UPDATE: Make New Friends: Mirth in the Manure Pile #2
Comments (151)Hey Guys, I've been gone for a while. It looks like I've got a lot of reading to catch up on. Ya'll have been having so much fun; I feel like I've missed out on a lot. My husband came home Monday after 3 weeks being gone and has been keeping me busy. I spent last weekend touring all the gardens of my daylily club members. Boy, do they put my yard to shame. I've only got one of them sized to upload so far. I'll try to get the rest of them done soon so I can share. This is what she called her children's garden. All the plants had names pertaining to kids. All the "candy" series of daylilies were planted around the pole house. Very, very cute. I particularly liked this little statue. Gotta go! Hubby is calling; I managed to sneak away long enough to get one post off anyways. Rox...See MorePLEASE Help... Layout Disaster.
Comments (30)I have to respectfully disagree...Bevangel's layout has the same change I proposed...changing the sliding door to a single door. The only difference is where the door is placed. More importantly, it also has one big "deal breaker" for me...the sink run! (Sorry, Bevangel!) (1) There's inadequate workspace around the sink...24" to the right (looking at the layout) is way too little considering there is none whatsoever to the left of the sink and (2) the DW opens into the DR doorway. [DW will take up approx 25" of wall space b/c you'll need at least an inch b/w the wall & the DW to clear the door frame, then you need at least 3" (preferably 6") b/w the outside door & the nearest cabinet at the other end, and a 1" overhang also at the end of the run...that leaves you with approx 29" - 32" of room for the sink base with no work space or buffer on the left side.] I also would want the door to swing the other way as right now the door and oven doors are at great risk...if either one opens into the other you risk breaking the glass of the other (or both!) With this kitchen, I think a range works better with the age of the house (1940). I also think it's a better use of space. Food & other storage as well as counterspace are at a premium in this size/configuration of a kitchen. I think a better use of a "tall cabinet" that takes away counterspace is a pantry cabinet. You could install an oven under the cooktop, but what's the point? The oven is closer to the floor than a range's oven would be and it's more expensive. If you argue that you could store food under the counter instead (b/c you've gained undercounter space), I'd argue that under counter food storage below the first drawer or so isn't as nice as over the counter or tall cabinets....but that's my opinion....See Moreafter a disaster: post fire or flood rebuilding
Comments (11)I have struggled through just this type of project. I was called to expertly assess and repair and replace the woodwork from a grand 3 story victorian home of a close friend. I was able to save a great deal, including their masterpiece hand carved, curved staircase. I (re?) developed techniques through the project to seal odor and reverse water stains in their 120 yr old quartersawn oak trim. Spraying down remaining structural woodwork (studs) with a solution of lemon juice and water, followed by a sealcoat of shellac (in a day or 2, after the lemon water dried) worked miracles to stop the smoke odor. Cleaning and restoring with the Old fashioned remedies of sunlight, lemons and shellac were far more effective than the slow, expensive hi-tech "ozone machines" recommended by the insurance co and servicemaster". In other words, saved the company MONEY! The citric acid in the lemons and volatile compounds in the real lemon peels actually worked with the tannic acids natural in oak (and many other hardwood trim woods) to neutralize and reverse color and chemical changes that were caused by charring, water stains and smoke. I could go on, but my point is : all may not be lost if there still remains some parts that make you feel like "home" restoration may be a viable option. Keep your spirits and your standards high. wish you the best, here to help, Reid...See MoreSupplements for achy joints and muscles
Comments (70)I had shin splints once, terries. Wow, is that painful. Funny but I had them at the same time I was recovering from carpal tunnel surgery and everyone kept commiserating about my hand. My hand didn’t hurt at all but my shins were killing me. I actually got them from standing in too high heels on a stone patio for hours. Wish I’d known about turmeric then. Impressive that you do the Camino every year!...See Moreratherbesewing
