Tall-l-l-l Seedlings

Here's your picture: Like I said, the third url down under the photo that is labeled HTML Code - just C&P it in your post. This is just one lamp fixture per shelf, correct? And it is way to far above the center seedlings because of the high cups on the end. That's why the seedlings are getting leggy reaching for the light. You can either cut those cups down (they don't need to be nearly that big for such small seedlings. Or group them all at one end and tilt the fixture so that it is much closer to the low ones. Not ideal but will help some. But for all those seedlings you really need 2 fixtures hung side to side, right next to each other with the plants centered under them. The light at the ends of the tubes is 1/2 what it is in the center. It also allows you to adjust their height individually as needed. How old are the bulbs? They lose power over a season so fresh ones each year make a big difference. Hope this helps some. Dave

Thank you. The hood is the P26 Modern Aire, the stove is my baby--1936 Chambers C (I love cooking on it!). The base cabinet you see is the color that the few cabinet pieces I will have and my shelves will be painted--BM mayonaise. My DH and aunt think I need to paint that cabinet next to the stove something other than white to make the stove totally be the center piece. I could do the same paint/glazing treatment as on the spice cabinet but I kind of like that piece standing out as its own rather than as a "set" upper and lower, plus I don't think I mind it as white. Any thoughts or suggestions would be more than welcome!

I don't know where you live, RN...but believe it or not...this frigid weather the country has been having is to blame for much of the current slowdown. It's been driving me slightly bonkers for the past week or so. On the rare occasion that we have a warmer day...my usual speed returns. When it first occurred...I did as you did. Ran all the usual checks on my system and found nothing amiss. Then I did some further investigation which led to the info regarding freezing weather and the internet pipeline. So...if your system remains in top notch condition...with no beasties sneaking in a back door...sit tight. Once this blast of polar air is gone...the slowness problem should go with it.

Layout/Flow advice: Broken L or L Shaped Kitchen with Island
Q
Comments (13)
I would not close off the current entrance. There have been many threads on this forum from people trying to figure out what to do with their corners. If you decide to go with the 'L', I would not angle anything in the corner, as it is a huge waste of space. I think that the 'L' also makes the kitchen look smaller than it really is with the tall items crowding the range. I like the entrance there as it allows the kitchen to breathe. Functionally, I think it makes more sense to 'zone' your kitchen and put food storage together on the shorter wall to the right of your entrance. I would flank the refrigerator with pantries or pullouts and place a MW drawer across the aisle on the short end of island. Although it sounds like a great idea to have the frig near the dining space, it is not necessary. I had that in my previous kitchen, and there was just too much going on in the same space with my cooktop. Snackers can then get to the refrigerator and MW without traipsing through your cooking zone. It's also less steps when putting groceries away. I would use a range and as many drawers as possible on the long wall for all of your cooking needs. By eliminating the refrigerator and double ovens you would have a very spacious look and a tremendous amount of storage and prep space. Dirty plates will be coming from your dining space, so I like the DW on that end of the island, with dish and cutlery storage either across from or next to the DW, making it easy for someone to set the table without getting in your way at the range. I would also extend the island and make it as long as the range wall.

Without a doubt, most of you will laugh at me, but for me, "L" is for "LOVE".

I first me Jan 35 years ago. At the time I was a long haul truck driver typically staying out on the road 3 to 4 months at a time. I rented a room in her house basically just to have a place to call home on those brief intervals when I would come in for a week or so. For the 35 years that followed Jan and I remained the best of friends, although it seems that when she was single I was involved with someone and vice versa.

About a year ago we realized that we were both retired and single so we began chatting regularly on the phone, she being in Massachusetts and I in Ohio. One thing led to another and on the 11th of August I moved back to Massachusetts and Jan and I are now living together.

Although I was seriously into photography as a semi pro in my youth I had gotten away from it until I retired two years ago when I once again took it up as my retirement hobby. Since then I have adopted a lifestyle which is aptly described by the Australian's as going on "Walkabout" where one heads out to explore his or her surroundings with no intended destination or time to return. It may be just a day trip or it could result in weeks or months before you return home.

I carry two Pentax DSLR's and a small assortment of lenses and accessories. Since we got together Jan has taken up the 2nd camera and is now a serious student of photography and both being on retirement we are free to go on walkabouts together whenever and wherever the spirit may move us.

Here is a picture of she and I reminiscing at Five Mile Pond, Springfield, Mass, a place were she and I once spent a romantic afternoon on the beach 35 yrs ago.
