Haven't been able to get back..sorry! Thanks so much everyone...checking out that rose site too!! I planted according to your instructions. David Austin suggested some root plant food but I waited a week and sprinkled just a little. I wanted to ask how one replies to each individual response here....I can't seem to figure that out..is it possible? (thanks ahead of time) Everyone's kind words and encouragement have given me hope!! I am seeing some new fleshy growth along the canes..nearer the bottom of them. I've also seen a couple of thin canes shooting off green ones that are dark brown. Are they dead or alive shoots? I have no idea. Been reading about the aphids and such. I use Concern and I inquired on an agricultural site here in Ky as to what I could use that would not kill my Koi.I sprayed my wild climbing rose(which I keep trimmed down) and nothing attacked it this year and no black spot either..I was thrilled. Hopefully it will work on all the pests that will attack my new roses! I still have my mulch piled around the canes and check every day to make sure the soil is damp..only water if needed. Here in Ky we have had a very cool and WET Spring. Just up until about 2 weeks ago we stayed in the 50's here. It's warmer but not humid yet. Again,thanks. I'm hanging in there and my husband told me to just "camp out" in the garden since it seems every time he looks up I'm standing over those new roses in anticipation. They most likely won't bloom this year but I just hope they survive. With friends like you I'm sure I will have more than enough support! You all may want to check out "Concern"..I don't recall what website I found it on but it seems to take care of aphids and the rose predators. I do not spray plants otherwise...just never know what might drift over to the Koi pond and I don't want to take any chances...well...running off to clip the Wisteria back some...now there's a plant!! It would take over the world if given the chance!!! :)))))

Read the manuals. One problem with the Wave Touch is that you can't just look at it and know all (or most) of the options that have been selected. So for the first few weeks, step through all the options till you get a feel for which ones will always be used on which settings. And consider saving some combinations as favorites. For example, on the dryer I'll use Normal cycle for both sheets and t-shirts, but I'll only set Perfect Tumble for the sheets Until I saved that configuration as a favorite, I'd always check the settings to make sure Perfect Tumble was either set or off as appropriate.

Thanks all, I'll grab a new saw tomorrow. Regarding the stud cavity, sorry for the confusion. I was just rounding up to show the difference in size between the opening I needed, and what I was finding online which were mostly for small outlet boxes. The enclosure is sized to fit perfectly between the studs. I have another one just like it directly below the location for the new one. We just finished building the house, so I know exactly what's in the wall behind it (photo documentation). We just didn't realize how much space we would need in the first enclosure while we were building, else we would have put the second one in at the same time. I'll be using the top one for coiling the all of the cabling neatly, and perhaps enclosing the less frequently accessed RG6 splitters, freeing up space in the bottom for the network switches, router, etc. It's not a circuit breaker panel, just low voltage connection point for the structured wiring in the house. There will be about 6 inches of clearance between the two, but the cables just feed from the top to bottom through each to the various mounted components like the cable modem. Thanks again!

No question about it - the best starter kit you could buy him would be a book on soil science and one on basic botany. Those two topics constitute the major bump in the road every budding bonsai artist runs into and few get by. Without a working knowledge of these topics, the frustration inherent in the inability to keep your trees alive/healthy enough to work on leaves the grower feeling unrewarded for his efforts. Al
