seats”, on the floor. You can bring a blanket and some wine and cheese and make a romantic night of it. Its like Ravinia, but without the biting insects or the chance of rain! OR, for , you can still have a seat in one of our amazing chairs. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE AMAZING PRICE! Let me tell you about the amazing show. Aloft is welcoming interested circus artists from all over to come share our stage. The main purpose of this show us purely one of self-interest. You see, good performance footage of a circus act is awfully hard to come by, so by having a cheap show we can get a fun supportive audience in to clap and cheer as we film our acts to use for promoting ourselves to agents and clients. You never know what you’ll get at the cabaret…you might see 5 silks acts from 5 different companies, or you might see a 6-year-old Russian trapeze artist, or an inner-city juggling superstar from the Chicago Youth Circus, or someone trying their act in front of an audience for the first time and asking for feedback, or someone who has done their act so many times they’re going to try it blindfolded this time. Who knows, but for less than , you can’t beat it! Once the show is sold out, it is sold out. There are no more tickets available, even if you email or call us. Thank you for your understanding.

Question by : How easy is it to fit hard wood flooring on split level room?
We have inherited an extension which steps down, by about 3-4 inches, from the existing living room, so is in effect a step. We want to replace the carpet with hard wood flooring, probably laminate. Is this easy to do, given the step, or would it be an opportunity to level the floor with concrete and eradicate the step?

Question by tweety: Do I need a moisture barrier for our engineered wood floor install?
We are building a new home and are having engineered wood floors 1/2″ thick and 5″ wide installed in our living room and hallways, no wet areas. Our floor installer says he does not usually put a moisture under the wood floors and it has always worked out fine. I have read conflicting information regarding having the moisture barrier and not having it. I would appreciate any information or opinions.

Answer by plowman70
The floor should come with a manufactures warranty they will only honor it if you follow the installation instructions don’t skimp on the barrier if they say to use it

Read the full How-To: buildipedia.com Laminate flooring has become a very popular choice for do-it-yourselfers due to the fact that it’s economical, durable, and easy to install. Several varieties of laminate wood flooring are available, offering consumers a vast array of aesthetic choices. Most laminate flooring products share similar characteristics: a pressed wood base; a durable, adhered laminate finish; and a self-locking tongue and groove system. These systems typically do not require fasteners or adhesives — they just lock into place, basically “floating” above the subfloor. Join the At Home channel host, Jeff Wilson, for a tutorial on installing a laminate floor.

Experimental floating parquet installation. I had to install the floor quickly so I decided to float the floor, gluing only the perimeter strips instead of the whole thing.
