What do you love or hate about your refrigerator?
Comments (6)Thanks for the comments and the link refrigeratorexpert. I don't want anything in the door but that leaves me with only a few choices if I stay under 33". I went to Best Buy tonight. They had a 32" wide Samsung single door (RB195ABWP) but it had a hinged freezer and, as I suspected, the door kept blocking the drawers from pulling out so I eliminated that one. I did see a Samsung 33" wide FD model (RF217ABWP/XAA) that wasn't bad. It didn't have the split shelves or the wide pull-out tray at the bottom like the 36" wide models. That seemed like an interesting feature. My main concern was that the door bins in the 33" FD model are only 10" wide which isn't enough to hold two gallons of milk. There's another deep shelf in there but the narrower the shelf is, the less flexibility you have in what you can fit in there. I took all the internal measurements so I could compare it to my refrigerator at home. I was surprised that the freezer drawers didn't pull out as far as I expected. It seemed like it would be tough to access stuff in the back. I think I'm leaning toward getting a 36" wide unit (even though it would mean widening our fridge bump-out) just because there are a lot more options in the 36" width. I It's not a big deal to us, but it may be a benefit when we ever sell the house. Since we're replacing the cabinets, now's the time to mess with the wall, if ever. Surprisingly the estimated yearly energy cost was only a dollar more for the 36" unit so there wasn't a significant energy benefit to the smaller one. I didn't look at the LG units because there seemed to be a lot of complaints about them here. They had a 36" GE in SS that was kind of tempting. It was marked down $300. I saw it when I first got there and didn't look at it too hard because it was a 36" unit. I should have checked it out some more but it was 9:00 by the time I got done measuring the other models....See Morewhat do you love/hate about your built-in bench with backrest??
Comments (2)When we rebuilt our deck we took out the built-in benches, because they weren't comfortable and nobody used them except an occasional visiting child. It also gives us more flexibility to rearrange the furniture. However, the VERY talented craftsman who did our rebuild showed us a built-in deck bench he had made at his own home. He took a chair that both he and his wife found to be comfortable and followed its dimensions. I believe he made a template of the back of the chair so the height and angle would be the same, and then re-created it on his built-in. They were very happy with it....See MoreTell Me about your garden. What do you love? What do you hate?

Comments (19)Hi june, I am on about 4 acres and there are woods on most sides of the property and only one neighbor on one side that I can see and its fenced there lol. So escapee passiflora and other vines aren't a problem. In fact, there are "wild /rogue" trumpet vines, japanese honeysuckle, and carolina jessamine growing all crazy out in the woods and up various trees on the back of the property. I have a lot of gulf frits so they do keep the escaped (from pots) passies under control here too. For additional control, I grow most of my passiflora in pots and use 3 tall bamboo poles tied together at the top in the large pots. Then I use fishing line and black electrical tape to create a little trellis for them to attach their tendrils onto between the bamboo poles. Then I position the pots up against a fence or tree and let them climb that way once they grow over the bamboo poles. When it freezes, I cut them back to the length of the bamboo pole/trellis and move the pots into the gh because some of the passies I grow will freeze back badly and some are tropical so gh culture during the winter is best for those. ~SJN...See Morejoaniepoanie
