so when and how do I know which ones?

2. May shrubbery looks a little sparse around the bottom - how do i encourage it to fill in?

3. Once everything has finished blooming i'm going to trim it back. I know right now they're much too high and blocking the front of the house / part of the windows. Would you advise trimming back more than 1/3? Would it damage the shrubs?

many thanks!

blistered the glaze and paint so it was crumbling off. We've hired someone to scrape, sand glaze, caulk, prime and paint. I'm not convinced he's doing a good job so far(...and I know you get what you pay for) so I want to direct him in the right way. He scraped most, but not all of the old dried glaze off. As a result the new glaze is looking a little bumpy and uneven. I know this is part of the charm of old windows - but I'm not sure how much of this is because they're old and how much is down to a poor job. He had scraped and glazed about half of the windows today and isn't coming back until monday to finish the rest / start painting - How can I manage this to stop it becoming a botched job? Is it best he tries to fix before its had a weeks drying time? thanks!

I left the shower surround and tub surround the same, but everything else I took out and started from scratch. New shower door, new toilet, new cabinet in the toilet room, new fixtures, new lighting, new cabinets which I measured and then ordered from Lowe's, new sinks and then I had a granite company cut a remnant granite for my master bath which made it less expensive. The tall cabinet we did not attach to the wall nor made it permanent in case we got tired of it or ever sold the house and the new owners did not like the look. I wanted more storage so therefore that tall cabinet even though it might not be the most pleasing aesthetic design. Except for the granite, I installed everything myself, with a little manly brawn to carry the large items and help me move them around and position them, other than that it was all me.

be be as pretty but check out what's making me smile every time I pull into my driveway. I just felt like sharing!
