Help in putting up greenhouse
Comments (1)Hi Diane, I'm not close to Newmarket, but could help describe the project better. To figure out how or what kind of foundation to use, you'll need to know the dimensions of the greenhouse and what are the materials it's made from. That will tell you the weight of the structure (wood or metal frame, plastic or glass walls). Also what would he like the floor to be cement, dirt, interlock. Does he plan to heat it through the winter (frost)? Will there be plants permanently planted in the ground inside it, like a fig or banana tree? Is it for personal use or high traffic? Plus usually if a structure is over 100 square feet you need a permit too if you're in a city. If it's not too big he may just be able to pour a cement pad floor for it to sit on. 4 inches of grave then 4-5 inches of concrete. Hope this helps...See MoreHelp please: what do I put on dining room wall?
Comments (83)Maybe I should have started a new thread for the "After" photos to make this easier. oh well :) loribee, gsciencechick, msrose: thank you! If others have further advice, I'm all ears. I said no to a rug, but I'm keeping my eyes open if one (that looks easily cleanable) really wants to come home with me. msrose: the floor is a pre-finished, handscraped hickory. With two big dogs, "rustic" was the only direction we were comfortable going with hardwood floors. The floors are from a small company called, "Lewis & Clark." (I think it's only available regionally.) Yes, the floor IS dark enough to show dust in direct lighting (same with my black countertop... I can't tell it is dusty until the sun is setting and the light hits it just right.) The floors show wet paw prints, when they dry, in any lighting! We have a patio cover that eliminates a lot of the direct lighting in our great room, so I rarely can see the floors are dusty. I would use lighter floors if the rooms had direct lighting all day!...See Morepicked up a curb mirror - should I put it back?
Comments (29)Lars -- do you mean the grain texture is easier to see? I am also considering painting it gloss black, would that have the same grain issue? I dont particularly like the box detail, so plan to cover them with plywood as others suggested prior to painting, then adding brass hooks (less nooks to dust). Even if we left the boxes intact and hung them at the top, it reminds me of a dresser mirror. Might seem out of place in the entry. However, the age is right for our house, built in 1978 ;-)...See Moreneed help on what modern art or mirror to put on wall
Comments (6)So, what speaks to you? Look for that. Don't buy online; buy from local artists. Don't rush into it; you'll know it when you see it. Make the search part of your recreation time. This is your home. The worst thing you can do is put up something that's more suited to a dentist's office just to fill space. You don't want mediocre, commercial, non-descript stuff. What you hang there should speak about you and your family. And no mirror unless it reflects something worth looking at....See MoreHome Interiors with Ease
