Comments (1)Could be a bad/stuck out-of-balance switch. Check that in Diagnostic Mode. If the lid is supposed to be locked but isn't, then the lid switch may be bad....See MoreNewbie problem(s) -- cactus rot? Any help appreciated!
Comments (1)Based on what you described: Do not apply anything unless you know what the problem is. (Btw, where does vegetable oil idea comes from? Just wondering - didn't come across that recommendation yet) Chilly windowpane is no problem - unless leaves/part of plant is touching the glass, and there is frost on it. Or really drafty... In z5, I have them on windowsill a do not worry about chill.. Cooler temps during nighttime are often quite suitable for many plants. Watering 1x/week is probably too often, and even more so if the potting soil doesn't drain fast. I can see some perlite, but can't tell what is the mix made off - do you know? How warm is it in the room they are kept? As for the white spots, are they web-like? If so, it may be mealy bugs. But I really can't see detail well enough to be sure. Does it look/feel papery-like? The larger cacti may have rot problem - I never had to do surgery on something similar, so hope someone else will post with good tips. As for light, they need as much as possible - many of us use lots of supplemental lighting during dark & short days of winter. It is a good idea to isolate new or diseased plants from the rest, usually until there is no sign of disease/bugs anymore....See MoreHelp: Tricky Design Problem - Balancing Views and Privacy
Comments (8)Wow. I would have put a lot more thought into this "tricky design problem" while still in the planning/drawing stage. I can understand wanting a killer view from the master bedroom, but, realistically, how much time are you going to be spending in the master bedroom to take advantage of the view? I would think that most of the time you spend in the bedroom would be at night, when there isn't going to be much to see. From the pictures you posted, it's not like there's a fabulous "city night lights" view. In other words, I don't think I would have put the master bedroom there. Also, because the floor is higher in the master bedroom, the windows are higher, so folks sitting at a table in the dining room aren't really going to have a fabulous view out the bedroom windows. You said, "... we intend to put a baby cot right past the entrance .. a sliding door would surely allow noise through thus waking the little one." If you are going to have a baby cot right past the entrance and need to keep the door closed to avoid noise waking the baby, you're not going to be able to see the view from the dining room. And speaking of that, you also said, "ideally, we would like the door to be entirely glass so that when we are sitting at the sofa, we can enjoy the entire view." As I've already stated, folks seated in the dining room aren't going to have much of a view out the bedroom windows, and I think anyone sitting on the sofa will have even less of a view. Take a chair with you to the construction site. Set it in the area where you plan to have the sofa. Sit on the chair and observe the view. What you can or cannot see might very well help you decide on what type of door to have....See MoreAny help balancing this kitchen appreciated!
Comments (4)You're trying to fix what isn't broke. Well, except for the island cooker & no range hood which is the only thing I see wrong. I don't happen to like the light fixtures because dull brassy stuff looks dirty to me. But that's just my taste. Plenty of other people love natural brass. I impulsively want to polish it & that's a never-ending job. Got over brass back during the Brass Age---when, back in the 80's?? Also, is that a divided sink? If so, I would want to switch it out for a single bowl....See Moreemma
