Thanks Denise, that's what I was kinda thinkin with the variegated kerrii, I just don't have a fondness for them, kinda like KP, something about variegated leaves, have never been my cup of tea. So, I will probably leave it for someone that realy appreciates them. It did have very nice variegation tho, very consistent through out the plant, as well as a good contrast. The white edges were very attractive. . . but $36.00 is a lot of money for a ho hum plant. . . and if they're slow growers and have a tendency to loose their variegation, well that's even more reason not to buy. I chatted with the lady that works at the plant store yesterday. Seems that store gets quite a few hoyas in. She mentioned the hoya *rep* that comes in on occassion, so maybe I'll get lucky and stumble on some other nice, and not so common hoyas. I wouldn't say the obovata you gave me has deformed leaves. They just look weird when they're new. Once they mature, they look a lot better. It has 5 new leaves on it right now and if one didn't know better, they would think it was dying a slow death. . . I really like the plant tho. Maid~

It would make sense to extend the return to the family room if there's no return there. Many homes are way short of returns. But don't extend it to the bath or kitchen; odours in those rooms are not really what you want to recirculate. I'd just cap it with sheet metal as the contractor suggests. That's a typical reasonable fee for a specific housecall. But you can do it yourself for a fraction of that price if you can find a sheet metal supplier with that standard size; otherwise you'll have to have it made up.
