New plants question(s)
Comments (3)The butterwort is similar to pinguicula primuliflora. You won't need to wait to spring to divide them since all your plants are tropical It's your choice if you want to divide them.But if I were you I would leave them the way they are. Good luck, Adrian...See MoreNew plan, new builder, question about columns
Comments (12)Thanks everyone. I was definitely leaning towards the equidistant columns plan. Holly, that's a great idea, but my concern with that is two fold--first, these columns are bloody expensive, but second, our porch isn't terribly deep, and if these are 18" x 18" at their base, it does not leave much room behind each column. Four columns would leave little space for chairs between the columns, and I'm afraid would look a bit busy. Thanks Autumn, we are thrilled with the little girl! But there are definitely some bright spots form the house planning, as well. Frankly, the plan we're getting is not clearly worse than the one I created, and in a few ways is better. And, had I not struggled over that plan and received acres of great advice here, I would not have known what to change about the plan to make it really work well for our family. Here is a cut out of the floor plan of the front. I know this builder has had problems with people copying this plan illegally, so I'm not sure I'm comfortable posting the whole thing without his approval. The plan is scanned a bit crooked, but assume it's straight (and I had to reverse the plan to match our house). I've drawn in the lines and measurements to the center of each 18" column base, the window, and the door. Off to the left is the garage; the room on the front right is the living room, and there is a 6' deep entry hall as soon as you enter the front door. See how I really don't think it changes too much to have the door move the door around--it might change the view through the sidelites and what you see when you first walk in, but I think that is minor compared to how the house will look from the street....See MoreNew, with question(s)
Comments (18)This forum is frequented by all levels of African Violet growers.., beginners to advanced. I first found the site in around 2000, and I've enjoyed all of my time here since. As to it's placement in Houzz, that's a matter for site management. Houzz bought the Gardenweb site a few years ago, and well, ... it is what it is. There were a lot of initial complaints, but we've gotten back to the business of our AV avocation.' I have tried other sites, ... but none that I know of is as well-traveled as this one. There's usually always, at least, a half-dozen enthusiasts around with which to share or learn a latest AV insight or achievement. So ... stay a while, at least . Check out some of the other sites too, if you like. I think that the alternative site information was just that ... additional information for a fellow AV grower. No need to take offense. We welcome all who share our love of AV's ... and we welcome you ......See Morenew lineset with new HP install, have questions
Comments (4)The 5% loss is not a big deal if the current line set is an allowable size. A 30+ year old line set hidden inside a wall has the potential to develop a leak in the future even it were the correct size. I think you should spend the extra money and replace it. It sounds like your contractor does not want to get involved in removing and repairing drywall. If you can't do it, then hire someone to prepare the opening prior to the HVAC installation, and repair it after the line set installation....See Moresara-s
