Anyone take advantage of Corian Special Offer?

10 years ago

Corian has a special offer that ends today. Has anyone gotten this and if so, how much did it end up saving you?

I'm the one who painted her countertops a few weeks ago with the chalkboard paint to see if I wanted the soapstone look (which I thought I wanted for almost 2 years now!). After living with the dark countertops now, I don't think I do want dark in my small kitchen.

Thanks to you guys I went and looked at the new Corian yesterday, and have to take back all my old thoughts on disliking it! The new colors are very pretty. I came home with two samples, Witch Hazel and Jasmine. Heck, they even feel good!

I've seen everyones pictures of the Witch Hazel. Anyone use Jasmine and have a picture? Does it look darker than the small sample?

Getting excited now!

I did. I ordered all 70 sq feet of countertop from Home Depot. I got Witch Hazel which is typically $69/sq ft and I got it for $59/sq ft. Saved us approximately $700. The fine print at Home Depot indicated something like "save up to $400" but they applied the lower price to the whole order. We aren't quite ready for templating yet but the fabricator said to just call when we're ready...they didn't have a time frame on it at all.

I love, love, love so many of the new Corian colors. We are just not "rock" people so when my hubby convinced me to look at Corian, I fell head over heels!

Edited to add: I don't know if you're aware of it or not but you can order a larger sample directly from Corian. It's a 10x10 size and it really helped me decide.

I'll have to wait for the next deal. :)

When we put it in our current kitchen, we received a free sink. That was a $400 some dollar savings.

We are closing the first week of May on our new house. The current counter tops are faux wood laminate.. Blech!

I love the feel of Corian. I find myself rubbing it for no reason. Lol..

Anyone bombarded with gardening club/magazine offers?

I have gotten Sunset magazine off and on through the years, and I know it's not solely a garden magazine, but I enjoy their gardening articles. It's nice that it also has info on travel and cooking. But Sunset's focus is the West, so if you're east of the Rockies, it's not great for you. I also received Fine Gardening for a year, and I did like it, but I didn't like the price. With Sunset, I usually take a break from subscribing until they send me the $12/year offer, and then I resubscribe. I got an email from Taunton Press recently, which publishes Fine Gardening, and they have a special publication I'm interested in. It's called Great Gardens, and it's a soft-cover (magazine-style, I think) publication that has photos from the nation's "top 12" gardens and instruction on how to emulate them. I'll put the link below for it, but their site is not loading at this moment. Should clear up soon. Here is a link that might be useful: Great Gardens publication

Anyone take thyroid medication?
Q

Hi there...popping in to conversations this evening. I'm hypo, but my issue is different. TSH tells your body to make T4 T4 converts to T3 and Reverse T3 T3 is works at the molecular level in your body. In the US, most doctors will tell you that Reverse T3 has no impact. Others will tell you that R T3 will impart your body's ability to absorb and use T3. So back to me....I don't convert T4 to T3 well. When I Finally found someone who would treat me, my RT3 was through the roof and my T3 was really low. My TSH and T4 were borderline. I was exhausted and had gained a lot of weight - including a 20lb weight gain over less than three months. I actually went to an endocrinologist who told me he could see something was wrong, but couldn't treat me because my TSH and T4 were both borderline normal. It took 10 years to find someone who would look beyond the standard tests and help me. I am on a compounded T3 only. T3 has a short uptake, so many doctors who prescribe it will have you get a compounded sustained release formula. I've tried Armour and supplementing with T4 with no benefits. It is also not uncommon for hypo patients to also be low D and B. Here are some resources that helped me finally understand the condition. Mary Shomon is a thyroid advocate and has written many books on the subject. Google her for a link to her website. Her site lead me to Holtorf Medical Group in Torrance, CA. Their website is Holtorfmed.com. This is where I first started getting treated. My only caution is that while they were more aggressive with testing and research, he seems to be pushing for the money and I was less impressed with the other doctors in the practice. That being said, the website has very valuable information.

Anyone take advantage of that $1500 Gov Rebate for a Heat Pump
Q

Burnselk, I think the key to your confusion is that the amount of tax you pay after you do your taxes is some fixed number regardless of how much your withholdings are during the year. In other words, there are more than a few ways to come out "even" with the fed after doing your taxes such that you pay nothing and get no refund. 1) During the year, $10000 was witheld from your paychecks and after you do your taxes, it shows you owe $10000 in taxes. Net = 0. You owe nothing and they owe you no refund. 2) During the year, $1000 was witheld and after you do your taxes, it shows you owe $1000 in taxes. Net = 0. You owe nothing and they owe you no refund. In 1) above, the $1500 tax credit would get you a $1500 refund because $1500 is credited against the $10000 in taxes you have to pay resulting in a net of $8500. Since $10000 was witheld, the fed now owes you a $1500 refund. In 2) above, the $1500 tax credit would only get you a $1000 refund because $1500 is credited against the $1000 in taxes you have to pay resulting in a net of -$500. BUT since it is a non-refundable credit, the fed won't let you keep that extra $500 so the taxes you owe are $0 and not a credit of $500. Since $1000 was witheld, the fed now owes you a $1000 refund. Hope this makes sense... an example of a refundable credit is the Earned Income Credit. In that case, in scenario 2 above... you would get to keep the -$500 from the credit and your refund would be $1500. But this is NOT the case with the energy credit. Hope this clears things up a bit...

Can anyone offer me some hope?

**Note I hestiate to post here, I dont like arguements because I feel they detract from the issues the OP has posted about, and most of all they seem to be just a difference of opinion, but in this situation (and a couple of others) I just can not sit by while someone decides they are the end all in the subject. runswalken, you may know "STUFF" but your stuff is just that, stuff. Like junk food, junk science, junk business, junk investing and junk bonds, it is junk. Your "information" is woefully inaccurate and in need of some fine tuning. While some overbred dogs are more suseptible to genetic faults and difficulty, some are absolutely one hundred percent healthy and while mutts can have a stronger genetic make up, they can also be just as plagued with problems. Mine is one. I have a bull mastiff husky mix, upright back legs means $8K in corrective surgery, and life long issues with everyday running, jumping and playing and chronic pain. If you want to inform others get the whole facts dont just spout part of the whole truth. Like sweetchastity wrote, it is like you took a first aid class and are now feeling proficient in medicine. Genetics is a intensely complex field, still not completely without mystery to those in the field and for you to jump to conclusions about breeding animals by one medical episode (ie a seizure) without considering a specific animals (ie the OPs dogs) genetic lineage is just junk or stuff. Please educate yourself on the stuff you feel you naturally want to inform people about before you inform them. I am all for people educating people and people sharing what they know to be true and helping others, I love this forum and love it more when people and their pets will be living better lives for coming to this forum to post their problems, concerns, cares or issues with their pets. I can not stand the aspect of this forum where people looking for assistance get berated by those posting here. I hope the OPs dog is much better and that the pup can live as normal a life as possible - looks like the vet never considered the option of having the pup put down. I guess that vet really knows his or her stuff....

Granite is the woman at the dance with the stilettos and the seam in her hose.

Corian is wearing the flats.

When the car breaks down on the way home and somebody's got to walk...

Ha! Well, I've never worn or owned any stilettos, so I guess it makes no sense for me to try to now! Guess that's why I've taken 2 years to think about it. The stiletto ladies probably don't power wash their own home either! A guy wanted $750 then $550 to do my small house. That goes a long way on Corian!

$700 is a good savings! And I'm sorry about the faux wood laminate...sounds like my basement which also has faux brick, red plaid carpet and dark green wavy plastic glass on the cabinet fronts. It must have been a swingin 70's hangout back in the day!

HAHAHA...Trebuchet, that characterization of granite vs Corian fits me to a "T". I am the jeans and sweatshirt kinda girl who would rather sit around a campfire and drink beer than go to a dance anyway...but if I do need to walk my "barn" boots as I call them will take me much farther than those stilettos!! Thanks for the good laugh!

I wear flats and non-stiletto heels. They allow me to be spicy in other ways. Our Corian did the exact same thing for our kitchen.

Hey everyone,
I started a page on this website called, "Corian Countertop -Show your pics!" I'm hoping to gather corian/solid surface pics there to help those with an interest in corian.

http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0215032828120.html

It would be great to see pics of all of your countertops there, once installed.

To those who are still looking, there are several pics posted there that you may find helpful.
