Glad to hear that everyone seems to be safe. Around here, we are far enough inland that we didn't expect to be hard hit, but it ended up being pretty mild. Lots of rain, but that was about it. Our power stayed on. Some stuff I intended to bring in off the deck, but forgot, didn't move an inch. We decided to go out and run some errands this afternoon. The storm was past and the skies were sunny and clear. The only damage I saw was the next door neighbor's FOR SALE sign on her house was hanging from only one of the 2 hooks that holds it up, and a rather large tree branch was down. I know in harder hit areas there are some deaths, lots of flooding, and millions without power. I'm just glad it wasn't worse. Casey

I would advise you avoid doing business with AZ tile and Dean Jessup specifically. We had a horrible experience with them. Don't expect them to act with integrity or stand behind their product. We used a fabricator that was a personal referral from him. When we had discoloration and fingerprints that wouldn't come off of our Della Terra quartz he informed me I must have "scarred" it by cleaning with a paper towel. ( I called him within an hour of the fabricator leaving). We paid beyond stone to buff it with a cleaner at their recommendation. It mostly resolved the issue although as a result of the buffing the gloss and sheen no longer match our perimeter counters. Best we can figure out the fabricator applied turtle wax or something similar to disguise striations around the sink cutout. Which is why fingerprints couldn't be cleaned off. We still have some smudges. Bottom line rather than try to help us resolve the issue he was hostile and accusatory. He said the fabricator (a friend of his apparently) said it was fine so we must have done something. Do business with them at your own risk.

Well, some confusion has been cleared up for those of us who could not see fuzzy-wuzzy's missing post. It is now (a day and a half later) visible above. (it's the one date stamped 11:49 a.m yesterday.) No idea why it wasn't visible yesterday. But having seen that post, I agree even more with Jakvis's comment "... nothing stated here .... takes away from your personal experience with Elux." Maybe I can remedy that. ;>) The OP was "furious [that] Electrolux ... refused to send a replacement immediately." Not clear if the objection was that: (a) Elux didn't have somebody immediately deliver a replacement dryer or (b) didn't overnight a replacement thermister to the repairer. Either way, the complaint begs the question --- what other manufacturer/brand would have done anything differently? None of them. at least as far as I can tell. Read the fine print in the warranty you get with almost any appliance these days and you will find that they all can do what Elux did here. So, while I don't like the way warranty claims are processed these days, it isn't just Electrolux that does things in the way that infuriated the OP. Anybody who has been subjected to this kind of warranty support will want to lash out at those f#*(ing b@$~@&ds and say to never buy anything from them ever again. When the other b@$~@&ds all do the same things, too, it seems to be a pointless threat. When one find out how slowly warranties work, there's a natural wish to lash out. Strikes me that the OP wound up lashing out at us because lashing out at the company wasn't likely to have much effect. So, are we completely helpless with this kind of problem with a new appliance? Unfortunately, these days, I see only two rather limited options available to us. One is what sashiniki suggested which is to buy your appliances from a vendor with both its own support service and the ability (and desire) to respond quickly. Also, it is great if your vendor is willing and able to exercise leverage with the manufacturer but that process is neither certain nor quick in my experience. The other option is doing what the OP wound up doing --- return the defective appliance for a full refund. This option assumes you had the luck or foresight to buy from a retailer with a liberal return policy and assumes you have the capabiity of hauling the thing back to the store.

Sorry, but I have difficulty understanding your question. You are repainting a dresser, and need help with color, but DON’T like gray, is that correct? photos would be helpful. But without photos, I’d suggest green.
