Funny you should mention that Awbury job Pam . . . I'm stuck at my desk today applying for it!! Among other things. Thanks for cheering me up, it is oddly comforting to know that some others are suffering too. I'm sure some people do not even care if they ever get outside, like my neighbor, who practically RUNS from the garage to his back door when he gets home from work. Pretty soon it will be too hot to go outside except in the early morning and late evening. That's why I plant mostly white flowers in my garden. I did go outside last night and pick a few berries, and eat a few. Sadly, the ones I picked earlier in the week molded in the refrigerator. I was saving them for the torte, which I might as well give up on. When I planted those few bushes, I just intended it to be for the pleasure of harvesting a few raspberries to eat fresh. But foodie/harvester me can't stop there. No, I have to try and get more and more berries, and do more and more with them. I realized this morning I should have been freezing them as I go. They are just so yummy fresh!! And oddly enough, when they aren't giving off berries, I curse those bushes and am always one step away from shovel pruning them. Maybe they sense that every year and that's what keeps them cranking out the berries. I dream of being able to sit on my patio just for a few minutes of R&R. I can't do that now, because there is so much dissaray in the yard if I'm out there for any length of time I start a project, time I can ill afford away from my ball and chain . . . I mean desk and computer. I am always thankful for work, but since none of it is steady it doesn't seem like I'm getting anywhere. And if my whole life gets played out in front of a computer screen, am I really living? Humans are not really designed for this life is what I think. Although some people, like my brother, for example, don't mind at all and can happily do nothing but interact with the computer screen. When he's not doing that he's interacting with a piano. He is more than happy to stick to inanimate objects, lol!

Hi there, We are in the process of doing our basement and our color choices are very similair to yours. One of the rooms which is my older sons room we painted "Tuscan Hills" I believe it is Behr or CIL and it is a beautiful basement green a little on the olivey side but it turned out really nice and with our main living area down there on the began/tan side I find the colors flow nice.

You can either cut it off flush, or you can buy the right size of internal PVC pipe cutter and cut it off a bit below the concrete level. When you’re done, buy an expanding PVC plug for less than 10 bucks, insert it in the stub, and tighten. Place a square of heavy gauge flashing on top of the hole to provide a flush surface that you can lay carpet over.
