Donna, J, hi and thanks! :D Well, the snow is melting right now and the roads are very slippery at the moment... J, thanks! I've needed to find a way to photograph inside the house during these winter months. My favourite spot would be in one of the upstairs rooms but it's not available at the moment, it's under construction so to speak, for how long no one knows, not even hubby... The plants are simply placed against a white wall, but the light has to be good, otherwise it won't work, at least not for me.

If you have 35 buds that far north, it is a great daylily. I've always loved yellows with dark eyes. Looks like a winner! Debra

Sorry, this is not the typical legal description of owning property with a spouse or friend or relative. TIC (Tenant In Common) is an investment vehicle...a long story but esentially for people who own investment property and want to do 1031 exchanges. I am into them and would like to meet others who are. They are new in the last 4 yrs. so most investors, accountants and lawyers have never dealt with them. If there was a TIC investor on this site, they would know exactly what they are.

We lose samples all the time with people who've borrowed and never returned. Many times, tile samples are given pretty freely from the tile vendors, but samples of countertops and cabinets chips, those cost quite a bit of money. Those should be returned to the cabinet shop, if possible. I like how The Tile Shop does it. You pay for your sample. Per the SF... if your tile is a 12 x 12 and it's 3.50/sf, you pay 3.50. Bring it back in good condition, you get your money back. Smart. We are not set up that way, though. It isn't so bad for the customers who then buy with us and pay 20,000 for a remodel. But those who are just looking and take stuff with them to never return, that adds up.
