Enjoying the garden from inside the house
Comments (28)I was sitting at the kitchen table today at almost dusk and there were 5 hummers on my feeder and 2 more circling around.And of course there was the security guard up on the wire chasing away any other males that tried to stop by.They are soooooo much fun to watch and the only reason we buy sugar.I have to refill the feeders every other day. I to like this post. Congratulations Steven,and i know what you mean.Everyday when i open my shades i have to look at the messy porch across the street.Trash cans,nasty old string mops,cardboard boxes,big bags of dog food,etc,etc.It blows my mind that the owners can't see this.They own a gardening service that serves one of the most affluent towns in San Diego county,they do my yard and several of my neighbors.Yet their own looks like "Tobacco Road,WHY??? Makes no sense to me. Then we have another person in our neighborhood who has the raggediest flag i've ever seen.I kid you not it is torn along every stripe,and this is hung on the front of his house.This man is a retired Marine!!! I wrote up a big note one day telling him it was time to retire the flag and what a disgrace it is for him to have it hanging there,to disrespect a country that has given him so much. I put the note in his mailbox.That was over a month ago,and it still hangs there.I'm tempted to go buy a flag of his countrys origin ,cut it all up and send it to him and tell him to hang that one.Of course i wouldn't do this,but it burns my butt he doesn't remove it. I think i may call one of the veterans organizations and tell them about it. Kathi...See Moremodern-functioning kitchen in a pre-1850 house
Comments (30)Thanks for the input lov_mkitchen. That is what I was thinking. I keep hearing from everyone that taller is better, but I do so much baking that I am not really convinced. I think I will stick with my instincts and go a bit shorter on my island rather than the standard. My "kitchen" table is actually my dining room table in another room, so a bit of a pita especially when you have a nice smooth counter top to work on instead. I have nothing against laminate, had it in our last place in the city, however in this house with as old as it is we are trying to stay with more "natural" looking materials. With that said, I am not a granite fan and would never do marble or any other material that I couldn't be kind of hard on. I don't like having to tip toe around my counters. I use my kitchen and use it well, reading about people in the kitchen forum wanting to plastic wrap their counters before parties so they don't get damaged is a little laughable. That is a good tip on tomato juice. I have yet to make tomato juice. Usually I am too sick of peeling tomatoes to invest any more time in tomato juice but maybe next year if I don't have to peel I will try your trick. I also learned at the END of this season that if I freeze my tomatoes (didn't know I could do that another reason to love GW) that when they defrost the peels come right off and are ready to can in say Nov when you have less to do. I think I will try that next year with my new large freezer. Of course with a finished kitchen next year AND an actual dishwasher hooked up canning my tomatoes will be a breeze compared to this years harvest ;-)...See More9000 Voltage sign inside of home?
Comments (12)If we are talking about a small plug-in wall mount neon signs that bars get from distributors, or sometimes sold directly to consumers, you're fine. If this is a large wall mount neon sign installed by a sign company, that's a little different... you need professional installation. The only problem that occurs sometimes with these signs, depending on the type of power supply they use, is that they can create RFI (radio frequency interference) which can cause static in television pictures or on audio sound systems. Other than that, we have several of them in the bar area that was built into the house, and never had a problem!...See MoreWireless garage door opener solution from inside house
Comments (1)I don't know if anyone offers a "pretty" remote but you can certainly use one of the remotes designed for the car or a keychain and with a bit of double sided tape mount inside a convenient cabinet door. You could even mount in under a cabinet so it would be out of sight....See MoreSpringtime Builders
