Breck's 50% off Amaryllis Bulbs
Comments (5)Oh man! And it's not even Christmas yet! Things seem to get earlier and earlier every year... I'm not even ready to buy a bunch of new bulbs yet! I haven't even finished my outdoor garden work!...See MoreHELP! Am I being ripped off? $10,000 to change depth
Comments (10)You mean 20x40, right? Because 120x40 is freaking huge and I would say it would cost more! Are they adding rebar? Or just more gunite? I don't know how much this all costs (I am new to a pool myself), but I am just curious. 6" doesn't seem like that much (although I know it is a lot of area to cover for the entire pool). One note, our pool is 4' - 8'. Our kids cannot touch the bottom yet (with their head above water), but they have no problem whatsoever. All the adults can, however. We have only had our pool for a year and although I thought 4' was too deep (my wife wanted it so she could do flip turns while swimming), it has been just fine and when we go to pools that are 3 1/2' it feels really shallow (and kids always end up jumping into the shallow end, even if you don't want them to). Either way, you should get what you want. I think 10k is complete BS, but they have where they want you. Did you ask about 3 3/4' just to see what the price would be? I don't think the depths are science, it is more like "art." They put the rebar in place and they shoot the gunite to about what the depth should be. I am pretty sure that there is not many places where our pool is actually of spec depth. Just my thoughts and opinions, no expert, so take everything with a grain of salt....See MoreShow Off Your Breck's Roses
Comments (65)Those are all very lovely. Out of my nineteen I bought six of them are dying and I will have empty pots when I pull them out. A plant nursery in town is putting their own root roses on sale tomorrow for $15 each so since I have 6 empty pots you know I must go check it out. I really wanted Grand Dame and Bella Roma and those are the two that are dying. They have both of those in stock so I must go get them don't you think?...See MoreHow To Rip Off A Contractor
Comments (24)Dont have sinks delivered to customers, unless they’re the ones buying them. All sinks purchased by the business must be delivered to the business address. I suspect Joseph knows his business well enough to run it. However, I will note that drop shipping is incredibly common because it moves the risk of loss and damage to the distributor and off the retailer. In the end, the question for Joseph is: does a customer steal a sink more often than it gets damaged while in Joseph's possession? Even if that answer is in his favor there is still a cost of handling and storage that may well exceed the rare cases of this happening. Good businesses mitigate net expenditures and losses not just losses. ---- ETA: This also wouldn't happen if Joseph only accepted Cash. Sure he would be a lot poorer, but he wouldn't get screwed over like this......See MoreNancy
