The octopus did not reanimate during cooking. Turned out fairly well- I managed to get the texture right, but since it was already marinated, I probably shouldn't have used quite so much vinegar when I simmered it. For a first attempt, I declare it a success. With easy access to such ingredients, I will almost certainly try again

i just got myself a condo, it had carpet in it, but i was able to laydown new flooring. i did a pergo wood-laminate that looks just the same as hardwood, people who see it for the first time even ask me if it is real wood. i was able to do all of it myself. it cost about $4000. but if you do it, i recommend a table saw, a miter saw, and a air compressor w/pneumatic finishing nailer to make the job both doable and manageable. just to keep in mind, my space is about 500sq. feet of laminate flooring with a ton of odd cuts and angles, and it took me (and 2 friends) one weekend with less than 20hrs of total working time. just a thought. i hope this helps.
