Just moved to Iowa from Canada, need to start from scratch...
Comments (1)There should be plenty of Burgmansia growers on this site and if they use the priority boxes from the post office it should run about $5.60 to $12.35 depending on the amount shipped in those free priority boxes, minus shipping. I make the mistake of sending some roots using a box I had from home and it cost double using my own box to ship. This is the first year for me so I do not have anything to provide. I have received 5 cuttings and expect to have to find locations for all of them as they do get large. Happy gardening....See MoreStarting from scratch - need help with plant ideas
Comments (3)I am gardening in the Midwest as well. Not everything sold to me has been successful, others have flourished. All my experiences are on www.yardpace.org Stay away from anything that likes too much water, (expensive) and anything that requires acid soil e.g rhododendrons, azaleas.(too much hassle) Try to attract wildlife, butterflies etc. and fence up or the bunnies will eat your plants and thus your wallet. Here is a link that might be useful: yardspace...See MoreSmall bathroom from scratch - layout help needed
Comments (6)I'd like to see the vanity across from the toilet. That way people using the toilet can immediately wash their hands. If you need to split it in two for multiple person simultaneous use move the shower separate. That would also give you the possibility of a bigger shower. And yes, a pocket door to separate the two spaces. It's all going to feel very tight and small. This is almost what I removed during my remodel of my master bath to make one large room. You're blocking off any light from the window near the toilet to the other space. When I took those walls down the light now floods the entire bathroom and is a huge improvement....See MoreStarting Over From Scratch, Help Please!
Comments (42)Jillius, my sister hopefully won't need to move in for many years. So really the main use of the 1st floor bedroom would be a guest room/play room. But I do want to fix the bathroom with a zero threshold shower with grab bars. She's not in a wheelchair, more just balance issues. I'm imagining having a Murphy bed in the guest room that could be folded up when no one is staying with us and then the kids could play in there. I also like having the guest room close to a door so guests don't have to lug suitcases all over the house and up stairs. To answer your other questions, there are stairs going up and basement stairs going down also. The basement is partially finished. It already has a finished bathroom, fireplace and lighting. Just needs a floor really. It's a pretty usable space for an old house, very open with about 6'8" ceilings I think. But the stairs were changed long ago to a spiral staircase going down. The spiral staircase feels very treacherous to me. We would like to change it to a regular staircase, but that's beyond our budget right now....See MoreNothing Left to Say
