Calling all geeks. Help me fill my sci-fi garden (off topic)
Comments (17)The only plant genre I can think of with more creative names than roses is the daylily world, and there are tons with science fiction names. The clearest series to come to mind is the "Spacecoast" series, such as Spacecoast Jedi Knight. Most of the colors look decidedly alien as well. As for roses, there is a Space Invader listed by Carruth on HMF, but no US vendors. Armstrong and several others have the mini Space Odyssey. There is a Vulcan rose, but it's not available in the US. Over a dozen roses use the word "Fantasy", many of whom are available in the US, including a pink Fantasy (Jackson & Perkins) and a red Flame of Fantasy available several places. Sounds like a fun plan! Cynthia...See MoreCalling all Tomatoe Gurus - I have room for 3-4 variaties
Comments (19)Cherry would be Black Cherry (hands down!) Early would be Kimberly (nothing personal) Green Zebra would be a priority, not only because of its beautiful colouring, but because of its productivity and its great, unique taste. Then a red or pink beefsteak/slicer - Neves Azorean Red, Red Brandywine, Large Pink Bulgarian - there's tons to choose from - you just have to research their qualities ( DTM, yield, flavour etc.) & pick what you think works for you. If you're planting 6 or 7 plants in that space - I would say one Black Cherry and one Green Zebra is never enough! Plus you could try more than one large pink/red....See Morecalling all problem solvers! drain in laundry room?
Comments (8)My personal feelings: 1) I like having a drain. I would not say it's "absolute" but I would feel better with one. 2) "Rarely" is a subjective term. They don't flood often but when they do.... Guess the question is are you feeling lucky? 3) Good hoses are a part. BUT, my washer had the clamps lose their tension and it leaked the water from inside the washer. So, for the advice you're received, A) the quality and type of the hoses were irrelevent; B) The capacity of the washer was irrelevent, since it kept going as long as the washer was on; and C) Even turning off the water would have been irrelevent since it happened while the washer was on. That said, if your drain plugs, you're SOL. There is the sensor mentioned that sits on the floor or in a place where water would likely go and if it gets wet it'll shut off the water supply. However, some have reported problems with this working properly on certain washers. If it would work, I think it's a good idea. Getting good hoses is only one part. CHANGING the hoses occasionally is another part. Shutting off the water supply when not in use is a great idea and if you get the right part you can shut off both hot and cold with a flip of one lever. And a pan is of dubious value if you don't have it go to a drain. Given that your basement doesn't have a drain, I think I'd go with the single lever shutoff and good solid hoses changed regularly. Don't be fooled into thinking the ones that have the stainless braiding on the outside are actually better. Most people I've talked to and things I've read suggest they're not because you can't see when the hoses start to bulge out indicating failure is iminent. It would seem to me that the braiding could actually cut into the hoses and cause them to fail faster. I just buy good heavy rubber hoses and replace them every 5-8 years. The cost is a matter of a few dollars. For added security, I'd look into the sensor and whether it would work with your machine. And I'd double check my insurance. Since you don't have a drain, if your basement leaks water, or has a leak you're going to have trouble. Apparently you don't have a wet basement issue so you probably have good drainage and some luck!...See MoreCalling all Slobs! New kitchen is getting the 'lived-in' look
Comments (41)We have the same problem with horizontal surfaces- if it's flat and doesn't move, it generally gets covered in SOMETHING! I ended up designating an 18" wide section of counter that's next to my fridge (isolated from everything else) as my "slob zone". I allow myself to just pile and pile and pile on there till the pile threatens to fall over, then I clean it out and put things away. Of course, nothing REALLY important goes there (or else I would have some problems with the bills) but the mounds of paper that the kids bring home from school, the tool manuals and receipts that my husband leaves all over the place, the ends of our soda cartons (because I never seem to have time to enter in all the Coke Rewards we collect), everything else ends up in that pile. As long as I allow myself that one bit of sanctuary, I seem to be able to keep up on the rest of the clutter ok. => And, also, we got a 10" deep, 36" wide sink specifically so that the dirty dishes will stay relatively out-of-the-way. I laughed when I read the few people that mentioned "last night's dishes", we usually don't get caught up until the weekend......See MoreRelated Professionals
