Both of my maples are fairly young, probably 5-6 years old, 3-4 years at the nursery and 2 years in a ground. In full sun plus reflected light off the house, 'Mushroom' form is usualy formed by removing single leader at the crotch, though sometimes leader just aborted naturaly or never develops (that is why you see more 'mushrooms' than 'trees'). Eventual (approximate) height of the 'mushroom' determined by the height where the leader was cut off. Very open bright shade, In a fall both of them will have a same color, identical to this one. 15 years old Inaba Shidare from the neighbor's yard in a fall, One more time, before you spend big bucks at the nursery, check HD or Lowes, at this time of the year they should still have them. At least mine does and prices are in $59-129 range depending on a size. In a fall they will be in stores again. Good luck.

Want a terrible truth? Unless you are buying something made in North Carolina? Rest assured it is most likely junk. Can you get lucky? Sometimes. ...................But the onus here, is on Sticklley. They never INSPECTED before they loaded that on a truck? To deliver to you? I'd make Stickley take the mirror back too. Stickley aws the agent, and should have refused the Lexington well before delivery to you. As to the real issue? The blame is shared by everyone , folks. That is what is sad. You want cheap, fast , and no hard feelings if you toss it in five years or less? That's what sent production to China, Vietnam, . Want a dresser? Go to the consignment shop.........paint the "brown thing". Consignment stores are loaded with "brown" furniture. Second truth is value/quality has nothing to do with a price tag. In this case ? None of either. At the rate we're going, the landfills will be FULL. and only those in the stratosphere will be able to have anything of quality. Nor will most of them care. ........read the beginning again lol

I've been walking. I also have been doing my normal gym floor work and stretching in the living room. Body weight squats and lunges. Push-ups. Kettlebell swings (with a dumbbell, because I don't actually own a kettlebell). And I broke out my stepladder to do step-ups. I have some resistance bands that I haven't broken out yet but was thinking this morning that I should for rows and the like. But I haven't been working out as often as I should (that was also a problem when I was going to the gym...). I always intend to take a walk every day, but I'm fortunate enough to still have a full-time job working from home, and cooking and cleaning are taking up way more of my time than normal. So the days have been getting away from me. I need the structure, though, and the exercise, and the change of scenery.

Hi Everyone, I have been meaning to follow up on this thead. As I mentioned above I ended up replacing the valve on the "worst" burner. It was clear the valve removed was of lesser quality. The one I replaced actually leaked when the burner was off due to the valve not working properly. The new replacement was brass and the faulty one coming out was of another metal that looked like aluminum. Has Wolf ever taken responsibility for what I see as a cost cutting move that bit them in the butt? My Oven was purchaed in 2017. I just gave up and have been living with the burner knobs that move themselves until they warm up. Except of course for the replacement valve I did myself. I am planning on replacing the rest soon. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a clear admission by Wolf and possible recall at no cost.
