Landscaping advice greatly appreciated!
Comments (7)Although not specifically addressed to your project: Most novices who desire some privacy automatically take a quantum leap to either a fence or a hedge. Although there may be times for the incorporation of these items, far too often these default choices are not the best choice. Typically, installation of these items overwhelms and unwittingly (and usually undesirably) becomes the most dominating feature of the landscape. This introduces a whole series of additional problems which now need to be addressed. If one gets to the root of the original problem, there are usually only select areas that need to be blocked in order to achieve the desired goal. Instead of a solid fence surrounding the entire perimeter, perhaps only a section or two installed in strategic locations - and that does NOT automatically mean on the property perimeter - would suffice. In addition, those sections could be also be staggered. Staggering will block the line-of-sight but yet allow physical passage. There will, of course, be times and conditions when a full fence is required. However, installing a visual "cattle stockade" need not be the automatic choice. Things to consider ...

Comments (8)Nancy: There was some string algae on the rocks of the waterfall late last summer but I removed it manually. The algae in the pond now is on the rocks and a fuzzy green. I would rather not use any chemicals on it so I think I will try to remove some with a brush and a fine sieve until the plants take over. There are 2 types of water lillies, a miniature cattail (bullrushes?) and an underwater plant that reminds me of the branch of an evergreen tree (I actually thought one fell in at first!) Thank you for the tips on the pump. I will check the impeller and the GFCI to see if that popped once the rain lets up here! Sandy: I have attached a photo link. The pond is small, roughly 6 feet wide by 10 feet long and about 12 inches deep by the waterfall area (about a 4x6 foot section.) The remainder is about 16-18 inches deep. I'm not sure how many gallons it holds but once I get the pump out I'll hopefully be able to tell you the size of that. I unplugged the pump in the fall when it stopped. Hopefully a clogged impeller and/or triggered GFCI are the only problems. Hopefully I can get the pump out tomorrow. The rain is supposed to ease up. I will post when I know more. Thanks so much for your help with this! Bren Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreKitchen Layout Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated!
Comments (22)LWO's layout is better on all counts. The zones are more separated and none have crossing path conflicts. Yours all do. And a corner sink you're suggesting is a huge pain. It's the choice of last resort for a tiny kitchen. Yours is anything but that. Why do you "need" uppers on either side of the range hood? Your inspiration pic doesn't have them and it looks fine. You can fit everything you need for spices etc. into lower cabinets. Especially with that continent in the middle of the space. The island is too large proportionately to the rest of the kitchen and it dwarfs even the 48" range. It needs to become shorter, but especially, shallower. You'll never be able to clean the middle of it unless you use a sponge mop otherwise. If a drive towards that functionality killer "symmetry" is driving these non functional layouts, then you need to drop back and actually analyze the two window layout. It will be very easy to make the range the symmetrical focal point between two windows, even if it's not perfectly centered on that back wall. Add in a built in MW cabinet to the counter next to the fridge. Then the range will be perfectly centered between the remaining space between the tall objects and the wall to the right. I'd also suggest centering the cleanup sink on the wall to the left since that appears to be important visually to you. It's not clear as to whether or not the wall to the right is a solid wall or merely a construction line. If a construction line, it could add some interest to create the arched opening that is in the pic with the range on the exterior wall. That adds in some visual separation that will help to define the space, yet allow it to remain physically open. Remember, "centering" isn't the same thing as symmetry. Balance, proportion, positive space and negative space, also factor into the equation as well. You're getting hung up on "matchy matchy" centering, and that's detracting from the functionality, and also the true balance of the elements in the space. Or maybe jettison this home plan entirely in favor of something that has more overall style emphasis on equilateral symmetry such as a center hall Colonial or Foursquare....See MoreReplace unit or just compressor advice would be greatly appreciated
Comments (4)They must always explain to you precisely what the compressor problem is, plus show you; a generalized statement is NOT acceptable! A lot of condemned compressors when sent back to the mfg'er for warranty turn out to be okay. His statements sound fishy to me......See MoreHU-208805289
