Narrowed down cabinet choices- any opinions?
Comments (1)Greenfield is a excellent product, very solid construction for the money...I have purchased from them on several occasions and also the parent company Corsi when we needed something on a higher level Nothing but good things to say about them, they have had a couple very minor issues on a few of the projects and were extremely quick to get the issues resolved....See Morenarrowing down faucet choices
Comments (22)No, I have not decided! I thought that we'd be installing cabinets this weekend, which would mean granite soon, which means need a faucet SOON, but since the cabinets are delayed till at least next weekend, I am still hemming and hawing over the faucets. I have not heard of Rubinet, but i feel your pain! I searched here for EVERY faucet brand that was at least sort of well regarded, then looked online at EVERY single-hole faucets by each brand, and made charts of the ones I liked!! I only avoided brands I did not recognize since I already had so many to choose from. I *think* it is gonna be the Hansgrohe Allegro Gourmet, but I think I'll pull out my sink and make some sort of cardboard model to make sure that it wont be too huge. Who'd have thought...... :)...See Moreplease help with choice of replacement window
Comments (7)+1 Nothing Horrible about the Simonton window at all. Once you get into the upper end lines it tends to run a bit bulky and you could argue that the fit and finish aren't as nice as some of the other windows out there but I would never use the adjective of horrible. Foam filling, and its impact, depends on the extrusion, design, and realized U-Factor improvement. Some windows it makes no difference, others and make a great difference. Just depends on the window. You budget is a bit light if you ask me. The question I always tell folks is would you rather spend a bit more now for a great window and not have to re-do this project of go cheap now and spend again? You are dealing with that very issue right now in your current windows. The Euphoria of a "great deal" has long since worn off when you are stuck re-doing the work....See Morenarrowing down shrub choices
Comments (11)I would go visit the arboretum that Embo suggested now since you will want an attractive yard, even in winter. You can notice plants with good overall shape, interesting bark and colorful branches. You will see the range of ever"green" colors and textures that often fade to attractive backdrops in the seasons where other plants are looking appealing. IME, many evergreens are a somewhat different color in winter, so it's good to know that before planting. In my zone 5 yard, about 5 months of the year is gardening winter, so it's a large enough portion to make me consider my options for having a lovely winter garden as well. It's easy to focus on the warm weather garden, but what you see when you look out the window or are playing with the kids in the yard or are driving up to the house in the winter will help get you through the dark and cold months. You will also probably notice which plants need to be a bit camouflaged or distracted from. For instance, I love hydrangeas, but they are pretty homely in winter, so I site them accordingly. I'd also probably get a soil sample tested now if you can dig. It's a slow time for soil labs, relatively speaking, and knowing something about your soil's texture, organic matter and pH will be helpful in deciding what to plant....See MoreWindows on Washington Ltd
