What would you pay?
Comments (7)OMGOSH! Those windows are so gorgeous. You'd be sick to know what we pay around here. At the craft mall the big one would be at least $100. I kid you not. Most paned windows start at around $35 and up. I'm so sick about it too. A few years ago when we moved I got rid of my old window stash. My DH basically sold them to a woman for less than $30. At the time I was just sure I wouldn't want them again...oh how wrong I was!! I'm LUSTING for old windows for garden projects, and I have some windows that need to be replaced and I want to use reclaimed, vintage windows for it. I should on be so lucky to find some so cheap!...See MoreWhat would you pay for this?
Comments (45)Stinky gardner, I know very little about aqua scapes except what I read here. There object it to sell a pond kit as you describe above. There is no mention of a bottom drain. I have seen two aqua scape ponds installed, they have wide shelves and load it up with small stones. By the next season everything has to be emptied out and cleaned and put back. They have maintenance programs (crews) that do this for you. Firstly it's bad for the fish, and hurts your pocketbook as well. Look for a pond builder that wants to install a bottom drain. The purpose of the bottom drain is to continually recycle the pond water through outside filter boxes that trap all the fish waste and everything else that makes a pond look swampy. We have a gravity fed system with three filter boxes outside. We also have a skimmer for the leaves in early spring and late fall, the rest of the time we don't need to use the skimmer. I would not build a pond without a bottom drain (unless it was very small) I have come across lots of ponders that wish they had a bottom drain, however I have never known a ponder that wished he didn't have a bottom drain. Also there are no rocks on bottom drain ponds except for a few large ones for astetics. We also have deep and wide shelves that are rocked all the way up and have pockets in the shelves for plants. Look through your phone book for landscapers that build ponds. Go see their work, before signing on with anyone. One thing about pond owners, they love to show their ponds and give advise to newbees. We build our pond ourselves, however if we were to have one built, I would insist on seeing at least three ponds the contractor built before signing on with someone.

Comments (2)I would tend to agree with strssbaby on the frame structure only. Figure you need to totally replace the plastic and if the ends are polycarbonate you will likely not be able to use much over half of it by recutting. I'd only pay 40% of new price for fans, louvers and heaters unless they are in exceptional shape. You got to be more careful of paying high prices for the mechanical accessories. They may not last as long as the structure. I'd also look at labor to tear the unit down. If the ground stakes are driven into rocky soil they may be damaged or need equipment to remove them. Plan on buying a cordless drill regardless to remove all of the tech screws and nuts. You'll need one to reassemble anyway....See MoreWhat would you pay for this sideboard?
Comments (24)It's definitely tiger oak. I think it is very pretty. I'm sure it's heavy and built like a tank. I have refinished several of my grandmother's tiger oak pieces and they have all come out beautiful, so yes, I do think with a little work that piece could be stunning (as long as there is no damage to the veneer like missing chunks) and I think it is certainly usable as is (though I like a bit of imperfection in my furniture -- that way it fits right in with the rest of my life, LOL!) $300 is a fair price - it's not a screaming deal but you're not overpaying either. And if you love it (or even just like it) I think you should get it. For $300 it can be one of those "good enough for now" things and you can always resell it for close to what you paid down the line even if it's years from now. Try doing that with a $300 IKEA particle-board tv console. And as to the 4 hour drive -- hubby and I are making a 6 hour one for a CL purchase this weekend, so I'm not one to talk. Our romatic valentine's date involves a 6 hour drive to pick up a piece of furniture from CL. Gotta love it!...See Moretom418
