Dorothy your weather is even worse then ours. Even thou I had to move everything in the shed again too. Then I just covered some seedlings popping out of the ground, canna's and other newly sprouted perennials up with pots and milk jugs. Even the Dats are growing along with some brugs I had left in the ground. Gross my fingers for ALL of us that have bad weather again after thinking we had spring already. Man were we dreaming or what lol. The wind is here SO bad that it had knicked off lots and lots of leaves from the Candida double white huge brug on the patio. Is back inside again. I should have left it outside and rather loose some leaves then limbs lol. DH would not listen that he has to watch it too when we carried it in and so it went :-( Eloise you know if YOU come and say you got to move it in, then the weather really goes downhill for the whole world. I mean someone got to get a headstart with the angel babies right! You know I have talked to many folks and many have lost lots of cuttings. I am with you. The best success rate of rooting and growing a cutting into a brug plant was when I let a side shoot or what have you grow out long enought to make a cutting out of it and pot it up in the summer, put it in a pot in a shady place and voila...Success!! Barb yes it is a pretty one but you know that one has shown the slowest growth from the 5 I have. Oh gosh not long and that number will be up to 15 lol Lucy

You'll be happy with the bosch. Just register your miele online and you'll be fine as long as you buy it from an authorized dealer. I think they really are trying to curtail grey market sales more than they are trying to extort install. The tracking is done by serial #, and as long as that matches a unit sold through one of their retailers within a certain timeframe the truck will roll. Say you live in a remote area that has no authorized installers ? Then what ? Think Miele would rather sell you a DW from an online retailer like AJ Madison and have them deliver it to you than to have you buy a Bosch or Kitchenaid ? They aren't going to require you to fly in an installer for a warranty !

The only part I was wrong about was the length of the guarantee, it is 90 days not 30. My local dealer said they honor this warranty as well (American TV) and the salesman said I could return for full refund within 30 days (maybe this is their store policy. He did say they only offer this on Miele) From: http://www.mieleusa.com/usa/laundry/qc_guaranteed.asp?cat=4 90-Day QC Money Back Guarantee HoneycombTM laundry In the age of marketing hype and advertising fluff, we understand that customers need true assurances that they are making a wise purchasing decision using facts and not ad agency jargon.

Lucky you. :). You can paint whatever color you like, do you have a favorite color? I can’t help with the table, but do some research on Chairish or 1stdibs and see what they are going for there. The style you like is mid-century modern, very popular right now. West Elm has a lot of furniture in that style. Pictures will help. Make sure you measure your space before buying anything (including doors and any places with tight turns).
