Comments (21)see link ... i dont care what words you guys use ... but words do mean things.. and it really does further knowledge when we all use the right term ... the only real issue is.. who knows the right term ... so i suggested a source of words ... i dont care if you use the list or not ... and i dont care if you use the right term ... and if you reread my comment.. i wasnt even sure if what i suggested was correct ... i was using the Socratic method of teaching ... as in at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method and this sounds a lot crabbier than i mean it.. so dont read anything into it .... have a great day ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See MoreBlue Ivory or Stained Glass???
Comments (11)Dear Karen, Ken and Jbranch. Thank you for the responses. Ken, I only have 3 fragrant hosta at the moment. Although I want more.. I look for foliage first and if it has fragrance... bonus. So maybe .... I should get ... Jbranch, Thank you for taking the time and looking at the Hosta Libary and your beautiful Stained Glass. That's sort of what I was thinking. I was concerned that Blue Ivory and Guardian Angel might be too similar. By the same token I just don't want the Stained Glass and Guardian Angel to clash. I am waaayyyy overthinking this. LOL. Alexis...See MoreBlue Ivory or El Nino hosta?
Comments (9)All of those pics are so beautiful! I love them all! Actually, I do have Autumn Frost new this year! LOL! I am still 50/50 with Blue Ivory and El Nino, which means I am probably going to get stuck buying both of them. Oh, and then there is Great Escape, that I forgot to mention in this! LOL! Great Escape seems to have the same wider white boarder that I like with Blue Ivory. Anyone grow this one? So now with Great Escape, that is 3 I have to now decide with! If I did not have a husband to complain, I would just buy all 3 and be done with it!LOL! Christy...See MoreQuestion About Shower Tile Edge - for tile gurus? [with pics]
Comments (12)JW-- The house is older (builder is long gone) and we did a complete renovation. I have a rather flexible schedule, so we thought we could save some money if I was the GC essentially. Only problem with that plan was that sometimes, regardless of how much you read up, you simply don't know the right questions to ask and you can't foresee any of the million things that could go wrong or not happen exactly as you planned. The tile installer is a good guy. He did a lot of work for us--3 bathrooms (floors, 2 showers, 1 tub) and installed bamboo floor throughout the rest of the house (2800 sqft). Because of the amount of work, he brought in some extra guys. I'm not sure if those guys were quite as experienced, so some things had to be re-done. He's been good in that sense, so far. This bit with the shower tile edge is just something we didn't really expect. He told us he had to "float the wall out" and we asked if it would "look okay." He said, "Sure." Maybe his aesthetics are different than mine. If we'd known more about tile setting, maybe we could have foreseen this result and come up with a solution prior to setting the tile. It sounds like you certainly know what you're doing and, as someone who's had to work with so many different craftsmen and tradesmen in this process, I commend you for taking a proactive approach. It seems like far too often tradesmen want to get started on the job, don't bother to ask any questions, and when something goes wrong the homeowner is to blame. I'm not saying the homeowner is blameless, but sometimes we just don't know what questions need to be asked. We have the answers, we know what we want; we just don't always know the question that needs an answer, especially when it comes to specific trades....See Morelinnea56 (zone 5b Chicago)
