Marshall Frank took that picture possibly two years ago. whaas you can never have too many Alaskan cypress. Jubilee is my favorite green and narrow cultivar. You can see a choice photo and purchase one at Girard's for 20 bucks; plus they ship cheap. My plant was 2' tall when it arrived with a full gallon root-system. Couldn't have been better. I need to draw a plan. Right now I'm grafting 16 hours of 24 hours, however and it's not going to change for the next couple of weeks. Dax

marmoreus- the splayed leg structure looks stable for tipping purposes, but the single rail may not be comfortabe to your little ones because their feet have no place to rest once they are seated. As a 5'3" adult I can attest to the discomfort of crawling up on a stool only to find my legs swinging in the breeze. Not comfortable. My young grandchildren find my counter height bar stools (24" seat) to be very stable and easy to get on and off without assistance. The rail is 13" lower than the seat. This design seems to maintain an adult leg length between the seat and the rail in its 24" and 29" seat heights. Are your little ones tall enough to climb up to a 29" seat and sit supported without additional railing?

Thanks For The Suggestion, exmar! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I tried to get Our Local Habitat for Humanity to purchase that unit at Harbor Freight. I volunteered one morning a week for 6 years. Some mornings I would spend 4 hrs ripping ½” OSB shims to add in pre-built framing items (cripples, channels, headers, etc) to make today’s 2Xs full for framing. It was easy too fill a 55 barrel with saw dust in 4 hrs from the ripping. A 4’ box fan was the best I could convince them to do. It took me 6 yrs to get full of dust and volunteer my services at a cleaner healthier site. My point was that dust period was not good for us, plus we d/n know what chemicals were in the OSB. I would ck the directions of the wind as my exhaust when Hardiboard Siding was being cut. I ck the wind when cutting firewood also. Have you tried any attachments (2-4 or 1) with the software switch and was it successful???

I love the orange shower! It reminds me of a field of California poppies. What a great way to start the day ^_^ I had an orange kitchen sink in my very first apartment as a grown up. It was otherwise a very traditional space, so the orange sink was an unexpected surprise that got lots of comments from visitors. My husband isn't nearly as adventurous as I am, so other than lots of traditional stained wood trim and built-ins on our first floor, we don't have a lot of fixed color in our house. He let me "go crazy" with black & white tile in our laundry room and kid/guest bathroom because he doesn't spend time in those rooms, but otherwise we went fairly neutral. Once we moved into our house and he loved the 2 rooms with the black & white tile, he said he wished he'd let me have freer reign in the other areas. The most colorful built-in item we have is our kitchen counter granite. I hadn't done any research before we made the decision to build a house together, so we had to make quick decisions on fixtures and that REALLY stressed me out, especially with the kitchen. I wasn't sold on even using granite, but our builder acted like that was the only reasonable choice there was. My biggest fear was that I'd end up hating the granite I picked, but 11 years later I love it even more than I did at first. It looks like green-blue sea foam mixed with sea shells to me. I was worried it would limit color choices (for walls and such) in our open floor plan... And maybe it does, but in a good way. We don't live near the coast anymore, but I'm still attracted to things that remind me of it. Here's a picture of it from a distance: And a close up:
