pine doors/cedar trim. I'm not liking that dark strip on the door jam at all.
What can I do?

I think I messed up the cucumbers
Comments (3)Separating and transplanting cucubmber SEEDLINGS REQUIRE some know how. I have separated and salvage 5 leggy seedlings from one small cell. Here is how I do it. FirsT, you water and feed your seedlings beforE the operation. Then, have their next pot ready on the side. Invervt and take the bunch out. Try to find the best place to separate them, and do that. If tangled too much, put them in water and gently shake them until they come separated. YOU ARE DOING ALL THIS IN A COOL SHADE. Plant them right away and water them thoroughly to the point of flooding. Also, burry them in the soil up to their seed leaves. Keep them in indirect sun/filtered sun for a couple of days or more untill they get over the transplant shock. Then you can give them more direct sun and let them grab the soil. When they have couple of true leaves, Plant them in the garden, Again, have the hole ready, water them first, invert, place in the hole, fill/pack and AGAIN, water them REAL GOOD....See MoreI think I messed up dinner.....
Comments (9)Actually, if it isn't too late.... I think the catsup in it would burn... it has sugar in it. what I would do, if you have a metal meatloaf pan, if not, take an aluminum pan, or just some layers of foil, make a meatloaf out of it and cook it on med heat/indirect heat. Not sure if you have gas or charcoal grill. I think the indirect heat would cook it really well, and have a bit of a smokey taste to it. I have grilled turkeys and chickens and even prime rib roast this way. (indirect heat.) give is a unique and really good flavor. completely diffent than cooking in oven. The other thing you can do, is if you have an electric skillet you can make the meatloaf in it that way....See MoreOh Boy, I think I messed Up * MORE*
Comments (8)Missed the other questions---yes, I'd skip the drawer too. Personally I'd never use it since it would be hard to see what was in it. Saw a great kitchen with mixed counters the other day---all cabinets were fir, but they did an island in soapstone and perimeter counters in marble. Worked beautifully. We are mixing wood and stone on two sides of the kitchen, as much for cost as for anything. I'll send some photos of our kitchen when it's done....hoping for Thanksgiving! :) but in the meantime, here's a link to one of my inspiration kitchens for stacking the cabinets. I asked about it here a few months back and got some photos of beautiful taller cabinets, too. We decided to stack because: 1) our cabinetmaker was not charging us much more for two versus one tall cabinet; 2) we wanted to be able to close off the top cabinets and put infrequently used things there so they wouldn't get dusty; and 3) we wanted to use glass, but we have a little kitchen and most of what's in the uppers is not pretty to look at. So we're putting glass in the top cabinets, and will store serving bowls and such up there. We are also only doing uppers along one wall, which helps with keeping it from looking too busy, though. Here is a link that might be useful: Pretty stacked cabinets!...See MoreI think I messed up my lawn
Comments (4)If you're not willing, or don't have the time, to put in the effort than you are not going to have a decent lawn. If you have the money, get someone to come in and slit seed and fertilize your lawn as soon as possible. It's getting a little late to do this in NJ. I did it a month ago and am having great results. My lawn was totally dead from the drought...See MorePeppapoodle

i have gone over the doors with an oak stain now. It's not perfect, but better--I hope!
im sanding down the door jam on the 1/2 bath since that door will be used a lot. The other is a closet, low priority for me
too late for pre conditioner!! It's a very rustic building so I'm ok with not perfect.
Although, seeing this pic-- it's too dark. Sh/:;())t!!
Heres the doors I do like.......
