I've missed YA'LL..glad to be back with Bluebirding friends!
Comments (4)Thanks Lisa and Janie for the warm welcome back!! Janie, the next time you vacation with fellow bluebirders, count me in if there's room...in fact, it might be really cool to have a BB convention/get-together with forum members...First, I'd love to put a face with a name, and then be able to talk about our beloved blues without anyone being bored!!!! It's difficult to share stories, talk about baffles, mealworms, fledging, etc., with those who really don't care....most of my dear friends had never heard of mealworms and were pretty grossed out with my explanation...LOL!!!...See MoreAnother NXR review
Comments (4)As a first follow-up we had the new gas line run yesterday and the range is now in. After a few friends helped get it moved from the garage to the kitchen and I had time and better light, I found a handful of minor cosmetic fit and finish flaws. It's still better than I actually expected; if you're reading this considering an NXR just don't expect it to be absolute perfection. There's one tiny dot in the top vent (rear of unit) that looks like a small center punch like you do before drilling. There are also a couple of areas where there are abrasions to the stainless. A few small areas of lettering around the knobs lack clarity as if the paint is rubbing off. I have so far found nothing that causes me concern or would motivate me to send it back. All of the burners light and adjust beautifully. We actually haven't cooked on it yet since it was a late and hectic day yesterday. I've also tested the oven burner and it lights the complete "U" properly. So all in all I'm content at this point. The door works smoothly, I can't find any enamel chipping, and the overall build quality is good if not perfect. After some experience cooking with it I'll update this post further. Or, of course, if we experience issues and have to work with Duro/Adco....See MoreHome deliveries
Comments (16)That does seem odd. But giving him the benefit of the doubt, if he was running late (after typical office closing time) he might have thought he was doing you a favor by bringing it to the house. That we you get it that day and not the next day. I have a different beef with UPS. We live semi-rurally, also, and we have a gate at the street and dogs. Sometimes a driver will put a box at the gate and sort of hide it with pine straw. I'm fine with that. But sometimes it's something that requires a signature, and I have to wait at home/come home to wait for it during the designated time frame, and get/keep the dogs inside for the duration. (And it's always something for DH, who works much farther away so it's always me having to be inconvenienced, but I digress . . .) One time the time frame was 10-2, or something similar. I went down at 9:45 to open the gate and found a sticker that he had already been there. When I called UPS to complain, I was told that the time frames were just approximations, and that the delivery could be any time during the day. Then why put the stinkin' time frame boxes on the slip?!?! I kvetched enough that they agreed to have him come back by at the end of his route and leave it. Another time I waited at home for something that the sticker on the gate the day before said required a signature. The driver came toward the end of the 2-3-hour block and just LEFT IT ON THE PORCH WITHOUT KNOCKING OR GETTING A SIGNATURE! I was livid. Clearly he just wanted the dogs put up and the gate open so he could drive up and leave it on the porch rather than at the gate, and thought the best way to accomplish that would be to tell me I needed to wait around for a signature....See MoreWhoopee it's cabinet day!
Comments (7)Sjhockeyfan -it was rainy outside but sunshiny in by house. Sherri--what a memorable birthday for you! Your DH is a sweetie. Amck2- thanks. This day was a long time coming.
