European Vacation
My family and I (all adults) booked a trip to Eastern Europe this spring. We are going to Budapest, Slovakia (not sure where), Krakow and Prague.

We are big planners and are already trying to figure out our itinerary! Thank you for your advice!

Stack the Deck
From Kerri Bermont: REPLY We need to replace the Sundek on our pool patio as it has begun to chip and wear away. Do you know of a company that can install new Sundek over the existing patio? I think it is just a concrete coating that can be made to look like other surfaces, but I am not exactly sure of the process. Any advice and recommendations you have are appreciated!
