I would be willing to do it - if... we have parameters. no posting to the thread - all emails to my addy ( I never understood how it was kept track of )and after your inital letter only post me about any ADDITIONAL containers sown. In the end I can post who had what..... what constitutes a container - if you have one milk jug that is a container - no matter how segmented you have made it, the exception would be flats as they are not all created equally no matter how many it holds it should be counted as 8. I have some that hold 96 individual plants but I could never bring myself to count it as 96... and for the war of zonage - pick one and put it in your location - be proud of where you are - as for when to start and stop - what is the forums dictate? as I know there are some who have been sowing since Thanksgiving ( I will not include those in my totals as these are my experiments) But the original count only included Dec 21 - May 1 I can give updates by zone weekly? if you want me to do it let me know and if there are other criteria to consider then lets add it to the mix as well. let me know

Yes. Your right. It’s mold related. But. Unfortually for many people it doesn’t go away that fast. It’s often mold and fungus that is growing through out the house. All of the wood and the dry wall is full of mold spores and fungus too. They have been breathing it in, their pets get sick too. This also comes with with parasites. This is MORGELLONS. Morgellons is REAL. It’s been mis diagnosed as a mental illness for years. DECADES. Morgellons isn’t new. It’s been found mentioned in old medical journal from the 1600s in france. It’s now thought to be related to lyme Dias ease and or the co infections seen with Lyme. BORRIELLIA BABESIA and spirochete and others. All very dangerous and take several years of antifungal and sometime doxycycline too. But antibiotics cause a whole other problem. Antifungals will treat this Our pets are also affected by this. They need to be treated with FENBENDAZOLE TOO. just like us. Once we are affected by mold, our body is open to receive all sorts of ailments. We become more susceptible. I’ve learned so much since 2012. Including what yo7 need to treat it. You need a long term ANTIFUNGAL read about the fungal infection called SPOROTRICHOSIS. morgellons and SPORO are not the same, but everything that happens with the fungus SPOROTRICHOSIS when left untreated, also happens with morgellons when left untreated. Lit can make a person very very physically Sick. It affects the brain. That’s not even including the crawling and bites and itching that keeps you awake. Morgellons is not mental illness. It is a fungus. It is not from chemtrails. It’s not from the government trying to make people sick. It’s non of those. Our earth IS sick. But thats just from supporting 9 billion people and all that does to the earth and the climate. Humidty increases and then, so does fungus and mold. We get sick. We breath it, eat it on foods, Bugs carry this fungus and pass it through bites. Our soil is infected too. . Read about SPOROTRICHOSIS. WIKI has a great write up. You can relate that to morgellons. Funny. They don’t call people with SPOROTRICHOSIS crazy. Yet morgellons is almost the same sickness. It even looks the same. Leaving scars and lesions that don’t heal right. They treat those people with antifungals. Turn as out the same antifungal that treats SPOROTRICHOSIS also treats morgellons. ITRACONAZOLE. But. Most doctors will only prescribe antipsychotic meds for morgellons. THATS OK. i am one of THOUSANDS THAT WAS HEALED USING FENBENDAZOLE. it’s another antifungal used for live stock. People have been treating with it since it came out in 1978. Especially people that raise live stock. They get it from their veterinarians. Cattle get these bites and sores too. Around their hooves and anywhere on the body. It’s also from mold and bug bites. Come to the group MOLD AND MORGELLONS SUPPORT PROTOCL in face book. You can talk to all sorts of people in either cured like me, or in various stages of healing. Those that are healed, stay to greet the new people. To help calm and explain what this is what works. And most of all, that your not crazy and you can get your life back.

Thanks everyone, your input is really, really helpful. buehl... Good to know you have no issues with interference, which is especially comforting seeing that you have a smooth top which means you are actually standing a few inches closer to the hood than I would with a pro style range that bumps out a bit. And yeah, your last bit makes perfect sense - sometimes when you are looking for something, you find something. (BTW, I love your kitchen, and I must say on behalf of the many lurkers and occasional posters on this site that the large volume of information you have posted is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much.) idrive65... So, you went a little higher at 32'' w/out problems. I like that. You have an 18'' hood that looks pretty close to what I think I will order, you have 8' ceilings...and, a Capital range and a wood floor that looks like mine! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to include a picture - because so much of what you have is close to what I'm thinking of doing, this was really helpful. You are very kind. bostonpam... OK, my rocket-science brain has struck again. I can't quite follow what you are describing. But you did make me think to shoot Surjit an e-mail to ask about any specific recommendations wrt the Capital Culinarian and upper cabinet position. My current design places upper cabinets on both the right and left side of my 30'' range, with a 36'' hood centered above the range. I think the bottom of the uppers will be about 22'' to 24'' above the counter top. I sure hope that's OK 'cause I gave the cabinet maker the go ahead a few days ago! lascatx... So you went quite a bit higher and your son finds it a tad annoying. Hmmmm...perhaps an excuse to stay out of the kitchen? ;-) I must say, I really like how you stated your height - 5'12''. LOL if that was intentional. doonie... I'm relating to what you're saying. My OTR MW is 18" above my counters, and although it is only 18'' or so deep, it sure does seem to be in the way. I took a tape measure (again) to my kitchen and see how much higher 30'' is compared to 18''. Its a lot higher. I too do not want to feel that the hood just seems to be in the way, so a few extra inches of height is something I'm looking for. sombreuil... I can certainly understand that you'd want a 27'' deep hood mounted a bit higher. holligator... With a 22'' deep hood, I suppose you have a slight bit of extra room to allow a lower position. Sounds like the more powerful motor helps you too, which is good to know. So if I combine all of this wisdom, I'm leaning toward the following (all subject to change based on what the Modern Aire dude says): - 24'' deep hood (and no shallower) - height above counter top will be somewhere around 34'' (which is within the recommended height according to the Modern Aire website). That could vary a bit to accommodate a plan to fill in the space between an 18'' tall hood and the ceiling. At that height, the bottom edge of the hood will still be a just a bit lower than the top of my head but above my eyeballs. - motor rating, probably 1000 cfm or so just to make sure the extra height is not an issue. Max output of my range will be 84,000 BTU, very doubtful all burners will be on high at the same time. Again, thank you everyone. Jon

dedtired, I was notified of the Silver Sneakers live class too, by my community center. They also pointed out that one doesn't need to be a Silver Sneakers member to participate in the Facebook Live classes. If you are a SS member or are eligible, you can register on their website too for multiple on-demand workouts. I thought DawninCal might want to check it out. I did it, and just made my moves bigger, more vigorous, and added more arm moves to get my heart rate up more. Generally I prefer to walk or run outdoors, but I do have an elliptical and hand weights. I realized that I have slacked off too much on my weight training, so I have gotten out my "The Firm" DVDs (hand weights and step box) and started doing one twice a week. With some hereditary tendencies toward back issues, and an old neck injury from work, I really need to keep my core very strong.
