We are now under "Miscellany."

11 years ago

I just discovered us by accident, having searched in vain on the lists of forums. Not very flattering to be labeled "miscellaneous" but now, at least I don't have to use google to get in here to post.

Don, the 'Music Room' was like RP, an off-shoot of Garden Web. It seemed to be mainstream music plus a few 'games', not the hardware, but had recently died the death, as had the movie (Circle Theater) site; neither had any posts for months.

I saw that this morning, too. Perhaps it's a good thing to be tucked away in a remote corner of this site!

At least now I know where to find us. I was going in by Google too.

the only problem with buried rotting wood.. is that the rotting process ... requires water.. and it can cause dryness in the surrounding area.. all you need do.. is insure PROPER WATER.. which means insert finger and water when dry or hot under the mulch [which means it will soon be dry] ... water deeply.. thru the root mass .. and then dont water again until it nearly dries... now.. presuming you did not plant right next to 6 inch roots.. i really dont think that is relevant .. for the general area ... rotting can also rob the soil of nitrogen.. but again.. how close could you have planted ... if and WHEN you get a plethora of shrooms.. from the rooting process.. enjoy them for the show ... they are just part of the decomposition process ... IMHO.. in any average soil.. trees/conifers. never.. ever NEED anything ... though a little of this or that probably wont hurt ... chams in my z5.. are VERY slow.. all things considered ... and it probably has a lot to do with the frozen ground for 4 to 5 months ... ken

What a wonderfully thought out house. I like that the guest room can accommodate a health aide, in the future. Something like that can extend the amount of time one can maintain some form of relative independence in one's own home. We're also building an empty-nester house & we could have reduced the footprint of the house by putting all of the "guest" bedrooms in the lower level (unfinished, for now). However, we chose to generously size the room and include an en suite bath so that whoever may need to stay there for a more extended period than the occasional guest would be comfortable. Even if we don't have a health aide, there may come a time when one of us needs extra equipment (hospital type bed, oxygen, etc.) so it will be nice if the other can rest more comfortably in another room while still being within calling distance. Tell your kiddos, "Well done!" You have every right to be proud and thank you for sharing. Jo Ann

Should we install a shower grab bar if we don't need it now?
Q

The difficulty about a bathtub is the entry/exit. I have real problems with my knees, for example. Getting into a bathtub is hard enough, but getting out of it is a nightmare! Without a vertical grab bar - rarely found for a tub, and even more rarely in the right location, on the side where your grip is strongest (e.g., are you left-handed or right-handed?), it takes some careful maneuvering for me to get out safely. For my MIL's tub (she's 84 but in reasonably good shape for her age with only minor balance issues), I have a short bar angled slightly upwards on the long side of the tub, just where it is comfortable when you sit up straight inside the tub. Then there is a longer vertical bar she can hold onto once she is standing up, close to the towel bar (which swings for easy access; it's actually a swinging curtain bar). She says this works very well for her and she feels safe.

For our new build, the KD measured for cabinets before the drywall went in. She measured stud to stud and then just allowed for the 1/2 inch of drywall where necessary. Perfect fit. Of course, they didn't template for the counter until after the cabinets were installed. In a remodel It might be wise to wait for walls cause ya never know what might come up.

don_socal, I'm not finding a board called "Music Room". Was it just about music (meaning songs) or was it more about electronics (stereos, tvs, etc)?

I've got to keep the bookmark (which was the one I had before). If I got to www.houzz.com, it puts me to www.houzz.co.uk which has no reference anywhere to GardenWeb. Sigh.

Martin, my old Bookmark didn't bring up the Menu page as it used to. When I did find the page by Googling Houzz Readers Paradise and accessed the Menu page from that link, I Bookmarked it and deleted the old one.

You may notice that I am no longer just Annpan as someone else (who isn't me, I checked!) has that name, which may have been why I couldn't find myself and had to register with Houzz.

I can't even find Miscellany!

We are not going to get new members if no one can find us.

Rosefolly, it's under the "Home" forums, not 'other' forums. The logic escapes me, but what do I know? at least, my original RP bookmark still works for me!

Thanks, Donnamira. I can handle that. After all, I keep my books in my Home.

And - better to be Miscellaneous than Missing.
