I think the client in the chair is female and I think she must use a chair that can get wet. I'm assuming the toilet will be shifted to the left and the built in cabinet made smaller. I want to incorporate a ramp at the entry to the bathroom. Loose some head room in the master bedroom and then ramp down to the bathroom. I'm thinking then the bathroom dry side becomes the emergency spill space if the boat rolls a little while anchored or docked. Need to book it to work. Just got the CAD drawings from the Naval Architect - I'm so excited but need to keep focused on the job on hand today! lol Reading through the email this job is a little easier in the fact that this boat will not have low voltage in floor heating like the last build. The stuff was a pain and something I did not enjoy working with.

Anyone considering something similar to this should check out Hugelkultur and Keyhole gardening. I believe both are naturals West of Abilene and can improve raised beds elsewhere. Over/under watering is a common mistake with any type gardening and become's increasingly likly as zone around roots decreases. I also believe filling unused space with couse sand,rocks and/or gravel is better for succulents than leaving space empty or limited.

All three seem to have good flushing ratings, but the American Standard Yorkville rates the best of the three. Here is a web site where you can look at how well these different models flush: MAP testing As far as quiet, here is a thread that -- although 9 years old -- may give you some info: Terry Love Forums

Pussy willow is one of the earliest pollen sources, but keep in mind that it is a small shrub. Easy to get plants, though; just cut small branches & root them in water. They grow quickly & will begin blooming in a couple years. Grape hyacinth is a good early nectar source, honey bees are swarming on mine when in bloom. They multiply quickly into clumps, and will multiply even more rapidly if divided. Malva sylvestris "Zebrina" is an annual flowering mallow, related to hollyhocks. It will bloom continuously from early Summer to late Fall. What makes this flower special is that it will usually survive the first frost or two, and is a good pollen source when most other flowers are done for the year. I plant it freely throughout my vegetable garden, honeybees will feed on them until a hard freeze... probably the last thing they feed on. It volunteers about as easily as its wild mallow cousins. Surprisingly, another good late-flowering bee plant is garlic chives... so they double as edible landscaping. The plants flower in August/September here, and bloom for several weeks. They are perennial, and multiply quickly to form clumps... but can be invasive, so are best located in a place of their own, where they can run freely. Be sure to dead head the flower stalks before the seeds mature.
