Thanks, Robo, for the Air BnB suggestion
Comments (23)I don't at all understand the fascination with DW or DL though I know many families who absolutely love going there. When I hear about the trip planning, it just sounds so incredibly stressful and planned out to the minute that I have no desire to go. We did go to DL and California Adventure about 6 years ago as it seemed much more manageable than trying to plan a DW trip. My BIL lives about 30 minutes from DL and works for a large commercial construction company. They do a lot of work at DL and he was in charge of Finding memo when we were there so he as able to get us in one day for free then we paid for an additional day but back then it wasn't that expensive, mainly b/c our youngest was free and the others were still kid prices. We liked Calif Adventure more but my kids weren't big into Disney characters. BIL is currently visiting us here so we are doing the tourist thing with him visiting Washington DC. He was telling us how the my other BIL just visited him in Orange County and June spent the day with them at DL. He said it was basically $100 pp for him and his two girls for one day in the park. Plus it's still the off season so several rides were closed for maintenance. Even tho he lives nearby, it doesn't make sense for him to get annual passes as they just don't have the time or desire to go that often. I'm glad we got Disney checked off our list and that none of my kids are clamoring to go back. Mtnrd, my 15 y/o went to Maui last summer with BIL and loved learning to surf. It was one of her favorite things. Dh grew up going to Maui every summer (his family owned a couple of condos there) and BIL now has a condo there. Dh and I lived on Oahu years ago so Hawaii is near and dear to our hearts (we got engaged on the beach in Kaanapali). We'd love to go more often but with limited vacation time and budget, we want to take our kids to new destinations, but some day when the kids are grown, we'd love to visit more often. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip!...See MoreDesign Opinions on Outdoor Project?

Comments (9)If I am reading this correctly, you just need a larger piece of paper, not another scale :-) Architects, landscape architects and landscape designers all tend to use an architect's scale for the bulk of their projects rather than an engineer's scale.......it ls pretty standard for the industry. Using an engineer's scale will produce drawings that are too confining or small and the detail can't be seen clearly. Okay for site plans but not much use for anything else. The standard scale an architect or landscape designer uses is 1/8" equals one foot as that tends to be the easiest to read clearly and with sufficient detail to make sense for both client and contractors. On smaller projects or partial designs (like a single planting plan) an even larger scale might be used......1/4" = 1' 3/32" is the smallest scale on an architect's scale. Using this scale, to fit the trail of conifers at 176', you need an 18" x 24" piece of drafting paper. I got my first degree ( M Arch) before CAD became a thing and my second degree in landscape design and ornamental horticulture many years later but still when hand drafting was the most common practice. It is pretty much second nature to me now after some 35 years in professional practice.🤗...See MoreWanted! Design guidance for projects, inside and out!
Comments (3129)Lisalane, if I can bring myself to having two different chairs, then I'll most likely choose one swivel (or swivel glider?) and one recliner. I only need a swivel to the left of the fireplace. (I had actually never heard of a swivel recliner!) To be honest, I've never wanted a recliner in my main living/family room. When I visited the DM store, my intention was only to look at the sofa. After two hours of driving, then checking out different options for the Louise sofa I'd only seen online, I was in quite a lot of pain. I don't recall how or why I ended up sitting in a nearby chair, but it felt too good to be true. That was the Stephanie swivel. A store designer credited the built-in lumbar support for the comfort. You haven't complicated anything, so please don't be concerned. I'm feel frustrated, so a bit of brainstorming seems in order. Thank you for the many times you've helped me!...See MoreUser
