Howdy Folks!

Any of the old regulars still around? I have been busy starting another company (or two) and haven't had much time for the yard or posting. Time to get back into repairing my landscape.

Hey! I've lurked a bit, but haven't posted in quite a while. I was wondering if any of the regulars were still around! I'm mostly tired of my yard (and house) and want to move. We need to fix everything first, though.

Hi Pam, I too used to be a regular and the life got crazy. It has been years since I have been on the forum. But when houzz bought this site it reminded me how much I loved it. It also came at a time when I have a new yard to landscape. Whoo hoo!

Good morning, all. Cheery photo for such a cold day. It is exceptionally cold here. Poor DH is out in the cold wind wrapping pipes and putting the Christmas lights back out to warm the plants. The large yellow noid is about to bloom inside, I will definitely show that when (if) it happens.

Anyone with software to read CAD files?
Q
Comments (9)
You can open CAD files with Draftsight , which is free for casual (i.e., non-professional) users. I think they used to be SolidWorks. You can open AutoCAD files with this program, and it has tools that are very similar to AutoCAD. I know that with AutoCAD you can select areas with an outline and have the area computed for you, and I imagine that Draftsight would do the same.

Stumped on light fixtures

Hi Jenna! We would love to work on some custom fixtures for you. Over the counter would be great to do a suspended on a rod fixture with two or three globes. Those globes should translate/ compliment the fixture over the table. For the entry way, you could do just about anything. Do you have any furniture there? Please find some images below of previous spaces we've worked on with multiple fixtures in one space.

You know what? If you put your question on one of those old threads the people that posted on it will receive it and maybe will reply with some updates. Unfortunately, these forums are not as active as they used to be so not sure the people with experience have seen your query. Here's one of them: Any luck with goldenball leadtree in north Texas?

I'm still here, too. Not much posting, tho. Every year at about this time I wonder if a spring trade will be planned but it seems that everyone must be busy with other things or already have more plants than they can deal with.

Hi Pam, Thank you for your comment on me needing help in southern IL. I only made it here with all my daylilies, my sheffield mum, and 1 of my true geraniums.

botanicat, I was trying to find out about a trade or plant sale. I am here in no mans land, and need some plant starts. I have one last appt with my neurosurgeon in Atlanta, and I would be happy to come to anyone's yard and help "thin" a few things. There are quite few plant that I got from swaps that I loved so mucch and was not able to bring even a piece of. I potted up al my daylilies las summer, but moved in the freezing middle of winter. I have been checking to see what will grow here, and am so sad I could not bring starts of my favorite shrubs, etc. i will try to find a sale and make my appt around that time and let anyone know when. thanks. Lorinda

Hi! I haven't been on in awhile either but did get two a couple of swaps a few years ago and loved it and getting to meet everyone. It would be great to do it again sometime!

When are you going to be here, gardenhag (I hate calling you a hag, but I don't remember your name! I'm sorry!) I have a few things I can give away.

I used to be somewhat regular on here. I went to a few plant trades back at girlgroupgirl's house.
