If I ya want to see mine I could e-mail it. I got the pictures of my yard on mu computer and can e-mail them but I can't figure out how to post them. I found an old buck board in the woods outside my kitchen window when we moved in. The woods had covered it with brush etc. We cleared it out and I made it into a large planter. I rocked a semi-circle in around the front from wheel to wheel and plant perennial in the back and annuals in the front.

Minderella, They have a plant sale in October and one in April of every year. I'm trying to work it out to sell cuttings by request with the proceeds going to the park. There is an administrator I have to discuss this with as the park is not set up to take credit or debit cards, check or cash only, but preferably check written out to the park, not me or other person/s. I will find out how and post an announcement here on the board. Folks are also able to schedule a visit and I'll meet anyone there at the park. Potted plumeria will be $20.00 with 2 or more tips. Cuttings will go for $5.00 per tip, your choice for color or cultivar. Again it's affordable and fun and the park is open to the public free of charge everyday. Park opens at 800AM and closes at dusk. Feel free to email me if you plan to visit. Thanks, Stuart

Okay... I received updated AHRI reference numbers (and copies of the certificates) from the Bryant dealer for both the 60K and 80K furnace options. One thing I am concerned about is the clearance for the stack of equipment in the basement utility room. There is only a clearance of 63 inches to the bottom of the main supply duct. The Lennox dealer mentioned this, and the Bryant dealer took note of it as well, but here are the options the Bryant dealer has presented me with: 60K Unit AHRI # 4891891: Condenser: 187BNA036 Coil: CNPVP3717ATA Furnace: 355CAV04260 80K Unit AHRI #4891910 Condenser: 187BNA038 (same) Coil: CNPVP4821ATA Furnace: 355CAV060080 The coil for the 60K unit is 5 inches taller than the coil for the 80K setup. The total height of the stack (including a 2 inch base) for the 60K unit would be over 69 inches - that doesn't seem like it would fit. The 80K setup that they have specified still has a 64 inch height, which would mean the coil sticks part way into the supply duct - is this a significant problem? I have found the Bryant 2010-2011 product handbook so that is helping me to put together what I think is the ideal system. If I understand it, ideally I need for my use a 3 ton condenser, a coil that can handle at least 3 tons of cooling, a furnace that can provide at least 3 tons of cooling airflow (it looks like Bryant has two options here - 3.5 tons of airflow (042 series) or 5 tons (060 series). I need the combination to be less than 61 inches tall (to allow for the 2 inch base underneath and I want it to be eligible for the cooling tax credit (which I think means minimum 16 SEER/13 EER rating). I THINK I should be able to put that together, but I need to cross reference the overall design. Just a quick question - the coil and cooling airflow capacity can be oversized without adversely affecting things, correct? When we talk about correct sizing we are referring to the condenser and the furnace output right? Thanks again for any input. Ted

There is a lot of confusion about the style which I would say lasted from about 1940-1970 and mixed and encompassed styles from deco to colonial revival to 18th century French and American in with midcentury modern. I place it in this extended period because I consider William Haines, Dorothy Draper, James Mont, Tommi Parzinger, Karl Springer, Michael Taylor and Tony Duquette all to have worked in this style, to some degree. Does anybody want to add any designers to the list of the originals? (I think Kelly Wearstler revived it and Jonathan Adler cashed in by copying individual pieces of their work verbatim, but I will really try to reference original period. I think as with other styles we have worked in, Hollywood Regency will pretty much be an application of the style to a kitchen since the typical HR house would have had a period kitchen of 1940-1970, and it would have likely been a pastel Saint Charles kitchen with a big Chambers or Tappan Fabulous 400. So I think we are going to be applying Hollywood Regency furniture styles to a current kitchen rather than recreating kitchen that would be in a Hollywood Regency era house--which goes back to a "period kitchen" design. So any designers to add to the list? Any comments on my thought process on this?
