Just didn't think it through and now look what I got.
Comments (13)FOUR times!! Blimey, I guess that's a rose you really like. True, regarding rubbish...but they will have to toss it high. I am allowing 2m between chainlink and compost piles as I recall this rose as being vigourous but not anything like some of the famously huge tree climbers such as Bobbie James, Rambling Rector et al.The compost is frequently turned, emptied and generally messed with so I will be able to get at the rose for pruning. The heaps are about 4feet high, enough to keep the rose reasonably contained and upright until it has gained some size. Tip rooter, hmmm, can also be handy, but warning heeded. My recollection of seeing this as a full grown rose was almost like looking at a white wisteria, although much later in the year (I seem to remember this was a very late bloomer) - great hanging corymbs? panicles? clusters, anyway, of tiny white flowers and, later in the season, orangey hips. Minis: well a lot depends on how and where they are being grown. I love tiny plants (my first gardening loves were alpines) as well as great sweeping perennials so I would like to display little treasures the same as auriculas - in a 'theatre'. Have you ever displayed plants like that? Essentially, an auricula theatre is a series of shelves or staging, arranged in tiers, each individual plant in its own little pot - I have used various things over the years, from matte black painted terracotta to scrubbed tin cans. Total artifice, of course, with no attempt to place these perfect little plants in a landscape - they are to be admired at close quarters. So, minis. yes, I think so. To my joy, I have found a nursery which sells Little Buckaroo and I want, want, want Si....See MoreKD didn't order flush ends; says we can add skins AFTER install?
Comments (9)ladoladi- If you have the normal skin that is not very thick, you can't screw them from the inside. There is not enough in the first 1/4" or so of a screw's length to hold something like this, and you always risk going through the face. I wouldn't use Liquid Nails because it has a thickness to it which could cause gapping and it may not hold that well in this situation. If it were me, I'd spread a uniform coat of wood glue on both the cabinet surface and the back of the skin with a brush or a sheetrocking knife, and then use a brad nailer (i.e., compressor powered) to nail it around the perimeter; then fill the small nail holes with a matching putty stick. Alternatively, since you don't sound very experienced with stuff like this, you could get a handyman to do this. It would be a shame to do this poorly and have it detract from the appearance of the cabinet installation....See MoreWhew.... I didn't think I would get here!
Comments (45)It took me almost an hour to get in, and I'm not sure what I finally did right. Who knows if I will be able to get in again? I went in so many circles I was dizzy. And I hate that there are so many click-click-clicks to work my way down into Houzz to find these forums. The harder it is to find your place, the less likely people are to use it. I found this out at work when helping develop our webpage. I will agree with others that these pages are awfully dull looking....See Morewe just moved and I’ve made some changes and they didn’t come out like
Comments (63)well, clearly people feel very free to be critical and hurtful to make themselves feel superior. Having gotten that off my chest--I would put 3 good sized, rustic wood, staggered height candle holders (Pottery Barn or Pier one) on the right side of the TV console and maybe a pretty simple live plant on the left--ivy or something not too tall- nothing under the TV. I would keep accessories to a minimum--use a few properly scaled things - they make a better statement. Too many small things seem busy....See More- 9 years ago
