You know your gardening attitude has changed when .........
Comments (15)I read your post with interest. I think I share some of those sentiments. If you really were just joking, then ignore me. I sometimes misinterpret the subtle humour expressed. I was surprised you didn't get more responses. I've been thinking about your points. Anyway, here's my take: 1. Downsizing is definitely on my mind, in the garden and indoors. I've been looking around the house at all my houseplants and realizing I have far too many. They are starting to annoy me. 2. The thought has occurred to me that I do pass up opportunities to travel, because no one would be here to care for my garden. Spring travel would be difficult because I have seedlings started. Fall travel is difficult because there's so much to do to prepare the garden for winter. I hate the idea of winter travel. So what's left? 3. There have been times in the spring, when I work from morning till night in the yard and realize that no one else in their right mind would want to work like that. Yes I have created a monster. 4. Yes, painkillers are required. 5. I am not a collector of any one species of plant. I'm more of a general collector. I have a hard time being selective. So I have too many types of plant to work with. 6. Yes, I agree, all daylilies look alike. 7. Don't have bamboo, so can't comment on that. 8. I am certainly happy to dig up and share almost anything in my yard. 9. I love visiting garden centres, but seldom buy anything. I know the amount of time I spend on garden.web is excessive. There are times when I honestly feel I could just walk away from my garden and not care. I'm starting to think more along the lines of low maintenance shrubs, but haven't taken the plunge yet. So am I just suffering from a case of the blahs, or is it time for a serious change in gardening attitude?...See Moreyard changing....new garage and have second thoughts
Comments (15)memo and gldno1, thanks for the vote of confidence. Yes, we will be very glad to get the storage and stuff "out of sight"! irene, we are actually building it a little different than the picture shows on that side. We are planning to have a stairway on the outside up to the balcony. To eliminate one long stairway and the room it would take, we will be doing a partial stair going toward the little shed, then a landing and then the remainder of the stair in the oposite direction leading into the far end of the balcony. Does that make sense? Also we are thinking of moving the dormer closer to the front end of the garage, which would be off center, but as the small shed will be at the far end of the garage, the dormer would end up centered between the shed and the porch on the house. Again, does this make sense visually to you? Thinman, yes, the house is considerably wider. We had considered the 10/12 pitch too and drew it up both ways. In fact DH is going to measure the height of the peak of the house this weekend to see what it actually is. Your calculations were almost the same as what the builder gave us. Our thoughts were the additional 1 1/2 +/- feet of total peak height was not that important, but the headroom at the side was. With the steeper pitch, we would not have to cut the inside stairway up to the second floor quite as short with the landing and turning the final part of stairway for head room....See MoreJust in case you missed it - MTPS change of venue
Comments (3)That's funny because I had a dream last night that several people showed up at Jan & Jim's and weren't too happy!...See MoreHas induction changed how you use other appliances?
Comments (7)I'm imagining a ferrous tupperware-type product so you can store, heat and serve your leftovers on your induction cooktop in the same container... it comes with plastic lids for sealing in the fridge, and metal or glass for heating. Maybe Corning will make a ferrous line of French White? We're also looking at an Advantium. I think we would use it a lot as a speedcook oven, so I've been wondering if I would be annoyed that I don't have a microwave available during those times. But it sounds like my induction cooktop will pick up some of the micro usage. I am loving all of these new technologies (or in the case of induction - reintroduced technology). It's a great time to be planning a kitchen remodel!...See Morebry911
