Anyone Getting Rid of a Decent Kitchen in North Florida?

12 years ago

Okay. I k now this is a long shot, but if there is anyone in the vicinity of North Florida who is remodeling a kitchen, please take note! :)

I have a friend of a friend (I swear it is not me) who is building a super green house and would like to recycle/upcycle cabinets for the kitchen. Ideally the cabinets would be retro, mod, metal but this person is open to anything.

I've checked Habitat RE-Store but Gainesville is pretty lacking in the thrift inventory.

Okay...fingers crossed!

I just posted this in a new post but then thought of you and this thread. It's in Palm Beach but thought I'd throw it your way anyhow. I think that it can be made into a modern type kitchen.

Mike, Unfortunately I have to start over with my ice cream banana because i left it out in the cold. I'm currently moving and might try with a metal halide indoors. While we're on the subject of tropicals though I have a miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) in Al's 5-1-1 by a window with a cfl which is currently flushing yet again. It initally dropped all its leaves back in march but its come all the way back. Hopefully I'll get some fruit from it soon. I also have a second one of these trees- I put it in the 5-1-1 but with Sphagnum instead of peat. It dropped all its leaves and has done nothing at all for the past 3 months. The moss is very slow to dry but I hear these love water so I don't know whats wrong with this one. Maybe it needs humidity indoors to get it kick started. If anyone would know, i'd love to hear. I'm anxious to try growing some citrus this summer. -Greg

Anyone from North Florida?

Pete has a point about the neighborhood by neighborhood soil issue. I am absolutely amazed by the variety of soils that exist in Florida. The neighborhood that is located outside the gate of our neighborhood has some heavy clay. Five miles away some people have all sand. Luckily where I am we have some decent soil as we used to be farmland. I also watched my builder like a hawk and told him my topsoil was to be put back on my property after the house went up. I made sure no one touched my pile of dirt. Builders are famous for taking someones topsoil away and selling it, and then bringing in builders sand. When you get moved, have your soil tested to see what it's made up of. I still think you can grow chinas like Cramoisi Superier, Louis Philippe, and the tea Mrs. BR Cant on their own roots. I think I'd be tempted to try some of the Bermuda Mystery roses too. But.... you can't go wrong with fortuniana. If it were me, I would bring all my favorite roses with me, even if they had to live in pots for awhile. I wish something would kill off MY chili thrips! Sandy

Floridajoshua potential trip up north!!!! Anyone interested?

Cluelessinva, I know this thread is from awhile back, and I saw the new thread regarding the "NE tour" (so bummed i didn't know about it until now), but i was hoping i'd be able to contact you this way and ask you how your ss is behaving now, after florida joshua worked on them? I initially heard about your ss on bayareafrancy's patina galore thread. I was one of the ones having the same issues as you -- oily spots that wouldn't get clean, shredded paper towels, sawtooth marks, etc. I ended up hand sanding mine, which improved the paper towel shredding issue and slightly improved the oily spotting issue, but then i also had resigned myself to being unhappy about my ss. It's been many years since install, and has patina'd ok, but i never felt like my ss was ever completely right. I started searching thru gw again to see if there were any new answers and to decide whether i should finally remove my ss. Sorry this is a little long, but i would love to know how your ss is afterflorida joshua worked his magic and whether you are happy with it in the end. If you wouldn't mind telling me approx how much it costs to refinish a kitchen full of ss, that would really help as well. If it is over 1-2k, i might as well just remove the darned thing and put the money towards new countertops.... If it was "reasonable" and you are happy with the end product, i am going to wait for florida joshua's next trip! Thanks so much for your help.

Anyone gotten rid of a stand mixer?

Linelle, Thx! I will try the extra long mixing. I also chill my dough when I have time. My grandmother (96 and still making cookies) told me to use extra flour which also helps with the spreading. I watch my cookies like a hawk and take them out right before they look done :) I love the dough and the cookies! I have a gray KA mixer that I love but now that it's on my new counter, in my new kitchen, I really, really, really, want a pretty color!!! Oh but the guilt in getting something new when what I have works just fine.... hatethecold- I am stealing your screen name :)
