Here's my quote: 4 Plumbing Collars @ 10.95 each. $43.80 plus tax Service call to jobsite: $65.00 (that includes picking up supplies)If customer supplies parts and are not correct size, then $100 to return to get correct parts. Shingles if required. $15 per bundle. Flashing caulk: $4.25 (the good stuff) Hourly rate at jobsite: $55 per hour. Estimated time: 1 hour. You should also get a roof inspection. If the plumbing collars are failing, it's a good bet that the roof is approaching the end of its service.

Things got very hectic with Thanksgiving, Black Friday sales, etc. but I did want to take a moment to thank everyone for sharing their tables and to show you what I decided with mine. lv_r_golden: I'm swooning over the fall leaf theme--which gave me some inspiration for my kids' table. ladypat: Your small votive candles around the table make it look so warm and inviting. I tried to recreate that look, but didn't work for me, though, at last minute. Perhaps next year. gsciencechick: Lovely crystal! Do post pics of your new french doors. awm03: I'm in love with your dining room. The pairing of that table and chairs is truely inspirational. Joann: Your daughter has a lovely home and table. I'm so envious of her large dining room table! I ended up following Linda's advice to arrange the pumpkins on a tray. I added the fall leaves and pinecones that my DDs collected and came up with this: The I added a bouquet of flowers to the buffet: Here is what I came up with for the kids' table: Mine 9-year-old DD helped to arrange the leaves and pinecones for their centerpiece: Remember my friend who added a last minute guest? She gave me the prettiest hostess gift of two bird candles. I added them to my pumpkin centerpiece like so: I am now wondering how I can update this centerpiece for a Christmas look. I think I can use the birds and pinecones, but I need to swap out the pumpkins and leaves for something else. Any suggestions? Also, what can I do with the pumpkins now when I am done for them?

I would post this in design dilemmas as well. When I have a hard time making a decision and there are many choices, I only choose between two at a time. Start with your siding first, A against B, A against C, C against D, etc. After I made a final siding choice, if I couldn't find a trim color that works with it, I'd eliminate that siding color and I'd start the siding process again. It's hard for us to suggest colors without seeing your choices.

Since it is still very recent, you should be able to delete your entire post and start over in the most appropriate forum. Look for the 'delete' tab on the far right hand side under your initial post. Here is a list of forums you can choose from (the first bunch are garden related; the second home improvements). Just an FYI but it is a good idea not to make your question too broad. If you have landscaping questions in addition to your interior issues, start a new thread focused on just those, with suitable photos to illustrate.
