I have mosaics question?

16 years ago

I googled mosaics and stumbled across this awesome web site and wow you are all very talented and very creative!! we moved from Michigan to North Carolina about a month ago...due to hubbys work...so I have this 1964 house we bought that needs a little creative tweeking...I know most everyone has talked about mosaics in the garden...on bird baths, stepping stones, flower pots and I love the idea of bowling balls! My question...pertains to mosaics, not out side...but in my bathroom...I'm interested in covering the most ugly double sink and countertop in a mosaic...I would love to use the half marbles in pale blues and greens? I've stripped the old wallpaper(s)there were 2 layers!! and painted a very cheerful Blue...we have done a very cute frog theme...due to some pics of lilly pads both my children had done in school...frogs and lilly pads just seemed to go together...and ok we like frogs! So if any one has done this sort of thing or would know where I can better research this...I just thought maybe someone here might know if this can be done, and how I would go about doing something like this? I look forward to your replys!!

Thanks a bunch for being so creative in all that you do...wow, I love this group and I haven't even posted yet! lol...I wonder if my hubby would miss his bowling ball? ok I'm not that mean, if I did mosaic on his I would mosaic mine too...wink, wink.

Thanks for your time,

Tina

This is a stupid/novice question....do I have to have a rooster?

Yeah, no roo needed to get eggs, only if you want fertilized eggs for hatching. But a lot of people feel that a roo completes the flock, and it's pretty cool watching a roo tend his ladies, taking them around to nests, finding goodies and calling them to it... :) A hen will start to lay eggs around the age of 6 months, and will on average lay an egg every other day or so from then until about the age of 6-7 years, give or take. Egg laying peaks by the age of two and slowly tapers off. Hens, like humans, have a finite number of eggs in their bodies that they are born with. Heck, I have some older hens who still come into lay every Spring and lay an egg or two here and there, and they are between 6 and 9 years old! There are no stupid questions, everyone was a beginner once. :) I've got a chicken info site here that may help: http://jackshenhouse.com/ Velvet ~:>

That's looking a lot like downy mildew. Look under leaves for signs of black/white moldy looking spots that may be present on some of the leaves. Avoid overhead/spray irrigation in the future if you're doing that currently. It's one of those things that you can't take care of easily once it's shown up...you have to be preventative and lower risk before it shows up.

If You have a Bain Airtub - I Have a Question
Q
Comments (44)
Lana, you’ve probably figured it out by now but there definitely is an option to set the drying cycle at a certain time each day. It’s there, for exaple, for those that have a Bain Ultra as a tub/shower and that want it to go off when no one is home (ie - at work and/or school) so, say, at noon instead of after each time to tub is used. And it is easy to inadvertently set. When/if you phone Bain Ultra, they'll probably want to know what kind of control you have in order to guide you. If you don’t phone, look at your user manual (or find one online) for directions. On my Z2 control it is found when pushing Menu - Others - Drying Cycle. ‘Enable’ sets it to go off each day at whatever time you actually push that button; ‘disable’ makes it go off only after the pump has been used.
