I can only speak for Sophie's Choice, with a definite yes. You have a very good chance with that one, but to speed things along put her in a smaller container, and put a 12 or 18 inch stake in with her, because you will need it. My SC grown in a 10" diameter pot, in a south facing window and fertilized only with Shultz 7 drop houseplant food was absolutely weighed down with fruit last year. After I got tired of propping it up. I just pulled the whole plant and hung it upside down and ate the fruit as it ripened over a several week period. This freed up a spot in the windowsill garden for my next experiment in tomato torture. Stress them by putting them in too-small pots, but keep them fed, watered, and lit, and they will bloom their hearts out for you. I don't think I would put the NBD will in a 5 gallon container either. The bigger the container, the longer plants take to stretch their roots before they start to bloom profusely. Jan

Sophie is a hero in the true sense of the word. I am in awe of her parents, they have room in their hearts for other children. Re the blood, I think I read that Sophie lost twice her blood volume. Hopefully will round up a few friends to give their first donation this week and hopefully they will make it a priority to become regulars. So often these days the cupboard is low and blood has to be moved about the country.

For future project reference. I am not speaking for Sophie or anyone else, this is my opinion only. Sophie told you the same day of your post to get rid of the handyman and hire a pro. Good advice. A good qualified and experienced plumber, contractor or handyman would have never installed it that way. They would have done it the way we the ones with numerous jobs and years of experience have done. Again good advice. Others have thrown in their advice and it does not collaborate with our practice and proven technique therefore she says 'Stop Digging". Again good advice. You decided to do it your way and I wish you all the best and I don't want to spend much more time explaining the correct procedure nor what is wrong with your project. Lot of the advice given on Houzz is meant well and appreciated but did you notice that all advice by the Pro's was similar in all cases. That's because we've done this thousands of times and our advice is based on experience ad acquired knowledge. It has always been easier for to explain why we went the extra mile to do it right then explain why we did this different. One more thing for those who are about to endeavor in a project. Quality and craftsmanship is always going to be less expensive in the long run. I'm not saying you have to spend a ton of money to get it done right you just need to do it right. All the best and good luck on your next project.

There are more than 100 local custom cabinet makers in the area. Your Kitchen Designer should know at least a dozen of them. I‘m sure that one would love to pick up the project. The timeline won’t be a short one though. As far as manufactured lines, it’s only MN and PA produced lines that are currently fully shut down. Many others elsewhere are still operating, but at slower lead times and reduced capacity production. That impacts timelines as well. Picking one out of the 100’s available locally is going to be tough. You need your KD’s advice on cabinet quality, and ability of the line to achieve your design specifics. You may need to change some things there in that design in order to fit into some manufacturers capabilities. Or a specified budget. Translating a design into a line that it wasn’t designed in will take some time, experience, and a willingness to have a price increase. Timelines won’t be really known until an order is placed. Talk to your lender. They know about construction slowdowns. And budget increases. Your builder should not be forcing you into a decision because of that. Yes, you should be making a decision, but you should have at least a couple of weeks to talk over the options and decide the best approach with your Kitchen Designer. Otherwise, you might as well do an online order of IKEA, and get it rudimentarily fitted out so that everything else can move forward while you plan for a later redo. If the house would appraise for the loan amount done that way.
