Knock Out Roses - Pros/Cons?
Comments (7)Good Points: Brilliant splash of color, especially on the cherry red ones. Easy care. Exceptionally disease-resistant. Bloom and rebloom a lot. One of the first to bloom in the spring. Self-cleaning--in that you don't have to deadhead (but the bushes look neater if you do--at least some). Good starter rose for the timid or unsure. They will feel like an instant success. Bad points Individual blooms are not very interesting. Don't think they are very fragrant, but I'm not sure about that. Everybody and their second cousin has one. I'm really getting tired of seeing them everywhere (although I own 2 Double Knock Outs). Can get rather large, a problem if you are looking for a smaller rose. (Double Knock Out seems to be a bit smaller.) You'll miss out on the incredibly varied and beautiful world of roses if you stop with Knock Out. That's about all I can think of. There really aren't many down sides to KOs. Kate...See MoreKnocking Problem
Comments (3)ok kinda snide but yanno how much fun a lions roar would be soon as they pound turn it on very loud ( lions make funny sounds ) a loud roar at a knocken will make them stop and maybe back up .. go make a tape at the zoo of the lions as they sound off for the day .. .. ========= sorry I know that some folks will just never stop or learn they want to control life around them and that doesnt always happen .. so try something diffrent .. Laughter seems to calm the roars of discombulated folks better than legal options...See More"Knock Out" that I just bought

Comments (15)FINALLY A SOLUTION TO THAT BANGING SOUND!!!!!!!!! Had to use caps as I am damn proud to share a solution to this constant banging sound from my steam unit. Over a year of continual banging and it is all over.... The fix is super easy and takes only about 2 minutes to complete. The banging issue stems from the sub heater that keeps the unit always ready to make steam at a moments notice. If you disable the 'instant on' feature the banging stops entirely. The only downside, which to me is not a downside considering the banging is gone, is that by disabling the sub heater the unit will take 3 to 5 minutes to generate steam. I can wait a couple of minutes to have steam vs banging all day and night. Be sure to wrap tape over the connector to ensure it does not come in contact with any other objects which could create a short. I took a picture and added the steps to the image. The steps are also below in text: Steps to stop that knocking noise: 1 - Turn off circuit breaker 2 - On back of unit, remove 4 screws 3 - Remove control cable (Phone like cable) 4 - Pull control panel/back panel out, wiggle it out 5 - Locate white wire labeled “SUB HEATER” (circled in image) 6 - Use pliers to pull connector out of control panel 7 - Use electrical tape and tape over blue connector on end of wire to avoid it coming in contact with anything else inside unit 8 - Tuck wire inside unit 9 - Push control panel back in place, insert 4 screws and tighten 10 - Plug back in control wire (phone like cable) 11- Turn back on circuit breaker 12 - Never hear that banging sound again. Cheers to quiet. (this disables instant on steam - will take 3 to 5 minutes for steam) This works 100% to stop the noise....See Moreforever_a_newbie_VA8
