No question it's addictive. I was only going to try it with 12 half gallon milk jugs. Then Token sent me 20+ seed packs. Container count went up to 60. Then Gardencrazy, Connietn, just1morehosta, and several others sent me more. The winter went by so fast! I'm at 430 jugs and still going strong. Nearly 100 are already sprouted--Shasta daisy, rudbeckia, lupine, poppy, Cupid's dart, globeflower, mallow, geum, foxglove, feverfew...the list goes on and on.

opaone: Looks like my sensor collection is missing a component, even though my house is deliberately "leaky." Is this the IQAir [AirVisual Pro] Smart Indoor & Outdoor Air Quality Monitor [PM2.5, CO2, AQI, Temperature, Humidity]? How do you like it, and why did you select this brand? I have several. Of the consumer variety this and Foobot are generally the more accurate according to testing by Lawrence Livermore and others. I went through five IQAir's (testing against a borrowed lab meter) before settling on this one. All were fairly accurate but this one was the closest. Foobot was similar though I only went through three. I keep an IQAir and Foobot next to each other in our bedroom all the time and then have another IQAir that I move around wherever needed. I write about healthcare and population health and IAQ is an increasingly critical component.

The lucite frame is an interesting option. Not usually my style, but then again, neither is the painting. Right now I'm leaning towards a very simple wood "gallery" frame in a light to mid wood tone, not black as originally thinking. Not exactly like this, but just an idea ... This is probably more the color I have in mind ...

A mud pack shower is the easiest and cheapest way to create a non standard sized shower pan. The second easiest is a custom foam pan, that will tie in with the waterproofing system choice. https://builtwithfoam.com/product/custom-shower-base/ does those. The only cheap option is a cheap acrylic pan in a standard size. Those get cracks and fail and are just awful. The most important aspect of having a waterproof shower, is having a knowledgeable tile professional doing the job, and not a jackleg handyman. https://whytile.com/qualified-labor/ IF the person you chose cannot explain the waterpoofing system to you adequately, then that was the wron gperson to pick. The drain/membrane connection and wall/pan connection are the 2 keys to success. If you are doing curbles, the size and design of the curbless will be very important as to whether or not you need a complete waterproof wetroom , or to just extend the waterproofing into the room.
