Landscape Design Forum FAQ - Improved
Comments (7)While I think that the "FAQ" as outlined by swanoir was presented tongue in cheek ('the humus'), many of the subsequent comments and/or links to threads that could/should be included in a FAQ were presented in a more serious tone. And maybe they do make sense as a foundation to a real LD forum FAQ. But I've also sensed something else in these comments that may contribute to the apparent lack of communication between new posters seeking advice and those that regularly frequent this forum and offer it. And that is that the long checklist provided by Miss R must be (or should be) answered in detail before posting. Well, of course not! But it is definitely something worth reviewing and giving some thought to. This checklist, or something very similar, is what most designers utilize when first meeting with a prospective client. It gives them a feeling for what the client wants to do with the property, how they intend to use it, what they hope to get out of it and how much effort (time/$$) are they are intending to put into it. Hopefully, reviewing an outline or checklist such as this could help to refine and focus some of those blank slate questions and even educate those new posters totally unfamiliar with the process the degree of complexity, the number of variables and exactly what is involved in the formulation of a landscape design. Even DIY landscape texts intended for the homeowner with no previous design or landscaping experience offer similar checklists to get one started thinking about the process. Obviously, this is overkill for those questions that are more issue-specific, but I think very appropriate for those that are much broader and far less focused....See Morebathroom tile FAQ's
Comments (64)I changed the entrance of my shower tub. The panel board was moldy; water was getting in between the top tiles and the panel board. the joint was not well sealed. I put new everything for the entrance, even a membrane between the plywood and the tiles. However, it seems to leak from the wall now. Water is coming out of the wall outside the shower tub. Would it be the grout, tiles...? Tiles and grout are probably 20+ yrs old ( turquoise tiles). I tried to put some ready grout ( in a tube), but it still leaks! Calking is well done. Should I remove the old grout and put new one everywhere? Thanks for your help!...See MoreIs this a real eye color
Comments (23)jemdandy That made me laugh. I believe I may have had mascara on that day ;) I do have long eye lashes though. I don't wear make up that often but if do I cannot put mascara on my bottom lashes or I'll look like Twiggy. Jasdip - I never know what to call it either. I call it hazel but I don't know if that's right or not. I mean I also say that my husband and 2 of my sons have gray eyes and that's not even an eye colour. LOL I do know that what you wear will change how your eyes appear. When I wear green they actually look a little more green. I don't think they really changed up like that when I was a kid though. They were dark, dark brown. I always used to tan really dark every summer (but pale rest of year) and my hair would go almost dark blond when I was really young. A real Heinz 57 of genetics. I never burned back then except the one time at the beach when my mom gave me coco oil to put on my skin. Still remember that 30 years later. LOL My dad used to get really dark every summer and would often get asked if he was Native. Here's a pic of me as a kid sitting on a dark brown sofa. I almost blend in. The picture quality is horrible and it makes me look like I have a giant mouth. I wish I did, but it's just the picture. And it was the 1980's which is why all the neon. This whole changing eye colour made me a little curious about it. .Changing eye colour, "does so for 10 to 15% of the normal Caucasian population. These people's eyes change slowly over many years after they reach adolescence. "Some eyes become darker, but most become lighter with increasing age," says Richard A. Sturm, a Principal Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. And yes, Bryan, hazel eyes do change color. Hazel eyes as well as any lighter eyes usually darken with age. Hazel eyes are light brown or yellowish brown. " This study only looked at Caucasians....See MoreQuotes 10 - 10 - 17
Comments (2)This one really resonates with me: Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.
