My first experience with Samsung service. It is terrible. I Bought 55" LCD TV in 2008. For the last one year it is talking long time to turn on. It just keeps clicking for 5 minutes. I checked internet and saw many complaints , similar to problem I have. I learn there was class action suit filed. It was quietly settled in 2011. They gave 18months for people to take advantage,, but they never informed the TV owners. I called them recently, and I was told I am out of luck. Now I will have to spend $300-400 for parts and labor. I had to stay on phone line for 40 minutes before I gave up and went on Live Chat. Obviously, they do not want to talk to customer. Their customer support for US is in India. This experience is very different from what I have with GE, for example. Samsung has developed an attitude with their success. No more of this. I am not going back to them. I have plenty of options.

we were just quoted a recession special where a gunite pool will start at 33,700. that includes a deck, coping, pool itself, permits, electrical work, and one light -- pretty basic stuff -- nothing fancy. after you add in some features (stones and a sheer descent waterfall), it actually goes up to 40k, which isn't too bad. we live in northern va. i noticed that this was the only company in the area that is doing a special.

I doubt anyone can rec either for you. They sold about seven ovens during their short life and had no parts or service network of any kind when they were here. That said it was an oven with another computer and interface strapped to it . So, in theory, a patient and seasoned tech with an electronics background could troubleshoot what was wrong and repair it. Key words here are could and in theory. I doubt you are going to find someone with the requisite skills that is willing to poke around that thing. It's also possible that the board level parts just aren't available either. Would you be willing to pay someone $100+ an hour for say 5-6 hours for an assessment ? That means absolutely NO GUARANTEE that your money spent will result in a working oven , it's just for a consult or feasibility study. If your answer to that is no, then you need to start shopping for a new oven.

I've been on hundreds of home inspections. Almost every first time home buyer reacts this way. First, a home inspection is mostly to educate you on the workings of the house. It is not supposed to be used as a renegotiating ave, UNLESS, something major shows up that could not be seen before the inspection. That being said, here are my thoughts. 1) Drainage pipe is overgrown with roots How does the inspector know this? Are there actually roots coming out of the drain somewhere? This is probably the biggest concern of your whole list. 2) Negative drainage in yard Negative drainage? What does this mean? Poor drainage? Does this mean in the spring and winter you may have a wetter lawn than in the summer? Is this causing a problem in the house somewhere? 3) Furnace does not meet code, it needs to be 6 inches away from the wall, it is only 3in (fire hazard) Does the furnace meet code for the year built and installed? 4) Electrical wiring problems in attic (fire hazard), and faulty outlets in kitchen and basement What does this mean? Most attics don't have electric except for a light bulb, is there an extension cord that shouldnt be there? Kitchen, No GFCI Outlets? They are $18 a piece and any homeowner can do it. 5) leaking kitchen pipe under counter, leaking bathroom diverter for shower Is this the kitchen sink pipe? Easy fix, seller could easily repair, same for shower 6) No heat source in downstairs bedrooms (does not qualify them as bedrooms according to inspector.) Are they legal bedrooms and were they included in the listing as bedrooms or are they just rooms in a basement being used as bedrooms by the homeowner? 7) Furnace "short cycles" and doesn't function properly Seller should have furnace serviced. 8) no insulation in attic I would ask for a credit for this. 9) only 1 smoke detector, and 0 carbon monoxide detectors. There should be 5 of each. (4 bedroom house). In my state, this is mandatory, seller must install prior to closing. If not mandatory in your state, this is $200 fix. NO HOUSE IS PERFECT! NONE. I saw a list of 50 items on a brand new construction one time. I would get more specifics on the furnace, (is it to code for the house? Home inspectors are not code inspectors, they should not even be commenting on what is code and what is not code)
