when you go to photobucket right at the top you can select where you want to get the picture from it says as one selection the web choose that option and then just paste it's url into the blank and it will do it's thing. You can do several at a time too, and also right there at the bottom of that box it allows you to pick a size for your picture, say you want to use it for an avatar choose tiny, or to post on a forum so it does not take up as much space you could choose a smaller size. I just made it a habit many years ago not to hotlink, I have my own websites and see it happening and it really just is not a nice thing and you never know when the person will replace that picture with something um not so pretty LOL. Plus now with all the hosting sites it is not necessary. by the way I also use imageshack and it too lets you choose if you want to upload from your pc or the web.

You have not offended me at all. Feedback rarely feels like criticism. This is the plan after 2 kitchen designers loved the basics and made some changes. But that does not mean its a perfect plan, just that it works for this house in this space with this family as far as we could tell...which still doesn't mean it can't get better, plans can always get better. I am looking forward to playing with all your suggestions :) About the restaurant part: I was on prep most of the time lol! I am used to doing all my prep work first all at once and marinating, cutting and readying meat and other things and never beginning to cook until I am pretty much all set because of lack of space in the present area and because its so much easier for me. Which is good because induction cooking kind of requires all prep work be done in advance, which is what I do! The french doors could become a hall to the backyard, but its unlikely --- the french doors open onto a small balcony / deck that overlook the garden part of the back yard (27" elevation), the steps lead down into the garden. On the other side of the peninsula in about 5 feet are 14" glass sliding doors that lead out onto a patio that surrounds the pool, its more likely that all traffic headed for fun and sun in summer will head that way since all the bed rooms, the tv and the front door are on that side of the house. The laundry room had a wall between it and the kitchen but I removed it because the laundry machines are front loading and the same depth and height as every other machine in the kitchen wall, so I covered them over with one long granite counter for prep space, baking and clean-up - this is where dishes will wait if they have to. This area is not visible from the main part of the room, its blocked by the half-bath and the pantry. I really wanted the huge counter space for prep work and clean up after meals. We did think about the sink on the peninsula but could not go with the dirty dishes in public, plus I would lose the storage space required by the dishwasher...hmmm. I like moving the fridge. It would mean not recessing it to counter length which stopped us from making that change before but it might be worth it. But if I remove and refit the header above, there may be a way I can recess it more to fit the depth of the bar and pantry, but that would mean only dry wall between the toilet and the ridge which may not be okay...not sure but its a good question. I will play with the layout some more and use these suggestions. Thanks all!

Yes you can remove it. It is exactly what you said: a post that turns into a fountain. You unscrew it from the tub. Often these are plumbed with a valve at the equipment pad so that you can turn it on or off with the valve. If that is the case, just leave the valve off and you are set. If not then you might need to get a plug to screw into the opening in the bottom of the tub.

Lisa, that happened to me a while back. I finally realized that the photo Houzz was not allowing me to post was a "Live" photo taken with my cell phone. I didn't realize that it was "live". I didn't intend for it to be, and there was no discernable movement that I saw . . . initially. But, apparently Houzz won't accept them. Just thought this could possibly be the problem with yours, as well.
