"You stopped by and instead of offering me help, you asked a question that totally changed the subject matter," But I didn't ask the question of you and I only asked it AFTER the initial question had been answered and quite well, I might add. ""Putting a small plant into a large pot results in not enough roots to pull enough water from the soil so the plant is in more danger of rot damage." different from putting a potted plant in the ground and letting it grow new roots from the cuts? Aren't both scenarios about putting a plant with a small root system into a large growing area? Thank you Dave and Bill for your acknowledge ment that I know something about other aspects of plumeria container growing and your help..;-) "It is obvious you are not here for a friendly discusiion with me, but just to prove someone wrong and make a point." IMO it has been the other way around. I posted several replies ago that I was concerned for the others that would be reading this thread and getting the wrong idea. Not everyone has the luxury of an education in plants &/or soils or years of growing plumies & beings able to see what has worked for them or not OR even the benefit of having worked with plumies for a couple of years and misleading info can be cruel to these folks. I know, I was one at one time. I would hate for someone to needlessly be turned away from this glorious plant simply because they thought it was too hard to learn. PWT is a fact, but learning to use the soils in the fashion that nature intended is a far easier process than "read[ing] several times before [you] understood what" it was saying. When I asked my 1st question in this thread I was trying to understand where BILL was going with it - you turned it into something else. C'mon, why not set egos aside and try to LEARN FROM EACH OTHER?

I vote for the bathroom. If you are "looking ahead", here's our story. In 1989 we bought a 2bd 1ba cottage with an illegal 2-room apartment on the ground floor/garage level. After taking a hideous 18 months to remodel it in fits and starts, in 1991 it became a 2bd 2ba with a master suite downstairs to replace the apartment. When the RE appraiser came to look at it, he criticised us for putting in such a "disproportionate" and "huge" bedroom suite. Remember this is 1991 - very few people had ever seen big remodeled kitchens and master bedroom suites in our (older housing) city, let alone HAD them. We didn't get the appraisal amt we hoped for and couldn't refinance. Fast-forward to 2003. Neighborhood is gentrifying fast, old people moving out and young couples moving in. We decide to take out some equity and try the refinance again. Appraiser comes out, walks in the door, and says, "Wow, great job!" (tall cathedral ceilings, big picture windows looking out towards the hills). He goes downstairs and says, "And you even have a master bedroom suite! Gee, lots of people want these nowadays and so few of the houses around here have them!" We got an incredible appraisal, in fact he pulled comps on 3bd homes because he said so few 2bd homes in our area had the features we did. My niece and nephew, both of whom own homes and are getting married this year, would kill to have a master bathroom ensuite. Go for it!

Thanks again everyone. cawaps I can change the layout. I will play with it. hu1967910 When it comes to decorating, I tend to stick with a theme. However, a good decorator knows how to make many themes work together at once. I am however, not a professional decorator. suezbell , the living room windows open, but the dining room I have a enclosed patio that the dining room window leads out to the patio. Since there is not much ventilation I prefer the unobscured glass. I have a love hate relationship with my patio. It is heated and air conditioned so it gives me extra space, but it takes light away. If I was building a home I would never add it again.

here's the link to O for that rug, but it's out of stock. they do have others. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Area-Rugs/31446/subcat.html Try here for some other choices for colorful rugs https://www.rugs-direct.com/Store/nav/Category-Area-Rugs-Brand-Loloi-Rugs Stay away from the 100% polypropolene rugs. they're super thin and cheap looking. try and get the other materials (like wool, nylon, polyester, jute, sisal, cotton, or a mixture) but, if you're on a budget and don't care, then the propolene rugs are the best for the budget. just don't be surprised when you see how thin they are!
