Is anyone else frustrated with Bobo hydrangea?
Comments (63)Bellarosa, yes, so far am liking the bit of bloom I've gotten from 'QFF', still hasn't grown much and think come next spring I'll carefully do some soil amending around it. The bloom quality holds better than 'Firelight' for those had rather quickly gone spotted and ugly and never did color up as I've seen in photos and videos, maybe it just does not like my far north location. I don't know if the low humidity here might also play a factor that the flowers just didn't age well, but I'll take low humidity any day, it makes being outside and working under the sun ever so much more enjoyable and comfortable! :) ... on the other hand, the arborescence types don't seem to have any bloom issues....See MoreKitchen saga continues, on and on and on (frustrated gripe)
Comments (20)The casing should come to the floor, not the baseboard notched under the casing. Correct me if I’m wrong but it looks to me like neither was removed, just shoe molding set on the new floor. They shouldn’t have left it like this, but they also should have included it in the estimate as part of the job. If the casing is the standard stuff that’s readily available and you have access to a miter saw, one option could be to buy a length, cut short filler pieces, glue them in place and paint. With a careful hand and a bit of patience you should be able to make these virtually disappear. I would NOT try to extend the shoe molding; that’d look goofy....See MoreKitchen Renovations - Layout Frustrations
Comments (10)best to show the ENTIRE first floor.....what is on the other side of living room wall? I cant imagine that 10 by 13 area is the original living room w full height windows and door...where would you place furniture...maybe a sitting area ? .....the center space with the door and windows that you call breakfast area....consider changing windows to wrap kitchen thru there and remove that door too. Then you have better options. but you have to look at the entire first floor... When coming in from garage.....I like to see a small contained area for drop zone/ hooks or cubby holes / bench/ etc which makes kitchen segregated , at least somewhat, from that part of daily flow.. which can be commotion filled / messy at times. You state you wish to avoid " big structural changes " ..better define that because I do think the space needs help...You can live with it for a while/ its a working kitchen .....you'll discover things by using the space....See MoreCanless led light frustration. Please help!
Comments (2)"Our lights are wired in and have a 4” hole...Can anyone tell me what I need to look for in order to replace these lights without cutting all new holes?" I would buy 4" canless, dimmable, regressed LED recessed lights such as one of these: Halo RL4LS9FSD2W1EWHDM Maxxima MRL-S41503 Commercial Electric 92337 Maxxima MRL-S41503S or MRL-S41503SBW These are all canless so they do not require housings to be installed in the ceiling. They will fit in the existing 4" ceiling holes. The lenses are regressed which means that they sit above the plane of the ceiling thereby reducing glare -- unlike the one shown in your second photo. All have selectable color temperatures. Be sure to control the lights with dimmers such as the Lutron LED+ dimmers....See More- 11 years ago
