I feel guilty, because it always goes the same way. I have a bunch of plants, they end up squished together under the lights, their branches get all tangled together and rip off, and the plants don't get an optimal amount of light. Later in the season, I get overwhelmed about watering all those plants, and they don't produce as well as they would have if I watered. Then I tell myself "why did you do this again?? You would be much happier if you had a few healthy plants!". I know that too many germinating is the beginning of a vicious cycle, so yes, I feel guilty in advance when too many sprout!

I wish I had more time to dream up my kitchen, but you know, I probably would have exploded our kitchen budget. In my case I only had time to go to the Big Blue store and the Big Orange store- so I wasnt faced with tons of possibilities that potentially would have paralyzed me. And I got sticker shock, overcame it and ordered. Even now I am wishing I had gotten up the guts to price out glass doors, and nicer door styles. I think my kitchen is pretty good to go! I have 2 antique stained glass lantern lights for the kitchen, plus 4 pot lights installed. We are using the historic heart pine flooring that was original to the house, and I plan to purchase crystal replica knobs for the cabinets. We dont have a backsplash in our budget. We dont have granite in our budget either...but after thinking of getting formica for a bit until we had the money to upgrade, I decided I never would get around to it- so I want it done now. Thats going to be our budget buster. But I see your point on the appliances. I will get those purchased in the next 2 weeks....I think. New question- when the appliances are delivered...our renovation house is 10 min away from our current house. All day long it is a parade of laborers. Should I be worried about appliances sitting in the house waiting to be installed? I would think they will be ok b/c they are so big...but maybe they will get taken. Oh dear- this is going to be a timing issue. Coordinating the delivery with the delivery of the cabinets.

2. Is there anyway to go lower and have the spa spillway look nice without having to buy a dedicated pump for the spa? Yes, program a SPILLWAY so 100% of the water goes into the spa. Right now, you are cranking up the flow to get the desired effect but some is going to the pool. Try that. SPILLWAY is a circuit function. 3. I want to use feature 1 to tell the pump to kick into high speed when spa mode is actuated, but I can not figure how to do this. Nope, you can't program FEATURE 1 or 2. Assign the speed to SPA and when you hit spa it will kick up. Nope, same as above. Set it to any FEATURE (3-9) and call it SWEEP or whatever. You can make a custom name and call if George if you want, otherwise us the generic names available. 5. Does the pump programming override the indoor control panel, or does the control panel override the pump? The pump was supposed to come on this morning at noon, but did not. It seems like I have to use the controller to do this. Do I have to program the indoor controller too, or does the pump let it know what programs that I type in? You can program from the pump and as soon as you plug in the pump on the RS485 cable and are in AUTO, the pump display will indicate not active. It is then under control of the IT. If it is not coming on, you need to check the assignments and the programming. Make sure you have a POOL assignment. Keep in mind, most of your issues are in your IntelliTouch set-up. This is not a pump issue. It will work on its own. If you do not program the IT properly, it will take awhile to dial in but it will happen.

Trebruchet- Thanks for looking at this. I took a look with the guys here. There is no filler. I was assured that it shouldn't be a problem? The pantry wall is angled, so I don't think it should impeded the door opening. I played around with a 3 inch casing and it was ok. Thank you! The restoration company is installing them. I wish the cabinet company was, but I don't know if that would be any better. I was going to pay them today. What do you think?? They still have a lot of work to be done through insurance, and they won't get that $ until everything is satisfactory. lov_kitchen-yes, it opens. The wrong part in the pic is the bottom part of the cab panel is not level. It's 2 and 3/8 on the left, and 2 and 5/8 on the right. jaukuvall-it's KC. According to the carpenter guy installing them, he's noticed a big decline in quality over the past 5 years. I wish I would have gone with something else, but at this point they are just going to have to keep remaking until everything is fine.
