I tried to unmuddle these folks, mainly because a warranty is only as good as the company offering it. They have at least five different websites (after that, I stopped looking.) Kinda confusing to have so many different sites, some with different phone numbers, but they are obviously working on building an internet presence with websites and blogs (mostly non-helpful copy written for internet search engine benefits, nothing wrong with that.) My guess is the EarthCare greenhouses have to be at least partially manufactured outside of the US because of the low cost, which still makes me wonder about the panel quality (based on my experience with the Harbor Freight Chinese-made panels.) Here is what I've turned up, in case it helps other folks too. This website has the following: "EarthCare Greenhouses is a family owned wholesale and retail company based out of Youngsville, Louisiana, United States. The company is owned by (family names.) Currently, the company employs 4 full time employees and 3 part time employees, most are from the United States, but there are employees living in the Philippines and Romania. Their product line is carried exclusively by EarthCare, within the United States of America. The greenhouses are extremely unique and are built with many features not found in traditional greenhouses, found in the United States. Before the year 2011, EarthCare products were only available and sold at retail pricing, but in January of 2011 the company began accepting wholesale applications for verified U.S. businesses." On www.ourcrazydeals.com" they list a wide range of greenhouses. This site's About Us page says: "Our Crazy Deals is a part of the family owned company Segura Trading LLC, the company was founded, in 2000, with a mission to provide high quality products and services to our customers. We sell a full line of Outdoor Hobby Greenhouses of every brand, style, and price range, also a wide selection of Compost Gardening Equipment, Hydroponics Growing Systems, (etc etc.) The majority of the products we sell are stored in our main warehouse, in pictures below, located in Youngsville, LA United States. Orders usually ship out within 1-2 business days and can be expected to be received in 1-2 weeks of purchase." From www.bestgardengifts.com": "The EarthCare brand is our custom line of greenhouses and green products that are manufactured in Louisiana or China. You will not be able to find this brand on non-affiliated websites. We handle all warranties in house." On www.minigreenhousekits.com they list a range of greenhouses for sale. This site does have a sorta quirky "Who Are We" statement: "Mini Greenhouse Kits is a family owned wholesale and retail manufacturing and distribution company, that strives to bring environmentally friendly products, to consumers at the lowest possible prices. Our goal is to promote the maximum amount of green living influence possible, within the United States of America.

Greenhouses for Sale Store was founded on January 1st, 2011 by Segura Trading LLC. Segura Trading is a family owned company, founded in 2000, that manufacturers and distributes professional greenhouse gardening tools and supplies in the United States, at both a wholesale and retail level." From www.earthcaregreenhouses.com: EarthCareGreenhouses.com is owned and operated by Segura Trading LLC, a family owned company established in 2004. The company is based out of Lafayette, LA with our headquarters in Youngsville, LA. We are the sole manufacturer of the EarthCare lines, which includes every product for sale on this website." This is the website I emailed yesterday, asking for info about their UV coating, and they haven't answered me yet. Since this website deals only with the Earthcare greenhouses you're interested in, this is the one I'd call. The Twitter Page for Segura Trading: "Lafayette, Louisiana; Segura Trading is a family owned company that manufacturers gardening equipment and sell on Amazon, Ebay, Buy.com, and many more places around the web." The Facebook page for OurCrazyDeals.com: "Since 2002, Our Crazy Deals has been providing gardeners across the United States with the best gardening tools and accessories, and at the best price. The company has 2 warehouses in which products are stored and shipped out everyday." ourcrazydeals is also a huge eBay seller, with overall feedback that's quite good (that's encouraging!) I found one comment about a Grow N Up greenhouse from a recent buyer: "Instruction were only pictures, no descriptions, made construction very vague." Personally, I'd call, and have a detailed conversation about the Grow N Up greenhouse. I'd ask specifically about the panel warranty (the biggest appeal, to me.) If they are the manufacturer, they could tell you how long it's been for sale, and if they have had to replace panels under the warranty. You could ask how the panels are installed on the greenhouse frame (a known weakness of the Harbor Freight kit, although easily remedied.) Do the panels attach with clips? Insert into grooves in the frame? Do the panels have a UV coating on one side, clearly marked so that side faces out for installation? (If they say no to this, beware, since Harbor Freight ducks this question too, and this was my first clue that the panel quality was gonna be a problem.) If I had to buy another greenhouse I'd probably buy a Harbor Freight, since it's a known quantity. I like the PDF file on their website to the entire construction manual, so you can really see exactly how the thing goes together, before you buy it. But, the Grow N Up might be a good value too, if you're willing to take a chance on a greenhouse that doesn't seem to have an active community of owners posting about it on the internet (at this time.) Maybe you can have a good exchange with them. This GardenWeb thread from last month mentioned the name EarthCare in the title, but didn't seem to turn up any EarthCare owners: Any experience with Earthcare greenhouse? If you do order the Grow N Up, I hope you'll post back with your experiences.

First, all 'tv repair guys' are not professional, nor do they 'know their stuff'. Just like doctors, lawyers and indian chiefs. Unfortunatly, the one that you had didn't know 'squat'. The ic that was replaced on the picture tube circuit board, was the crt driver, which means picture tube driver. If it is defective, you will have 'NO PICTURE - EVER'. That's no biggie. The dark square that is showing on the screen, after the tv repair guy, checked the set, is caused by a menu adjustment. On the customer menu, 'TEXT' is turned on and should be turned off. Your first symptom was the set turning off, with a black screen with colored lines across the screen. This symptom indicates a failure in the "vertical circuit". A failure in the vertical circuit causes the picture to turn off. This is a safety circuit to prevent burning a line in the phosphor, thereby protecting the picture tube. 'Vertical failure' can be caused by defective solder connections on the vertical ic. This is due to the heating and cooling, ie expanding/contracting of the connections. First, resolder the ic connections. They may appear 'good', but resolder anyway. I believe that the leads can be reached by just turning the set up on its side. The vertical ic is located at the rear of the circuit board. A 'clip' holds the ic to the metal frame(heat sink). If that doesn't cure the problem, you will need to replace the vertical ic. IC7471(TDA8359J). good luck, pw

We used MW Freedom 800 windows in our cabin project and have been very satisfied. We did look at the Jeld Wen and Andersen but the MW were around 30 to 40% less and quality appears to be very good. I can feel no drafts and we have had no issues since installation. Let me say something that you probably already know, that is the installation of the window is actually more important than the actual quality of the window. Second, the support provided by the company in the event of an "issue" is of great importance. I would ask your supplier about how well MW handles product issues and if the response is satisfactory. We paid a little more buying through a contractor supplier [Builders First Source] than we could have going through Lowes but the supplier provided us with good advice and support. We did have one window that was damaged during delivery and the MW company rep replaced it with no questions asked. Our supplier gives MW high marks and the quality is very good. I like the windows and support.

We had our Bosch 800 dishwasher installed this week and last night I noticed something cutting my fingers while loading it. Upon closer inspection I realized the hidden button control panel is pulling away from the top of the dishwasher, exposing a thin piece of sharp metal. We've only run it once since having it installed. Anyone have this happen? What's the fix? I guess I'll call on Monday and set up an appt. to have someone look at it. This kitchen remodel has been one annoyance after the next!!!
