rachel77 - yes I've never had much luck with getting another season out of bulbs planted in containers. Usually the flowers are much smaller and fewer in number next year even if I've treated them with the best care. I agree with Patwood to get new ones. For future reference if you plant daffodils in the ground these will spread and continue to flower year after year. You do have to keep the foliage on the plants until it completely browns so the daffodils can build up energy for next years blossums. Then add a little bulb fertilizer. As an added bonus the deer don't usually eat them and squirrels/chipmunks don't dig them up. They are great for naturalizing areas where you can keep the foliage on until it browns.

Aspergersgamer, When I was growing up on a farm, we grew tomatoes in our garden and deadly nightshade was a fairly common weed in a nearby field. I was concerned at the time that bees might cross the two and produce tomatoes whose hybrid seeds might be toxic. None of us died from eating our tomatoes, but I certainly wouldn't deliberately cross the two. Ironically, there was a time over a hundred years ago when tomatoes themselves were thought to be poisonous. If memory serves, tomatoes were referred to as "love apples." MM

I think what hollysprings is saying is that since you're going to all of the time, trouble and expense of replacing the old tub and shower with a new shower, that trying to save money by reusing the existing valve (which is the "heart" of the system) might end up being a case of being penny-wise and pound-foolish. Better to replace the old valve (more likely to fail) with a new one (less likely to fail) since you have the wall open and easy access.

The description says the genset has a 120v recept that can deliver 50 amps (I'll bet its duplex recpt isn't rated for more than 20 amps, but that's another issue). Sounds like the 120/240 switch parallels the armature windings, reversing one, into the 120v output. So you want the 240v position for running the house. I hope you don't have anybody in your house who would die without power, such as a person who needs oxygen from a concentrator. That doesn't look like a very high quality genset, and I'd wonder about its long term reliability. Dunno about the genset and the TV. The safe answer would be just to not use it (the television set, I mean). I can't imagine burning up $expensive$ gasoline just to watch televison on a big screen set anyway. I don't expect to have all the usual comforts when the power goes off; I'm OK with heat, a working fridge, and a few lights. Different priorities, I guess. ;-)
