Experience with current HE detergents at Costco?
Comments (3)We tried their Free and Clear, mainly because of their great price, but we were not too impressed with its cleaning ability. I must say that our impressions are somewhat subjective, but it just seemed that the Tide we had been using for a long time did a better job with our clothes. So we're using up the Free and Clear for washing such things as small throw rugs, rags, etc., and don't plan on getting any more. To be fair, it wasn't bad, but just so-so....See Moreany experience with pergolas with awnings attached?
Comments (2)Yes mud daubers will build nests in it when it's rolled up, but they'll build nests in anything. Yes, a strong wind can rip the awning right off of it's attachment points if it hits it just right, even if it's not open, bue especially if it's open. That's why you don't deploy it in the rain. It's for shade from the sun only, and frankly if you already have a pergola, you don't need an awning for more shade unless your vines are slow growing, and then maybe you need different vines. If you want a rain protected spot, then you need to expand your pergola or maybe add a polycarbonate roof to the one you have. Don't forget to explore local codes before you do this, because adding a roof will add quite a bit of uplift pressure to your pergola, so you want to be sure it's properly attached to it's footings as well as the roof being properly attached....See MoreAnyone with experience with Costco cabinets
Comments (24)Maybe I am the only dealer in the world who cares about not charging to much and being in line with the competition but it amazes me that the posts on here state that costcos price is very good or an independent dealer was about the same price! Hello!!!! Allwood is stock cabinet company with not choice in stain color and you are willing to pay the same price for it as woodmark or shennadoah at Lowes or Home Depot? Both those brands have a Limited lifetime warrantee. The book for All wood is about 1/4" thick vs 1-2" thick for woodmark or shennandoah! You pay higher prices for more choices. Honestly Costco is a rip off or any other dealer selling it at the price of costco. Without monthly promotions factored in the price before promtional discount is 100% mark up! That is crazy. They are laughing at you all the way to the bank. I have some of the least expensive brands around to offer to my customers. I have been able to match the price of volume deals in cabinets to beat out Reico selling Merilat cabinets to a 300 unit apartment complex and offer a lifetime warrantee on the cabinets used as well as give painted maple at the price of maple stain in Merilat. I got a 10% discount from the factory and marked it up 10% from the normal price giving me a margin of 20% total. I can mark that same cabinet company up 50% and be about even with shennandoah and woodmark. It is tough to sell a RTA cabinet higher then 50% mark right now stay competitive. 100% on costco is insane! Do not assume that because costco sells it is cheap. Otherwise you are a fool. 6 square has more interesting colors and door styles particularly inset at the lowest prices in the nation. 6 square is a lower priced product as well. Sunco is also another company that sells their cabinets with the same business model....See MoreLonger term experience with kitchen sinks and faucets from Costco?
Comments (3)I've had the Metro high arc https://m.costco.com/Hansgrohe-Metro-HighArc-Kitchen-Faucet-with-2-function-Pull-down-Sprayhead-in-Steel-Optik-Finish.product.11675569.html for several years (4?) now and haven't had any issues whatsoever....See Moresnookums
