"dcarch, Thanks for the information I'll fool around a bit more with LEDs in the future as I have an outdoor LED Christmas tree Janie is discarding after this season. " * Out door Christmas LED lights has in-line resistors which may not be the correct OHMs. It's worth playing with. "The circuit I used for this sculpture was from a set of discarded (broken) rechargeable solar pathway lights. The original assembly used a solar cell to recharge a single AA rechargeable lithium battery." *1.5V cannot normally fire up an LED. So there may be driver electronics to raise the voltage. "so I tried a 9 volt battery the result was both immediate and disasterous as it fried one component on the board. " *Never do that. Anything much more than around 3.6V will instantly fry an LED. Also be careful with polarity. Reverse polarity can also burn up an LED. If you look inside an LED with a magnifying glass, the side connected to the component inside that looks like a dish is the negative. With a new LED, the longer leg is the positive. " Although I still find the basic theory still applies I put my old electronics background behind me years ago right after the vacuum tube disappeared and when I had to hard wire changes to alter a computer's program. " * For your information, that's not too long ago. "All that aside, thanks for your input you might have rekindled an interest I left smoldering for a many of years. " *Not smoldering, soldering :-) dcarch

A long time member of the forum changed her name a few years ago, and the system automatically changed her date. She was one of our earliest members, and enjoyed having the earlier date on her profile. Much has changed since that, and I don't know if the system does that anymore. Sammy

Yo! it's me, Tin :) (let's leave the age alone) At this time last year, i'd made my first post in this forum. I first got interested in hot pepper when i read an article naming the "top 10 hottest chile". after that, i'd GOOGLE around and ended here in GW, (not this Chile forum but the regular Seed Exchange forum) Didn't have much seed to trade except maybe a couple of varieties, I ran into cmpman1974 in that forum, traded, and also i've done alot of SASE. (ppl always gave me more then i needed, Great ppl) and someone pointed me straight to this forum, which i didn't know and ran into 'mister al' who gave me my first Red Savina (Thanks) and many other ppl also contributed and ideas and info too. I've planted so many kind and type that i've totally forgot the name of it! after my first harvest, Katrina and Rita took every single plant away. Thanks to Bonnie, cmpman1974,(Chris)George and John i'm germinating thier chile seeds to start my 2nd year chilehead vet. "Thanks Guys!" Great place, forum and Great People! NEXT! Tin

You mean it'll be a pony wall at the R end of the FP? The prep sink would work there on the kit side. From Sena's LO there'd be about 4' of prep space between it and the stove. I'd still use a shallow pantry on the wall of the laundry room at the end. (that'd also eliminate the deep lower corner cabinet area problem) I'd put in an EZreach upper cab on that corner to butt up to the shallow pantry. uppers usually run about 15" deep, don't they? I'd want a long area of prep space on the other side too instead of a deep pantry. Having the window side not so deep by the door and shallow on the stove side would make it more open at the doorway. Easier to see little ones coming in too. Having a prep area on both sides would be great when you have help in the kitchen by family/friends. On the window side, how about the fridge next to the dw? You could even move the sink/dw to the L maybe another foot - that'd give maybe 3' or so to the R of the fridge for the desk area. (before the doorway to the sunroom) Try putting this in the layout/or 3d pic and post here so we can see how it looks. I like the idea of the 6' between counters when a number of people will be working in that area - and possibly someone going out or coming in that laundry area door. Less congestion. The wall ovens - those are good for those who have problems bending down to the oven on a stove. Really tall people, those with a bad back... or those who often use oven and stove top at the same time. Many don't like standing at the stove top with the heat of the oven so close to them. I'd love to have one but I so seldom use the oven, it doesn't seem worth it for me. I probably don't use the oven 2x a month. Maybe once a month. btw, I tried bolding my '2x a month' above and it did. I didn't hit submit tho, so maybe it would bonk me if I did that. Or maybe it is the phone or just when editing a post? I'm gonna go ahead and click on submit so we'll know. Saving my post first tho...
