THere was a lady on America;s Got Talent with a pet squirrel who road a motor boat and peed on the host. I see fame in your future.

Oxmyx - we have a shorter summer in our zone then others do, especially for plumeria as they do need warmer minimum temperatures. I have a few links on these as I just received a couple from an eBay seller from Thailand who actually has phytocertificates. Another area of research. Here's a few of my favorites links that I favor. I also read no water after one watering all winter while it's in dormacy (no leaves growing) with or without roots. I know that's a hard one to swallow so I had to do some serious research to be sure of this. And it's so. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/plumeria/?18958 I really like this one . http://www.plumeria101.com/index.html http://www.azplumeria.org/plumiinfo.htm I haven't really checked this one out thoroughly but lots of good links and probably too much info but good to double/triple check with. http://www.theplumeriasociety.org/spps/ahpg.cfm?spgid=20 I have 20 links or so on just these, do you want more? lol Just some links of pictures for those who want to tempt themselves...lol...it got me...Karyn dear, your not allowed to look. OK fine, just find your favorite(s) buy them and be done with them. I don't know how else to help you and a few of you others! http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/bridges/plumeria/plumeria.htm http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/b/Apocynaceae/Plumeria/none/cultivar/0 http://www.azplumeria.org/plumiinfo.htm

We had a crazy winter. Of course, all my plants stay outside, here in South Florida. It was a very mild one, until a few weeks ago, when we got three cold fronts that got down into the 30's. We hit 32, for a couple of hours, during the last one. The potted plants spent a total of 4 nights in the garage. Anyway, some of my Plumerias were blooming all the way into December. Others were waking up in January. The leaves have stayed small though. One cutting that I started in July, never went to sleep, and started an inflo in January. Its been coming up slow, but sure. It should have flowers in a few weeks, I imagine. I have 5 seedlings, sitting next to it in my driveway, where they have been all winter, that have been chugging along, just fine. Only one of those went to sleep, but its tiny trunk looks fine. All others, that did go, and stay, completely dormant, are now starting to stretch out their claws. I love that sight! Yes, even in Florida, we look forward to spring. I do so especially this year, figuring that most of my Plumeria have a great head start. And Jo... it is good to see you here. I haven't participated much, over the last few months, since its been so quiet. I have been peeking in every few days. It will be nice to see all the familiar names back, along with the blooms!

Back to the design question (and I'm super sorry your foot got in the way of the falling tile!), I like to work with something OTHER than wood-look in bathrooms. Only if the ENTIRE HOME is covered (or a large section) in the same wood-look tile, would I recommend using wood look in a bathroom. Why? Because it LIMITS the REST of your space. Imagine if you put in wood look tile in ONE bathroom. And then 7 years later you decide to update the entire home and decide you want "wood" (don't care what product...you just want the look). Oh dear! You ALREADY have a small space filled with wood-look stuff. Oh no. There goes the REST of the plan. All because a 35sf bathroom already has something that looks like wood. It is a design faux pas to put one "wood" product up against another "wood" product. So I vote for another form of tile. I also vote for "shower conversion" if, and ONLY IF, you already have a bath tub somewhere else. So long as your home has ONE tub, all the rest of the bathrooms can either be showers or powder rooms. And let me tell you, a BEAUTIFULLY DONE shower is MUCH MORE valuable that a cramped bathroom with a tub taking up 1/2 the space. But to convert the tub to shower, you need to have the full $20K ready to go (and that's a LOW BALL estimate....the average cost to renovate a bathroom = $30K). Have a look at your budget. You might find that a tub-to-shower conversion isn't in the cards (or the bank account).
