Coreopsis sunray and tequilla sunrise - is this normal?
Comments (2)I've been watering mine twice a day because they were bone dry like everything else in the recent extreme heat. I checked down 2 inches to make sure they were really dry and not just surface dry. Should I let the deeper soil get dry around them? They're new plants and I thought I had to baby them with watering their first year. I read they're supposed to be clay busters so that's a big plus....See MoreWhere my Mantis shines.
Comments (5)Dawn, does you Mantis have a Honda engine on it? Mine does not and is a little hard to start. It has the Faststart system on it but still requires a lot of cranking. I have problems with my right hip, right shoulder and my back. Cranking any type of engine is a little tough for me to do. Even though my Troy Bilt has electric start it is much harder to use. The Poulan Pro starts much easier than my other two tillers. I even used the Poulan to drag things around that I could not lift, before I bought the riding mower. The Poulan clutch can be operated with one finger on either hand ( I have the throttle wired at full throttle). The Mantis works better if moved back and forth, or pulled backwards, both which are harder for me to do. The bouncing also hurts my back and shoulder. With the Poulan I can just slip the transmission into forward, till or reverse and squeeze the handle and follow it, or walk along beside it if I choose. I most often follow it and hold on because it is sort of like holding onto a powered walker. it give me much more stability when walking in the loose soil. I can also push soil from one area to another with out bending over. All of my three tillers are good tillers, I can just get so much more done with the poulan, and with much less effort. To till in okra stalks or corn stalks requires the Troy Bilt. Larry...See MoreISO sconces that shine both up and down
Comments (10)Thank you all SO MUCH for posting all these great lamps! I love them all! I can see I have some research to do. And now I have several places to look. :) I'll talk to DH about putting track lighting along the beam. I know he's often said he wants to put track lighting in our living room area, but there are "issues." Adding lighting is an ongoing problem with this house. The exterior walls are log and can't be "opened up" to add fixtures or outlets, so we have to work with what's already here. Same thing with the interior walls--they're all wood paneling, making it difficult to repair the wall if we want to move a light fixture. (We can't just add a patch of drywall and paint over it.) The ceilings are also wood (the ceilings are actually the floor of the second story of the house). So if we put track lighting or anything else with a wire on the ceiling, we have to cover the wire with a strip of wood trim. I'll post photos when we get the new sconces. Thanks again!...See MoreShine a Light, Won't You Shine a Light
Comments (26)Thanks for the explanation. I cannot get to my fixture easily. My ceilings are 12 feet and we do not have a sufficient ladder to reach. If work has to be done higher than 7-8 feet, we hire someone to come do it. I bought an LED flood light at HD this afternoon. It is 1600 lumens. I have BRIGHTNESS!!! As in, don't look at the light, it will blind you!!! The only problem is it is 5000k, which means it is very very blue. The guy who helped me said HD has a 90 return policy for any reason. I'm going to see if I can live with it. I only use that light for a few minutes from time to time. It is on a separate switch and doesn't come on with the other kitchen lights. If the blueness drives me nuts, I'll take it back. If I had thought ahead while we were building, LED bars or tape under the overhang would have been perfect. They may still work, but I'll have to think about where to drill a hole to get the wires to the driver. I don't want to drill a hole in my granite. I had the bathroom wired to put LED lights in the toe-kick area to use as a night light. Another deferred project!...See Morejuanital
