Thanks guys, I appreciate the follow up. I bought some Bayer crab grass and lawn multi weed killer, the hose spray version. I havent used it yet because I just mowed the lawn today and it said to wait a couple days before applying. Is this going to burn my grass?. I saw the pre-emergence stuff but it said it was for spring time application so I passed. Next year though definatly.

My plans are a little up in the air, but we had to start because of a mold issue. I'm 100% sure I want to move the refrigerator and freezer to that wall, and will move the unit with the deep drawers to the other side. Most of the cabinets were built for the house mid 1980's and we had a couple of things added mid 1990's, but no doors made. We haven't been able to find anyone to make those doors. Dh & I have discussed pulling out the pantry at the far end and building one that goes to the ceiling. The way it is now, the pantry is about 5' tall and the cabinet above it set back about 10 inches. Just enough that I can't reach the doors or get anything out without a step ladder. We can reuse the lower doors but need to have upper doors built. I also want to add a spice pullout on that wall with the base cabinets, and I'm not sure whether to try to get a raised panel that small or just go with the same thing as the drawer fronts. That would be much easier, but I'm not sure how it would look. I'm going to either sand or strip the cabinets and stain darker. The finish is beginning to peel on doors with a lot of use. I'd really like to make it look a little more country, but I'm not sure those doors will go with that look. Here's a link to my photobucket album with the few pictures I have so far. Kitchen Remodel Samantha, I just did a search on Mediterranean kitchens and found a really great inspiration picture. It looks like Mediterranean and Tuscan are very similar. Christine, I'm kind of anal about symmetry also, but it's not the alternating panels that bother me about this, but that some of them are larger than others. It wouldn't be as noticeable if they were single panels. live wire oak, the countertop is the hardest part for me. I keep going back and forth on what I like and what is practical. That will be last and hopefully by then I can make a decision.

That is close to how we played it. In our version the first person says Ships a sailing, second person asks what's your cargo, first person names something, second person has to name something that correlates in some way to the first. If the second person's suggestion is not acceptable he is not allowed to go on the ship and is left in the ocean (has to sit on the floor.) This continues over and over with those not naming something acceptable, joining the others in the water and you may have several people in the water. Often players realize what the connection is to the two objects and therefore don't have to get down on the floor. Guess it sounds silly, but it really is fun, especially when some of the "smartest" people are not making the connection. I'm going to keep thinking, and maybe it will come to me. Thanks for jogging my memory to this point. Merry Christmas. Sue
