I figured out what I want to do with my small bathroom!!
Comments (9)I'm not sure why a local cabinet shop couldn't make what you want if you get the specs and do scaled drawings to review with them and refine the construction aspects. There's some similar things in the link here, but I didn't check into sizing. I'm not sure why the "concept" would be different for a cabinet maker. It looks like frameless construction, which I'm sure all shops are doing now. The only confusing thing for me is the toilet cabinet. Maybe it's designed to fit over the tank. Dunno. Here is a link that might be useful: interesting...See MoreWho figured out your kitchen ventilation needs and when?
Comments (4)You kinda have to be on point on this. A lot depends on what type of cooking you do and with what type of range. That sets the baseline for the needs. Your range or cooktop manufacturer will have recommendations that should be followed in order to comply with code as well. And, when you need to move enough air, that involves figuring out make-up air as well. Once you figure up how much air needs to move, then you need to figure out what route that air needs to take. That could be as simple as straight through the roof, or as complicated as straight up, 90 degree through the top shelf of some cabinets to another 90 to go through the back corner of the master closet on the second floor and then through the attic and roof. If it's not simple, that's when you involve the HVAC people for the route and the ducting needed. And you hire the best, because make-up air is still not that understood by many in the trade and you get lots of folks who just scratch their head and grunt at you when you mention it. After the how much, and where's are figured out, then you get down to the specific models and the look of the whole thing. Your own personal aesthetic and budget will be the main limiting factors there, so again, it's best if you are in the drivers seat on this, even if you have a GC or KD. Just be sure that you are in communication with all about the different aspects. That's the ideal situation. But for people who don't want to be as involved, they usually just pay the GC extra to be sure that it's part of their supervisory responsibilities. Then it's up to the GC and KD to coordinate the nitty gritty....See MoreI need help figuring out my ceiling...
Comments (4)Were they able to give you a quote for rewiring the house? We did that in our current house before we moved in, plaster walls-fun times, and have enjoyed peace of mind about what could have been lurking ;) Maybe the rest of the house is just fine, but it might not be a bad idea to do a little more exploring before you make a final decision....See MoreI need help figuring out why my tomato leaves are looking dark
Comments (6)Thank you... and no I didn't repot it. Tried taking pics in a shadier spot but my camera wasn't picking up on the dark colors on the leaves as good. I did notice after posting this that if I look at the bottom of the leaves that the veins are dark also. I have only had it about 2.5 weeks so it's still pretty new to me. I know that before I purchased it they had just given it some plant food, mirical grow for vegetables I believe, and I had completely forgot about picking some up, I've never used it before, so I was wondering if that could be part of the problem. It was used to getting some sort of plant food once a week from what they said and then after it came home to live on my deck it hasn't had any, but I get paid tomorrow so I'll be picking some up then. Any suggestions on what would be the best kind to get?...See Morewogamax
