the higher the number, the more shady. At least that's the rule here. 90% cloth is quite dark. Regarding why people think you don't need to remove the shade cloth, presumably once you have hardened them off under shade cloth they are strong enough to go outside into direct sun.

Ahughes (or anybody else), if you're interested in a trade or SASBE, check out my exchange list... Esh-ga, thanks for the good wishes on the winter-sowing. So far done 65 containers, including 38 native species and several cultivars of native species. Its been fun, and I can't wait to see how well things germinate and grow! Winter-sowing affords the opportunity to grow lots of natives that would be difficult or impossible to get at nurseries, or exorbitantly expensive to buy as plants. I bought lots of native seeds (and a few non-native) this winter and offered extras on the Seed Exchange forum. There was a lot of interest in native seeds, which was nice. But I was dismayed to see people trading invasive species like Euonymous alatus (burning bush) or Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven). One poster even explained on her exchange page how she grows Oriental bittersweet and keeps it contained on a trellis so it's okay! Yeah...only if she strips off every berry...if she saw how it's strangling native trees around here, she might change her mind!

Room is painted. We ended up picking BM Just Peachy, which came out great! Nice pale pink, not too nursery, not too hot pink. The room has a nice "glow" so far and the sun has not been out for days here... -palimpsest- The suggestion to follow pinks from the Brown line of colors was a great idea and that's how we ended up with this color, I kept telling my DD not to read the name of the color-- this usually misleads. She's happy. -rtmom2- To answer your furniture question. DD has natural wood with pine knots showing, french country style. The headboard has subtle stencil done in pale pinks,greens,peach flowers in a light brown basket. Some of this repeats on a smaller scale on the hutch,dresser. The pink on the walls picks up the pink in the flowers and seems to take on something from the natural wood, this pink and the natural wood looks good in the room. The pine knots which are darker will help with the brown that we are working with and I am considering changing her dresser,desk knobs to metal oil-rubbed bronze ones to tie in a new look. We got our furniture years ago at Seamans Kids here in the Northeast, they've gone out of business. Have you tried IKEA for natural wood look? My DD also is not yet into "black" as a color, seems to be the consensus all around...wait another 3 years! Yikes! Good luck. Thank you everyone for all the good ideas, I like the thin line in contrasting paint or some sort of stencil. I'll have to play around with that myself. I hope to put out pictures soon.

@Karen Williams This is the control panel on my tankless water heater. Water Set Point ... the output temperature the unit feeds into the hot faucets ... can be set in 1°F increments between 50°F and 140°F. Temp Up and Temp Down buttons adjust the Water Set Point temperature. Then press Temp Set to make it the normal at-all-times temperature if desired ... otherwise the adjustment is temporary and will revert back after a number of minutes. I have 103°F as the "normal" temperature and raise it when needed for washing dishes or clothes, without pressing Temp Set, and it reverts back to 103°F after 30 minutes so I don't have to remember to do that. That's just how my unit works, they're not all the same. Setting the temperature "at the faucet" means I set the water heater to the temperature of heated water I want/need "at the faucet" ... such as 103°F for a shower, instead of 120°F or 135°F which is much hotter than needed for a shower ... and I turn on only the hot faucet (or set a single-lever faucet to full-hot with no cold mixed-in). Thus, the tankless unit has a high-enough flow rate passing through it for the duration of the shower to insure it doesn't shut off due to too-low flow. 120°F, 135°F, 140°F output temperature requires mixing in cold water and turning down the hot flow at the faucet to get a comfortable shower, which reduces the flow through tankless possibly below the required rate which can cause it to shut off completely and the shower goes cold. Remote control panel means exactly that ... some tankless water heaters can have an optional extra temperature control panel installed at a convenient location such as bathroom or kitchen so the homeowner doesn't have to go down to a basement or out to a garage or wherever the heater is located to adjust the temperature. My heater doesn't have a remote control but it's located in a broom closet in my laundry room behind the kitchen near the center of the house so is easy to access any time I want to change the setting.
