What about these seeds... now or later??
Comments (2)Lisa, All the ones you posted are fine. Penstemon might be helped by the cool temps we are still having. In terms of the poppies, I just placed some perennial ones out the other day and plan on sowing annual ones this week. They can be done anytime in the winter sowing season - they are tough buggers. But I can see your dilemna. A couple of years ago I sowed a few containers and not one came up. No idea what happened. Best of luck!...See MoreSpare no expense now vrs. easy to add later

Here are my prices on these upgrades 1 swg 1100.00 now 1500.00 after construction 2 I don't do solar 3 chlorinator, A Rainbow 320 should be in your standard purchase price, if not demand one now for no additional charge. 4 Digital Controls, 300.00 labor during construction, 750.00 labor to change a time clock to a digital controller. Plus you've already paid for the time clock and installation labor once before. Factoring this aspect alone your paying 2 1/2 times more than you could do it tomorrow for.

Comments (4)Natural wood goes with pretty much anything. And the floors will be THROUGHOUT the home...the kitchen will be in one area (I know...Captain Obvious needed a First Mate so I volunteered). The WHOLE HOME look is far more important than a single room. Most people have a 'dream' kitchen in their head. That dream will be modified by the house they find themselves in and the location and the lighting and the budget...but usually there is a COMMON theme going on in their heads. So my question becomes, "If you lived in a perfect world, what would you choose as your dream kitchen?" Is it white? Dark/Black? Fantastic counters or low-key? Is there colour or is it monochromatic? Mine would be either high-gloss red cabinets (no hardware) with CRISP white marble counters (I know...marble....but I love it and I don't care how it will look after spilling pasta sauce on it) and SS appliances with natural wood floors (propably a narrow plank birch). Or White (sleek and modern) with some stunning counter top with natural wood floors... Either way my choice is MODERN. And the colour will be dictated by availability of red cabs AND my budget. If I can't fit/find either, then white it is! So...what I'm trying to point out is this: figure out what you LOVE and move towards it. It will be modified many times but be OK with it. If you LOVE dark cabinets, then you will need to work with some sort of contrast (like light wood floors). If you love WHITE ON WHITE ON WHITE for a kitchen then perhaps a deeper coloured floor would work best (Provincial is stunning with white). And that brings me to my next point...if you are going to do piece-meal renovations, then make sure you take the time to put together a FINAL look for your home (kitchen decision re: colours schemes) and then work towards it. By putting together a story board for your home you will save yourself THOUSANDS of dollars of 'wrong' purchases (some people cannot give up a 'good deal'...which leads them to several 'bad choices' because they can't leave the 'deal' a the store). Make your plans FIRST and then purchase/install product....See MoreShould I build an attached garage Now and then a home addition Later
Comments (7)My 2 cents... I would not do it with an attached garage... You are just going to be overbuilding the garage and wasting money when you build the house. In other words, the cost of building an attached garage with a house will be significantly less than the cost of building a garage and later attaching a house to it. Aside from the cladding, you also have mechanical and electrical systems that you are going to plan and install with the ADU and that are largely going to have to be redone. The rentals that you get over the next seven years probably will not even cover the marginal cost. ---- This is a little different if you are doing a detached or semi-detached garage. However, you are still going to be overbuilding the garage to make this an efficient idea. You are going to have to plan where your plumbing will enter the house when completed. If you are on a septic system you should plan and/or install the entire system now, etc. Having a livable space on site while you construct a home can help with expenses, but having a ADU that you are renting to alleviate some of the cost is probably not as effective. Good luck....See More- 4 years ago
