Yes. I have been thinking I needed awnings for the south side. This would be just the ticket.

I go to the blow dryer first. Usually, heating the adhesive lets me pull the label off and then I can scrub the residue.

I think this would be great. My city has several recycling services and free recycling drop-off centers all over, so I think it would work pretty well.

The drawbacks of illegal dumping and perhaps people keeping more trash around their premises until they can go dump it somewhere, might be a prohibitive problem though.

I was out at my sister's acreage yesterday and when we took a walk we saw several bags of leaves dumped in the ditches. She was irritated because she along with others who live along the country road have to pick those bags up. So, if illegal dumping increased, it would really be a burden on those who live on the country roads near the city.

Grew up with bedtime snacks of bread and milk topped with syrup. Haven't had it since forever, maybe tonight.

Yeah, not sure I care for the way it looks in this photo, but function is its own beauty. My first thought was some sort of trailing, but not bushy, type plant that could create a light screen and help the gap make some sense.

@morfydd, my thoughts exactly.

Though we could live w/o the dishwasher, it sure helps keep the kitchen cleaner with less stress. My 3 teens and their friends are good about putting their things in the dishwasher, I suspect compliance might be a little more challenging and costly in terms of water use, if we dispensed with the appliance.

My dryer, however, broke several months ago and I've yet to fix it. I put up 3 lines in my basement. The teens, who have to do their own laundry, are so much less likely to just toss their clothes into the hamper now that it's a little more work and planning to do laundry, they wear their clothes more than 1x, thereby balancing out the water and electricity used by the dishwasher. :)

This is great. I would love to see more pix of your bathroom. I have a little cottage and the bath is about the size of yours, maybe, just maybe a tad larger, but I've really been wondering how to handle the space. It's awful now, but you've given me hope.
