Hi esofva, Welcome to Garden Web, and The Plant Exchange. I thought you might like to know there is no email link on your Member Page, thus no one can email you. You also might want to add your Location and zone (if known) to your Member Page profile. See addressing newbie and newer member issues for an explanation and directions. Many members (myself included,) often do not respond to trade posts if they are clueless about where the member is located. Happy Gardening and Trading! You have some great trading lists. Sue

I'm new to GardenWeb and missed the GE in REdmond. I'm planning on attending your get together to meet everyone. I live in Totem Lake (N Kirkland). I've got some items listed for trade - and I'll be updating items that I'm looking for. Since I'm new to this, If no one wants/needs anything that I have, but I find something at your get together that I want/need - do I pay for it or ???. I'm aleady interested in the red hot poker mentioned above. Here is a link that might be useful: Lynda in Kirkland's Exchange List

Linda and Sylvia are exactly correct. If the agent that is showing a buyer a home, has no Agency Agreement with that buyer, then they are a sub agent of the seller by default. And most listing agents do not offer compensation to sub agents, as described above. I once had one LA demand that I show him my Buyers Agency Agreement midway through the transaction, in hopes that I did not have one, so that he would not have to pay me a commission. Kudos to Sylvia and Linda for being current on Agency Relationship laws, as I believe a lot of agents are not aware of this.

Califreckles, here is our Stages & Karbon feedback: Stages: the sink size really works well for us, both width and depth. My wife, who does a lot of cooking, was very psyched when she saw the Kohler video on Youtube, but is still figuring out how to maximize it's utility. She doesn't really have a routine yet for using the trays, cutting board, and bowls that come with it. One observation is that the purpose of all that stuff is make the sink space less of a black hole and more of a productive space, but with the counterspace that we have, that becomes less important. A WORD OF WARNING -- the two trays and the cutting board are meant to slide back and forth along the top of the sink. For us, the cutting board and the smaller tray do, but the larger tray stops about midway, as the countertop is not wide enough to accommodate it (by a millimeter of so, I am sure). thinking that the tray was at fault, I asked for a replacement tray from Kohler, which they provided, still no dice. Our fabricators actually took the physical sink with them after they templated to make sure that the hole they cut was adequate, but in retrospect I would have had them take the accessories to make sure that they fit as well. For us, a minor annoyance, not a big deal. Karbon -- We like the fact that you can place the faucet in any direction and it "holds" there. We have well water, and the water pressure in the house is acceptable but not strong. We would like the water to have some more pressure coming out normally (spray is ok), so we bought and installed some "high flow" adapter that Kohler sells, which did not make a noticeable difference. I think that says more about our water pressure than the faucet. One mishap we had was that our 8 yr old nephew was not familiar with the tap and pulled it toward him (as opposed to push it away), and pulled so hard that it snapped off. Kohler replaced it at no cost, but we paid for the install. Hope this is useful.
