Oh before forget there is black stain at bottom of toilet bowl ... I noticed simlar at local Farm store ladies public restroom toilets lastyear when we first moved here. They look like store replaced with new toilets since... I dont wanna be witch either Only results I can find are a bottom ofthis post Please.... vegetables I eat fresh every day...... All the stuff even organic ( store bought.....WHICH i BUY) and grow some myself... store bought long stay on shelf which preversatives added....have no nutrients unless you grow them yourself and eat right away..... How many big farmers use crop rotation??? the minerals are depleted from the soil. I am not trying to be a witch either(LOL) I do appreciate your knowledge and help , thank you I read this years ago...... well back to the subject of filters> Can a filter be oversized? we just are using the Hd350a model Hubby just completed installing the 2 units. One with the 50 polymicron sediment filter and the other with the poly outside carbon inner 25 micron filter unit Missed out on the state testing.... Sure did not see it posted in local paper, which we subscribe too. ...... I am madder, than heck about that. I called around all over here and tried to find testing other than the next county which tested only for bacteria. This area used to be a whole lot more rural... but everyday I see farmers selling off their land in auctions. they are also dying off. so the subdivided farms down the road are yuppy grass covered...... most are on "CITY CHLORINATED , chlorormFLORUDATED TO DEATH...... they can keep that cause I am a big water drinker...my favorite beverage.... We took our water sample hurriedly to be tested driving the distance last spring.... Gentleman , really nice guy, show my Hubby around the lab.....He said it was in the acceptacle range...... I know,that can change day to day,,,,just common sense Did find one in big city (an independent lab) they wanted a lot for each test.... still have the kit..... Mailed in one too(big national company) the results came back..... guy recommended reverse osmosis for drinking and a softener....... Berkey is my countertop system..... The one, whole house filter,had one temporarily on just the wash machine line for 2 weeks. I was tired of going to the laundromat.... for almost a year.... also still have one the nice carbon shower filter... Hubby took off that whole filter and housing and took a magnet to it.... he got some rust off He than placed that two week old filter cartridge and unit as the 2nd of the two units..... side by side int he crawlspace right after the water from the pump enters the house.... I guess that is normal... the rust that is,, and some sediment We do not know the age of the well etc... so far just two kitchen type sinks, one lavatory and one toilet.l..and a shower. and a portable old dishwasher.... Just the two of us i wash clothes..a lot cause I am a gardener and DIYselfer I will definitely, change that sediment first filter more than recommended and the carbon one more than rec, ,too.... so so far does that sound good??? results of tests, . but I do remember that hardness was high also we had someone testfor floride I believe it said acceptable hardness 12.86 gpg ph 7.54 iron 0.00 ppmas fe maganese..03 tannin 0 ppm sodium salt 215 tds 435 as Ca Co3 turbidity 0 NTU UNITS as amt visible color 0 units sus matter 0 as detected in sample Iron bacteria 0 as detected visually odor 0 as detected in sample Thanks so much Jean This post was edited by jeanwedding on Wed, Mar 20, 13 at 22:24

well I know I have to live with my decisions, just wondering if I had made a mistake on the oven from other poster's reviews. Thank you for your advice.

Thank you for the color suggestions! All the walls in my house are the same light color and my living room has several different grays. Therefore, I'm trying to avoid gray, beige or white kitchen cabinets. There really is not much color overall in my house. I was trying to go bold but tasteful and semi contemporary with the kitchen. I'll really have to focus on the showrooms and colors I see in person as I continue with designers. Even though all the colors I see online look great I think they will just mislead me.

It's up to you whether you need window treatments. As Rachel says, there don't seem to be any privacy issues, and I'm not sure if you need light control. But window treatments do more than that. They provide softness and an opportunity for color and pattern in a room. They also deal with the nighttime problem of windows looking like "black holes." I always opt for some sort of window dressing in all my work. Sheer fabric shades (like Hunter-Douglas Silhouettes) on your windows would look nice, or perhaps simple Roman shades. Silhouettes:
