Comments (13)We are in Baltimore County- over the city line by so little I can see it! I have hear that inspections in the city are a PITA. She did finally show up today, but too late for them to put the drywall up today. They installed my salvage wood floor that I have had stashed away for a couple of years. It is dirty, but it looks fabulous! They really did an amazing job beauase it turns out that the boards are about 1/16th-1/32 smaller in width than the existing floor, so it was not a simple install. They are hoping to have all the walls up and mudded tomorrow and then finish the mud coats on Thursday so I can prime on Thursday night. They want to check the finish for flaws on Friday before I put the color on. My guy is picky about his drywall finishing :). So, it wasn't completely unproductive, but still puts us back in the schedule a bit. Soapstone templating is on Tuesday, or Wednesday, depending on tomorrow's progress. I am starting to build cabs tonight and will finish that and paint this weekend. So by next week we should really be somewhere! weissman- from what this GC, and other previous contractors have indicated, if you complain, the inspectors just get pissed off, and aren't very motivated to get to your job. Since she did show up eventually, I am just going to let it be. It is just really irritating especially since they could almost walk here....See MoreWinter hasn't started yet - 2 months to go before spring
Comments (54)Jess: The ideal time to prune roses is when they go dormant, at the COLDEST time of the year. I prune roses right after a hard frost which zaps out the leaves. Then I prune roses again in spring time, since we have more dead branches from -20 below zero. Crown Princess Magareta got pruned twice, right before winter, and again in spring before the rain hit. My second pruning produce more blooms. I checked on multiflora rootstock: 1) yes, it likes acidic, and my Comte de Chambord (grafted on multiflora) loves sulfate of potash (21% sulfur), gypsum .. but hate pea-gravel (pH 9). It loves tons of acidic rain, so I run the down-pour from my rain-spout via a hose onto that rose. Salty fertilizer isn't best for roses grafted on multiflora. Multiflora picks up salt well, thus more prone to rust. Multiflora prefers cool & rainy like the climate they are native to: Japan, Korea and Eastern China. They are imported to cool & rainy eastern United States in 1866 as rootstock for ornamental roses, and became invasive. I notice that my 2 own-root Comte de Chambord can take heat & drought much better than my Comte grafted on Multiflora: it sulks at temp above 90, and can't handle dryness....See MoreCan anyone identify this tree even though it hasn't leafed out yet?
Comments (19)No hurry to prune anything. When you do, just the crossed branches and damaged ones. You could take that mess of water sprouts coming off the lower main branches. After the tree flowers would be better than now and the tree is still pretty small so the wounds should close quickly. From the pics I'd bet it's a sliver but will need more info to say for certain....See Morenickel_kg
