@Cindy Bolen we are using Windsors here in Salt Lake. they are VERY popular and used widely in the hot dry valleu and the harsher canyons (park city). why? im guessing the climate here is better suited, not as humid. they came highly recommended and we also considered marvins and vinyl kolbes. if i lived in a more humid environment i may have considered the kolbes… but with the local distributor being one of windsors top/largest markets, and having a great relationship with them and our builder, we felt wise in our decision.

My husband and I put Bella Cera Monza french oak flooring (color Adriana) in our home about a year before we decided to sell. We loved it because it was the only engineered flooring I could find that actually looks like authentic traditional wide plank solid hard wood. There's no sheen to give it away. In fact a RE agent who sees tons of homes asked if it was solid wood and our installer who does tons of floors said he wanted it for his home. We got lots of compliments. We love it so much that we plan to put it in our new home that we're currently building.

Russell is on our short list for cabinet makers ( Crown Point is also on the list) for our kitchen renovation. Has anyone used him? If so, anything you could share about working with him and the quality of his cabinets would be appreciated. Thank you, D&C

I haven't so had to look it up. Interesting cultivars to say the least and reminds me of the mountain magic hybrid I grow. They can sit on the counter about a month at 70 to 75 degrees and still taste good to without any signs of going bad, and believe it's because they have a rather thick skin. So now I need to experiment with them this year leaving the tomatoes on the branches and store them at 60 degrees and some other bunches at 75 to see how long they will last. I can only imagine how thick the skins of those storage tomatoes are to last 4 to 6 months.
