is this too far along to stop it til Christmas?
Q

Thought I would give you and update on stalling growth. So, I put it in the coolest part of the basement at about 50 degrees in mostly dark for a couple of days. THen I decided to put a box over it for the rest of the week to be completely dark and keep the temp consistent too. At the end of the week it looked almost the same. The bud was fuller but not open. Then I delivered it (Dec 8) and told her to put it in bright but not direct light, . Yesterday she sent me a picture of it and told me one flower is ready to deadhead: I told her to try to push the 2nd bud along by putting it in the sunnier spot. I am disappointed that it was not a great specimen for her first amaryllis (half) attempt. Only two flowers on the first stalk and the dwarfed 2nd stalk is not so great. Given how it started out, I don't think the week under the box affected that. Although it may have affected the height of the "taller" stalk. I would think that the number of flowers was determined already. I don't think it was destined to be that great from the start. But it was interesting to try that stalling attempt. I might try it again with some of my late bloomers.

sheesharee, Thanks for the tips on the paint and clear coating. Have you considered using a red or cranberry colored cloth instead of the green? Which ever matches the color in your runner. I think it might contrast better. Especially if you use something with a shimmer or sheen to it. I also had the same thought Lovesummer had; placing them on the counter and bunching up the fabric at the bases, instead of putting them in the basket. They might be more stable that way. I know they won't be as tall as you had envisioned but they may be more stable that way. You can still get the varied heights, using bricks or other heavy objects to set them on, then bunch up the fabric to hide the elevators. These trees sure are a whole lot heavier than I would have thought they'd be. I think you've done a fabulous job on them! Getting the display just right is trial and error and keep playing with it until its perfect. Its sometimes harder than making the stuff that goes on display.

How far in repairs can $100,000 go -- in the Midwest?
Q

I don't think there's any way you can do all that you list for $100,000 unless you do a ton of the work yourself. I lived in in a 4 square St. Paul for 4 of the 9 years we were in MN and am now in greater Chicago - prices aren't all that different for labor and in fact, they are probably cheaper here. I wouldn't be surprised if you get quotes of $10,000 for electric and I assume that you'll be adding outlets; $5-10000 for plumbing; roof would be anywhere from $2500 - ? depending on the condition of the sheathing and whether you go with shingles or tile. If tile, tens of thousands; furnace and boiler - why do you need both? The cost of a boiler alone will start at around $3000-4000 and go up from there. Furnace will be more. Add installation. You don't mention if you have radiators or will need ductwork. If ducts, add on for that; a kitchen - you haven't mentioned the specifics of what you are thinking - that could be $20,000-$100,000 depending on whether you need cabinets, appliances, flooring, lighting etc and how upscale you go; Bathroom - cost of the tile which, depending on your taste, could run from a couple of hundred to $3-4000. Then installation which'll probably be around $2000; gutters including installation - we had this done on our garage this summer for $750 including the parts - a house will be more; floor refinishing - we had our St. Paul 4 square done, both floors, in 2000 for $1400; Fixing where the porch is torn off - no clue on that one; no clue about stucco. Lucy's right - keep 20% for the "unexpected" - you'll spend it. In any project, it's the labor that's the killer. If you do work yourself, you'll save a ton. If you general contract yourself, you'll save alot. I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I think you'll be very surprised at how fast $100,000 can go through one's fingers.

We walk...next door...on Christmas day...and open presents, have dinner, eat too much, have coffee and celebrate the neighbor's birthday at 8:34pm (the moment she was born). We've been doing this about 15 years now. We love our neighbors like they were family. Jodi-

Yoyo, that is mean! I had two Christmas titles by Agatha Christie to add!
How about Santa Baby? Two titles there, one is short stories by Lisa Jackson et alia and the other is similar with one of the stories written by Jenny Crusie. I wanted that one but was a bit careless with my order!
