be careful with colour-matching caulk and rubbing it in with a finger, per stone tech. There will be a lot of excess mess to clean up. Recommend removing most of it with a soft blade, i use a piece of wood with a suitable edge, it prevents scuffing the vinyl. Then carefully and thoroughly remove ALL residue with a damp cloth. Any residue will dry and stay tacky and pick up alot of grime and soon the entire floor will look like heck. Left over residue is difficult to see and you won't know it's there until the smudge appears. If that happens you need to clean entire affected area using soapy water and mild scrub pads. Just sayin'.

Hmmmmm. I was thinking making the slipped stitches were causing the problem b/c the sliped stitches on the heel of a sock curl inward. Hmmmmm. The towel isn't stockinette. It is 3 x 2 ribbing. The scarves that I have made with ribbing don't curl, so I'm not sure why this is curling so much. Although it is supposed to curl a little bit, as the photo shows, my curls into a tube that is no wider than the tab it hangs from. So it looks really goofy. I haven't tried blocking it, because I won't be able to block it each time I wash it. It's just a kitchen towel. Hmmmmmm. Although I can make the pattern different in the future, I wonder if there is any way to save my current tube/towel? I guess I can work on modifying the anging tab part of it, since I already unraveled all of that part. Thank you! :-) francy

I have a narrow hallway with a bathroom door that opens out. For years I have not been able to put runners/rugs in the hall because of the door. I had planned to put a pocket door in but recently was told that because of the light switch wiring it was not possible and the suggestion was made that I install a barn door which I did. I did not know that there will be a gap once the barn door was installed, the gap it’s too large to ignore. You can clearly see a person sitting on the toilet or standing at the sink, aaagh!. I tried the weatherstrip as suggested here but it did not work so then I came up with the idea of attaching “L” shaped trim. I have attached photos and it works perfectly!You have to attach the trim on both sides of the door frame and the bolts for the tracks had to be turned around so that they will not catch on the trim.

Sunnysmom, I did do all the categories a year and a half ago. My mindset is ever changing though and it kind of goes back to what was said earlier in the thread about other people and life in general causing distractions in the process. You did give me some things to think about- namely, what if she doesn't want something early on, should I keep it/store it for her for a later date? I just don't know. The example that was in my mind when I wrote the last post was DH's grandmother's china. Having something like that when we were first married would have been amazing as it was something we could not have afforded at that point and would have been cherished. It came to us after her passing, and after we had been married for 20+ years. While we're touched and cherish it, we don't use it because our habits were well set by that point (we've never owned fine china, and still don't use grandma's even when we host). It's beautiful and in mint condition, but what if DD doesn't want that as she establishes her household? That's an item we would definitely keep, even if we don't use it--- but what about other items? In thinking about it, I guess I don't have a good criteria for heirloom type items that we don't use, but aren't really replaceable if they are something DD eventually wants. Nannygoat, I can share my experience with letters on the chance it helps you. When I did the first purge more than a year ago, I sorted through cards and letters. It was pretty clear which ones were keepers and which ones weren't much of anything. I looked for things that contained clear sentiment, nice words, and made me feel good when I read them- nothing that was just signed (unless the card was particularly meaningful in some way), and no notes/letters than made me feel blah. That left just a small pile of cards/letters, mostly from good friends from my 20s, and deceased relatives. They went in a bag, in a drawer for safe keeping. A year later, I pulled them out and started going through them again- at that point, the realization hit me that there was almost no contact with any of those people and the notes felt like distant echos, rather than any sort of valid sentiment- because that's kind of what they were at that point. I got rid of most all of them, even the ones from deceased relatives, because again, after a year, there was nothing new there, nothing validating, just an old sentiment from a long time ago, kind of like a ghost. Time and revisiting them helped me realize that I was not getting anything out of them, even though they might seem special from a quick surface glance. My advice is be patient with them and yourself, be discriminating where you can be, and also be open to how your feelings might (or might not) change in time.
