When should I take rooted and leaved figs out of bin
Comments (2)Well I have been slowly adapting my cuttings that have rooted to outside the bin but in the same room, using a humidifier to lower the humidity. The cups I take out have to look almost root bound or at least have lots of roots and some that look thick with many laterals. Since I use alot of perlite, it pulls out very easily. I don't worry too much on leaf growth but 90% of the time they look almost two big for the box. The key for me is to slowly adapt from bin to outside bin to north facing room sunlight to south facing to outside partial shade to sun. I have done two so far up to north facing light with no failure Dominick-MA...See MoreShould I take cabinets to the ceiling?
Comments (33)Island, it is definitely possible. My beloved old girls would never have dreamed of getting on a kitchen counter or a table. They were spray-bottle trained, and good cats. When they were about six, I got married. Husband was a softy with everyone -- his kids, me, cats. But no worries, because the cats were trained. Then they passed away. Got three new cats -- the litter of ferals. Suddenly, I was Bad Cop. Good Cop would wince at the spray bottle. Cringe. Shoot me go-to-hell looks. All explanations went unheeded. One day Good Cop exploded and said, "If you persist in torturing those poor cats, I am going to have to start going outside because it is too painful to watch." Well. What does one do? I stopped. A month later, Elliot stole his tuna sandwich when his back was turned. GC said nothing. Next it was Mary and a chunk of chicken salad. On and on. One day he exploded and said, "Give me that g** d*** spray bottle!" Alas, too late. Gotta train 'em when they're young. Or at least be very, very consistent. My husband still vacillates over the bottle. I keep it to hand always when cooking, and keep spray bottles of alcohol, peroxide, vinegar, and tubs of nasty disinfectant wipes. C'est la vie. I love my cats....See MoreShould I Leave a Window or take it out
Comments (14)Perhaps you could repurpose the window to the garage or laundry room to add yet more light there? (Preferably directly across from the opening.) If a pass-thru would be useful at this point in the wall, you could add cabinet doors to cover the opening when not in use -- well worth doing, even preferable, if you have no other window in the kitchen. Alternately, you could also have the doors not just doors but actual cabinets that swing open either into the kitchen or laundry room. Alternately, you could build a cabinet in and through the wall at that point shelves that could be accessed from either the kitchen or laundry room. Another option, my preference, would be to open up part of the wall and make the laundry room actually a part of the kitchen itself and the cabinets along this wall a peninsula and/or room dividing cabient, hiding any needed support posts for a weight bearing wall within and as a part of the new divider wall cabinet ... something like this: [https://www.houzz.com/photos/sea-cliff-hideaway-traditional-kitchen-san-francisco-phvw-vp~57669[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/sea-cliff-hideaway-traditional-kitchen-san-francisco-phvw-vp~57669) https://www.pinterest.com/pin/530369293587730721/ Make the countertop double depth and you could also use it as a bar and/or folding table from the laundry room side....See MoreNot sure if I should take out traditional linen closet
Comments (48)Pondering your master bath again. Maybe the answer to shower entry is to have a free standing bath tub. It sure frees up floor space in both width & length directions over the typical “tub in a box” that the bigger tubs with tiled surrounds to support them take up. If you look at my pics, you’ll see one end of our slipper tub. it is a 6’ porcelain pedestal tub & not inexpensive - it was our splurge. But free standing tubs are popular & so many sizes, shapes & materials so all kinds of prices. just looking at your floor plan, imagining the space freed up with a free standing. A nice touch of luxury in a master bath too. We tiled our walls around the tub up to window height & the plumbing is in the narrow bump out under the window which I use as a shelf. You can see that in pic too....See Morekaseki
