Thank you, Wildflower and Karyn, I went out last evening and brought the blooms in, and I do in fact have a CG AND a JY. Then I watched the weather forecast for last night. We had our first freeze. So, I brought my new buckets in the kitchen, got my loppers and rose pruners out, and started bringing in brug trunks and limbs. Now my kitchen counters look like several of your greenhouses. Glad that I figured out last week what "above the Y" meant, and now I have above the Y cuttings, as well as 4 foot sections of the trunks in a new white garbage can. I left some trunks and blooming parts on the plants in case the 31 degrees temp does not put the plants into dormancy. Now I feel more a part of the brug experience, a process that only started this past spring. This is such fun. I'm so glad that there are so many delightful people on this forum. It makes life better. Jim

GOTCHA!! I see the whole picture here! Thank you all for your imput! It is very understandable and I see things a lot clearer now. Choosing non-married couples makes sense for a lot of reasons. I am no longer miffed and will be very supportive. Actually, I am kind of glad it happened this way because it will allow my fiance a better understanding of the relationship I have with my own god daughter. He is such a wonderful partner and father, that any child he is able to have an intimate relationship with would be truly blessed anyway. No - I am not Catholic, but the rest of my family is. To Carla35 - Yes I do know what it means to be a God Parent. I am a God mother to my best friends' daughter. We baptized our son last July so I am very familiar with the Catholic religions practices regarding God parents and the sacrament of baptism. To Colleenoz - My fiance's neices and nephews not calling me aunt doesn't bother me. I used it as an example for you all to better understand my relationship with the children. It is up to their parents and them as to what they call me and if they ever decide to even call me "aunt". Also - we DO have tentative wedding dates set for either November 1st or 8th of 2008. We plan to marry in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Thank you all for your comments!

Yes Sheesh, I think I will be happier using the technique in the above video, it’s still pretty much a floating floor so I could lift up the wall sides occasionally to do a mold check or roll up ends to clean if need be. As far as hosing it down, this would be something I would likely do more towards the center of the room to eliminate stuff from car work. Also, please keep in mind you all that my flooring choice research was done with my type of garage in mind. My garage is cement block and stucco with a cement floor and has no drywall except one wall. That one wall has a cement border along bottom before drywall. Some garages have a cement band going around the whole wall bottom with drywall going up from there…probably very safe with this floor with that set-up. I think another thing to keep in mind is if your floor is properly slanted toward your garage door opening. I once had a garage where some knuckle heads graded the cement floor towards the door going into the house. The rest of my storage components came to day. I purposely ordered them a week or so apart to free up space for assembly with each order. My first order was a three piece large/tall storage kit from Amaz…Three storage containers = six boxes. Those took two hours to assemble. When I went back to order another kit comprised of the workbench/table, another tall cabinet, one base cabinet and one wall cabinet kit the price had gone up considerably. So, I ordered the 2nd kit from “O” and saved a lot. Same thing with the flooring, big price differences from site to site. The same holds true for the locking wheels option on your worktable. They are $60 on most sites but I found the exact same thing on another site for $40. This is what the second kit looks like before assembly. It’s another tall cab, one wall cab, one base cab and a work table kit. As with the first delivery they put it right into the garage for me.

Gee - a mouse? Really? I didn’t think mice ate greens? We’re going to stop at the store today and get some mice traps and see if that answers the question. Haven’t seen any evidence of any or heard anything that would make us suspect we had one in the house, but, I suppose that doesn’t guarantee anything. Is there such a thing as ‘one’ mouse? [g] Have never seen a roach in 35 years in this house. I may also cover them over with agribon at night, but it could be they are doing it during the day, I can’t tell. Should I keep the agribon over them when they are under the lights? Hurry up spring, so I can get these out of the house! HereWeGoAgain - I don't think it's a rule not to have lights and a heating pad going at the same time. I guess it depends on how warm it is under your lights. Plus I have a fan going on the seedlings so that cools off the space too.
