I wonder if they do factory tours for the public? Horicon is a neat enough place to see anyways and a real plus when the geese are migrating. The 08 JD calender lists where different types of Deere equipment and where it is made.

Thanks everyone again! Carol, how are you going to keep the fresh leaves over the winter? I made mine with fresh leaves. They are one and a half inches thick. I got my inspiration for the column, or better say, I tried to copy Elder G. Jones's art. I hope it's OK to post his website link here. I know for sure he doesn't mind anybody getting inspiration from his work as long as is for your own use and not for sale. Here is a close up of something similar on his website: http://sandpudding.com/all_pudn_vws/flamp_rot.htm and here is his website link: http://sandpudding.com/ If you click on my column picture it will take you to my photobucket album where there is another picture of it Please contact me using my e-mail on My Page for more details and lots of bookmarks I can share with you. I don't want to bore anybody with unrelated talk

Not a casting issue. The same grates are fine in other positions and other grates that were fine, in other positions wobble if put in the wobble location. Mine has the diagonal wobble on 2 grates. The wobble occurs from the back left of the grate to the font right. This is on the back left and back right positions. Seeing what I read above, this seems to happne at least on two grates for those affected but the positions on the rangetop are not the same. When I go home I will try flipping around the grate supports and see if the position changes. Mine is being hooked up today. I also called capitol for the new trays and supports, since I can see I have the grate spacing/movement issue. I can see the grate hole wouldn't remain centered over the burner without them.

BKO, you really need to go to a furniture store and give the "butt test" to some sectionals with chaises to see if they will work for you. Being short, plump, arthritic, and not getting any younger ;-) I found the chaise part quite awkward to get up from, especially on a very deep/squooshy sectional as so many are, so they were eliminated from consideration almost immediately. Other people think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread so you really have to try it and decide for yourself. Even if a PB store near you doesn't have the right model, they're made by Mitchell Gold so you could look for a retailer selling MG, or just look for something with similar dimensions and proportions. Personally, I think that a regular style sectional would be better for sleepovers. This is the one we picked out: Flexsteel Jennings but envision one side with three cushions, not counting the corner, instead of two. It came out to something like 90x110-ish, luckily DH isn't overly tall so we both have room to stretch out. I really liked the cut-back arms for reducing the visual mass (but there's still enough arm to rest a head on comfortably! LOL) and having all square cushions means they can be shifted around in hopes that they'll wear more evenly.
