Sammy I was actually thinking the praying mantis. You can get praying mantis egg sacks. Each comes with 200 eggs. And because praying mantises can't fly they stay in your garden. The downside is that I fear they will snatch ladybugs and the bees, but the sad part is that all the bees, even the native ones have been missing since mid-July. The only ladybug I saw was in May. All I get are these nasty flies, thrips and the cucumber beetles visiting. All a sad reminder how important it is to protect our bees from Sevin. Anyway I think a praying mantis would be terrific in my situation. Hopefully the birds won't find the mantis but I think 200 eggs and its camouflage are good odds for it. I am lucky in that my flowers still look very pretty and I only get a few sprinkling of holes in some. But one never knows with insects and fungus, sometimes they just suddenly infest out-of-the-blue. I am sure the praying mantis will be very happy with the thrips and the houseflies that keep visiting my fragrant roses (ugggh, shudder!). Flies are another one of my most hated insects because they're filthy scavengers, which is why I always curb my dog. I hate! flies and that's my ultimate prissiness speaking.

I can't answer your question fully, but I can tell you that I brought everything I needed from faucet.com, and they helped me figure it out. I have also had luck in the past with faucetdepot.com. You CAN buy all the pieces separately even if they are not listed separately in the catalog or website. I brought this for a shower/bath. I have a shower head on a wall bar (no wall-mount shower head) and a tub spout. I like the Retroaktiv line very much. Here's what I bought: HG 06064 trim kit for thermobalance II HG 0662700 Thermobalance II rough-in valve with service stops (I think service stops make it so someone can work on the valve without shutting off the main water; don't think it's truly necessary but didn't cost much more) HG 06890 wall bar HG 27458 wall outlet for hose HG 28276 hose HG 06127 handshower I also got a tub spout, which it sounds like you won't need. If you are planning a fixed shower head along with your wall bar, you will need that in addition. I also got Hansgrohe's matching lavatory faucet which I also like. Good luck!

The site is down for maintenance so I can't look but is there a customer review area? If so, is there a way to ask questions of people who own it? Amazon and some others have a "ask a question" section with the reviews. Here's their facebook page, maybe try posting on there? I'm sure if you say "I have an urgent question and I cannot get anyone to respond in a timely manner" someone will contact you. They won't want that on their FB page for others to read. https://www.facebook.com/ReginaAndrewDesignInc Or how about finding another site that sells that particular light and asking them? Maybe another web store will be more helpful. I normally would be against using one to provide service when you clearly intend to buy from someone else (it's happened to me in my business more times than I can count) but some times you have to do what you have to do and if time is running out I'd try that.

Since you don't mind the drive, I would humbly suggest that you visit Jungle Music in Encinitas. The variety of palms offered is overwhelming and they seem to have a good selections of sizes (liners up to boxes). If you go to their web site (www.junglemusic.net) I suggest you go to the "Check out the blog". It's a great intro to many palms that do well in CA with lots of pictures showing various stages. I've learned a lot. For the record, I live in Atlanta, GA so most of what I've purchased from Jungle Music has been shipped as 5 gallon or smaller. More cycads than palms. Always great stuff. Hope this helps. Good luck. Paul
