hey first off.. they are NOT water plants.. they do NOT need to be soaked in toto ... if you can figure out how to get water to ONLY the roots ... you win ... and they really dont need water.. they need to STAY MOIST ... not dry out ... see the difference???? i used to put about an inch of water in a bucket.. and rip the plastic wrapping off the bottom .. and just stand them in the pail ... and the inner wrapping of paper towel would wick up what they need ... NEVER forget ... crown material should NOT be underwater ... i used to put the pail in the cold basement for upwards of a week .... in case of delay ... do NOT forget the tape trick to keep unfurled plants.. from collapsing on planting ... masking tape.. on the petioles.. until it falls off itself in a week or three .... and the leaves will magically stand there ... otherwise.. a collapsed leaf will never stand back up ... i would also take a ballpoint pen.. and on the smallest leaf.. write the name .... so you can go back and properly label them later one ... a $25 hosta w/o a name.. is a $5 hosta .. in my sand.. i would remove all potting media .. too divergent ... so it depends on your native soil ... tape trick is covered in a post called MOVING A FULLY LEAFED OUT HOSTA ... or some such nonsense ... i dont know about that guy .. lol after all that.. plant.. preferably ROOTS DOWN ... and that might not even be important ... and THEN TRY TO DROWN THEM .... they are hosta.. do not over worry yourself.. and throw one on the driveway for good measure ... just get it done you are welcome.. and good luck ken

Congratulations! It is nice to not have to deal with a public laundry. I have not heard of Edgestar before. Looking forward to your review of it. Joe

That is odd. iPhones are supposed to have a blue-ish tint while the HTC phones are reddish. I only asked because we didn't know there was red in bianco antico until it was installed. I never saw any red on the slab in the warehouse, but the pieces we got have a good bit of rose colored areas. I thought, looking at your slab, "Pretty! But they're getting A LOT of red!". Haha. Enjoy it! It really makes the kitchen, we found. And they will probably break up the blobs if you need a few cuts. Ours was well proportioned.

I would keep trim consistent in your home and select a white that works everywhere. I wouldn't let your daughter's selected bedroom wall color dictate the entire homes trim color. Best thing to do is get samples and see how whites work in other rooms of your home as well. If you have crown molding, you will need to consider the ceiling as well. In general, with lighter floors, I think warmer whites work best. It might be a good idea to go to your local BM paint store and inquire, they generally are quite helpful.
