Looks like Confederate Jasmine, Trachelospermum jasminoides. It's an agressive vine, and will quite happily take over that fence in a short time. VERY heavily scented white flowers in the spring. I find the aroma cloying, and like it best from a distance....like two blocks away, lol. But that's me...lots of people love it. Not a true jasmine, by the way.

I have to preface this by stating that I don't do acrylic bases. However... An acrylic base does not need a membrane underneath it. What will kill an acrylic base is flexing; flexing in the tray can cause it to eventually crack, flexing around the drain can case a failure near the drain. To prevent flexing, many manufacturer's recommend their bases be installed in a mortar bed. And as you discovered, mortar spots do not make a mortar bed. Once the base is set in a mortar bed, normally 6-mil poly sheeting is run on the wall studs and the bottom edge of the poly goes over the flange in the acrylic base. This way any water that gets through the wall will hit the poly and not enter the framing bay. Over the poly sheeting goes your cement backer. Either a true cement board like Wonderboard or Durock, a fibercement like Hardie, or a (cough cough, ugh) gypsum core product that has an acrylic skin on it like DenShield. If you use any type of lightweight gypsum core product, every nail or screw hole and sheet edge needs to be detailed correctly. Then you tile over the backer board. If you know the make and model of your acrylic base. read up ion the installation instructions. If it requires or recommends a mortar bed, then get one. If you don't have any sort of membrane (poly or lapped tar paper) on the walls between your backer board and your framing, then the wall board needs to come down. Yanking the acrylic base and the wallboard sounds like a huge step backwards, but it'll only cost you a few hours. But it's nothing like the horror you'll enjoy of having to demo and rebuild a leaking shower. And for bedding the base in foam, I don't agree with that method. If it needs a bed, then mortar, not foam. Mongo

It's a Montgomery Ward machine (electric?) in a Singer base ... no mystery there. Wards bought machines made by others and added their label. The probable manufacturer is "Happy" of Japan ... good quality machines if well cared for. The attachments are binding feet and others. I can't ID them all. IF IT WORKS, it could be a useful machine for someone who quilts, but unless old treadle machine bases are selling for high prices, sell it on Craigslist as a complete machine for $250 or so and haggle down a bit.

The second one is more tree like vs a peace lilly (I bought one of them too hahah) I'll get better pictures soon. Thank you for the advice!! I wish they would mark them better or at least some name, or species...they dont even have it on the web site it says to look up on the tag even!! Oh, I cant wait to get my plants out back and on my porch too!! It takes me a few weeks to get then all out because I mainly do cactus and so the covers front porch first then out back in full sun,so they dont get sun burnt. I just started with this 'assorted foliage " and its frustrating when I have no clue and the workers dont, neither do the web site show it ....I also bought a monstera sp and they all look wilted and debating if I should have bought 2 "just in case" but when I went back the next day, a lady had all 3 of them in her cart and bought them. I picked the one with the main stem very thick like thick finger width instead if babies...I hope I picked the right one vs they all looked over watered , yellow leaves and just wilted. The sad part is they had got them the day before I was out there (I stalk lowes since I sont have nurseries in my area lol) ...but I'll get better pictures of the 2nd one and would LOVE to see pictures of your baby too!! I'm still trying to find out where mine will be happy...I ordered some clip on lights from Amazon. I have 4 of them already and got 3 more "just in case'
