How much sun for GE progeny Dream Weaver or Dream Queen?
Comments (10)Les, this picture of Dream Queen was taken on June 12, 2012. It is growing well under spruce trees and has a northern exposure, so it does not get a lot of sun but it is well watered. I planted it at the same soil level as in the nursery pot. I've had to repot my Dream Weaver as it was not doing well in the ground in an eastern exposure, which by all accounts should be a superior location. I believe the difference in growth can be explained by the amount of WATER they received. I think water is the key to a hosta thriving and sunshine is key to the rate of growth. But these are not new concepts to this forum. So to answer your question I would say that water is more important than the amount of sunshine that DQ and DW get as long as the amount of sunshine is adequate....See Morechasing the dream or throwing good money after bad
Comments (14)You sound just like my DH & I a few years ago. Spent $$$$ and over a year on houseplans, bought the land and then things fell apart. The mortgage crisis was in full swing, lenders weren't lending to people who wanted to GC themselves (not that they were freely lending to legitimate builders either but that's another story). GCing ourselves was a huge portion of the savings so we could afford the house we had planned. Then we finally found a lender and just like yours, he looked for alternative ways to make it work for us because the typical loan routes wouldn't work for us due to the appraisal not coming in where it should have--I have the mortgage crisis to thank for that. That's when warning bells went off for us--they went off for DH a little before they did for me. I was so set on the dream... Then I found GW... Here's a link to that original post that so sounds like yours: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/build/msg0101135230086.html The members on the forums were great at giving advice on which decision to make and helping hammer out plans. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Summerfield Designs in particular for steering us in the right direction and all the hand-holding through getting the elevation just right. If you haven't figured it out by now, we ended up changing the dream. How did we do it? First we made a list of all the things we knew were needs (i.e. 3 BR/2.5 Ba min), then listed the wants (i.e. mudroom, laundry room). Then we took the needs and specced out the specifics--minimum room sizes, room locations, etc. We kept a lot of the features we liked from the first floor of the original dream home and incorporated them into the new plan based on the list of needs. In the end, we were able to add another bath, give the kids walk-in closets, and a staircase to the attic/future bonus. It took a lot of late nights, a lot of compromise, a lot of will power to stay with the needs and not keep adding in the wants that inevitably grew square footage tremendously. Summerfield helped us come up with the exterior elevations which were fabulous. We then took the floorplan drawings/elevations & the CAD file from the previous draftsperson (who gave us the rights to the plans) to a totally different design team who we came across during the very frustrating & $$$$$$ process of designing the original plan. In just a week we had initial drawings with some modifications the new designer made to use space more efficiently. Within 3 weeks, the floorplan was set and we went to work on the elevations. 2 weeks after that we were done. We put the drawings out to bid and eventually decided on a builder. Getting the financing was much easier with a smaller house (it's still more than twice the size of the starter home we came from). Within 2 weeks we were breaking ground. We lucked out with the builder as he only builds homes with stick built open roof plans (I think that's what its called) meaning if we want to, we can finish the entire attic space less knee walls! 5.5 months later, the house was done and we were all moved in...and finally LIVING the dream. Anyway, that's how we did it. I wish you all the luck in the world with your project. Sometimes things happen for a reason that hasn't been revealed/uncovered yet. For us, it was definitely the case. DH asks me all the time, "What if the bank had agreed to the original plan on those crazy terms? Would we be living the life we are now or would we be worrying about how to make the mortgage payment every month or worse yet have lost everything due to the market volatility?" And at those times, I agree and breathe a sigh of relief that we came up with a new dream home. And truly, the house we built fits our needs better & I still get thrilling rush of joy when I pull up to the house after work each day. The icing on the cake is that with a smaller house, there is less to clean! Hope this rambling post helps! Feel free to contact me via the boards or email if you need any help.

Comments (7)My so was about 2 1/2 when we decided to take the pacifier away. He would suck so much on his pacifier that a small hole would end up on the bottom. Well when he sucked it after there was the hole , it made a strange sound he didn't like. Needless to say I decided not to replace the pacifer (as I had done in the past when this happened)and told him it was broke and there weren't any more to buy!! I guess he bought this. He would put it in his mouth and it would make the sqeak squeak sound he didn't like with it having a hole and he would take it out and complain and I would say how it was broke. At bedtime I began to lay in his room on the carpeting as he went to sleep...next I moved to the hall...in the hall he could not see me and would ask if I was still there...this made him feel comfortable knowing I was around. I would stay there until I could he went to sleep. The eventually it wouldn't take any time for him to go to sleep and I would very quietly move further away from his room. It actually took about 2 weeks, and I was a stay at home Mom but it did work. I selected Christmas holiday when I knew my daughter would be out of school and I could be more flexible with her sleeping in case her brother while getting off the pacifer cried and kept her awake for a long time. He did do some crying at first but then stopped. This method may seem strange, but it worked for us. I guess everyone has their own way of doing it, but after a few days of trying off and on to suck on his pacifer and it making a loud squishy squeaky noise he more or less went cold turkey on doing without the pacifer that was broke. Good luck! ~Lynn~...See MoreHaving bad dreams about a friend from long ago
Comments (16)Reason Season Lifetime People always come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do. When someone is in your life for a REASON, It is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, Or to provide you with guidance and support, To aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, This person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they just walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on. When people come into your life for a SEASON, It is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, The season eventually ends. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; Those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person anyway; And put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being part of my life, Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. Author � Unknown...See MoreLars
