Anyone know where Persimmons/PawPaws are growing wild in NJ?
Comments (302)Hi Ano, I have some very small (American) persimmon seedlings. You are welcome to some; bear in mind that most persimmons require both a male and a female closeby for pollination and fruit production. So about 50% chance of that with 3 seedlings, sex unknown. However: the cultivar 'Meader' is unusual in that it is parthenocarpic -- it sets large fruit, with a few sterile seeds generally, *without* a pollinator. So that might be worth the additional time and expense to procure? Also note that many opinions exist as to the best-tasting American persimmon; I considered putting in a 'Prok' also but decided to use the space for Chinese mulberries instead. Another cheap possible source: state university nurseries generally raise and sell a variety of trees, once-a year, bareroot, in the late autumn. These sales are usually not well publicized. -- Stan in Hamilton, NJ 609.731.3882...See MoreCost of finishing basement in NJ?
Comments (10)It's difficult to give any kind of estimate because prices across the country and even across regions can vary so much. If your father is an electrical contractor he should know some folks who do good work; which is far more important that the lowest price. So you're looking to finish 500-600 square feet. The price per square foot is going to be higher than a larger basement because there are some fixed costs that need to be accounted for. It doesn't matter, for example, if the contractor orders 100 2x4s or 300, he still needs to sit down a place an order. It sounds like there aren't a lot of variables in your project but you should make sure that everyone is bidding on the same specs. so you can compare apples to applies. If you go with a drop ceiling you can spend less than 50 cents per square foot for panels to well over $2. Do you want painted trim, stained, how about that staircase?...See MoreNew Homeowner in Central NJ- First Renovation ; Please help!!
Comments (35)Magsnj, I'd almost certainly want to protect that nice window in the pantry too. Sigh. I liked my idea, too. The big issue is obviously what to do with the elephant-in-the-kitchen. 1. How about seeing what reframing the door from the DRM down in the lower corner does for you, like Bellsmom's but all the way down? You'd be able to go in and out from the back garden without actually walking "through" the kitchen. The refrigerator could go left of the doorway, invisible from the rest of the house (you put a panel across its side), the stove would be on the LRM wall, and there'd be work counter to the fridge's right to join the counter around the stove. 2. My favorite option from a distance: How about moving the door to the back yard out of the kitchen and into the dining room, giving it the work space it needs? Perhaps as one a trio of French doors. I imagine those three windows there are a very nice feature you'd like to leave alone but, ultimately, opening up a direct relationship between your living spaces and the rear garden would improve livability as a whole and, of course, allow you to set the elephant down into that lower left corner where the current door is, with storage alongside. Then the options would be much more fun: * Have the stove back to the DRM wall in a closed kitchen, * Put it on the LRM wall and create an open work counter at the DRM wall. * Slide the DRM door up against the closet for the additional layout options that offers. (You'd probably have to reframe it anyway to fit in the fridge.)...See MoreWindow World Reviews Central NJ
Comments (2)Agree, window world offer a low grade window, thats how they sell so cheap. Think about it, how can they offer a good window and good install at their prices? They cannot. They try and tell customers they buy in bulk and they believe their customers should get the best prices ect... thats a bunch of nonsense. Power does NOT use laminated glass, they use tempered on the inner part of the window only. Its an average window at best but better than window world. Look at okna, majestic windows by ideal, soft lite, kensington or sunrise....See Moremagsnj
