Talk about humidity, we've had it lately! For a week now, between Mobile and New Orleans, the weather is solid overcast, and temps are in the high 70s sometimes up to mid 80s during the day. I'm at my brother's house tonight, and it is already beginning to get foggy. My DH is up in Mass, and he is expecting a foot of snow tonight, has wood piled up beside the fireplace, and will sleep in front of it just in case the power goes out. So finally winter arrives in New England. I think perhaps the warmer temps have folks less inclined to hibernate for the winter. It is certainly the warmest winter I can remember. What do you think? My other favorite forum is on the house side, Smaller Homes, and it has a lot more activity than normal as well. And a lot of newer folks visiting and posting.

I'm not sure what mites look like when they've been at palms, as I said I havn't the foggiest about them, the link martin kindly provided makes me think it might be leaf spot, I have the pictures now. The blotches seem almost like a snake skin.

(((Kat))) this is very weird. I posted to this thread yesterday and also to Clairedo's painted door. There doesn't appear to be any postings from me showing up. weird.

I almost never post anything negative about a company unless it’s something egregious. Well, I had an absolutely awful experience with Semihandmade and strongly encourage anyone to stay away from them. We had ordered cabinet doors in a specific color. After delivery, we scheduled kitchen installers to come and install our kitchen. When they arrived, they noticed that one of the main pieces was sent in the wrong color. I contacted Semihandmade and they stated they would not start the process to manufacture the piece in the correct color until they received pictures verifying they sent us the wrong color. I explained, that due to an extenuating circumstance (even told the person what that circumstance was) I wouldn’t be able to go to the house for a number of days but to please start the process. Despite knowing this, they refused to even start the process of making the piece in the correct color. That one single piece took something close to 5 weeks +/- to make and ship out to us. My husband and I incurred a pretty significant loss due to our renovation coming to a halt, expenses, etc. The main thing that disappointed us is their unwillingness to budge with their policy despite being informed of the life-changing extenuating circumstance. I wish I never knew about Semihandmade. It’s an awful company
