Attention Pot People - Need your input
Comments (15)Double meaning not intended I assure you. I figure "those" pot people are probably too wasted to type a sensible sentence anyway......I do appreciate all of your advice. I've been overwintering roses outside for many many years. The only time I've ever lost them is when they were in small (8 inch or less) pots. It just so happened that this one rose (mini Chattooga)was in an 8inch pot and just now decided to put on its growth spurt. I usually like to evaluate a rose for a couple of years in a pot before giving it valuable real estate, but what the hey, I liked this mini so much its first year that I took the plunge early. I can always dig it up if it turns into a dud. So problem solved. As for my other non-rose plants. I will do as most of you advise and up-pot them now as they are so pot bound that it can't be good for overwintering........Beautiful roses Jimmy. Thanks for the contribution. I've had the Austin Tamora in a pot since 1991. It stayed in a 16 inch pot (looks about the same size as yours) until 3 years ago when I upped it to 20"....See MoreNew layout ... input hugely appreciated
Comments (50)Unfortunately, I couldn't do lascatx's layout. My kitchen is too narrow -- 13 feet and I couldn't fit things in. I went back and looked at Mahlgold's magazine pictures again, and I pretty much copied the layout, with a few tweaks. In the magazine kitchen there's a nice separation between clean up area and cooking area. I wanted to do stainless steel around my cooktop, but I don't think it would look good to transition from stainless steel to stone on the same run of countertop. I don't think 2 islands work well in my space, because the second island ends up right in front of the entry from the hall. I think I'm resigned to have 1 big island. As always, any comments or suggestions are hugely appreciated ... Thanks, Erika...See MoreWhat is a People to People student Ambassador?
Comments (15)Toni - This topic came up here a few months ago with mixed feedback. My daughter went in 1995, the summer after her freshman year of high school. She had been nomimated by one of her classmates who had been on several P to P trips (China, Australia, Europe). She was interested in going and I thought it would be a good experience for her. She spent 27 days traveling through Spain, France and the high light of her trip was the week long home stay with a wonderful family in Germany. P to P is by no means unique but it does try to sound somewhat exclusive by saying you need to be nominated. I think now you can even go on their web site and request an application. At one time it was more restrictive but I think there's more competition now so they've opened it up. The price was on a par with trips to Europe my sons had taken while in high school. Now there are so many other opportunities for students to travel. There are many service oriented trips too where the students perform volunteer work in poor areas. Several of the churchs in our town do this on an annual basis usually traveling to poorer areas of the US. There were several factors in our decision to allow her to go. It was a unique opportunity for her to travel to Europe and while it was expensive we could afford to send one child. We couldn't afford to take our entire family of 5 and travel that extensively for 3 1/2 weeks. Plus my husband wouldn't be able to take that much time off. My daughter is on the shy side and we hoped this would help her self confidence. Initially she didn't know any of the other students on the trip but she came home with many new friends. They were responsible for their own luggage and keeping track of the different departures, meal times, tours etc. My husband isn't a great traveler and we may never make it to Europe. But I wanted my children to have the opportunity....See MoreNeed input for Kitchen remodel
Comments (19)I love you people! Seriously, you're amazing. Mama goose the first picture you have is an accurate representation of the beam and shelves I would like to have in the space. And my husband and I sat down yesterday to go over the whole thing again. This picture is where I would like to see those shelves and the distance between those sides is 223" if my husband and I measured correctly. The jut sticks out 6-8 inches. The next picture shows the exterior door and where the sink will be. The distance from the corner to the door frame is 110". This house was built in 1940s and had no insulation in the walls. This is the other side that we had the wall built out to eliminate the 2 inch angle where the plumbing chase is. That window is lower than the other two and the apron is approximately 30" from the floor. The corner to the window frame is 33". From that corner to the beam support is approx. 107-108" This picture shows the beam support sticking out. This picture shows where the refrigerator will go as you can see the ice maker hookup in the lower left. Between the framing for the HVAC is 27" on the right side, 27" wide, and it is approximately 55" on the other side, reminder that this is without drywall installed for these measurements. The framing for HVAC sticks out 20". The section of the wall to the right with the electrical box is 43 1/4" out. The exterior door frame starts at approximately 42" from that left corner. This is the other side of electrical box and where we intend to put an opening through to the other side, a dining room is on the other side....See Morejmm1837
