Come across any fav words of wisdom lately?
Comments (16)1. The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow. 2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail. 3. If you don't have a sense of humor, you may not have any sense at all. 4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs. 5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water. 6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night? 7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without. 8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks? 9. Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM. It could be a right number. Think about this: No one ever says "It's only a game." when his team is winning. I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap. (Twenty years ago!!) Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of OLD LADIES running around with tattoos? (And RAP music will be 'The Golden Oldies'!) Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable t o cry in a Lincoln than in a Yugo. After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead....See MoreGetting ready to start putting cabinets up-any words of wisdom!
Comments (13)I use the box to both support the wall cabinet and as a platform to level it in all directions before placing the permanent shims. Base first, walls first is a topic like religion and politics. I was taught bases, about 2/3 of the cabinet installers I know do base the others walls. Reasons. If you are going to run into a problem it will be in the bases. Easier to align walls to bases (meant to say talls) , allows faster time to template. I can then use the box system which makes it far easier to get dead plumb and level, get shims placed properly in relation to screws and not over torque them. (important especially for inset). Lastly I'm short and typically installed solo, no way I could do that with a ledger. I've never damaged a base cabinet but I do protect them. I've also never dropped a wall cabinet. I also use a system of 3" ply strips. Place those along the back and edges of each cabinet. Shim and level those to a whisper above finished floor height. Pin them to the floor. Then bases are dropped in and screwed. Have to carefully plan any exposed end cabinets. While this works best when also putting in a new floor.... I find it so much faster and accurate that I will even cut down the sides of all the bases to have the height needed for the ply. Using a sled for a circular saw and a combination square I can cut ten an hour. It prevents having a land locked shim that needs adjustment. Very useful with really bad floor variation. Alternative is cabs with no sub base and site build it instead. This post was edited by jakuvall on Thu, Dec 11, 14 at 11:15...See MoreTwo Rutger Tomatoes both alike in dignity...
Comments (7)Suggest you pluck the offending leaves with vile spots. They usually are to be found low on the plant. Removing leaves that grow below the first fruit trusses is a good idea to give more air circulation to the plant. The yellowing doesn't look like anything terrible to me, but do ask about it over on the tomato forum. Yes, it is a fruit, yet 'tis grown along with the veggies and eaten with them too :) Linda...See MoreTwo Rutgers tomato plants, both alike in dignity,
Comments (3)Thy plants are likely with the Blight which is Early afflicted. Hie thee to the market and from the plantmonger procure a potion of copper which fungus kills. Pluck off the offending leaflets daily, and weekly anoint thy plants wholly with the potion. The affliction is obdurate and cannot be vanquished, but its unrelenting progress can be hindered and delayed....See MoreOlychick
