Is adding 2nd feeder worth it?
Comments (3)If I had lots of flowers up close where I could see the hummers, I would go that route. I only put the feeders up to watch the birds. If a feeder is in the sun or it is a bowl type with the entire surface exposed to the elements thru the feeding holes, then it might have to be changed every 2-3 days. A hummer will not drink soured sugar water, they will however go to someone elses feeder. Bottle feeders do not expose more than the diameter of each hole to the elements. I expected to get drunk on some nectar that I had left while on a 2 week vacation, but I took a big gulp and it was very sweet just like fresh made. While I might change my feeders on a weekly basis, it's hard to tell someone else that because I don't know if the feeders are in the sun or if they were very clean when filled, etc. I try to have enough out for the birds to last 5-7 days. If the nectar gets bad, the birds will leave; they will not stick around. Now this has only happened to me on a vacation or two when it did turn sour or maybe when I was sick....See MoreWhat do you think this is worth?
Comments (10)In that era (or maybe somewhat later) they sometimes veneered over solid wood. The old teachers' desks, for example, and a lot of traditional furniture are made that way. You would see from one edge that the construction is laminated-together strips of wood, but from the top it looks like one solid board. It may indeed be built of solid wood though, in which case you will, however, find joints in the wood. I'd seriously doubt this was built of really one board - what would those tops require, 18 inch wide wood? In real antiques you'll find that, but this is not that old or that special. The final factor determining the price it what it's worth to you, including what your idea is of the final product, what that will be worth, what it will take to get it there, and whether you actually need such a piece. If you desperately want it, then you pay a price to secure it regardless of its market value. If you're willing to walk away, you offer on the low side and let her see if she can get a better offer. I wouldn't be surprised to see this in the free listings either if someone was in a hurry to get rid of it. But I could also imagine paying maybe $100 if it were something I totally and completely loved. Cruise antique and used stores in your area to get a better idea. It could, by the way, also be painted. This doesn't strike me as wood that it would be a sin to cover up. KarinL...See MoreDitra membrane worth the money?
Comments (12)What do you think, is Ditra worth the money? It's a good product but there is much better preforming options with less thin-set restrictions. Why not prepare the floors with Ardex 8+9? The cost is lower and Ardex 8+9 is also rated as a crack isolation membrane where Ditra is not. Ardex 8+9 is waterproof as well without all the banding work Ditra requires. ARDEX 8+9: Concrete sub floor This is the first coat of Ardex 8+9 over a concrete sunroom floor here in Vancouver. Crack isolation membranes should measure three times the length of the tile. Most crack isolation membranes are between 3'-6'. Since this room will get a 3' wide tile I needed one huge sheet. This is where the cementious memebrane from Ardex excels. I also like that there is no voids under the membrane for little silver fish bugs to crawl around in and make homes. I find silver fish a problem in many Vancouver high rise condo's and try and stop them from making new homes on my projects. Does your answer change if we install slate rather than porcelain? All the more reason to use Ardex or NobleSeal CIS. Both those tile choices will want to see a modified thin-set used....See MoreDo you know what this might be worth?
Comments (1)Brutuses, I think you made the right offer. I got to auctions and they get between 25 and 50 for the sewing machine base. Good luck!!...See More
