Cover for pots of paperwhites
Comments (3)I wasn't sure what paperwhites were. Had to do a search to find out they are flowers. When I read that the containers were terra cotta pots, I should have figured that one out...lol. How big are the pots and how many? What about foil gift wrapping paper? That is what I would try....See MoreLooking to build new covered patio over my existing deck...
Comments (1)Structural support is important. Roof must be able to support snow load (if applicable in your area which means beam size determined by span and slope) or strong winds. All support beams to deck should transmit load directly over beams from deck to ground. House attachment does not carry load well unless attached to vertical posts or into house wall joist. Sample graphics suggest posts against house wall to carry roof --if so that is good with house attachment serving primarily to stiffen against sideways wind load. Since there are no diagonal trusses on post make sure there are cross pieces on bottom of roof section to limit flexing on side wind(twisting to collapse horizontal box)...See MoreShould I cover my new hardwoods with a rug?
Comments (61)I remember when you got those new sofas and how much I loved them. Now, with your beautiful wood flooring, everything is looking super! I feel a rug would go nicely, there. You have already received lots of good advice & suggestions from other posters. I'll throw in another option for you to consider. For my home, I've used washable Latex backed rugs from JCPenney. I know many people will cringe at the mention of Latex backing in contact with wood floors. I've heard that some factory pre-finished floors will be fine with these (Latex backed) types of rugs. I'm keeping a close eye as the months go by and so far (it's been 1 year), all is good. My floors are engineered wood by Lauzon. These rugs are not as plush as other more expensive rugs, but they are fine for me. I have not had the need to wash them, yet. When I do, I'll try the smaller one (5'x8' family room) first and see how it goes. I'll use a commercial front load "mega capacity" washer & then hang to dry. The 8 x 10 living room may just need to be washed by hand/hose in the backyard one sunny day. If you have a JC Penney near by, rugs can be returned if you don't like them. Also, don't pay full price! JCP always has sales. My 5 x 8 Double Border rug was $170, the 8x10 Majestic Scroll was $220 (including tax & free ship). The fibers are Nylon and they are made in the U.S.A. These rugs are not absorbing dirt hardly at all. My Olefin fiber rug in the entry (ordered from an online rug store) became dirty looking after only 3 months : ( I also do not like the feel of the Olefin rug. Pictured below is the 8 x 10 JCPenney Majestic Scroll rug (color: Sand) in my living room. I don't have a coffee table or ottoman, yet. This open space is where grand baby practices rolling over & his toddler cousin builds Lego creations : ) Here is a link that might be useful: JCPenney Rugs...See MoreNow I need a good cover for new Paperwhite??
Comments (16)When I got my phone, about 14 mos. ago, I got a fairly substantial "Otter Box" with it, priced at about 50 bucks, the salesperson said, but I paid for it with store-issued loyalty card, which offered a large bunch of points as bonus for signing up for the tablet, and had a few left over. "Otter Box, designed for Samsung" (mine is Galaxy A8). Commuter on-the-go protection. Otterbox since 1998. Certified drop protection. Dust protection. OTTERBOX.COM 209 S. Meldrum St., Fort Collins, CO 80521. Can see more info at "/warranty" and "/givingback", "Inspiring kids to change the world". When I bought milk in the drug store today, at full price (forgot to get it on Seniors' Thursday: 20% discount) a big sign said "$_____ bonus if over 200,000 points, $140.00 (I think was the no.) if over 100,000 points ... and and $(???) if over (50,000. ?)". My points are over 122,824, so will have to check that out! It's connected to a grocery chain, as well so I'm eligible to get $122. worth of products, as I understand it. ole joyful...See Moreseagrass_gw Cape Cod
