Cabinet Meeting Tomorrow--What Do We Need To Make Sure...
Comments (8)Soft close glides and hinges; 170 degree opening hinges except where doors are blocked from opening past 110 degrees (we've been told they are better hinges and they allow doors to open out of your way fully). Full extension drawer glides. Adjustable shelves and pull-outs are good. I don't know that I'll want to adjust mine in the future, but during the "putting stuff away phase," we did need to have some pull-outs moved so they could accomodate certain items (same with the shelves, but I did those myself along the way). Pull-outs under the sink. Shallow lipped pull-out at the top of the pantry for short cans and jars. Wood (tiered) insert for spice drawer if you'll have such a drawer. See the thread re: storing a large amt of spices. "Found" space, often in an island, behind other cabs or drawer banks. Cabs and drawers are often standard depths (from front to back), even in semi-custom and custom cabs. In our 30" wide island, we had 6" deep by 27" wide or so "dead" space behind the drawer bank on the opposite side of the island, and another 6" deep by about 15 or 18" wide space. We put those shallow spaces to good use--the wider one for our step-stool, and the narrower one for some storage and wired it for our kick heater switches, too....See MoreLooking at Granite Tomorrow - What Do I Need to Know?
Comments (8)1. Bring any samples of cabinet, flooring, that you plan to use. 2. Bring a camera and a notepad. Make notes about the photos and write down the name and size of the slabs. 3. Bring your kitchen drawings, with dimensions. Most kitchens will need two slabs for the entire countertop Measure the general linear feet of countertop and the size of any island to give the granite yard a better idea of whether you need one or two. 4. Have a general idea about whether you want drama or movement or would prefer a more uniform stone pattern. 5. Ask about cracks or flaws. Stay away from those with big crystals in them, or big mica-like pieces, they shatter like glass when being cut and can be unpleasantly fragile. 5. Don't be afraid to "go outside of the box". You may find something truly inspiring that wasn't your initial thought. I'm convinced my honed granite is the most beautiful thing on the planet, yet I went in thinking I was going to want a polished surface....See MorePruning my Meyer lemon, tomorrow. Can you check if I'm doing it right?
Comments (15)Ok, so this morning, I took a deep breath, and I pruned my tree. I gave it a good watering last night, and once again just after I pruned it. I hope I did it right. I cut that one limb I had tagged, making sure to do it at an angle, and the end of the branch just below it, too to keep with the shape I want. I then apologized to my tree, went inside, put the cuttings in water, and started to bawl like an idiot... Sigh. . Good news is, my neighbor, who is a plants and trees and all flowers of the world fanatic, is going to pick them up later this morning and try to root them. He has the hormone and everything. Don't know if it will work, but at least it will give those limbs a chance. . . . Today was supposed to be FP day, should I abstain on the tree I pruned, or not? . Thank you for the help and advice, y'all. God bless, . Atheen...See More"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, creeps on this petty pace..."
Comments (25)Yep, I only water "new implants",and last time I was there I did test the soil with my moisture-reader of a couple of them, and the soil still registered as "moist" ,so I haven't yet started watering. In any case, this year there's only 15 new ones,since I could only start gardening after Christmas, due to the hip operation. What's more, I do have quite a lot of water stored up out there; it's just that, as a principle, I like to always replace the water that I use as much as possible. But these past 2 years have been so hard: last summer, since I was doing chemo, I had to break my rule and use water without replacing it,my water-catching rooflet fell down, and un-wisely, I put off filling up one of my 5 big water tanks-I didn't forsee my car having problems. So, things are far from "desperate", lol-it's just frustrating. For at least this up-coming week, I may have to avoid trying to go out there;the forecast is so bad! extreme heat, no favourable wind (for me, favourable is south-west ; makes it bearble temperature-wise and keeps the mosquitos, flies, etc away). Among my future projects is to build myself a sort of gazebo, so I'll have a place to sit in the shade and just look. Also adding trees, though it's tricky. The view is so beautiful, and I don't want to block it too much, but it is towards the south-west . So I am trying to guess spots in which I can put trees that won't block the view completely, yet will provide some protection from the afternoon sun. But I get so little morning sun, and I don't want to block that. I'm also trying to think of ways to shade the roads that I must use to get down to my garden. For the main one I'm going to try to plant tall -growing climbing roses that I can train over rebar bent to form arches, in the hopes to create a sort of rose tunnel. On another path, within the garden,I've decided to not replace the roses that I removed -they were doing so poorly!-and instead put in a redbud or two. I've got 2 wisterias planted that I'm hoping will help shade the entrance gate as well. Gotta build support structures for these things, though...so much to do! but for now it's best that I just sit tight, and try to be patient....See More- 7 years ago

Happy Pink Day everyone!!!!
I slept all day because I work tonight but I am wearing a pink shirt, pink sandals, and I rocked my pink heart sunglasses. (None of which are unusual for me anyway)
Here are some pinkies from my garden at work. (I have posted a pic of that peony here before)
