Do you think that buying a low cost tractor means its junk?
Comments (41)lb-stanleyjohn bought an LA series JD recently and has started many of these threads to help ease his mind about the longevity of his purchase. Some of the threads are: Do you think that buying a low cost tractor means its junk? How long before your CHEAP lawn tractor fell apart. JD LA100 jerks alittle moving foward The LA100 Transmission Newer Lawn Tractors vs Old Lawn Tractors My JD LA100 died today! real bummer What he really wants is a little moral support from his peers to tell him he didn't make a bad decision purchasing a box store JD....See MoreWhere do you buy wire for low tunnel hoops?
Comments (22)Truck is running after charging the battery. Radio didn't sound weak (didn't check lights) but just not enough to turn over. DH cut 6 ft hoops out of the 9AWG wire and I got bird netting up over the strawberries (going to be a pain to get in there, we put so many pegs in to hold it into the ground and keep critters out). Pulled a bunch that strayed, waiting to hear if my cousin wants them, if not I might pot them up tomorrow to sell ? DD helped me pot up a couple dozen cherry toms that were outgrowing the 7206 (is that the right term?) 6 packs. DS helped DH put up the deer netting around the garden - DH put in T posts and cable-tied the ENT to them, but since he expanded the garden the 100ft we had from 2 years past wasn't enough. Only need 30ft more and I didn't want to cut the 100ft roll I bought at HD the other day so we just knocked off to clean up and run to local ice cream shop for burgers and cones before DS has another Scout thing. I swear he's got something going every night! Still waiting to get pix from guy who has the PVC fencing on CL. But the T posts with ENT will be fine for this year, not sure we should leave the netting (or the ENT?) out over the winter but not going to pull the T posts now. DH was cursing - I guess they don't have rocks in TX?! If I don't order from Farmtek or figure something by the time kale, etc. is ready to go in (tonight is 1st night outside) I'll just put up the 100 ft I have overlapping 70ft of it so I don't have to cut it - we'll probably expand the house garden more in the future, seems we do every year. Just means DH has to put in 2-6 more T posts ;-)...See MorePros/Cons to buying carpet from Lowe's
Comments (32)NEVER buy carpet from Lowes. Bought a whole houseful. Decent price, but discontinued less than two years later as Lowes is an 800 lb gorilla on the block and gets to tell Shaw Carpet Mills what colors and WHAT UNIQUE NAMES THEY WANT TO CALL EACH LINE so as to make customers presume you can only get their special Shaw carpet colors at Lowes. Two years later after spending 16k on carpet, I had a warranty issue. Dog diarrhea could not be cleaned out of my carpet guaranteed for 25 years against ANY and ALL PET STAINS. Had to go through Lowes for the warranty process because Lowes had taken over the warranty liability from Shaw in exchange for a lower price. Translation: Lowes gets to deny your claim (or slow walk it til it dies, so they can pinch a bit more for themselves in terms of profit.) Went to store. Sales agent told me there was no way our carpet could be found. "NOoo not that carpet - they dont make carpet that soft anymore. Oh yeah and we don't carry Shaw carpets, only Stainmaster, because we own it." (bs because Stainmaster is a fiber stain prevention treatment sold to carpet mills - not a mill brand or manufacturer itself. Luckily I know that but the dolts they hire to man the carpet section at Lowes did not apparently.) REDICULOUS LACK OF COMPETENCE!...See MoreDo people still buy china cabinets and if yes, from where?
Comments (37)I like China cabinets - my parents had one and I don't remember it ever looking denuded when they used the good China. Probably because I doubt they ever used all the place settings. My brother got the cabinet when they downsized to an apartment - I didn't have the space. Just as well. Knowing me, I'd fill it... nature abhorring a vacuum and all. I do have a nice corner cabinet which could serve as a small variant of a China cabinet. It is currently in my dining nook (and will move to a corner in my future LR when I move). While I keep China in the bottom unseen half, I display keepsakes like a few Hummel figurines, a hand-painted plate I made years ago, and various other keepsakes behind the upper glass. In other words, no dining China is on display. Just momentos I like that I fear the cats might like - in the wrong way - too....See Morelive_wire_oak
