chris, I am no pepper expert but I do plant a large variety of them. I planted Bell, Habs, Jalapeno, cayenne, sweat banana and hot banana in the same bed this year. I used straw ground cover. Rain was scarce at the beginning of the season so I watered about every third day, but not alot of water. As the rain picked up, I quit watering all together. All of the plants are producing more than I can keep up with. However, the sweat bananas turn a brownish color more than 50% of the time, as the other types, included hot banana, do not. I am not sure, but I don't think the water requirement or soil requirement is any different than the rest of the peppers. Apperantly, they are just a more finicky pepper. To help with the BER, put down some lime before planting next year. Also, feeding with MiracleGro plant food once a week does wonders! I can tell you they do not like cooler weather but Direct sunlight ALL day should be avoided in my experience. Habs however seem to ike as much direct sunlight as they can get. Hope some of this helps.

I agree that the stickley chair needs to move out of that room. I like the turquoise chair, but would not do a leather chair with the leather you already have. You need an upholstered chair and IMHO, a patterned chair. I don't really see the two patterned chairs for your room. I would wait till the right thing came along. That said, if you like the $50 chair, it's only $50 and you could still wait for just the right chair and then either use that elsewhere, or sell.

Eggshell on the walls, but if “white” is what you want, read this from “Country Living”: Secret to White Paint To achieve a "true white," the owner of this open-floor ranch home coated the walls, ceiling, and trim in Glidden's base paint in semigloss. The result: a crisp, bright white without any undertones.

I can't add to the great cabinet advice here, butI can speak to your timeline. Stop it! You *want* the house to be finished before you move in, but that's a wish, not a necessity. You will make far better decisions and deal better with the problems that arise if you set that timeline aside and just deal with what needs to happen. You can live without floors, but they are a pretty big deal (I hated the weeks on bare concrete floors post-flood), so get your floors down. Since you are paying for your GC's services, why exactly does he get to tell you that he 'won't' do floors until cabinets are in? That may be his preference (just as yours was to have this all completed before move-in), but that is just the way he wants to do it (less flooring that way), and as someone once said, 'you don't always get what you waa aant'). Here's what we determined we actually *needed* to be able to live in our post-flood house: walls, floor, and one functional bathroom. Get your flooring down. Toilet, sink, shower or tub. I second the suggestion to get an inexpensive pedestal sink or cheap big box vanity in the interim. You can sell it afterwards. One or two long folding tables in your kitchen work pretty well for prep, drying dishes, etc. One or two metal storage racks (on wheels if possible) such as Metro Commercial or Metro Kitchen from Container Store work wonders to temporarily replace cabinet storage. Helpful hint 1: you don't have to unpack ALL of your kitchen utensils, cookware, dishes, etc. Unpack only what you need, place on shelves, go about the business of living and take your time and make sound, non-emotional, non-urgent decisions about how to resolve the cabinet crisis. You have time, you just need to stop telling yourself that you *must* have this completed by x-date. Helpful hint 2: I love Container Store but the reference to their product was just a reference - you can find similar shelves at Home Depot, Lowes, or even Craig's List or a restaurant supply. Breathe.
