I blame this forum for getting me hooked!
Comments (18)Hostasgalore- How many rooms of vendors were there? I actually only went through one room (next to the cut leaf room) at the end and the hall next to it. I had my 17 year old son (plant carrier) with me and he had his fill of lots of people in close quarters. I have a feeling that I missed some. We did do alot of drooling! Ha! May have missed some there but I added a Clifford's Stingray to my new stash yesterday. ; )...See MoreHelp me get cat out of a tree!
Comments (20)i was reading this forum last night trying to find ideas how to get my 1 yr old 5 1/2 lb cat from 60ft of an old oak tree. my cat hds been up there for 2 1/2 days and she is just a year old and we had tried everything, and i mean everything. called fire dept, humane society, animal control, people who charge to get animals out of houses etc, built steps on tree, 40ft ladder, etc. anyways i read an article on line last night that probably saved my cats life. this is what everyone should do because i honestly believe my cat would not have gotten down. ive heard stories from people saying their cat didnt ever come down. shes an inside cat and this was her first tree to climb ever, and what a beauty to choose. heres what to do: go to the store and get rope, round laundry basket, some sort of weight. tie the weight to the end of the rope and throw it over the branch right next to where cat is. next tie the basket to end of other rope(make sure to sure tie rope all around the edge(in and out of holes) so its all the way around the basket), make sure 3 parts of rope and come together at top of basket in the center. we put her sleeping pad, dry food, a can of fresh tuna, and soiled letter all in the basket. u need to put something with a familer smell in it to make sure she will feel sake getting in. then slowly pull the other end of the rope and pull the basket up to branch right next to cat. we had to menouver it a bit and she was cared at first but after about 5-10 mins she slowly got in. just b very patient and try not to move the basket too much bc it might scare them. slowly lower cat down and slowly grab her. we were so excited to get her down, we were all yelling and it freaked her out even more and she ran under the house. if i wouldnt have seen this last night online i might not have ever been able to hold my kitty again but i do not think she would have come down!!! hope this helps yall because i know how upseting it is to have your baby scared up in a tree. good luck to all and never loose faith!!!!...See MoreHelp me figure out what kitchen sink to get
Comments (3)Hi carrie.. This question comes up a lot on this forum and I am always happy to recommend my Blanco Anthracite Silgranit sink. I was all set to order a stainless sink, but I have seen some really ugly, scratched up ones so I continued reasearching and came across this type. It is indestructable, doesn't seem to scratch or stain. I have had mine only for 2 months, but it gets a lot of use. The other day it looked like it had either water spots or soap residue, so I rubbed it all over with mineral oil and it looks brand new again. (Still looking great after one week since the oil rub.) I don't use any harsh chemicals on it. I just wipe it with soapy water. Sometimes I dry it out. But I see that I don't have to do that. I can restore it to it's original beauty with the mineral oil. It is one of the best features of my new kitchen and people are very curious about it. Looks great too! KA:)...See MoreWhich other Houzz forums are worth checking out?
Comments (12)I enjoy the appliance forum, it can be snarky but I rarely post just read. Lots to learn some true some untrue. The Cooking forum is amazing with recipes and advice. Nice folks there. I also look at Kitchens sometimes just to see the great before and after photos of other's kitchens. Decorating forum well I fail in that regard. I have a friend who can put sticks in a vase and it looks like art; but for me they look like sticks in a vase. :( I didn't get that gene....See Morejellytoast
