Does anyone want a 10ft tall Azalea in SE PA?
Comments (2)You can move azaleas most anytime they are not stressed. They are still dormant now which make them even easier to move. They are hardest to move when in active growth in hot weather. We have had a very dry winter so it may be a problem. Rhodyman in Reading, PA Zone 6....See MoreAnyone bothered by GW pop-ups?
Comments (18)Funny-I was just noticing that these blasted things weren't popping up today! Good news. Incidentally, I mentioned having the issue here at work running Chrome, and not having the issue at home on my Mac. Thing is, I run Chrome at home too. I can't control what does or does not get installed here at work-part of a large network with IT people, etc. So the fact GW is dealing with it is best case for me. +oM...See MoreAnyone used "United Window and Door" windows?
Comments (31)I have experience with vinyl United Windows Pro Series that I purchased through Lowes in 2016 for my townhouse. They were new construction and I was wrapping the house with new siding so there were some issues with the installation. As you said the price was right and with the 15% discount, it came to under $1500. for eight windows. The cost included the double hung with features such as an inside colonial grid and extra tint to keep the in the heat in for winter and out for summer and a lifetime guarantee for replacement parts granted only to the original purchaser. After the first year, the service call fee is not covered in the warranty. Do call the company to address any questions about the install. I used my own contractor and he wasn't sure about the inside edge trim since the inside sill was 6 inches deep and just sheetrock. The company tech said I need to purchase sheetrock reuptake which was a vinyl trim that's installed around the window on the inside at the same time to hide the gaps between the sheetrock and the edge of the window. It looked like a square U shape of thin vinyl and was chalked afterwards. The only problem was it didn't come out as neat as I would have liked. There was some waviness so it didn't look seamless. The J channels and other finishing trim for the outside was ordered with the vinyl siding and not through United Window. Since I didn't have central air there was another issue with installing an air-conditioned. I was told that drilling into the window frame for any reason void the warranty. I needed to purchase vinyl strips that you cut to measure and snapped into place on each side above the still to the top of the window to keep the A/C from vibrating and as a security measure. You also void the warranty if you bend the bottom sill so your A/C needs to rest on an extra piece of wood placed between the sill lines at the correct height. Lastly is the the matter of cleaning them and they break if you don't pull them down properly. After after installation, set up an initial service to adjust the windows so they lock properly and get the pull down demonstration for cleaning. Take a video of it with your phone or you'll end up paying more. The balance rods snap and need replacement when the window is improperly handled. It happened after two years and I don't know whether it's because they're cheap or not but they do look real nice. Another issue is to take inventory of any chips on the sills or holes in the screens which may appear after installation. They'll replace all of this for free and they isn't any question on how it happened. I have said enough....See MoreDoes anyone here do the 10,000 steps daily?
Comments (17)Yes, I use mine daily. There are data that higher steps are related to a lower BMI, no surprise. I will use the treadmill desk at night if I am low, though if I am working I have to put it in my pocket and off the wrist. Correct, they are not perfect, and they don't pick up non-walking activity that well such as resistance training or spinning. I used to like the little one I wore on my waist like a pedometer, but they don't make that the One anymore. I have the Ionic which is large. I don't like to sleep with it, either, because it's too large. But this technology used to be only available to researchers and now they are great for consumers. However, people stop using theirs after 3 months or so, to go along with the new year's resolution. I also like that it reminds me to move if I haven't gotten up every hour. I will go to the bathroom and do some laps on the indoor track. I do Goal Day challenges with my sister and friend. I used an old fashioned pedometer steps was when we were in Paris early 2000's because that was the technology, and we had 30K per day! On the Great Wall a couple of years ago, I had 54 floors! Sure felt like it, too. Data from my conference in Charleston a few weeks back. Taking the stairs at the hotel, walking group at the conference, too. Our conference actually has planned activity breaks, so you can choose what you want to do. One of the days we used the Holy Spokes bikeshare....See Moreroselee z8b S.W. Texas
