I can't post pics!
Comments (1)Before resorting to excessive exclamation points, try using Photobucket. It allows you to upload images much larger than the 61 KB limit here. It's very simple to use. Once you've signed up and uploaded the images you want, three sets of codes are displayed underneath each picture: URL, Tag, and Img. For forums such as Gardenweb, all you want to do is select the "Tag" code and paste it into the body of the post where you want it to appear. For example: The actual code won't have any of the spaces, but I put them in so you can see how the code will look like in the text. Without the spaces: I hope this helps a bit! We'll be waiting to see your pictures soon ; ) -Audric...See Moreposting pics from an I-pad?
Comments (36)Hi folks, We've been working on some of the photo issues and here are some updates. You should be able to now upload from all mobile devices. If you are having difficulties -- such as the 'upload' button being grayed out, please contact us directly. The issue with sideways photos seems to be with mobile devices only and we're still working on that fix. If you are taking a photo from your mobile device and you are taking the photo vertically, if you rotate it before you upload it to the forum, it should appear in the correct orientation AFTER it is submitted. I know this can be confusing, but we are working on it. As far as the issue with the img src html, this seems to be somewhat random for me. I've not been able to replicate it, so I'm not sure what's going on. If you are having this issue, can you email me directly?...See MoreI can't take it anymore! (Kitchen countertop clutter ...)
Comments (69)Wow, I never expected so many responses! Thank you all. Admittedly, this is a minor dilemma but it's still one that affects the aesthetics of my home and I appreciate the understanding in that regard. DH and I do not have traditional roles and the fact that he does the majority of the "domestic engineering" does afford him some leeway. However, we both agreed when we purchased our home that we intended to keep clutter to a minimum. To that end, I spent a good deal of time this past weekend reorganizing and removing/rearranging some of the decorative items. He and I also discussed renewing our efforts to keep clutter to a minimum. It's all too easy to let it pile up and after awhile it tends to become a part of the scene for some people. We renewed our intent to guard against that. rgrs, you asked if I'd ever come up with something to hold the remotes, and I did find something tucked away in the china cabinet that's working very well! It's an antique soup tureen, which may seem like an odd thing to use, but I think it's lovely to look at and it's the perfect size to hold two or three remotes....See MoreKitchen-can't take it anymore, help w layout! want addition + mudroom
Comments (96)Here's another idea: Your foyer is the right size to be a half bath. And since it's across from the stairs, it's also naturally positioned off what will feel like a little hallway. You mentioned that the stack for the upstairs bathroom is somewhere over the dining room (I think on the wall between the dining room and the front porch)? If so, then the plumbing/sewer lines aren't far from the current foyer. The front door could move to where the front-facing living window is. This is one of the few fenestration changes you could make to the front of an old brick house that would look right because it involves only removing the few bricks below the window. This doesn't require reframing (so it's not expensive structural work), and you don't need to add any bricks (which is good because new brick work never matches quite right -- good enough for the less-visible sides of the house, but not something you'd want on the front). You said earlier that your living room is so long that you don't use part of it, so it shouldn't be any issue to define a small section at the end of the living room to be your foyer. There's also a couple handy walls there for hooks or a bench or a wardrobe or whatever foyer-like amenities you might want. I suspect it'd be an overall upgrade from your current foyer, which is pretty cramped. Meanwhile, moving the bathroom frees you up to devote the current half bath space to the kitchen. The result is a MUCH more functional galley kitchen. Since all the working areas of the kitchen are in one line and the walkway is a generous width, you could easily have three people working in this new kitchen. You'll also be flooding both the kitchen and living room with light and creating a great cross-breeze by having a direct, uninterrupted line from the new kitchen door to that living room window that is closest to the library. The kitchen is where you'd be doing your only structural work -- removing the current bathroom walls (if those are even structural) and creating a new window over the new sink location. The kitchen sink in the galley hasn't moved very far from the sink's current location, so hopefully that'll be more of a plumbing tweak than a situation where you have to pay to completely re-pipe. You'd also be turning the current kitchen window into your new kitchen door (which, like the living room window conversion, shouldn't require reframing and therefore wouldn't be structural) and bricking up over where the old kitchen door was. You could leave the bathroom window as-is if it is above counter height and you're willing to forgo a storage cabinet to the right of the stove. There's also a possibility that the bricks removed during the living-room-window-turned-door process and the kitchen-window-turned-door process and the new-kitchen-window-creation process could be salvaged and used to feather in the patching for the old front door and/or the old kitchen door. As for the mudroom, I'd suggest you make the library a mudroom/library. There are two great walls for mudroom stuff right next to the library's backdoor. Even with whatever furniture you have in there for the library purposes, that room generally has space for the whole family to pile in and take off their winter things at once. And you'd no longer have people with mudroom business traipsing through your kitchen. In general, the above is a WAY better kitchen and a WAY better mudroom situation without an addition....See Moreeam44
