tee-hee-hee! One of my Kindergartners was sooooo excited yesterday morning. She said, "Miss Skipper! I saw a MONARCH in my garden!" Her mom had told me just last week that the Milkweed we'd planted in the fall was doing really well so perhaps THAT is what attracted the butterfly... hmmm...maybe it is time to plant more of my 'famous' Asclepias curassavica 'tdogmom' with the kids...

From what I read, the 2x4s he installed are on the subfloor underneath the tub? Your tub was installed incorrectly and needs to be removed, especially being it is an acrylic tub. A support frame should have been created by doing exactly what the manufacturer said by installing horizontally, 2x4s to the existing wall studs. You cannot do this after the fact as you mentioned. If this is not done, you will have issues, the tub sides can flex downward with any kind of weight, causing cracking or a break in the caulk seal around the tile. The 2x4s support your tub under the flange. In addition, the tub should have been set in a bed of thinset or mortar to provide some securing of the tub and leveling. You can put some insulation around the tub.

I thought I would empty my sent folder. It had lots of old emails within. As I was emptying it, I discovered that somewhere along the line.....the emails were getting the wrong date. Some were dated as far forward as September 2010. The date problem at some point got corrected......so the July 2010 files were being placed before the Sept. and Aug emails.....thus being hidden (to me). To make a long story short.....the problem seem to be resolved. Larry

Jaqnet, I just used photobucket to post my pictures. It was easy, not like the lastime when I used shutterfly. I didn't even upload them to my computer first, just directly to photobucket. After they were uploaded it listed the web address for each photo directly below it. I did have to resize the photos before posting, under the edit photo tab. I think you will find me positng a lot more pics now. Ann, does smugmug immediately show you the web address? I should check out the otehr options. I don't know what the limit for photos is on photobucket. -Robin Here is a link that might be useful: photobucket
