Removing Steam Valve (and everything else)
Comments (1)How old is the piping? If it's steam, safe bet it's well more than 50 years.... Having just replaced some steel piping from the furnace (hydronic system) that's as old as the house (75 yo), steel fittings give up the ghost grudgingly, if at all. I had to use a Sawzall to remove a reducing tee when a 2' pipe wrench, a 4' cheater bar and lots of penetrant couldn't. Is a working furnace a good enough gift to the wife for Christmas? ;-) Cheers...See MoreSlugs like lettuce...and everything else
Comments (19)Sluggo works really well. It will completely dissolve in a heavy rain but usually not in a light rain. You don't need to apply all that much and the existing slugs will eat it and then they stop eating your plants and die. I had a couple lettuce plants and part of another get mowed down by slugs in one night. I applied a few pellets of sluggo immediately around each remaining plant and never had anymore damage. I did re-apply it every week or so since....See MoreHelp! Small black dots on tomato stems! Everything else looks OK.
Comments (12)Tomato plants produce anthocyanin to protect against cold stress. I'm pretty sure those specks are the result of that. I see the same specks on my tomato plants sometimes--it has never progressed to disease. The reason I'm fairly sure it's tied to anthocyanin production is because I grew a high-anthocyanin variety (black beauty) last year, and that plant had those little specks on the stems all season and much more densely....See MoreHickory cabinets, terra cotta floor, need ideas for everything else
Comments (18)Sage green is one of my favorite colors. I wish I could find a photo of it with hickory. Since your cabinets are still open stock, buy a door (or two) to test different colours and see which one you like best for your island. Pictures on the Internet will only help you so much because we can't trust colours on our screens. For the windows, best option will depend on light exposure and how you use the room. For example, if there will be a TV in the living space, there might be glare during the day in which case you'll need something to block that. You might be best served with blinds and curtains. Or solar shades. Might start with inexpensive temporary solutions while you shop around for "best" solution for you. Quality window treatments aren't inexpensive so be prepared for possible sticker shock. Congrats on your new home and all the best with your kitchen!...See MoreC.lee L
