thanks, all questions answered. rio I LIKE THAT! my mtd $800 tractor manual xmission requires that i disengage the mower deck to backup. it is a pain really, i often wondered if any tractor allowed you to mow in reverse, not that you want to but it is just eaiser to back up 2' w/o having to disengage then re-engage the deck. as for cruise control apparently keeping your foot on the pedal at a steady pressure is not hard. i don't know, my mtd being a manual i can move both feet any time anywhere. it seemed that cruise control was a huge benefit, appearently not. as for gas consumption, as i stated the difference in these 2 engines is almost 50% more displacement so i was curious about how much more gas that would consume even tho the hp is a small difference. frankly, i doubted the gas usuage would be noticed but i wanted to ask. i plan on mowing tonight, my mtd has been acting up. i'm not sure if it'll mow or not. tomorrow i plan on going to the husqvarna dealer again and to the jd dealer 1st time. the home depot yard machine for $800 is almost the same as my mtd walmart $800 mower that i've used for 7.5 years and it has been a good mower. if it does require serious repairs i think it is money spent that may not be worth it. $800 vs $1500 vs $1650 the husqvarna and john deere have to out last the yard machine for twice as many years to justify the cost. not sure what to do other than hope my mtd runs another season! :) thanks, tom

Hi, everyone. Thank you all for responding. Yep. I was thinking it may be from a root stock too. The other bush has been run over to and it's starting to grow to but it's just now a few inches tall. So I have no clue what these are. The vigorous one in picture has some good fragrance but Nothing like it use to have. It is a very pretty shade and the buds are growing along the entire stems like in pictures of a rambler. If it keeps growing at this fast of a pace I will be thrilled. I've always wanted very large bushes that are exceptionally fragrant.

I think the 44" windows sill height he is mentioning in violation note doesn't go with 312.1.2 code because this code is referring to, stairs, guard rails, and balconies. The 44" sill height goes with 310.2.2 to meet egress for rescue windows located below grade if you have a bedroom in the basement. What is the height of your window sill in question from the floor? I think he made a mistake with the code number and he meant to use 312.2.1 if your window in question has a sill less than 24" from the floor you have to provide a window with fall protection device or guard. Something like this Or this if the window is casement I would call them or better yet stop by and make sure the code violation they noted is the right one and what requirements you need to comply with. Good luck

waverly6, I have the standard configuration that comes with the Cluny 1400. Here is a picture of the top: https://www.mnbuild.com/project/old-and-new/ I am not home, so this is a picture from the build company. You may have to scroll through pictures to get to the top of the range. I have the detachable plaque on it- love that thing. I did not buy this range. The previous owners did the big renovation and made the Lacanche and the glass bump out for it a centerpiece. Left to my own devices I would have gotten induction (that is what I have in another house and I love it- though it is not nearly as beautiful to look at.) Were I to choose a Lacanche I would have made different decisions and having this particular model makes me realize my choices, which would have been more expensive, would not have been necessary at all. First I would never have left a blank area- I would have added two more hobs- in reality, I never wish I had those two extra hobs- and I entertain a lot and have four children- plus when I cook, I like to cook in large quantities. Plus my husband would have pushed for a Sully over Cluny and it turns out the Cluny ovens are indeed big enough and I love the warming cupboard. In fact, I may have gotten the Chagny for the small broiler. I hope this helps.
