20 3' X 4' old posts-what would you do with them?
Comments (3)Oh Debbie, that is something I had not thought about and even have some great new roses I got in some trades in a holding bed that really need to get moved out this year. Well the offerer finally returned my call Thurs PM after I I had almost given up hope of getting them, thinking someone beat me to them. I went to pick them up yesterday PM, and there must be 50 of them! I got about 1/2 or more on my little truck and will go back today to get the rest of them. With 50 of them, I can use them for numerous projects. Whoo-Hoo! Come on Spring. Sue...See Moreshould we ditch our 20 year old tile?
Comments (7)I would either get a pencil trim to match the marble-like tile or the glass. I think the Schluter trim would look too modern. The problem with this solution is the cost. That trim, needing a line before and after the mosaic tile, could cost more than the mosaic tile and porcelain tile combined. How does the cost of Schluter edge compare? I wonder what ideas Joseph Corlett, LLC had, he forgot to come back and tell you. In my kitchen remodel in 2003, my contractor used a 1/4" trim piece stained to match my cupboards to top my backsplash, and that looked great because we had both base and upper cabinets. Here, you don't have that to tie into the design, so I am not sure it would work. Along those lines, though, you could paint the window trim to match the bath cab and use a small 1/4" trim piece painted to match to finish off the top edge. The color goes very well with the mosaic tile. Painting the window trim also makes adding that small piece of wood trim under the window easy....See MoreHindsight being 20/20,what would you do differently?
Comments (75)In grade 11, on the first day of history class the teacher asked us to think if we had done something in our lives that we regret. After that pause he talked about regret, and to live each day of your life deliberately so that in 30, 40, 50 years we could still be happy with the answer to the question. The answer didnt have to be that you have nothing to regret, if you have nothing to regret does might that mean you didnt try enough, push hard enough, risk failure often enough. Just understand the choices you have made to those regrets. I have thought on those words, that day many times. I would never have smoked. I dont smoke now, I never smoked much, I havent smoked for 18 years or so, but I would never have done so. I would have had more sexual partners before getting married. This is something I cant really do anything about and still honor my marriage vows, but I really regret this. One of my sons was critically ill when he was a toddler, I wish I had been a different person through that experience. I had to dig deep inside myself to be very strong, to fight for him, to push through that, but i feel that it left me harder than I was beforehand. I miss that carefree person, I miss how easily she laughed....See MoreSome of our 20 year-old Austrian Pines have Blight.
Comments (4)My parents sprayed theirs...kept them alive as long as they did it, but the trees all died when my parents decided it wasn't worth the expense. I didn't think fungus was usually the problem Austrian Pines suffered in the US. I thought it was usually the combination of bark beetles and pine wilt nematode....See More- last year
