Better Late Than Never and Cayenne look alike, also some zinnias
Comments (12)Kay- I guess mine (FEAR NOT) recurves the most when it is the hotest but it always recurves. Jean- I have the big flowered STATE FAIR zinnias up in my back garden over the daylily plateau. Then I have those CUT AND COME AGAIN zinnias in the Terraces garden there in back of those daylilies. Those two reds, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER and CAYENNE are blooming again today but I didn't take any pictures. I do have lots of the OT hybreds lilies blooming but while they are in spots were they are seen to be enjoyed, I can't get to them to take pictures. Nate- I plant the zinnias closly, only a few inches. I want them to look full and nothing showing in between. Christine, thanks, I enjoy taking and posting pictures. I don't plant Profusion zinnias mine are the more common older varieties. But I like them in all those mixed colors....See MoreLooking advice on steel cable or look alike baluster?
Comments (2)I suspect that would cost about the same or maybe even a little less than oak or maple balusters. I had a local metal worker make metal railings for my outdoor 2nd floor decks. The railings had to be custom made to fit and the guy charged me $950 to make and install almost 50 ft of metal railings in 5 separate sections. While I have metal "balusters" that run vertically between an upper and lower support bar, instead of horizontally like you want, they're basically the exact same thing. Just tubes of metal welded at the ends to another piece of metal. And, with the horizontal strips, you'll probably need a lot fewer welds than if you wanted to go with vertical bars. Without seeing how many twists/turns your staircase has, I'd guesstimate under $400 bucks to get the "cables" made. Considering than the poplar balusters I used on my interior stairway ran me about $7 each and that oak and maple balusters are more expensive than poplar, and that you would need 2 or 3 balusters per step depending on the thickness of the balusters you chose, if you have 18 steps on your staircase, you'll spend in the neighborhood of $350 to $500 just purchasing the oak or maple balusters....See Morejudging the quality of vinyl privacy fencing
Comments (3)The biggest thing is the wall thickness - the thicker the better. If you live in a cold area, you could also ask about low temperature impact resistance. Digger Specialties (DSI) is good fence too....See MoreHelp me find 'look alike' Sconce
Comments (14)Squirrel-You are so right, my heart does sing for them and I probably wont be as happy with "look alikes" and they are reasobably priced like you said for Horchow. Besides I think its meant to be, I got an email from Horchow about free shipping this weekend with their promo code!!!!Yehhhhh Someone is trying to tell me something....so ladies remember these lamps because when my bathroom is finished you will remember my post.....
