Locksmith and Lockset for 3″ Entrance Door


So in my ongoing crusade to finish my house, I am looking to put a stronger lockset in my front door. I have this very thick 3″ (or maybe 2 7/8) door which is too heavy for the standard mortise handset with turn-knob currently (poorly) installed. Anyone have a recommendation for a good locksmith? And should I buy the lockset myself, or is that something I order through a good locksmith. (The kind I am looking at – with the thumb lever and pull handle – seem to run about 500-600 online). Thanks!

Where to find grass sod?


Title pretty much says it all. I am looking to buy some grass sod for my small backyard. Anyone know who has it in stock?

Pyrobar-what’s in it?


Recently noticed that the blocks around my basement stairs are stamped “pyrobar”. I thought this was concrete, but it appears to be some sort of gypsum (sp?) material. Will it kill me (i.e. is it absestos based?)
