Where are the average joes??
Comments (89)When it comes to the kitchen, I'm pretty fussy about the appliances and tools that will affect the outcome of my food preparation and cooking. Once it's cooked, I don't care if we eat off paper plates with plastic utensils, and in the summer, I often will mostly because I'm probably eating outdoors anyway. For stuff like microwaves (I don't do much but boil water and steam veggies with them), dishwashers, disposals, toasters, blenders and refrigerators, I share many of the sentiments found here...I'm hard pressed to understand just what I'm paying for should I opt for one of the fancier brands. I have a Blue Star range, Cooktek induction units, and Frigidare fridge and DW, the latter two needing replacement soon (next month or so at the outside). I have to say that regardless of the price, I do the research on price and quality since once I get the things, I don't want to muck around with repairs and feature-oriented surprises, such as "Oops, it doesn't have a heated drying cycle," or "Oops, I can't fit my water pitcher, iced tea pitcher and favorite beer bottles upright on three different shelves."...See MoreThink Small.

Comments (24)We have a 30' class A RV. With your space constrictions (we used to tent camp with everything in totes and coolers), I would say 1 skillet, 1 sauce pan, and a dutch oven with a lid. Lids for them all if possible. 1 flipper, 1 spatula/scraper, 1 slotted spoon, 1 solid bowl spoon. Collapsable bowls and collander. Pot holders/mits. Matches. Salt, pepper, paprika, italian seasoning, chili powder, what ever seasonings you would usually use at home. Tones makes tiny containers with a large selection of spices/seasonings for around $1, that are about the size of Annie's film cans. Portable gas grill. Dish soap, dish towels, paper towels. A friend gave me the idea of using a paper towel holder bungie corded to the awning post to have them handy outside when cooking/eating. Table ware can be stored in small plastic totes. Dish pan. That tiny sink will be a pain in the you know what to do dishes in, so take a dish pan and do them outside when possible. As to packaged food. Check the book sites for a book called Make-A-Mix. There is a volume two, I think. I have the first one. That is my where my sloppy joe recipe came from. Tastes pretty much like manwich. I leave out the green peppers and garlic, but I don't like green peppers and am allergic to the garlic. Still really good. I thing Grainlady mentioned the make a mix books in another thread. Many good recipes for mixes in there. You can use very small plastic zip bags that I find in the jewelry dept of the craft stores to store the seasoning mixes like the sloppy joe mixes in, writing the date made and any needed instructions in marker on the bag. Store a bunch of the small bags in a larger one. Tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate mixes (can find one in the make a mix book, but I have a better one. If you want it, I'll look it up and post it). A camp coffee pot works for boiling water for tea, hot chocolate, coffee, and heating water for dishes. The camp percolater, figure out how many cups it makes, add the amt of coffee you like for that amount of water, and after it starts to perk, time it for 8 minutes. If you want it stronger, go 9, no more than 10 minutes or it gets bitter. And it takes up less space than a counter top coffee maker. We use more paper plates and plastic silver ware than use regular, but your choice. Cereal bowls. Sugar, flour, cornmeal, all in small amts, in airtight containers. If it's airtight, you can leave it there all season, same with the spices. I don't even take the jars of flour and stuff like that out in the winter. Instant rice. dcarch, we have the E2000 generator, and it weighs lots more than the one you have listed. It is very quiet, tho. It would store great on the grate in the hitch, too! So would a portable gas grill. If you want the hot chocolate recipe, and don't get a reply here in this post, email me thru my page, incase I forget to check the thread! I'm getting forgetful! Tami...See MoreUh oh! New roof, same old ice dams and leaks
Comments (30)Okay, here's where we now stand. The roofer who oversaw the roofing job (not the roofer of record), seems to feel he is responsible, since I first contracted with him. He feels that the reason the water got under the drip edge where it did is that the gutter had been raised in order to pitch it the "correct" way, and it was not low enough, that the drip edge was going into the gutter instead of sitting above it. He wants to either cover the fascia board with aluminum and run it up under the roof with a bead of caulk, or, place the "flap" of the drip edge against the fascia board and put the gutter up against it so there is no opening for the water to get into. I had the rep from Tamko at the house. He feels that the color problem resulted in the run between colors not being discarded, told me it RARELY happens , and is suggesting that the roofer swap about five sections with other sections from an upper roof, and hand seal them. He insists the integrity of the roof will not be compromised, and that it will look perfect. He also says that Tamko has no liability for color, that their warranty does not cover it, and he spoke to both roofers, partly in my presence, and partly while he "hid" in the driveway. I have to assume Tamko is going to pay for this work, but I was not told anything other than that someone else from Tamko would come to the house to look it over, and make arrangements. He then said that I would be asked to sign a release after the work is done. Interesting, in light of the fact that he is saying Tamko has no responsibility, that they simply want a "happy customer". I am not sure I am happy about them pulling out sections of roofing and replacing it, so I would like some opinions here. I had another roofer come in to give me some ideas on the ice damming and backup situation. He also mentioned aluminum on the fascia, he did not get up on a ladder so he can't comment on the drip edge, but he also mentioned another product which is "sticky", like the shield, which he feels he could put on the edge of the roof behind the gutter. Will this work with everything that is already in place? I feel like I have just spent over $13,000 for a nightmare, and I don't want it compounded, but the only reason we even did the roof was because of the backup of the water after a snow, and this problem has not been remedied....See MoreDo I have enough room for climbers?
Comments (45)Sounds like those should be some great roses! Of those four that you ordered, Nahema and Florentina are relatively the most hardy and bloom pretty steadily, Pearly Gates is OK for me but appreciates zone 6 better, and Pretty in Pink Eden really wants to bloom in zone 6 or warmer. If there is a relatively more protected part of that fence, I might put PiPE there. Of course in zone 7 you're not worried about survival like I am, but if you want them to climb you want to be a zone or two above survival range. Vapor is right that I grow Madame Alfred Carriere in zone 5 (but my virtual zone 6) and I'd be cautious about her for a couple of reasons. First, in my zone she only blooms on old wood so I often don't have surviving cane. You shouldn't have that problem, but the second issue for me is that she doesn't rebloom later in the season. Ever. Others in warmer zones call her pretty constant blooming, but that is so not true for me. Last reason is that she is a monster and liable to swamp the other climbers that are indeed better rebloomers. She gets to 15-18' for me and I shudder to think of the house eater she'd be in your zone. One notion to ponder as you plant your climber is that the times when they look really impressive may only be scattered times in the year. We all post our glamour shots of roses and you'd think that people are always enjoying that level of splendor. In reality, climbers occupy so much real estate when they're happy that you really notice it when they take a break. That's just the nature of climbers, but you want to brace yourself and temper expectations accordingly. Also remember that climbers take at least a year longer than other roses to establish and bloom well, so be patient. I don't expect a climber to show off until about its fourth year. If it doesn't bloom much the first year, then you applaud it putting down roots. Have fun - those should be great climbers for you! Cynthia...See More- PRO11 years agolast modified: 11 years ago

kbarb,
Thinking about your problem, even though you have solved it...
If you can't find Preview click on the little magnifying glass in the upper right corner of your screen and type preview. Now that will bring up anything on your computer (including documents with the word preview in them) but near the top of the list and accompanied by the icon will be Preview. Using that little magnifying glass is a great way to find almost anything on your computer. Let's say you have a bunch of recipes saved as some kind of document file. Type an ingredient and every recipe with that ingredient will come up. Misplaced your Christmas card list? Just type in somebody's name you know is on the list.
You didn't say specifically what word processing software you were using but at least for Microsoft Office 2013 running under Windows, you can save a image in a Word document by right clicking on it and choosing "Save As Picture." I'm pretty certain that Open Office offers the same feature. Probably on a Mac too.
