Dacor Ovens: Quality Concerns
Comments (76)Problems are not just with the Millenia. Let me preface this by saying that I installed 2 different Dacor ovens in 2 houses we lived in and had no problems in 10 years but that was in the 1990's when they were not having manufacturing issues and quality issues. When we moved into my current house I had a 30" classic Epicurean wall oven installed and had problem after problem. I bought one and after 9 months the panel went out and it would not heat or do anything. Dacor replaced the panel and it worked for another 3 months them went out again. Dacor replaced the oven. The new oven worked for 10 months and the temperature controls went out and it was heating to 550 no matter what it was set to. After replacing multiple parts and it not working they replaced the oven again. This 3rd oven worked for 6 months and went out while I was trying to prepare food for a dinner party for 70 guests. That was it. I replaced it with a non- dacor oven and will NEVER buy another dacor again....See Morehelp -- ipe 6x6 quality concerns
Comments (8)You are going to have small nicks, gouges and scratches in natural wood just from handling it. What I am seeing can be taken care of with nothing more than a small hand wood chisel, medium and fine grit sand paper. If the builder is a good one that takes his time to look at the wood closely as he builds. Such defects can be hidden by turning them to the inside, using them in corners near the house or cutting them out if possible. I like to lay the wood out and inspect it before I start. That way I can plan the best use for such wood with defects, And When working with heartwood on a deck. I like to take the extra step and lightly sand it with 400 to 600 grit paper using a 3M rubber sanding block before applying the finish... Something I do not have to.. But people loves the outcome....See MoreWater Quality Concern
Comments (6)Lantana I don't blame you for purchasing the arrangement, it really looks nice, including the container it is in. Looking at the original photo, what you consider 'amazing growth' is most likely etiolation - plant wants much more light and it is stretching, trying to reach some. It also lost the red coloration, which many succulents will have if in sufficient light. It looked like a rosette, but now there seem to be few individual stems. Would you have close up of the plant when bought? Also, could you take close up of it now? I can't ID it at this time - 2 pics look very different. Try to give it more than just filtered light. Plants will get very lanky, and possibly start drooping. It will not kill them, but it will weaken them and they won't look that great. Can you get at least a floor lamp with at least 23W (that is equivalent to 100W incandescent) or higher CFL bulb? That extra light will help a bit. Keeping blinds open would be good too. Is there enough light coming in thru the window? BTW, off-gassing may or may not work, it depends on what is used to chlorinate the water......See Morevery concerned...poor quality flooring
Comments (11)Heard the result today...and an Armstrong rep came and said 1) yes it is different, 2) yes it has the same name, 3) we are not going to do anything about it (even though we told you a year ago that the difference between yours and current supply was Just a bad batch - and sent a box from a “new” batch without the inconsistencies) and 4) you should do carpet. The local company is still willing to buy twice as much and look for good pieces, but they can’t guarantee we can find enough good pieces (awesome to offer this since they would be taking a big financial hit). So now what do I do? We would lose the scrape if we stripped current floor and restaurant bed along with new wood floor. If we switch flooring it would essentially change mid-room between the front room and new addition. We can’t afford new flooring in the whole home ( and current wood is only 4 years old). We are also paying a premium price For the less than ideal flooring if we settle for the uneven flooring (and any cut in price would go to the dealer since he is buying twice as much to get enough decent product) Any ideas on how to deal with this?...See MoreUser
