Comments (6)This is only the first in a series of skills challenges that you will be facing on such an ambitious project. I have some concerns as to whether you have done your due diligence with the framers that you hired. As well as the design plans that you had created. They don't seem to posess the basic skills needed for the job. And you seem to be in over your head. Perhaps you should talk with some General Contractors in order to get you to a dried in stage with all of the plumbing and electrical roughs completed. Perhaps the bank financing the loan or the local permit office could provid you with some names to interview. Good luck!...See MoreMy succulent is dying and I don't know what to do. Please help me :(
Comments (16)Agree with Matt, leaves look rotting but are also sunburned. Rot wasn't visible in other photos. Many of the leaves are sunburned toward the tips... I wouldn't worry much about looking for turface and/or bark unless they are easily found. I went thru all of that (as many others did); found turface but not too lucky with bark (lots available, but is too large - 2" and bigger). So I settled for mix I use, with ingredients I mentioned in previous post (including photo I posted). BTW, I have read all posts by Al. I am very strong 'believer' ...but if you understand principle, you can make excellent mix using materials easily available, without going crazy looking for exactly the same...For example: Al's recipe doesn't call for perlite. But knowing perlites water holding capacity, one can figure out what it is good for and use it as a substitute for substrate not so easily found. There are many other substrates that are excellent if used in making well draining mix....See MoreHelp! My bunny ears cactus is struggling and I don’t know why.
Comments (5)They’re stretched out because while it was growing new pads the cactus didn’t recieve enough light, so the new growth grew long and lanky. I would cut the etiolated pads off with a clean sharp knife. Let the wounds callus over and the cactus will be fine. Keep the fresh cuts dry so there will be no chance of fungus creeping into your cactus....See MoreHelp! don’t know what to do with my laundry room
Comments (3)How much space is between the sink and the wall? If you want one cabinet to fit that space, you might try a ready-to-assemble PANTRY TYPE cabinet. But, those start at 18" wide x 24" deep x 84" high up to 96". There are similar ready-to-assemble LINEN TYPE bath cabinets, and most resemble furniture. Many are narrower, but they also tend to be shorter and might not hold an upright vacuum well, much less a broom. Perhaps a better alternative is to leave the space next to the sink for a trash container, and put a larger cabinet on the wall opposite the sink. Still, it would be better to choose a less deep cabinet so as to allow plenty of space in front of the sink, and a wider, but less deep, linen type could work. Just remember that tall cabinets should be attached to the wall to prevent accidental tip overs....See Moremitchell626
