please give me feedback on my plans for setup
Comments (11)Hello, I used to grow under Florescent lights, But have changed to HID there is a bit of a cost difference but its worth it in my case. Anyhow with respect to your question about Paphs and the humidity levels, I have a grow room that I maintain in the 70 up to 85% relative humidity, I drop the humidity when the lights are off but raise it again in the start of the light cycle. I use a ultra sonic humidifier that I got at a home center that has a humid level control on it. I think I paid some where around $40.00 for it. And my Room is 12 feet by 14 feet. All you need to do is watch the Media that your plants are growing in and see if its drying faster or slower then the plants like. I grow in Clay pots,,, It takes a little more watering but it helps keep the media a little more even on how fast it dries out. As for the lights DonÂt go cheap with Orchids. As there going to hurt your feelings if they start to Sulk, Anyhow enjoy and good luck, I am able to grow and bloom VandaÂs and Cats in the same room as My Paph. rothschildianum , you just have to move them according to the light requirements. Good luck Forrest...See MoreOpportunity for ya'll to get a bunch of daylily hybrids cheap
Comments (4)Hey squirrelypete, I'll see you at the AL swap. I'm in Bham now but I still lurk here since I came from GA. Anyway, the AL swap os May 20th at Oak Mtn State Park. People generally don't sell things, preferring to swap stuff, but it doesn't have to be other plants. I'm swaping one lady a needlepoint kit for some of her plants. It's best to just contact the individual people and see if you can work something out. Most people are generous, especially to newbies. Michelle H...See MorePlease give me feedback on my Cabinet Plan
Comments (4)I think the layout looks good but have a suggestion for the MW cabinet. Someone... a long time ago on here... put a hinged piece (like a piano hinge) that flipped up where she could store flat pans. So imagine you MW opening being the same as it is now, then what looks like a piece of molding that would be about the same depth as the hood molding piece, and then your doors would align with the other uppers. It was a brilliant tweak. I wish I could remember who it was....See MoreCan you give me feedback on kitchen choices?
Comments (11)You are all so great to stick with me on this project. The backsplash is the chickadees, not the bunnies...although one small one might make an appearance. I like ML's idea about putting it where I trim the carrots and cabbage! LOL The piano was inspired by the idea that a friend might have to find a home for hers...which didn't happen, so I'm starting to have second thoughts about that. It looks wonderrful in the plan, but as Nancy points out...may not work well in real life, especially in the sunroom. Also found out the idea of taking the wall down between the kitchen/dining room and making it one big space may not work, either. Some concern that changing the dining room into the kitchen will alter memories too much...and I can understand that. While it is our house, when you're dealing with family homes, I believe some consideration of everyone's input is important. In the end, we'll build what we want and what suits our lifestyles, but this is a relevant point. As I've mentioned earlier, a bit of local history in that dining room...so not unrealistic that maybe I should leave that as the dining room and put the kitchen behind it (as it is now). So, this has trashed my overall plan a bit, but growth is all about taking the best of what you have and letting go of what isn't/doesn't work, right? So, I've been trying to make lemonade out of lemons (love that phrase) and gone back to an earlier layout. I changed the kitchen just a bit, to reflect my growing admiration for Laura Calder's kitchen (French Cooking at Home). I adore her prep area...seriously, it's my favorite kitchen and I really need more space. Somehow, I didn't make that a big priority before, but after watching a bit of a marathon over the weekend, I really want to have a huge prep space. As ML keeps reminding me, there needs to be plenty of space to do the projects and recipes that one needs to do on a farm :) While I love the big sunroom, I really have always wanted the wood stove in the kitchen (very farm like) so I thought this would be the time to make that change. It leaves me a much smaller sunroom, but stil big enough for a few wicker chairs and an ottoman, space for a star jasmine or two, maybe a small orange tree...and doors to keep the kitties out, so they don't chew on my plants! LOL Also, I really want two bathrooms downstairs. Being on a farm, when there's a plumbing problem, you really need a back up. Since we may not finish the upstairs right away, I put the master bath back into the the plan. I think this made my husband very happy, so I should have done this before. So, here's the plan, with a window seat in the dining room, with shelves on both sides...for dishes, books, etc. Also has more bookshelves in the living room and a nice long one in the kitchen, against the stair wall. The fridge and double ovens are on one wall (very Laura Calder) witht the microwave on the shelf, in between. The sink is under five feet of windows (with the farm sink on the other side, in the laundry room) and there are upper cabinets above the rest of that counterspace. The cooktop is in the island, with a vent and maybe pot rack above (need a few copper pots) and all that lovely prep space. I want to have the prep space be wood, with the other countertops (including on both sides of the cooktop) be the honed granite. The storage area under the prep area (sink side) will be 18" deep, with plenty of room for stools on the other side. I wanted something a big shallower, than the standard 24" deep base cabinets, so it's easier to reach smaller items, like mixing bowls, cake pans, the hand mixer, etc. The wood stove is in the corner with a small table and chairs in the other corner. So, there you have it, my "Plan B" with a few modifications. Don't know if I've posted this before, but I think it will work well and keep the dining room intact. Also, let me get a much better kitchen (IMHO) than the one in the other plan. All the same finishes in the kitchen, including the vinyl 'brick' floors, which will also be in the sunroom, laundry and mud room. Thanks for all your help and please let me know what you really think. I don't want to bother Summerfield, again, until I know this plan will work :)...See More- 6 years ago
