Currently 23 inches high. It was 3 tiny stems 3 months ago. They do exceptionally well with grow lights. Experimenting with different LED spectrums I found that red and white promote fast growth, thick stems and branching between leaf stems. Purple lighting promotes compact growth and large deep green leaves.

Definitely the most boring one ever. I don't think the person who wins should also win the $100,000. I think Troyzan should have won that money. I wish Troyzan would have won the whole thing actually. I wish they wouldn't have given Colton the time of day. He's a piece of crap, and he's not remorseful, and he is a racist, and he meant everything he said. Kat was a pleasant surprise how she behaved. Maybe it was just because she was totally out of her element. And Bill was hilarious. Did you check out that suit? Too funny. I really liked him. I honestly don't know if I'll watch the next one if they bring Colton back. I don't think they should bring any former players back unless it's a reunion type deal and everyone there is a former player. I agree also it should be the final 2, not 3. And after this season, I wouldn't mind seeing redemption come back. They get everything handed to them now. Food, shelter stuff, tools. They need to get back to how it was in the beginning. Hard challenges, really have to figure out your own shelter, food, etc. And honestly, I'm not a prude but they need to put some damn clothes on these people, females and males. Come on fall!

My neighbor's house had cedar shakes; they replaced them with cement shakes, like a Hardi plank. This kept the traditional style of their home, but allowed them to paint their house the color they wanted, and it is virtually maintenance free. After seeing that, we replaced our redwood lap siding with Hardi plank. We painted it, and after 6 years, it still looks great. We definitely don't miss the maintenance that the redwood required. I am sure you won't miss the cedar maintenance either. I would consider looking at that product and keep the traditional style look of your home with either shakes or lap siding. I would also do true architectural shingles on the roof. It adds such a beautiful dimension to the roof, and would add interest. They are more expensive, but have a long life. I do like the current color combination of your home, and I like the portico in the photo grapefruit1_ar posted. EIther the clean lines or the portico, it could go either way. Such a great classic style.

cheryl E, I had two poor performing Fridgidaire Affinity front loaders for 12 years (not at the same time-2nd was a replacement for the first). They did not clean well. They also were prone to having an unappealing odor. I kept the door open when not being used. The only time the door was closed was when the washer was in use. The first washer did not have a 'clean washer' cycle. So I put a cup of bleach on my hot cycle with no laundry in it every two weeks to suffice. Still was not fresh and my towels became contaminated and smelled moldy. 2nd washer did have a 'clean washer' cycle that was hidden from the control panel. You had to press this button, while pressing that button and hold it in place for 30ish seconds then the clean washer cycle would activate. I did that every two weeks with a cup of bleach, then I upped my game and immediately did another clean washer cycle after the bleach one, but with a cup of vinegar. Still, not better. I kept at it though. I think there were two things that caused the issues. The first was that I was using liquid detergent exclusively and the second is that (IMO) they were simply not very good washing machines. I was using hot washes for my whites and lights and also using bleach in my whites loads and still, P.U. and dingy. The whites loads had detectable bleach odor as well which leads me to believe the washers did not rinse well. Moldy and bleach aroma on laundry--not fun. I used warm in my darks loads. I don't use cold wash cycles. Frequent cold washes can lead to funk build up, but I wasn't doing that. These washers, I think did not have dumbed down hot or warm cycles, but I don't know for certain. But I also don't think they had heaters to super heat the water. Super heated washes can help with laundry and washer cleanliness. Anyways, from what I've read on here (I found this group this year), the practices I used don't cause these negative issues in some (or is it many?) front loaders if they are good machines. Meaning the machines do their job well. From what I've read here, my hot washes and my bleach clean washer treatments should have abated the funk. They did not. At some point during my front loader sad and smelly times, I had read that if you use powder detergent and hot washes, along with occasional warm washes and keep up with the clean washer treatments, the problem should dissipate over time. The problem did not go away for me. I kept at it for two years. Using powder detergent was a nuisance for us at the time due to our laundry room configuration (much easier to store and use a tidy bottle than a messy box of powder when you have no place to put it), but I did not give up! I've seen videos of people with the same problem who did the clean washer treatments and all kinds of crud would release from the machine--to the point of it being visible on the video. I never had any visible crud release. I won't ever know if I didn't have crud or if the washer just never released it with the twice a month treatments since I FINALLY gave up and bought a top loading full fill washing machine. Everything is good now. I use powder detergent probably 90% of time now and I also use Borax in most loads. The Borax helps with odors for us--breaks down the body oils and sweat. My towels (the same ones that were funked out for 12 years) are fresh, bright, soft and fluffy now. Hurray! DH's white undershirts that are old and previously stinky and dingy are fantastic now. White, bright, fresh smelling. I did try Borax in my old front loaders a few times and didn't have any improvement, but I think I wasn't using enough. I use 1/2 cup in my current top loader and my daughter uses 1/4 cup in her front loader (with good results). Maybe give that a try? IMO, if you have a dud of a washer, you are more likely to have these negative issues even if you do everything right. Maybe if I was using powder detergent exclusively from the beginning, I wouldn't have had these frustrating issues since the funk would not have built up in the washer or the laundry in the first place. I'll never know for certain though. I've moved on. I hope something in here helps. Sorry to read things aren't going so great in your laundry room. I've been there and it's frustrating.
