Red Hall Tree - real name?
Comments (5)Thank you Eric. I agree that Hall Tree's are much easier to maintain and perhaps more functional in the house than out and certainly require far less fertilization. I appreciate the information as I had asked him to spell the name of his tree to do an internet search - I will inform him that he needs to hang his jacket on his current cultivar found near the edge of his woods unless he would rather just learn the correct name of it. Don't you just love how things get mis-represented with the English language? I knew the garden-forum people were the greatest and would come up with an answer for us. And thanks for the direct link/picture....See MoreHelp me arrange the 'front hall' area of my living room
Comments (16)Caminne, that is a BRILLIANT idea, because I definitely need as much bookcase space as I can squeeze into every room, and at the moment there are no built-ins. Now, les917 cautioned against putting something just to the left of the door as you come in (i.e. on the living-room side of the door), to avoid cramping people (or dogs) as they step around the door, which I think it good advice. But if you look at my floorplan, you can see that there's quite a bit of space between the front door and the front wall windows. Floorplan: I think it should be possible to put a bookcase so it more or less lines up with the left side of the entrance to the dining room, which is about where I'd want the living room rug to end and the entryway rug to start. (Not describing this too well, but will try to photoshop a furniture-arranging floorplan soon.) In any case, I think that would leave plenty of clearance to get around the door - more clearance than you'd have in the entry to most historic rowhouses around here, anyway. That would preclude using the big desk as a sofa-table-type room divider, but I think it would solve two serious storage problems at once. I wonder if it would even be possible to have two bookcases back to back, with one facing the living room for books and the other offering baskets for leashes and mittens and whatnot on the door side. I'm thinking maybe about 36" high - high enough to make a divider, but low enough not to block light and to make it easy to put things down on top of.

Comments (22)I had "code" issue w/relation to where the gas shut off valve was to be placed for the gas range. Plumber stated he needed to do a cut out in one of the brand new custom drawers - I said no, went to town, confirmed code, discussed w/building inspector - His response was most people have misinterpreted the code - it used to be felt it needed to be in an "accessible" place, Only to realize how foolish that was - 1st in the event of a true emergency - no one would search for the shut off, 2nd gas could always be shut off at the main. try your local town hall here's a link that may help Here is a link that might be useful: International building code...See MoreHeaven-Hell Trees hardy to USDA zone 4
Comments (45)BTW, here is another interesting Latin naming issue, although there appears to be an explanation for it (?) Anyway, according to the ACS database: 1. Pinus sylvestris 'Glauca Nana' http://conifersociety.org/conifers/conifer/pinus/sylvestris/glauca-nana/ is a different plant from (note that the two words in the cultivar name are transposed) 2. Pinus sylvestris 'Nana Glauca' http://conifersociety.org/conifers/conifer/pinus/sylvestris/nana-glauca/ Although, in this case, the naming of plant 2 appears to have been necessitated to differentiate it from yet another different plant 3. Pinus sylvestris 'Nana' http://conifersociety.org/conifers/conifer/pinus/sylvestris/nana/ When plant hunting, make sure whether it is plant 1 or plant 2 that you are bringing home. Plant 1 is hardy to USDA zone 3, whereas plant 2 is hardy to USDA zone 5. It is all according to the ACS database, I am innocent :-)...See MoreBethany Goodin
