Have you ever said 'I'm tired and I'm going in, just as soon ...'
Comments (15)... All the time. I never seem to know when to stop, even with hubby calling out the door "Time to come in now". When it's hot I pin a pillow slip with crushed ice in it around my neck. When it gets dark I turn on the outside lights, but try to come in by 10 PM so the lights don't bother the neighbors. I'd rather be outside than inside any ole' day and gardening gives me an excuse to be there. Incidentally, for insect bites Bob happened to notice that HEB brand antibiotic ointment has a topical pain reliever in it so it stops the itch of mosquito bites very nicely. Maybe other brands have it too. Well, almost time to put the rolls in the oven. My computer is right next to the kitchen so it's easy to take a little rest from cooking in that chair :-) Wishing you all a blessed Easter Sunday ......See MoreI'm tired of lugging buckets of fertilizer solution
Comments (11)I make a 55-gallon drum of a very concentrated fertilizer solution, then set the Dosatron at whatever dilution rate I wish to use, such as 16 to 1 ratio, 20 to 1, 30 to 1 ratio, etc. Therefore, when 20 gallons of water passes through the hose the Dosatron will precisely inject 1 gallon of the fertilizer concentrate evenly into the 20 gallons of water. It can also add acids into a water supply to adjust the correct pH to for whatever type of plant being watered. They are a little bit pricey but they are very good. A 55-gallon drum of an extra concentrated fertilizer solution put through a Dosatron can fertilize a lot, I mean a LOT, of plants before another drum of concentrate needs to me made. All fertilizing/watering done simply and quickly just holding a hose....See MoreI'M TIRED OF RESEARCHING RANGES!
Comments (39)To each of you who have commented on this post, I want to thank you. It's been a week since asking the Houzz community what your thoughts, opinions, and preferences were, and you all had truly valuable input. Now that my company has gone, I can get back to becoming an informed consumer. After reading everyone's comments up to this point, here are my thoughts: I agree that there is simply too much differing information on the Internet and that I need to go in to a showroom (or two) with a few pots and pans I use daily and pretend to cook. My first choice would be to do a double wall oven, but though I may be able to do just that, I also would lose valuable real estate, which is why I was mostly decided on a range. I kinda do agree with Jerry when he said that appliances that do more than one function, only do one of them well, so by separating them, you can get the best of each. BTW Jerry, thanks for the pics - I love your Blue Star Wall Oven! Again, I need to go to showrooms, and research there. To those of you who loved their particular range, I have made a list and plan to compare in the showrooms. I do love the browning, faster and more even cooking that a convection oven allows; however, as I often cover food with foil when baking or broiling, I will look in to ovens that can do both. At this moment, I'm on the fence about an induction cook top. Though the greater majority of you preferred it, it rather sounded like a PITA getting the settings just right, and the fact that I'd have to additionally purchase a whole new set of cookware is a negative. Though gas is not nearly as clean or fast as induction, I kinda like being able to see how high or low the flame is - but don't get me wrong, I'm still undecided between the two. I'll make my decision in the showroom! Many of you brought up valuable points to consider that I would never have thought of. This post has been more help to me than all the hours of research on a gazillion sites. Thank you all!...See MoreI’m tired of jacking with the dryer vent duct. Any suggestions?
Comments (7)Use solid 4" round sheetmetal (not the thin aluminum ducts in the dryer section of the big box store - use the >=30ga sheetmetal in the HVAC section) from the ceiling to somewhere that can be accessible - it looks like only 2 bends. You can use hangers/straps screwed into the CMU wall (2 hole metal straps found in Plumbing section of big box with Trax screws into mortar joints, and/or plastic strap to hang from joists,). You should route around the electrical panel, not in front of it. There needs to be a clear space and move your dryer if you have to: The transition duct from the dryer to the permanent duct can be flex up to 8' long - the rigid flex is better than the vinyl or foil. They have plastic connection kits, but it looks like it should be easy enough in an open basement to rotate the dryer to put it on, then rotate it back and connect to your permanent exhaust....See Morekitchenkelly
