wanna hear my good news and bad news?
Comments (16)Karyn now you"re talking. SO good to read that YOU got good weather. It is about time that you can work OUTSIDE the greenhouse. :-) I just walked around....My heart is heavy. It is worse that I imagined. This is my 1st hailstorm I remember that damaged the garden as it did. I guess I always missed out on the bad ones with moving around a lot lol Had rescued a banana plant from the sales rack at Lowes. That poor thing I swear looked dead just like Caren's. It had grown TWO layers of leaves ready to get big ....well the hole plant looks worse then your banana plant Caren. thanks dweep. I am glad this is my first and PLEASE the last one. I know I am dreaming again :-( Chocolate Brug, you sure know how to bring sunshine in my day! That is such a beauty! Oh I was just thinking what hail would do to a Plumeria and that reminded me of the succulents in the wheelbarrow that REALLY made me cry. But now I have unique succulents I am sure only I got lol What a way to get one of a kinds. Mary Jane I sure hope that you play it safe with this storm and going to games :-( I hope for your sake that by then you do not have no more storm!! For the rest that were able to *rescue* your plants before the storms comes. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! Next time they say we get hail...guess what I will try to do! Not that I would move my DH's car out from the carport rofl. But SHED here we come AGAIN lol Man even the cellphones did not work during the storm. I tried to call hubby and warn him to take his beloved car somewhere under a cover. Before they put a fence around the building he works in, he used to drive it right in the building. Well I had to plug my regular phone back up and call him. I sure hope his car is ok or I will see a grown man cry today Here comes the rain again. Let me go and close this and the doors Lucy...See MoreGood news on my house....finally (long)
Comments (49)Leslie, I don't have a house....that's just it. When we bought the land, there was no house. We built a building, 24 x 36 to hold my husband shrimping stuff and welding machine, tool, etc. Had plans drawn to build a house. Then had a very traumatic incident in our lives that ended up costing us $60,000 and at the same time, daughter getting ready to go to college and shrimping going downhill more every season. When the traumatic incident was resolved, I was so broke...in every sense of the word...that all I wanted to do was get away from everyone. My husband was working every day, trying to get back to even, and so when our daughter left to go to college, I moved here, and moved into the building. I had lights, but no water. I have lived the past 10 years with no kitchen, no decent bathroom, nothing. We framed up inside the building and made rooms and planned to make it into a house, but never had the money to do anything past that. For a year and a half, we lived in an old RV that someone gave us, but it started leaking so bad that sealing it, tarping it, and doing everything you can think of, did no good, so I moved back into the "shop". I'm not trying to illicit sympathy about my situation. We turned down a half a million dollars for this property. I could live in any kind of house I wanted...but if I had to live close to people, you might as well shoot me. And, I would live under a tree before I would leave this place...mainly because I have big time issues with privacy. I can tell you every detail of my life...that doesn't bother me, but if I walk outside and see another living soul, I am stressed. Sooo, my husband went to school to get his tow boat license, and now he has a good job, and we have money again. So, we have saved since he started it in May to go on a house....See MoreOur new house is finished! My white kitchen...
Comments (112)Nini - on your first post, you said you'd do a separate post about honed and polished marble. Pros and cons to both. Have you done that and if not, would you do one or send me an email. We have chosen statuetto white marble for our island and I plan to go with honed (after testing polished). I'd like to hear your experiences. Thanks!...See MoreGood news, bad news. My troubled tree.
Comments (10)No, I don't think I solved anything, but I do think the suggestion of pulling the grass away from the tree is helpful, it was a mat of dead wet grass right up against it and the one side of the trunk base (the north side) had some green algae. I had some copper fungus spray I had just bought and sprayed that on the green and today the green is gone! when I pulled up the grass on the ground I was able to see some of the tree's thick roots so letting it breath a little more will hopefully be good while we head into our rainy season. (it has rained twice today). I I am not going to put any mulch down now since I am trying to see if letting the ground breath and dry more is helpful plus with it being summer I think trying to get rid of the grass by hand would be a losing battle, I'll keep raking the area trying to get a little more dirt away from the base and then in the winter I can put down newspaper and mulch, just hope we don't have a wet winter like last year....See Moremorz8 - Washington Coast
