Help Me! Clematis driving me nuts!
Comments (7)BabyWatson..you didn't say which ones you have...I am assuming they are pruning group 2s which can be finicky and slow to get started..Might I suggest you try the Viticellas..the pruning group 3s..sounds like you are doing everything right..but I find that all these sites that say full sun can be misleading..especially for warmer zones like myself..they can grow just beautifully in 6 hours of sun and therefore my best ones get the morning sun and shaded from the hot evening sun..those I have in more intense sun need watering more...they can also just disappear...wilt?..and then pop back up with more vigor..it's all about their root system..if it does wilt..just prune back to the ground..but don't forget to keep watering if nothing is there...Jeanne ps..I can't grow Fuschia either..too hot here...trust me I have killed about 3 trying to grow them...I either overwater or something.......See MoreCat litter stinks -driving me NUTS!!!!
Comments (26)I have 4 cats. Everyone is amazed at the lack of odor. You can't even tell that I have them (ok, there *is* some fur on the couch) :-) I have 4 litterboxes. I use Swheat Scoop litter, and I remove the clumps every other day, and clean the entire box every 2 months (please never use ammonia for this). I've had cats for 38 years & Swheat Scoop works the best to control the odor. In the past, when I have fed medium-quality foods lke Iam's, Science Diet, etc, their poop was MUCH stinkier. Now that they eat a commercial prepared healthy raw diet - zero smell! It's so odd. Please don't even consider feeding anyone that junk they sell in the supermarket. One look at the label with prove that - fillers like corn, wheat hulls, flour, sugar - it's ridiculous what some companies get away with putting a bag & calling "food". Think about a wild feline - do they eat corn? Flour? No! They hunt,and eat meat. I highly recommend a raw diet, and a better cat litter. Think about what you eat & how it affects you. The same goes for your pets. Cats make wonderful pets & wonderful friends. They deserve the best you can afford! :-) As far as any mess outside the box, again, having cats for 38 years, the absolute best product I have found is Simple Solution. I had a senior kitty who had a lot of accidents...daily...and in my *living room*. Oh boy! However, Simple Solution completely got rid of the smell. It's an enzyme which literally *eats* the urine, so it's 100% gone!...See MoreHelp! Ugly load-bearing beam driving me nuts.
Comments (16)I would definitely snap a better photo of the beam in question and the space as a whole when you can. Everyone here has such great ideas as long as you give them the fodder. And now that I've compared us all to cows, I will offer suggestions based on the little I can see. You could drywall around it as mentioned above. You could paint it the same as the ceiling. You could do a wood veneer in a stain of your choice to keep a more rustic look. You know it has to stay, so design around it and then when you get your pretty new kitchen installed, it might not even bother you anymore. It might help to post what look you're going for in your new kitchen... Inspiration photos or materials etc. Also, you said it's getting in the way of your reno... Do you just mean aesthetically or are you changing the layout of the kitchen? Also, I used to live in Kalispell too!...See MoreHelp! Disposal sheild driving me NUTS!
Comments (56)I work in the plumbing industry and sell garbage disposers. I've heard of this issue with multiple brands of disposers (non-batch feed type.) At first I thought it was due to a poor venting system after customer switched to a single bowl versus an old double bowl sink, since water is able to drain more rapidly with the 2nd drain venting air. I believe this could still be a factor, but have learned that most manufacturers have made their baffle more stiff and with a smaller center hole. The easy way to fix this problem is to simply cut the hole in the baffle a little larger or cut one section off the baffle. This will allow the air flow and water to drain. I do not recommend to remove the baffle completely because it does have a purpose: to help keep unwanted items from falling into the sink, to prevent debris flying out of the disposer while in use and also to deaden the sound....See Morealways1stepbehind
