Hi tnkrer: --- NO SOLDER OR GLUE IS USED The cans have drainage hole punched in the bottom of the first can. both the second and third cans have the top and bottoms removed. I use a furnace workers crimping tool to decrease the diameter of the lower rim so that it fits into the can under it. the cans have an edge seam on each end of the cans. when the cans are pressed together they snap into place and do not come apart. the 3 cans amount to about 2 and 2/3 gallons. This should suffice. As long as I keep the plant to a moderate size and keep it well watered it should do well. Watering in the morning allows the plants surface to dry out so mold doesn't set in. This is my first year of this and I am doing this with tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, squash, and watermelons. This will boost the plant's foliage above the soils splash distance and will control things like fusarium wilt from setting in. I will be able to garden with out sprays and poisons. Only the peppers and eggplants will have bottoms on there towers. The others will be bottomless so the roots can pass through into the main soil bed. The system will be improved and will be done to the specs called for from this experiment. Over view of the solderless assembly dimple caused by crimpers that allow the cans to snap together 4 of 5 figs visible on my hardy chicago fig tree Fig tree in 5 gallon bucket left to right nagami kumquat, meiwa kumquat tree grown from seed 300+ holes 1/10 inch to aerate the root base. Just run your hand lightly around the pot. This depresses the wall a small amount the replace stale air and hold down molds.

I need to shave off some sq footage. Here are my thoughts: Smaller Mbath/closet and shaving 1' down the left side MB and Child's room. Can anyone help me with tightening up the side entry to include mud room, pantry and possibly create a booth or window seat area with dining table. We are limited on adding to the right any further (driveway). The existing structure is a log home. I'm trying to do from top to bottom: living room, kitchen an dining or just kitchen, dining then the vaulted living room (existing home). Thank you for any suggestions and assistance.

sounds to me here that the teenage stepkids have theproblem and are not forgiving sm here. I'm glad dad opened his eyes. As for forcing...lol....well no one forced the parents here to divorce. Good ole Biomom left for ANOTHER MAN! GREAT example for her mature daughters. It shows soooo much in how they behalf. That must spew hate and insults about another human being. WOW... they have so much respect for another adult eh?;) Guess their mother teaches them loads of respect, honesty and loyalty when someone takes their vows in front of God. Misty, your sons are their blood brothers, half or full and they must accept it. If they dont, the door is open. No one wants to be aroudn a sour puss and they are teenagers learning to become adults. If they choose this path , let them make their decision and let them make themselves excluded. You did not exclude them , they decided that for themselves. No one is forcing anything on anyone. Cause is you say oh poor girls were force into stepfamily well DiDO FOR MOM TOO that has the other man!!! how do they treat him???? better or worse since he had an affair with their mother.? When they come over pictures are of the entire family ...ENTIRE! and if they dont want it , the door is there. My SD and SS are included in pics . We have pics together and we have pics apart...They see them all aruond the house. Their mother tried to instigate this GARBAGE idea of separate and i sat all down. I said ' what happens at your mothers house stays there. Her rules , her ideas, her beliefs STay at her house' how she wants her house run is her business BUt here we are a unit. We communicate if we don't like something. There will be times we will do things together and other times we wont. But that is life. Dont be hurt. Its not done on purpose. You are all brothers and sisters, You are all human and everyone here under this roof must be treated with respect , honesty. This is family...not animals. Blended families are rough from many standpoints. No one forces anything. You fall in love and make the best of this world. ITs hard as it is in a non blended family why would you confuse the kids in this manner. ? All the kids are important...first second third..who cares!

mary-you have really niced sized closets, you will be amazed at what they can do. After we did ours in the new house it made me wonder why we hadn't gutted our old closet as there was so much wasted space and it was busting at the seams. Anyhow, sky is the limit as far as design just make sure you keep an account of what you have and they can offer suggestions on design to accommodate your closets needs. We live in MI so much colder than MA and our kitchen and bathroom sink plumbing was always on an outside wall with never an issue. I am not sure if showers are different? Our garage spigot did freeze on occasion but never anything inside the house. I think it's doable. Like #1 yet, this one the water closet door is in the way and I don't think it's as private there as it's original position on the right. When you walk into your bathroom your eye will be drawn to that awesome tub and your windows, pan to the left and you'd have your shower which can be glass and tile like the pic that LL posted. I like the window lavendar put in by the sink run also. You will have 2 points of natural light and I think it will be a very nice airy space - spa-like for sure.
