Iberis Masterpiece...too good to be true?
Comments (21)planted a few of these (AM sun and then again afternoon sun) and they have absolutely thrived, they were in bloom when i planted 8-10 weeks ago, flowers have not faded one bit and in fact the plant and flowers just continue to get bigger⦠wondering if at any point you need to deadhead for rebloom but for now just leaving them alone as they appear as fresh as you could imagine -- large bright white flowers covering what is now a 12" x 12" plant (started as 4")⦠maybe the reality will live up to the promise...See MorePricing for RELIABILT doors...too good to be true?
Comments (28)I just bought my 2nd Reliabilt barn door. The first one was easy to install with quality installation materials. Well the 2nd one NOT SO MUCH. What a disappointment. The “plugs” for where there are no studs were horrible. They fell apart, I promise it was professionally installed. There was no board for bracket (it was there for the first door) it turns out it IS it is important. Between purchasing new “plugs” PLUS A BOARD (We chose oak for durability) it was an additional $50+. I am terribly disappointed. I feel you probably don’t really care, however, I am sharing my disappointment. I will not tell my friends to use your product. BTW, this might be the reason Lowe’s has not been selling them🤷♀️, just saying. Donna Hammond...See MoreWhen is an open-box item too good to be true?
Comments (9)Through Amazon Warehouse I bought my kitchen/laundry faucet, bathroom sink/shower fixture, matching towel bars/toilet paper/hand towel/wall mirror, as well as lights for the bathrooms, exterior, bedroom, closet and hallway. I saved a bundle that way. It isn't the easiest to sort through all their stuff but can be worth it. My Blanco faucet was $100 instead of $381. My other really good deals were on some Hudson Valley lights that were more than 70% off. The really good part being if anything isn't as described ( I mainly bought "used/like new" or comes "repackaged") you can return it for free. None of those items needed to be returned but I have had other things that did....See MoreJust way too good to be true!!
Comments (42)My "greenhouse" is a metal 10x20ft carport frame, like the portable cheapo ones they sell at Pep Boys for around $100 on sale, etc with a white sorta sheer roof -some come with zippered ends/sides w clear windows, etc. We reinforce the sides with more metal posts where it goes into the ground. I buy the 6 mil. clear Painter's Plastic on a huge roll about 20 ftx 100ft for around $98 at Home Depot. I double the plastic by folding it over to make it 12 mil which is plenty for my climate. I use a portable propane heater if we dip into the 20F at night. In March, I take the plastic off and leave the frame up. I grow a lot of tropicals and plants that I want the seedpods to mature on. We get a few, to several freezes every winter here so I need a greenhouse for Dec, Jan and Feb only. I used to have 2 of these frames connected together for 20x40ft but I have cut back on plants the last few yrs lol. I dont know if you could make this work for you but someone might be able to get some ideas for a cheap ghetto greenhouse like mine lol. It has actually been through a few low strength hurricanes in the summer and several windstorms in the winter....See Morediggerdee zone 6 CT
