paranoid...should i DO anything?
Comments (1)The fact that it's blooming so nicely for you is a good sign-- it's happy in general and especially with the amount of light it's getting. Pick off the flowers as soon as they start to fade, and the plant will bloom longer. Also, pick off the older, larger leaves at the bottom once they start to look ratty. That also helps keep it blooming. Is the leaf color different than it was when you bought the plant? Use distilled water and you'll get the best results. I don't feed mine very often, but I use a liquid AV food that disolves in water. I feed only about once a month. Others may have their own methods they can share. AVs are very forgiving plants. Just don't drown them. They need to dry out between waterings....See MoreShould I add this to my new construction home?
Comments (1)If you good Southern exposure...why not. You have a good chunk of the expense already absorbed. Might as well have it start paying you back now....See Morepls tell me what colours should I use for my new home?
Comments (13)I would drive around other neighborhoods and find color combinations that make you smile. I do like the darker color on the bottom half of the house and lighter on top. Go to a paint store and get a brochure on exterior colors; see which ones please you. What color is your roof?...See MoreNew home, all basement wires cut, should I ask for a new pull?
Comments (11)No stealing the copper. They just left the wires cut and it looks like someone wanted to give a big middle finger. I agree with being able to move the box up under the stairs. I’d have no problem with that one as the resolution. Thanks for confirming my assumptions that new wire should be ran instead of splicing. Honestly, from all the times that I’ve been at the site and seen the disgusting messes and how the workers treat their job site and the soon to be my property, this doesn’t surprise me. I am looking forward to moving in and learning a lot on this site as a new homeowner!...See Moremdev
