Hudson Reed Faucets - Good or Bad ?
Comments (55)@ Vinita Bali Actually, Vinita, the defective casting was probably new, just not very well cast. Casting, whether sand or mold casting, is not always a precise process. The flow of the molten brass may not be even, resulting in voids in the finished product that engineers call "holidays" (Why "holidays", I don't know. We call them "holes".). If the holes are big enough, the casting is scrapped and melted down to make a new casting. But, some companies patch small holes with a solder or braising material. Not the best solution, but it works most of the time. Not in your case, however. Looks like the solder patch was a "cold patch" that did not adhere well to the underlying brass. My point is that if Hudson Reed (actually Limitless Digital Group, Ltd.) says it was a new casting, it most likely was. When the company admitted the defect, but denied your claim, did they deny their obligation to 1. Replace the defective part, or 2. Repair the damage to your kitchen resulting from released water, or 3. Both? If they denied just 2, it's because of a clause in their warranty in which they disclaim all liability for damage to anything other than the product itself, or what lawyers call "consequential damage". This disclaimer is very common, and almost never works in court due to some basic procedural defects in how the warranty is delivered endemic to internet sales. But, companies use it to bluff you into thinking they do not have to pay for consequential damages, and most consumers are fooled by the bluff. Kudos to you for pushing on and making them pay in the end. Most people would have given up. I wish you would tell your story to our readers by adding a comment to the bottom of our review at http://starcraftcustombuilders.com/sources.faucets.Hudson.Reed.htm. I'm certain they would appreciate it. Thanks for the insight.

Comments (111)Hi Julie from Denver, I just went running on the trail here as the health club is shut down because of the Corona Virus. So I go out there and this old man told me I had better stop the jogging and this women put her hand on her hip and told me I am just showing off. Thank you for your kind post. It's overwhelming to pay all this money for a house and realize early on I have to move, sell the house, pay the big realtor fees, pay movers. But, I made a mistake and no one knows these things until they live in these places. Yes, Devorah could not attack me fast enough. She can't do the math of how old my parents would be and goes on to say my mother must have been raped at 13 and then says I am an ageist, right after I said she would blame me for what she is doing. This is the thing too, like if they hit your car, you are the bad guy somehow. If you jog, you are the bad guy. If they attack you for no reason, no matter how vile and you can see they are lying, they blame you. I think these older people in the sheltered communities where everyone is old and everyone is white, they have no ability to take responsibility for their actions. I think it is because they have been here for 20 years, they know everyone so they can simply gossip about the newcomer and control the situation. The HOA becomes a weapon people can use to mess with you. I bet I will be hearing from the HOA that it is not okay to run on the "walking" trails soon enough. Yes, I am glad I figured this out early on and I am happy to be leaving. I'm moving to an apartment in Midtown Sacramento May 5th. I'm happy to get out of here but obviously not happy to have to put the home on the market and deal with realtors and movers and all.

Comments (176)Hi Donna and Joey (and everyone else reading this), I miss the forum so much! It was a pleasure to take a quick peek today. I was recently in contact with Living Gardens. I'm sorry to report the news contained in these excerpts included in messages received from their representatives. 'LivingGardens.com has currently shut down operations while we undergo some organizational changes, and we will not be offering any bulb products for sale this season." "We will notify you if and when Living Gardens comes back. It will definitely not be for this season, but perhaps next. So, there won't be any 'Thai Thai' bulbs from this source. I'm happy that I received 'Thai Thai' among the "Mystery Mixed-Up" bulbs from Living Gardens last season. Hopefully there will be another supplier this season.

Comments (21)Hi all The pot was one of many suckers I potted up two springs ago. That particular one went as a wedding gift to my cousin. It's also a good example of the bare structure of the rose. I have not actually seen this particular rose growing in any of the many gardens around town, though I have by no means conducted a thorough search. (other examinations have come up with a very lovely rambler I would like to get a cutting from, as well as some antique pallida iris I wouldn't mind getting some rhizomes from, but I digress) The website I found which led to my initial identification was actually a Finnish website, which I had to translate, but which I believe was about someone discussing The Nordic Rose/Mustianruusu. They had some great pictures, and some of them could practically have been taken from my very plant- I instantly recognized the buds, sepals, and its very annoying habit of producing far more buds then ever manage to open, year after year, regardless of care. A habit I have not managed to get my plant to break either. There are always about 1/8 of the buds which yellow and die. Initially I thought there was a nutrition or insect problem, but no. It's just a very typical issue for this rose. Or at least in Europe, and according to this Finnish source it was. I will see if I can find the site, google translate is far from perfect, but it was very interesting. I try very hard to avoid like the plague the Banshee/Minette discussion, as it is very confusing, and nothing is very settled amongst the many possibilities which are out there. I am happy enough to say my rose is definitely of the Mustialanruusu type, and leave it at that :)...See MoreDebbieON zn4-5

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoRed Eyed Shocker never took off here. How would you evaluate Bob Faulkner? Are the colors fairly bright?
Redheaded Hussy --not as good this past year as in 2015 (no rebloom this year, for example), but still nice
Roman Cohort
Royal Girls --striking color
Another Rose Masterpiece --can come in big bouquets
Ruby Grandeur --well budded (these are recently divided)
Ram --can make quite a statement, but not strongly budded
Rose F. Kennedy --takes great pictures, but I'm not sure I'm a devotee. Plant habit has been rightly criticized.
Rock Solid --so vigorous that I can see why it has been used a lot in hybridizing.
Ruby Storm --I concur that it is a very good cultivar. Of course, it also takes a good picture.
Red Skeletons--I like this one a lot. Haven't seen it at full clump strength. Maybe it has weaknesses when larger, but if you like bold coloration and strong stems, well...

Rich Girls --this evergreen didn't thrive here, but it came just before a -20 winter without snow cover.
Real Wind --I keep it for the color. Many visitors are drawn to it.
Red Suspenders --I never liked this one that much. Color was a bit rusty looking.
Red Razzle Dazzle --I don't remember seeing this one last year.
Of course, a Ruby Spider pic. It wasn't at its best last year.

7 years agoQuiet Wyatt is my only Q.
Ruby Lipstick's base color is not very white in my garden.
Ruby Grandeur is a plain flower but a great grower. It is a beautiful shade of red--hard to catch with the camera.
The first flowers of Royal Renaissance were nasty last summer. It heard me saying that if it didn't shape up, it would ship out, so it produced these lovelies.
Royal Extravaganza was new last year.
Rossen's Best Edge has the most extreme edge of anything we grow. We do not know if it is hardy. We keep it in the greenhouse overwinter in fear of tenderness.
Rocky Mountain Sunrise is not as tall as we would like, but it is quite vigorous.
Rocket Blast was one of Bob's picks because of the bright color.
Rock Solid is a great breeder. It sets many pods and each pod contains many seeds.
Road to Dixie is a small-flowered one.
Next set is coming up.

7 years agoRemembered Kisses is a great grower and the color is luscious.
Red Star Nebula is not yet well established.
Red Neck Riviera is doing well.
Red Friday is a terribly erratic flower, often blotchy and ill-formed. This was the best we have even seen from it and we have grown it since 2012. We keep it because of its breeding potential. The plant is tall and vigorous otherwise.
Rattlesnake Rake is an interesting bicolor.
I love the delicate color of Raspberry Sickle.
Raspberry Flambe can have beautiful flowers when they are not blotchy, but the tall scapes don't want to stand up.
Raspberry Butterflies grows quite tall in our garden.
Raggedy Man is one of our favorites, It's not very tall, but it's one of the last to bloom in the garden. We love the color and the edge on the flower.
Radiant Ruffles is a small-flowered one.

7 years agoRAMBUNCTIOUS ROSIE - this is a second planting of it that I have which came up with short scapes but the blooms are so pretty.Hoping for a better upcoming season.
RED MAGIC - First time in many years of having this one that it bloomed shorter than normal and less blooms. But look at all that foliage. Maybe time to divide it.
RIBBIT RIBBIT - another favorite of mine from Judy Davisson. Just a spectacular bloomer and increases so fast. I do believe this year I will need to divide it as it is outgrowing its spot.
ROSE MASTERPIECE - shorter this year and less blooms. I also noticed I had less rollback on the blooms as I typically see from prior years. I moved it in the fall so hopefully it will like its new spot. Always a great addition to any garden.
ROUEN CATHEDRAL - divided in the fall of 2015 and it did have shorter scapes and less vibrant color which I guess is from our drought this past season. One of my favorites from Thoroughbred Daylilies as this one blooms late here in my garden.
That is it for the ones I took pics of.

7 years agoNice ones everyone! Here's mine [no Q's]:
Radiant Moonbeam. reliable mid season, though last year was rather skimpy.
Red Grace. I really like its edging.
Red Volunteer is my favorite of the regular reds. It does need some shade as it will fade.
Regal Heir
Rob Cobb very tall, reliable
Rocket City
Royal Occasion. Late, short, fades so needs some shade
Red Skeletons. I like it a lot but it's never come even close to it's 40" registered height.
Regal Finale reliable late, slow to increase
Russian Rhapsody an early reliable Munson

7 years agoThe only Q I currently grow is Queen of Narnia. It has been a terrific performer for me over the years. Last year was the first that it did not rebloom. It was the only one of my near whites that DID bloom. Since it's such a fabulous Q, it deserves two pictures.

7 years agoMy very best R is Ruby Lipstick. I guess the heat here must bleach out the petals more. The petal color here is not white, but it is a cream white. Even last year, when most daylilies here had low bud counts and more than 70 did not bloom at all, Ruby Lipstick had bud counts in the 20s and rebloomed on two fans.

One of the first blooms in June in full sun.

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoBrad and David, RASPBERRY SUEDE is indeed a dark flower; however, it can be VERY dark ( like in my photo above) when the nights are cool, which can often happen here in NH in late summer. It has a very rich coloration which reminds me of crushed velvet. It is hard to capture it's unique coloring in a photograph. I did find a couple photos to represent what it looks like here during hot weather so you can compare these to the one I previously posted.
These were taken in full sun.
