Comments (151)Yeah Denise! I can't wait to meet another GWer. :-) Big cheesy grin. AND FOR THE BIG NEWSSSSS... YEAH! I got a special early delivery (there were so many boxes that were large she had to come with an early delivery. Yeah!) We got boxes. She said there may be one or two more that will show up with the normal mail run. I already opened them all and started sorting them sooooooo.... Drum roll Please.... Here is a list of what we have so far... Tammy/Greenthumbgrow - Plants here :-) Sakura Komichi/CA - Box Recieved :-) Bhnash - flowergirl34/Vina - Box Recieved (hugh box by the way:-) Robin1962/Robin - Box Recieved Gardenmom2/Nichol - Zinaray/Toni - Box Recieved Kamiljablo/Kamil - Box Recieved Heatherbon/Heather - antiqueorchid/Denise - Stopping by Friday :-) NOTE on Fran - Sent a letter to let everyone know that she is without phone or internet until they can find another provider in their area. She said she misses everyone here and that she realllly wants to get online but DH won't take her to the library 'just for' GW. LOL. (He just don't understand. LOL) She said sorry she wasn't able to participate in the swap. Some of you sent her plants anyway I will go ahead do the postage for her and ship them out so she will get them. Just a NOTE: EVERYONE Did a wonderful job with packing this time. ALL Plants look wonderful and I am sure 99% of them will look marvelous when you get them (as long as the po and the weather cooperate) I will take photos of the piles before I box them up to give you all a previous of what is to come. I did sprites them with a little water from a bottle to keep them moist on the ones that were not sealed in the the paper bags (if they are sealed I found it best not to disturb them) Vina - Your plants are MARVELOUS. They are HUGH plants. Everyone will be more than pleased with what you sent. (I thought I was listed for one of your sedums? I may have forgot to hit submit on the post I am not sure but keep me in mind in the spring swap if you have more. I really love them.) Oh and fran sent your postage as you agreed with her so now there is double. LOL. Waiting on boxes from: Bhnash Nichol Heather Denise - Stopping By around 12ish. Hopefully the last few come in around 12ish. That would be so great to be able to get them back out today/tomorrow....See More12/2 vs 14/2 romex
Comments (16)My house was built in 1940 and although the electrical service had been upgraded to breakers, I only had seven circuits. I had an electrician do a "heavy up" upgrade to a 200 amp service breaker box about 3 months ago, and it was relatively straightforward. The house had mostly 2 wire outlets, and the metal flexible conduit was used to ground all the metal outlet boxes together. There was also 2 newer utility outlets in the basement that used modern 12/3 and 14/3 romex. The range and dryer were gas and I had no A/C, and the kitchen did not have a dishwasher, microwave or disposal, so the initial electrical load was okay with only seven circuits. I got prices on the heavy up that varied from $1950 to $2800, and I took the low offer because it was a very experienced electrician who was interested in part-time work. Everything was done with a permit and inspected by the city. He had no issues with connecting the old wiring to the new box since he was experienced with it, and I now have a 200 amp box with 30 breakers. Note: he also replaced the meter base as part of the upgrade, and the power company upgraded the incoming overhead line. Bruce...See MoreAnyone have a 2 and 1/2 inch wood island top?
Comments (19)Well, I finally did it.....I actually ordered the darn thing. It will arrive in about a month. Ended up going with a two inch top. My husband broke down and built a prototype so I could really get the look and feel of this thing. He made it to size and even painted it a dark brown. Started out with a 2-1/2" version and it just felt too tall for me functionally...it looked good, though. He whacked off some boards from the bottom and it was then 2". We both agreed that this height was better. Moral of the story, so wish we had done this prototype weeks ago. It made all the difference in helping me make my decision. I'm not good at visualizing. Our island is very small so it wasn't that big a deal to make the prototype. I encourage any of you out there to do the same if at all possible....See Moresena01
