Significance of 5 leaf vs. 7 leaf roses
Comments (4)artemis_mo-- Go to photobucket.com and register (it's a free service). Then follow their easy directions for uploading your photos to photobucket. Once the photos are there, look underneath the photo--find and copy the "html tag" line. Come over here to the forum and paste the "html tag" right in the message box you type in your messages in. That's all there is to it. Oh, you can type above and below the html tag. Don't know the answer to your leaf questions, but I hope the photo info. was helpful.

Comments (4)With the dark stain, it visually won't matter that much. White oak will tend to have tighter grain (softer texture) than red oak. It is also a slightly harder wood which is better for dents. Rift and quartered has a different look than plain-sawn flooring. It is linear looking with annual rings running more or less in straight lines along the planks. 10-20% of the R&Q lot will exhibit ray fleck, which is quite pretty. Plain-sawn produces a cathedral pattern with the annual rings, what most people think of with oak. R&Q is superior in dimensional stability and should seriously be considered if you go with solid wood and 5" or wider planks. Anything over 8' in length is probably overkill unless you have huge rooms or very wide hallways where it might show. I installed a mixed width and I don't care for the 7" wide by 1' long. It seems out of proportion. Average length is the key and look for 4'-5'. An 8' long by 8" wide is actually as large as I would recommend for a typical remodel because of access (unless the wood comes in through the windows). Here is what I did (you can zoom in on the pics to see the grain and fleck): Here is a link that might be useful: Waterlox on Oak...See MoreKenmore Elite HE5T vs. GE 6240 3.7cu
Comments (2)I think the HE5t is a better washer, but it is also more expensive than the GE. The HE5t is made by Whirlpool (Bauknecht) in Germany and is a sibling to the Maytag Epic and Whirlpool Duet HT, so you might want to consider those as well. I think the GE is made in China, so the build quality is probably not as good as the Whirlpool quality. You can look at the HE5t siblings at Lowes and see what set of cyclesand options you like the best. They all have the internal water heater and are very similar. I don't think you can go wrong with one of those washers. Good luck!...See More5" vs 7" engineered hickory floor for stability
Comments (1)Check the installation instructions for the hickory. I MUST be allowed over top of HYDRONIC (water/oil/gel) in-floor heating. That's first and foremost. And then check to see if you can maintain 45% humidity at all times in the home (A/C might not be enough; dehumidifier located in basement probably isn't enough). Each story must have 45% humidity at all times. Now the width. I see no reason to go with 7". To me there is, visually, very little difference in the floor once the product has been laid. The 7" width is, to me, a trendy product. I know...some classic floors out there have this width (Buckingham Palace being one of them) but it isn't something you see from 100 years ago. I digress. The 5" width is a bit more 'middle of the road' while still maintaining the wide-plank trend. If you MUST have wide plank hardwood in a vacation home with in-floor radiant heat, in an area that has humidity swings, then go with the 5". It is just a snick safer...all the way around....See Morejane__ny
