What plant gives you the biggest pain?
Comments (32)Hi all Crazy weather this year, esp along the Northern NSW/SE Queelnsland coast where many of us live - Jack, Kerry, Ross and some I haven't yet met I don't think. Very few plants rotted, and no Alcantareas died despite the cms of mud impregnated into the bottom of the pots. Unfortunately I lost plants of some N carcharodons, some Hohenbergias esp castellanosii clumps and a few large Vr fosteriana forms. Even the T tectorums among the rocks in full sun (rain at the time!) are fine. It rained for months and I've recorded over 2.5 metres for the year so far. Now it's getting dry with no rain for 42 days and temps starting to get well over 25C with over 30 forecast in the next few days - very warm for August but the nights are mostly cool/cold still so not much grows. We don't usually get the freezes like in the States, though a couple of yrs ago was another crazy year, not with rain but severe frost as Kerry sure knows. Lisa, the Navias like arida and ignesicola can't take the months of cold nights I get, mostly well below 10C. They are low altitude species but the ones from the tops of the tepuis are even trickier I gather but should take the cold. Cheers, Pedro...See MoreInspection pains around make up air and my new cc
Comments (46)I like the idea of the craigslist stove and swap later. I tend to get very frustrated on things like this. But alas I'm trying to work the system properly to succeed. I will happily let you know the town, just give me a few weeks to get it all resolved. I don't want us to be bad mouthing my inspector while I'm still trying to get it done. It's a suburban Boston town just on 128 near rt 2. Thing about the inspector is that I respect the guy for trying to make sure all is safe but auto ons and grease clear outs on ductwork and the wanting my MUA install validated by building sciences energy raters has all come back ok, but at the end of the day he just has a nasty gut reaction I think to a really big btu stove in a residence and all the conundrums that come with it. Trevor I will give you a call, you and Eurostoves have been great but I haven't engaged you with this issue yet because I didn't want to be too much of a bother, but seems like it's time to get some reinforcements....See Moredeep sinks and lower back pain?
Comments (28)My SIL cautioned me on this after she chose the same sink model she'd had before but in an undermount version not drop-in. She's a few inches taller than me and said that it does make her back ache when she has to reach in or when she's lifting a large pot full of water. I had planned to use the same model I currently have but now I'm hesitating. If I did this, I'd have one bowl 11 1/4" below the countertop as opposed to current 9 1/2" (10" deep bowl that sit 1/2" above countertop). The other bowl is about 2" shallower so this side won't be a problem. It's the almost 1' foot deep sink that gives me pause. I've already had my share of back problems, don't need to add to them but I'm not sure how this will affect me. So many of the sinks I see are the same depths regardless of mount style. While I can understand this from manufacturers' point of view (fewer design modifications, reduced cost), it does mean that we consumers are often stuck. Once again what I thought would be a simple decision has grown in scale. Oy. So I'm going to ask hubby to make me a 1 3/4" tall booster to put at the sink to test out whether that difference will be a problem. If so, then I need to keep on shopping. (I think shopping for a sink with a tape measure is *very smart*! 'Course I say that because I do it, too!)....See MoreLiving wage growing pains
Comments (25)Businesses face a real conundrum. They don't want to commit to pay the help more or be forced to provide benefits (increase their fixed expenses) but they all need the help to have buying power beyond basic living needs (landlord, groceries, utilities and health insurance) or nearly all of the businesses will close down. In my area when the current commercial property leases are up (lease = fixed expense) the properties are going vacant and the person who is really taking the hit is the landlord. But business vacancy is part of a cycle. I think that the reason that California continues to limp along with a large economy is the fact that we have earthquakes. After earthquakes people absolutely have to spend money to fix things and that puts money that's been tied up in savings back into the economy-at least for a while. The fix it cycle is followed by a longer but slower cycle of keeping up with the Joneses-as people repair their properties, their undamaged neighbors decide that they want to make some changes too. I suspect the same thing may be true in some of the other natural disaster prone states except that some of those disasters are so emotionally devastating (Katrina) that people elect to move instead (often to the Pacific Coast and take their chances with the earthquakes)....See MoreDeb Chickenmom
