Where to start? I'm just stuck since I want smaller
Comments (6)I would start with some practical questions, which can be useful with the short-term plans, and can help you set the 'bones' for your longer-term plans. And can help you keep things simple. Might help with the 'stuck' thing. Where on that porch do you want shade, either from shrubs/small trees or trellises with climbers? Sun in the morning and shade in the evening? And do you want a blocking of vision from the road to feel that the porch is more private? Or would you rather have that view more open? Which way does the prevailing wind come from? Depending on where you are, you may want to leave that breeze corridor open, or you may want some buffering. If I had that porch, I would want to just plain live on it [jealous grins]. But is there another area to the back or side of the house where you might want other outdoor-living spaces.... Barbecue/picnic areas, play areas, a patio, whatever? Or is that front porch likely to be the focus of your outdoor-time? Once you've thought about all this stuff, you will have an idea about where to place some of the 'bones'. Shrubs, small trees, trellises, any walls, fences, whatever. Then, *around* those bones, you can keep developing plans for later, and can plant the things you want. And there is no reason that you can't just pick a garden spot or three for some of the sun plants you want to try, preferably in close view from your chair on the porch. But you can keep the plants, and the labor and maintenance, very small. Forget worrying about foundation plantings around the house. Concentrate on the areas that will affect your enjoyment of the property in the way *you* want to enjoy it. [What do *you* want to see when you walk out on the porch with coffee in the morning?] And with the setting of your house in its landscape, you would do better with more irregular planting areas where they work well and for you, rather than nice, neat standard all-around-the-house-suburban foundation beds. Plant where and what you want, and you can add more irregular space to the bed, and more plants, later. Use a weed-whacker along the rest of the foundation.......See Moresmall engine repair iii...it started but....
Comments (13)To install the seat, you will likely have to remove the carb. You could try installing the seals and new needle and make it easy on yourself.BTW, I would suggest the OEM Tecumseh parts. It appears the link goes to an aftermarket. Any Tecumseh dealer should have them plus no need to pony up for shipping. Proper order: W/ seat install- you will have to either blow the seat out of the hole via the fuel fitting or dig it out. The new seat goes up into the carb with the ring up. It fits tight. You can use the back end of a drill bit if it is smooth. Hook the needle wire under the tab pointed out as you did before and install the float and pin. Check the float level as shown in the manual. Remember they are doing it with the carb off. Slide the new upper bowl seal on, the lower seal over the cleaned nut and away you go. I'm sure this is in the manual as well for something as a reference....See MoreI'm too overwhelmed. I just want a quality couch.
Comments (2)It looks like the main criteria in a new leather sofa chaise you are looking for are: Sofa with chaise True 8- way hand tied construction Solid Hardwood frame Down feathers Dimensions that fit your space Real top grain cowhide leather Two manufactures come to mind right away as I read your post for American made and one for imported like RH. For American made I would look at Leathercraft or McKinley Leather. Both are made in North Carolina and both will do any custom work you need. Palatial Furniture would be a source for an Imported frame. They also meet all your criteria but instead of a 4-6 week delivery time you will be waiting about 3 months. Palatial will price the lowest because it is imported. There are many other lines out there that have some of your criteria, but not all. The three I have mentioned have all the things you are looking for....See MoreCan I use shower curtains as outdoor curtains?
Comments (14)Yes, you can. I bought the 100% polyester fabric shower curtain liners from Superstore and they are still perfect five seasons later. Mine are light grey so the don't look dirty. I throw them in the washer once or twice a season to freshen them up. Keep in mind that they are super light weight so you will need a method to weight them or tie them down. For me it was easy, I just binder clips them to my cable deck railing. Since they are polyester, they have never gotten moldy or mildewed - but I am in a low humidity province....See MoreRelated Professionals
