Has anyone tried LawnBeltUSA.com ??
Comments (32)We purchased the lawnbelt products beginning of July and are incredibly disappointed. I had to rent a machine to do the canals for the hoses because my lawn is by no means as soft as what they show on their website so; Try to make a sample canal for a few feet to see if you have the same problem as I did. They do not ship their products in a timely manner, everything takes at least one to two weeks to deliver and if you need to order additional items or return something, well, with my situation, I returned a product on July 27 2014 and ordered the correct part while I had them on the phone, (Yes, I was pissed that this process is taking so long and mentioned they should make their web page a little easier to maneuver), the rep assured me they would mail out the replacement part and credit me the RMA as soon as received, so I ordered the replacement part via paypal while on the phone with the rep and told him I just ordered it, to date my lawn is still all torn up into canals and I haven't received the replacement parts or received any type of credit for the parts returned. I called their support line and they do not return my calls. All in all, I recommend what my landscaper said to me, if you are going to do it yourself, buy from a local store that way if anything goes wrong with a part or you need additional parts or need to exchange something, you're not looking at an additional two to three weeks.. Now my kids lost out the whole summer because the lawn was torn into canals and they couldn't play soccer or run around in the yard. Now I'm stuck with hundred of dollars worth of parts and the return policy is over and done with so I am at their mercy. And if I tell you how much I really spent; I know now there are no savings using LawnBelt's products. Sounded like a great idea......See MoreKonMari sort
Comments (25)I enjoyed the different cultural perspective on things. I have a strong aversion to going through somebody else's things, such as hubby's, and think it would be disrespectful to clean out his stuff, which is the most necessary. Unfortunately, many of the things I would get rid of are things we "inherited" from his side and he is still attached to so until that changes, the book is of somewhat limited usefulness in this household. I did appreciate the concept of laying your hands on everything and it is something I will be working towards. There are things that end up hidden in the back of cupboards that are easy to ignore and I think every year or so I should really pull everything out to evaluate. For me though, there is also the question of stamina. I really would love to work on the garage by pulling everything out but that would likely lead to a big, perpetual pile in the middle of the garage. This is where FlyLady has the advantage for me, breaking things up into manageable segments....See MoreRoman Shower - Has anyone tried this?
Comments (24)Notice that the FAQ on the site does not include information on the volume of water needed to fill the tub! Well, I did the math. Their smallest recommended size is about 65" long, 34" wide and filled about 16" deep for a bath. Note that this is not an impressive shower size. (The one in the ad is probably 60 inches wide.) That is 153 gallons of water. This 2 person air massage tub at 23" deep uses only 2 gallons more. There is a lot of cubic area lost to corners in a square tub. The one below uses 2 gallons less than the smallest recommended size and depth of your "Roman Shower" and it has a depth of 19.5" inches. Note that the woman in the Roman Shower video seems to have only 8" - 10" of water when she leaves the tub. Disabled, elderly, or otherwise less mobile people would have a heck of a time getting out of the "tub" with the Roman Shower, too. There is no heater for it, either. By the time it was deep enough for a bath, the water would have cooled a lot, warming up all the tile and substrate in the Roman Shower with its excess surface area with square corners. It may be a step above the home made sunken roman baths of the 1960s and 1970s, but it is nothing like a comfortable modern bathtub....See MoreHas anyone tried lightening SW Alabaster?
Comments (19)@Marylee H I was just comparing the specs on the colors after reading your super educational comments on other similar posts! I did find that Cold Foam is closest to Alabaster, just lighter and more neutral...which is exactly what I wanted! I happened to have the catalogue with the two colors included so I've been studying them, and Cheviot looks pretty yellow so I'm surprised to see that it's more neutral according to the chroma. Anyway, thank you so much for pointing out those colors (that I've unknowingly overlooked even though they were right here in my room all this time, ugh) and explaining the meaning behind the numbers! Paint colors are SO hard!...See More- 8 years ago
