How to get Clematis to grow up lamp post?
Comments (7)You might want to consider the pruning requirements of the specific clematis. I have a Jackmanii clematis growing up my porch post and it's a group 3 for pruning. Since I have to cut it down to 12 inches in the late winter/early spring I have it growing up twine. I figure the support only needs to last the season and cutting it down is that much easier without having the clematis all tangled around something more permanent. And most of the more permanent solutions can be a little unsightly. If it's a group 1 which requires minimal pruning, I'd go with something more substantial, etc. Just a few thoughts.

Comments (2)Measure your sink base. Most often, if you have a double sink already, you'll have a 36" sink base. A 36" sink base can fit a standard 33" sized sink in it. There are a huge variety of 33" sinks available from large single bowl to a tiny/huge offset double. Faucets with slender bases have a greater chance of having the proper clearance. Different fabricators have different comfort levels as to how much material they're willing to leave in front and back, because it depends on the granite you pick out. Some granites are stronger than others and some fabricators rod the granite at the sink no matter what. This is a conversation to have with your particular fabricator before choosing your granite. Using the same 3 cm granite as a backsplash can make it very crowded even with a faucet that doesn't initially seem to be too wide. A flat deck countertop and a separate backsplash out of a thinner material like tile usually has the greatest chance of fitting the widest variety of faucets....See Morepalimpsest
