Comments (2)Thanks Jen Rick...See Morejet mist granite--please help!
Comments (18)jayhawk: Hope you see this before you head over there today. I brought DH over there yesterday to see the slabs and look for alternatives. My 2 slabs are on the front of the stack - they have my last name (Hill) written in sharpie on the top right edge. You'll have to get them to move the slabs to see the others. There are 6 there including mine (they told me 8 came in - I never got a chance to ask if there are 2 more). Again, from what I saw, they all look very similar. Also, I'm not sure if the Stone Collection requires reservations on Saturdays, but some of the stone yards do (I think Arizona does, for instance). If you get there early, you're probably ok. Our cabinets are not in either, but it sounds like we are a week or two ahead of you. Ours are scheduled to be installed the last week of May with granite templating the first week of June. I think the timing is pretty darn good if we want to attempt to both get our granite out of a total of 3 slabs. But - if you reserve slabs today, certainly reserve 2!! If we decide we can work this out and use 3, we can figure out which one of the 4 we have reserved we don't want to use. They will hold reserved slabs for 14 days. I'm going to give you my email (encoded), and if you'd like, go ahead and contact me via email and we can attempt to work out the 3 slab thing. My fabricator is Joel Csotty (his last name is not misspelled - it's pronounces soty with a long o) with Colorado Stonecrafters in Longmont. The Longmont location is a bummer if you want to be there when he lays the templates (I do!), but I think I only have to go up there once. He is my GCs favorite stone guy, and I've got to admit that I haven't checked out his work or anything, I just went on the GCs recommendation. He got me the jet mist here in CO and I won't abandon him for anything at this point - I feel I owe him a big one. I don't think he has a website - it's a pretty small operation (I did go up there one time to pick a couple of jet mist samples, on the way to skiing). Like you, I want honed and Joel will hone my pieces for me. Do you already have a fabricator you are working with? Here is the email encoding (sorry - I am gloriously spam-free and want to keep it that way). My first name is Linda and my middle name is Louise. My last name is earlier in this post. email is first name dot middle initial dot last name at comcast.net. No pressure for sure, but contact me by email if you want. They have lots of leathered cambrian black at the Stone Collection. We got a price group list from them when we were there yesterday and it says price category 4 (out of 5, then it goes to 'custom' and 'exotic'). Non-leathered cambrian black is cat 3. Jet mist is not on the list yet, so I don't know what cat it is. It seems that the Stone Collection leans toward the more dramatic/exotic granites and it might be that their prices are a little higher. I'm pretty sure I saw leathered Cam Blk at Arizona, too, which is not too far from Stone Collection. Might be cheaper there? Sorry for the long post - Hope your search goes well today!...See MoreQuotes 3- 15 - 17
Comments (2)The Irish Irish, compared to the American Irish, use the language differently. My husband's family on both sides was 2nd generation Irish. A good friend of ours was born in Ireland and immigrated when he was 18. He lost his accent, but when he talks, there is not doubt, hes sounds Irish. Like the quotes and the little bit of history which peaks through....See MorePlease talk to me about Harkness roses
Comments (22)I just realized that I DO grow at least one Harkness rose, ‘Penny Lane’. It’s a large flowered climber. I truly think Penny Lane would be much nicer in a cooler climate than mine. The sun is just SO harsh in So California. I only get the lovely blush colored blooms in the very early spring and occasionally in the very late fall/early winter. The rest of the year, its blooms fade instantly to an off- white color that quickly looks dirty and blows quickly. It has not been a prolific bloomer for me at all. It’s been in the ground here for at least 5 years. I have seen many lovely pictures of Penny Lane on HMF, so I think it’s a good rose. It’s just not a good rose in MY garden. It’s totally disease free, but again, I don’t get much disease other than powdery mildew and occasional rust. Penny Lane has never suffered from either one. HMF gives it an excellent rating for heat tolerance. The plant itself does just fine in my dry heat. The blooms, not so much. I know you didn’t ask about this one, but I just happened to notice that Penny Lane is a Harkness rose. It might do great for you, as it’s listed to zone 5b, and you’re much higher up than I am. The sun wouldn’t be nearly as intense, and Penny Lane would probably show the lovely apricot shade it has the potential to. Lisa...See MoreB R
