Have you ever had a water garden and then got tired of it?
Comments (16)Well, both look absolutely lovely. Shady - Is that a real dog?? If so, he looks very, very content. Well, it looks like the electric fence may be working. No damage last night. Hope it lasts. Count yourself lucky if you've never had to deal with racoons. The first time this season I realized I had a problem was the evening I left the pump running all night. I should have know better because these critters love moving water. The pump is just a small recirculating pump with an intake valve on the side and an outflow valve on the top where the water shoots out. I attached a small piece of tubing to the outflow valve so the water would bubble up closer to the surface and cause that nice sound of moving water. Well, one morning when I woke up, I opened my bedroom blinds to take a look at the garden as I always do. The pond was empty of water. The 'coons had managed to move the pump so the outflow valve shot the water out of the pond and drained it. Luckily, there was still about 6 inches of water in the bottom so the fish survived at least. After refilling it, the next night the critters ate all the water hyacinth. These were the water hyacinths I'd over wintered inside the house for the last 6 months. It's funny, but they don't bother anything else in the yard or garden. Just the pond. Once the water lily starts blooming, they eat the flowers and buds. For now, at least this summer, I'll keep the pond, but I have a feeling it's going to go at some point.

Comments (4)That sounds terrible Alisande. I don't know that I had Salmonella, but I did get a very bad case of food poisoning a few years ago. It was when we had the foreign exchange student and it was the only time in the year that she showed any concern for any of my family. LOL I had ate at a Chinese restaurant and while I was eating the egg drop soup (?).. I found an odd chewy piece of meat which did not taste right... but being in a restaurant I swallowed it anyhow. Big mistake. Less than 48 hours later I started throwing up and didn't stop for 3 days. I ended up sick for about 2 weeks. That was the worst I had ever felt in my entire life....See MoreAnyone else have panic attacks before install?
Comments (20)Pqsmom, I'm so happy you love your Buckingham! I can't wait for mine. I'm still not 100% at ease, but doing better. There have been a few snags (what a surprise since that never happens right?). For example in spite of asking the owner of the cabinet shop about 7 times if she was sure she had made the trash cabinet big enough since I thought the Rev A Shelf website saying the opening had to be 15" meant it needed a 16.5" cabinet, she repeatedly stated her specs said a 16" would be fine. Well, installer agreed with me since the trash didn't fit. Now they are going to have to re-cut that cabinet, adjust some stuff and re-order the door. They also sort of forgot to make the fridge cabinet or order the doors for it. Whoops. Anyway in spite of those and a couple other issues, they were still able to come out to template so at least the mistakes won't mean I have to wait even longer for my Buckingham - just as long as it takes to re-cut and install the messed up cabinets. I found the templating interesting since it sort of looked like two grown men doing a big arts and craft project, using plywood boards instead of toothpicks! But maybe that's just the renovation insanity setting in....See MoreHaving a mini panic attack now!
Comments (11)You're not going to get your answer here on Houzz. Different beams have different bearing lengths. Get a local structural engineer involved or ask your builder Tuesday. You do not share the detail of what is proposed for the top of the column. There may be a beam that sets on top of the column then the floor joists set on top of the beam and potentially framing in between. Read the drawings and see what is planned for the top of the column or ask your architect Tuesday. If you do not have any confidence in your builder, fire him and hire someone you can trust. If you do have confidence in the builder you hired, read How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie. On second thought, read the book either way....See Morenatesg
