No idea what Hosta I have and not sure I should care
Comments (28)I strongly believe in knowing the names of all my hostas. Among other things, I record the grower/hybridizer, the year it was first introduced, and where and when I acquired it. I will not buy from any of the various home improvement stores, where labels often get switched around. That being said, every spring I end up with a dozen or so plants without labels. Obviously, the names of the NOIDS most be among the names of the hostas I acquired, and can easily be found. Most of these orphans result from dividing known hostas, when I forget to label the new divisions. Then there are those hostas, which are either sports, OP seedlings etc. and I record them just as well. If you feel it is to early to name them, identify them at least with some letters or numbers. By fall it is time to take pictures of all my hosta beds. I make B/W printouts and walk outside with the stack of paper in my hand and enter each name directly on the print out, or you might use 1 inch dia. Avery adhesive labels to white on. Use color prints if you don't mind the expense. If you are trying to identify plants from a friend, or those that came with house, try to estimate how many years they were with the last owner. That will reduce the number of possibilities drastically....See Moreneed opinions-should we get a garbage disposal? can we
Comments (5)Having grown up without one, I now can't imagine not having one. We do some composting, although not as much as I would like yet...still a work in progress for us. But, find that there will still be plenty of use for the GD. In our current kitchen, we have one with our single bowl sink (we're keeping the GD but getting rid of the single bowl sink). So, to answer your question, yes, you can absolutely have one with a single bowl sink. If you do get a single bowl, particularly a smaller one like what you mentioned, I suggest trying to find one that has the drain to the back and side. Our current sink has the drain centered, which means that more of the cabinet is taken up down below AND even more annoying is if I have a pot or pan soaking, it's hard to use the GD. You don't need to get a special sink to use a GD, but you do want to do some research about which GD will work best for your needs. Our old one was LOUD! The new one is quite quiet (all things considered)....See MoreWater shut off valve leaking-Should I install faucet before vanity?
Comments (12)I live in a condo which has 122 units and ONE shut off valve for the building's water supply. In other words, if water to a unit has to be shut off for any reason, the whole building has water shut off. In my experience, you can't replace a shut off valve without turning off the water for the building. You use the shut off valve so that you don't have to turn off water for the whole building to change a faucet or even a toilet. I would double check with management or whoever is in charge of maintenance because based on personal experience, you would need to close down all the water to replace the shut off valves. Because of the horrible consequences if a shut off valve breaks, my building has an annual inspection of all the shut off valves in each unit. If your shut off valve is found to be leaking or in danger of seizing (e.g. not shutting or opening properly), our building will make note of it. The HOA then turns off the water for one day so all homeowners on the list can get them replaced and the HOA generally provides the ability to use a plumber who bids a discount price. But the chief incentive is that normally it costs $2000 to shut off the water but there is no cost if you have the valves replaces on that day....See MoreShould custom refrigerator cabinets hide sides of refrigerator?
Comments (29)If that were my mistake, I'd pull the whole surround, add extra 3/4" pieces to the back edges (enough to move the cabinets far enough forward to cover the fridge sides), prime and paint to match, then re-install. You would have a barely noticeable seam 2"-3" from the wall, between the counter and upper cabinet, but wouldn't need to rebuild the whole structure. Add 2x4 ledgers to the studs to affix the upper cabinet....See Moretheclose
