Need some fill for a large raised bed, where to get some?
Comments (2)Trust is the problem. It helps to know the source or at least to know someone who has had good experiences with the source. FYI, there are construction contractors that occasionally give away "clean fill" but there is no way to easily know how clean it really is and what is "clean" for one purpose might not seem so "clean" for another. If you need any old dirt in a hurry that would do but I think you want something with more assurances than that. Some contractors also scrape off the top soil when starting a new development and sell it which might be a way for you to get some good soil but, of course, leaves the new homeowners with lousy soil....See MoreI need some help getting started
Comments (4)Do you know what you like? Have you found anything that has really grabbed you? If you're not sure what you want, I'd recommend looking through GW posts, magazines and the Internet (google or yahoo image searches) and find out what really appeals to you. Is there a color or wood you're drawn to? A countertop that you love? A picture of the perfect living room (with lots of windows, or Christmas tree, by the fireplace)? After a while, you'll notice a pattern. Certain colors or styles will keep ending up in your saved pictures. Maybe you love granite with lots of 'movement' or want something very simple and 'quiet' for a countertop. Do you love glass tile backsplashes, subway tile, beadboard, or something like stainless steel? There are so many choices, but usually, you can narrow it down, pretty quickly. Most people have their biggest challenge, if both parties don't like the same style, countertop, flooring, etc. As for order, there are all kinds of logical ways of doing it, but I always end up finding the fabric, tile, or maybe a countertop that you really love and build the room around it. Sarah Richardson's farmhouse episodes (on HGTV website) show how she picks fabrics first, uses neutral finishes and puts together some really beautiful rooms, IMHO :)...See Morestill learning windows 7 need some help
Comments (15)Snidely, thanks for your help. Thank you for the nice photo of the view of the little arrow you were speaking of. Normally, the files have a blue icon with a crown in it signifying it is a Print Master file. This makes it easy for me at a glance. I am using an older version, one that I had on XP. Perhaps Windows 7 does not have what ever driver it takes for a .sig file. Guess it is just one more thing I have to learn to get used to. The icon for the software on my desktop is correct and I do have all my files in the software that I have created and show up when I need them. I don't understand why there are so many hidden files, or I used have not learned how to find all the file folders. An example would be trying to locate the fonts file folder to add more of my favorite fonts. Each time I go to add more fonts I have to do a search for fonts then, that file opens up. It could be I just don't know how to find all these files. I thought going with Windows 7 would have been easier than learning windows 8, maybe I was wrong.

Comments (54)I think the plan holligator did has some good options. If you did like somebody suggested and put openings on each side of the stove you'd also have a view into the family room when cooking. This plan keeps traffic out of the cooking zone and all your prep and cooking happens within view of the family room. In your first plan you are stuck on the other end of the island for doing any prep and cooking with the fridge and stove where you have them so not sure how much supervising you can actually do, in that area. One other option to keep prepping and fridge out of the garage walkway would be to put the stove in the corner. As wide as it is you probably would have to move the island down a bit to have aisle space. Then move the sink down closer to the opening, and keep the fridge on its current wall, but move it away from the sidewall. Ues you loose the sink right under the window, but I think you'd love that spot for prepping/cooking and looking out the window, and at least in my kitchen I spend more time prepping and cooking than I do at the sink. I'm not seeing why the Fridge has to be on that wall as it currently is on the other wall. Seems to me it should be able to go to both....See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
