How much should I sell these for?
Comments (4)Both in working order? If not what's wrong? Looks like the Victrola has been painted...that decreases the value. They will do fine at a garage sale....IF you advertise and IF antiques are commonly sold in your area at garage sales. Ebay is a great place to look to find out what people are willing to pay. But if you are selling at a garage sale, you will have to advertise it well....don't expect someone to "shop", see the organ and say..."Oh...guess I'll buy that."

Comments (5)Can you check with your school about what the local laws and practices are? Do you need a business license? Do you need a license to call yourself a designer in your state/locality? Some do. Does the school have any policies about students doing work for pay? Do they have guidelines? In general, anyone can call herself a "consultant" and consult on just about anything and charge any amount for it, so long as it isn't a specifically regulated field (e.g., medicine) and you declare the income and follow other laws. As a design student, however, you're trying to build a specific reputation in the place where you live, so you need to be really careful about protecting that. Rhome gave you some very good advice. Tell your client up front that you're a student but that you've done a lot of work and learning the particulars of kitchens outside of your coursework, and sign a paper with them that says that if you design for them that you'll be able to come take pictures during and after their reno for use in your portfolio....See MoreAdvice on aerating lawn - should I hire? Can I do it? Should I buy?
Comments (37)morpheouspa. Gloves down here for a moment. What claims are you referring to that I have made about mechanical aeration? Granted, I do claim that there are purposes for which the employment of mechanical aeration can be useful and it irritates me to no end that people peremptorily discount mechanical aeration as being without any use. (in the past couple of months, I've seen were you have suggested? that plug aeration might be an aid in pursuing some outcome.) Are you saying that I have advocated mechanical aeration as a necessary continued lawn care practice? (Do you advocate the application of a surfactant as a necessary continuing lawn care practice?) Is it necessary to spam this site with links to hundreds of university turf programs that recommend home owner lawn aeration not only as a continuing lawn care practice, but for the prevention of disease, thatch LDS etc.? For what purpose? They are just conclusory statements, No more valid than anything you or anyone else can produce. What you linked to, rather than belittle you, look at the facts: First some of what they call aeration is plowing (bad for me) but anyway I counted 13 studies and of those, the majority showed some improvement to crop yield, none showed a decline. They do,make a conclusory statement that aeration will cause increased weeds. OK fine. Based on what? No ancillary evidence even? Did they atleast credit dchall for the quote or maybe daniel? So even though your site actually supports that aeration results in slightly greater % crop production than non aeration, I say irrelevant and useless for any support for either of us. This argument has been going on forever, but if you take the time to understand and observe, there are logical conclusions you can come to and when applied either work or don't. If X then Y, put it to the test, and if it repeats, then continue, whether it is surfacants, aeration, corn meal or Bayer. So recommend on your experience and give your rational when challenged. Caveat emptor. My goal for my lawn, and for those I give advice to, is to obtain a turf that in the shortest time possible will only require mowing, watering and fertilization. I endeavor to employ the least expensive, least labor intensive, but most effective methods for a healthy turf AND soil and those are the ones I promote. My questions were for the reader and therefor need no response from you . I will no longer joust this windmill with you or anyone else, but I will call out anyone who "make [an unsupportable} claim... or [spew} any other blatant lie"...See MoreShould I divide them or just let them be?
Comments (28)Correct - what I like and what you like and what dviolet likes - we can pick 3 different ones out of 3. Regarding selling the plants and when to sell them. My theory is that the plants perform the best first 2 years of their lives... then they slow down. Sometimes rerooting the crown rejuvenates them. Sometimes you can reroot the crown, keep the stump with several leaves - not all - but may be 3-4 to let the light hit the stem - and you get several high quality suckers to root in a month or 2. In any case - some plants slow down dramatically with age, some less - but if you have a younger replacement plant - let the old one go. Yeah - I know - somebody kept Superman alive for 54 years until it croaked. But - it was a curiosity and - pardon me - an ugly thing to start with. The only reason to keep the the old one - if it a really good line. Or original hybrid. That's what big sellers do - they select the best - and keep them as stock plants to harvest the leaves....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
