Update: the months after move-in
Comments (5)Tony, I just love the way you describe everything. You really get your feelings of excitement across. It motivates me when I read your posts. Once again, our tastes and styles are matching up. We are putting a movie room in our basement too. We are just in the planning stages but it looks like it will be in the same location as yours. What size is yours? What kind of tv is that? Are you happy w/ the picture? Who usually wins when you play darts? I stink at it, but I try. :) The tractor, wow! My dh would give his left arm for one of those. We are going to wait a while for that. I'm sure it makes clearing the land easier and fun. "It's been a nightmare to keep the red dirt out of the house." I feel your pain. That red clay is impossible to get off our basement floor. Being in our new home is better than I could have ever imagained. All of the things I worried so much about seem so silly now....See MoreNeed Help Moving Files from C Drive to 2nd internal hard drive?
Comments (9)Thanks everyone. Lots of useful methods. Mikie - it's good to know about moving entire folders (I don't have my video's in folders - yet - but am just discovering how useful that would be for shows I've recorded for a few seasons - having them altogether). I'd like to double check and ask what "a cmd window" is - and how I'd get there. Again - I have Windows XP (SP3). Sorry to say, Mikie, but I also need more explanation for what "make a shortcut to the destination , within the folder the files are in... then select a bunch of what I want to move, cut&paste onto the shortcut" means. I know someday I'll understand all of this, but I don't know how to make a shortcut to the destination. And once I cut and paste onto the shortcut, what do I do with it? Absolutely there are some big files - so I'm glad to told me to break it up into smaller chunks. I have so far. Thank you.

Comments (15)If it died it could just be a coincidence. Was it outside in February? It got down to -1 on February 14 in NYC, which is too cold for exposed grafts to survive. https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KNYC/2016/2/16/MonthlyCalendar.html?req_city=New%20York&req_state=NY&req_statename=&reqdb.zip=10001&reqdb.magic=1&reqdb.wmo=99999 Worst winter weather I've seen since I started growing roses in 2001. But, because I bury the grafts I only lost one miniflora out of 200+ roses--might have survived if I planted it deeper--but who thinks about that when planting own root roses?...See MoreMoving from standalone range to built-in oven - single, double, MW?
Comments (14)“The challenge then becomes with the microwave” I have my microwave on a shelf in my pantry. I had the electrician put an outlet in there. The shelf is about waist-high. Perfect for us, as we are not frequent MW users, we just use it a bit. Microwave ovens are pretty fugly; I don’t want to see it in my kitchen that I designed so carefully. You should never get a built-in MW. Microwave ovens aren’t built for longevity these days. Best to get an inexpensive countertop MW that you can just unplug when it breaks and replace with a new one. If you can’t put it in your pantry, put it on a shelf like your builder said....See Morehomechef59
