Oh where Oh where has summertime gone?
Comments (13)Like the other Texas members, I do NOT feel your pain. Large areas of Texas have been declared eligible for disaster relief because the extended heat and drought have wiped out farm crops and cattle forage. Those big round bales of hay sell for around $80 dollars apiece, and they feed about ten cows for about two days. I feel a little guilty about the water usage (from our well) that it takes to keep our large yard alive...there is a vivid line around the yard that shows where the sprinklers stop---green on one side, brown and crunchy on the other. We have a large pond, and I often think it would be very interesting to have a motion-activated camera out there at night, to see the parade of desperate wildlife. There is a deer that brings her twin fawns out to drink and search for a little grass on the far side of the pond from the house, in broad daylight now. Guess she can't wait for dark in these temperatures. I don't much like hummingbirds (I know, you bird-huggers are horrified) but I finally put out feeders for them after I saw a hummer trying frantically to get his beak into a collapsed morning glory bloom. Nothing is blooming outside the yard. It'll be interesting to see whether the winter brings opposite extremes. Laura...See MoreOh where, oh where has the green arboricola gone?
Comments (5)Thanks for the info and offers, everyone-- I used to see this green arboricola for sale everywhere, but this season it seems that only the variegated stuff is out there. Maybe the colorful stuff was found to be more popular here in Naples. I wonder if philodendron selloum would be a nice substitute-- still tropical looking, a similar green color... I might try this if I don't find the arboricola around....See More*duh*, I could've had a V8! Now, where to find SS in OH
Comments (8)I talked to Katie at Strata and she seemed very helpful, she actually said that she has SS in her kitchen at home so she is definitely familiar with it. I spoke with her 2 or 3 weeks ago and she said they had 2 slabs of Brazilian SS in stock that had some green veining but that they work with several suppliers and could order more in. I'm not exactly at the buying stage yet so I haven't made the trip to talk to them in person but as I get further in my remodel I will definitely make a trip up there. As for mountaineergirl's suggestion of Designer Stone in Port Washington, they are actually only 10 minutes away from me, I have talked to them and they aren't overly familiar with SS, or at least the person I talked to wasn't, but they have done it and usually get their stone from Mont in Solon. Let me know how it goes with Strata if you end up going with them, right now we are seriously considering DIY (my husband and his uncle who is a contractor, so there is experience in countertops just not SS) and getting the stone from M. Tex. Good luck with your search! Kinsey...See MoreWhere Oh Where Can I Find an Old Fashion Mop?
Comments (21)I hear ya!! There are tons of them available for very good prices but they all have cotton heads, I honestly have never seen one with anything other than a cotton head, the rayon is what seems to make it hard to find and apparently costly. My cleaning lady uses an industrial size mop and the big yellow wringer caddy on wheels she gets hers at janitor supply stores. I have seen them at costco and sams too but I would bet they are all cotton. What is special about the rayon? Wilen Professional H10016-011 General Purpose Deck Mop as you can see there many choices for cheap but all cotton this is what it says on the mop page about the differences in cotton and rayon "General Purpose Deck Mop features high grade yarns with cut ends, rust-proof cord-tied outside binding, and a metal handle. Cotton yarn is more absorbent for efficient cleaning. Rayon yarn is ideal for applying finishes and other liquids." so are you using it as a mop or to apply some type of stain or finish? well I did find some with a new google search Rayon Deck Mop Rayon Deck Mop search...See MoreRelated Professionals
