Need low budget tips for quick garden/grass
Comments (11):) shade is not a bad thing in the summer time- especially not in georgia! and honestly- many of my favorite plants like the shade. the cypresses are beautiful trees- but they might be safer in containers themselves- they do get big, and 13 of them is a grove suitable for a 5 acre plot, not a normal folks' house :) I like to joke that my back yard is about the size of my dad's living room- I'm exaggerating. it's maybe half that size... a 6 person table would take up the entire lawn, and the daylilies would be tickling our shoulders from the borders. so container plants for the party are perfect...you can learn to garden afterwards. the best way to learn? make friends with ever person on your street with a nice garden. offer to trade sweat for wisdom... most of us will jump at the chance for company...and send you home with cuttings suited to the area, taboot :) then, you can spend all winter reading, and drafting what you want to do with that yard...my plans will take five years to really come together, but I planned for that. and if my raised beds are edged with concrete broken in chunks from where they knocked down a building... the 6 ft section I have finished is so buried under sedums, rock cress, and lamium that you'd never know it ;)...See MoreAnti-tip/air quick: help quickly please?
Comments (6)Thank you! I thought so as well. I insisted he put it in. It tool all of 8 minutes but he was complaining it was a waste of time, and he was paid by the hour and just so long as I didn't complain about the bill... I was not really terribly happy about that. But he did do it. I felt embarrassed to insist but with your opinion I feel better. It's done anyway. Dunno, there was no qualification in the instructions about needing it only if there was no air-quick. It said always, no exceptions, etc. Well, I may have been a ditz-owner, but it's done and I appreciate knowing there's at least one other out there. Thank you tux....See MoreQuick resp needed: Should whirlpool be installed flush to wall?
Comments (2)I am dealing with the exact same situation, Sue. My contractor has said that he installs them with no space between the tub and the back wall all the time. Cleaning is my concern with that installation. It sounds like you will have a decent amount of room on the other three sides for 'breathing space' and candles, soaps, etc. I would go for the larger tub, myself. The smaller tub may actually look 'long and skinny' with that much space around it. What tub did you choose? I am actively shopping for ours right now. Sandy...See MoreHELP! Need third party opinion on measuring for granite install
Comments (7)Well, all I can say is that in those 2 pictures, the two measuring tapes aren't making a right angle. I can't tell if you mean that's what they are measuring or what you are measuring. I'd wonder if perhaps they aren't doing this in "most efficient" mode because you've got a pretty darned visible seam there, and they're trying to get it at least in the same area of granite from 2 slabs--that L of granite you show sure seems to have a lot of different colors, seems like being even remotely matching would be difficult on the seam....See Moredd70
