Trying to find doors like this one...
Comments (22)The sticking on your doors is known as "cove and bead". The convex curved bead is next to the stile and the concave curved cove is next to the panel. In modern versions the position of the cove and bead are often reversed. You can find old doors or you can have doors made in a shop or you could buy an 1 3/4 flat panel door with no sticking and add custom C&B sticking or you can use the modern modified version. The mortise lock set can fit in 1 3/8 thick doors as well as 1 3/4 thick doors. Have you measured the door thickness? older version newer version...See MoreComplete first floor (1650sqft) from carpet to hardwood - wich one?
Comments (12)Janka ratings work for SOLID hardwood - not engineered. The reason: the wear surface (that they use the ratings with) is so THIN it doesn't offer the full DENT resistance. Yes...dent resistance. Not SCRATCH resistance - only dent resistance. The Janka test is based on how much force it takes to embed a metal BALL into the wood. This has NOTHING to do with the scratch resistance. Think "bowling ball" being dropped onto the floor, not "dogs nails" on the finish. Two VASTLY different things. So many people have been fooled by Janka ratings - especially with engineered wood. White Oak is just fine for "hardness". It really is. But if you insist on working with Janka ratings (which are useless) with engineered flooring, then you are welcome to keep looking. Hard maple will offer an option. Hickory is rarely stained "gray". That's why you are having such a tough time finding it. Maple and hickory don't really like to take a stain. And the gray stains are the HARDEST to get to work "right". So add hardest to get to work with a difficult wood to stain = no one brings it to market. I think you would enjoy the look of European Oak. It has a natural silver/gray tone to it. And the thing you are looking for: Taber ABRASION test. This is the test for scratch resistance. That is the test that is the most important to the N. American consumer. Scratch resistance - not "hardness"....See MoreWeed Identification help- trying to find rabbit-safe plants
Comments (4)Sharon, your first pic is not Purslane,(Portulaca), it's chickweed,(Stellaria). It would probably be good for rabbits, because it's edible and nutritious for humans. The second plant is not Echinacea, It's goldenrod, (Solidago). They are native plants, but some, like the one you have, are weedy and invasive. The seeds blow in on the wind, and they can take over a garden in no time because of their fast spreading root system. When removing them you have to comepletely remove all the roots, or it will just come back. I don't know if goldenrod is good for rabbits or not, but the wild rabbits in my yard never eat it. I can remove all the goldenrod each year, but the next spring there is always more. Your third plant looks like a weedy Veronica. Most species of Veronica are edible and healthful so you can try those for the rabbits. Some Veronicas taste like watercress. I live in Joliet, 40 miles south of Chicago.Sharon, it's kind of puzzleing what the wild rabbits in my yard are eating. They sometimes munch on the legumes, but I haven't seen any damage this year. I went to pull up a horseradish stalk I was trying to get rid of, and there was a bunny nest under it's large basal leaves, so I left it undisturbed. I heard you can grow new carrots from the tops that still have leaves, so I tried it, and the next morning I discovered the rabbits had eaten every last one of them. I guess they really love carrot leaves, though I'm also guessing that eating too many carrot roots is not good for them. Purslane is a weed that might make it to your yard on its own. Echinacea you would have to aquire. If you did have Echinacea last year, it may yet be still alive and choking inside the huge clump of Solidagos. Echinaceas don't do well if they are crowded by nearby taller plants....See MoreWeed Identification help- trying to find rabbit-safe plants. +Bonus ID
Comments (7)Try comparing to Veronica persica for #3. I see you have some dandelion in #2, I would expect them to be bunny edible. If you have dandelion, chickweed, veronica, etc., it is obvious that you have broadleaf weeds and so I would look for plantain (Plantago spp.). Probably another one you can feed the bunnies....See MoreTony Lokko
