Thanks TXSkeeter! I believe you could be correct on both issues. The Door Repairman that told me the doors would have to be replaced before selling was not trying to sell me doors. He was encouraging me to keep the doors. He said in the San Diego, CA area many are of this type (since hard winters are not expected). IâÂÂll try to contact him to see if he can help me find heavier springs. The openers have worked since the mid 80s (with repairs), they or I could use a little help. I feel one set has stretched more from âÂÂCyclesâÂÂ/Use because it feels heavier. As far as I know these type doorâÂÂs weight is not balanced to stand open at any point. The springs should carry the bulk of the weight. I have seen single and double sheet metal doors that were almost impossible to open due to broken springs. ThatâÂÂs the #1 reason I w/n want a double wide door. They are handy with todayâÂÂs Trucks. Plus, if the house w/n designed âÂÂGood Newâ with the span for the double door, I feel you will get some sag. There is 2.5 âÂÂof 2X4 just above the case openings below the 3/4â Ply 2 Cabinet Units mounted vs built in. The 2X4 can go if needed to fit panel doors due to screws cabinet to framing and threaded rod bottom of cabinet to above supports on top of truss ceiling joists. The Over Kill in the 70s was my nature âÂÂBut Not TodayâÂÂ. Brass bushings and tempered bolts are fitted in the arms to allow more years. We or I had planned to move bake to a Simpler Life after retirement but things and Grands have changed. We moved here in 1973 on the last street, now there are miles of streets/homes south of us to the next towns. Enough Said!

Raintree Nursery has been in business for over 30 years, has a great selection for the PNW, and their pollination charts in their catalog are of great value. They send good quality stock mail order or (if you want an outing or need several trees, shrubs (like blueberries), strawberries, etc.,) it's worth the drive to Morton WA. It's about 100 miles from Portland as I recall. Here is a link that might be useful: Raintree Nursery Web Site

Definitely not high quality but we just bought our leather sectional from Jcpenneys and they have some that fit your description to a T. The ivory track arm style that sits lower to ground but comfortable and not weirdly on the floor as some of these new styles are was simply beautiful. I went for the light tan and its soft as butter and actually very well made. We simply love it. You could spend the money saved on other decorating items. Everyone that sees it compliments on it. Yes, I will get a host of texts after this commenting on Jcpenneys lower quality which I agree but this particular sectional that comes in TONS of optional colors was really my best purchase of 2011. loveeeeeee it.

Does it matter how much light the plant is receiving or what the outdoor temp is when doing this? Yes, to both questions. The amount of stored photosynthate (sugar/ energy) a plant has plays a big part in whether or not a plant will root, and how fast. Example: In the northern hemisphere, propagules taken from the south side of plants in the ground typically root stronger and faster than their counterparts taken from the E, W, or N side of the plant. Too, propagules that were oriented vertically or closest to vertically typically have greater amounts of stored energy than those with a more horizontal orientation. The same would hold true for air-layers. The plant's current ability to create food/ energy is also a factor, which makes June the best time to air layer most trees one might grow indoors. Citrus trees would be an exception to that generality. Temperatures: Most plants grow best/ fastest in that 68-78*F range, especially when night temps lag day temps by about 10*. As with any cultural factor, the closer conditions are to the limits of what the plant is able to tolerate, genetically, the more iffy propagational success becomes. General rule for cuttings: Bottom heat is often very helpful during the first stages of rooting - formation of root initials followed by root primordia. No bottom heat is necessary at ambient temps at or above 72*F, and night air temperatures lagging day temps by 10*F is normally more conducive to root formation. Al
