Bitterwort, I work for a greenhouse dealer that sells BC Greenhouse models, and I can assure you that this is a top of the line greenhouse. In my years in the business, we have carried a multitude of different greenhouse brands and BC Greenhouses is without a doubt, a top-level company in terms of both quality and customer service. We have customers calling after 15 years saying that everything is as good as new except for the occasional broken pane of glass from nearby lawnmowers. We put one up for display last week and it took two of us about 6 hours, although one of our builders can go set up an 8x8 and be done within 4 hours. The design of the frame is perfect and well thought out so everything goes together snug enough so no outside air gets in, but not so snug that it's difficult trying to get the parts to go together. The Sun Garden model is a customer favorite, although I don't like it much simply because it's an extremely difficult greenhouse to crate with the curved side wall/roof bars. It does seem more sturdy than the straight eave counterparts though. I'd rather not say which company it is that I work for because I know this site isn't for advertising, but you should know that these greenhouses are the best you can get and I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask away and I'll do my best to answer them.

lb-stanleyjohn bought an LA series JD recently and has started many of these threads to help ease his mind about the longevity of his purchase. Some of the threads are: Do you think that buying a low cost tractor means its junk? How long before your CHEAP lawn tractor fell apart. JD LA100 jerks alittle moving foward The LA100 Transmission Newer Lawn Tractors vs Old Lawn Tractors My JD LA100 died today! real bummer What he really wants is a little moral support from his peers to tell him he didn't make a bad decision purchasing a box store JD.

We are just getting prices from contractors in NYC for our 35 sq ft (actually a little less since it's not quite 7 x 5) and prices are $7,500 - $20,000 from 4 different places. The bathroom is over 50 years old and we have just been living with it for a while. It's all contractor work, no DIY. We cannot move plumbing so the layout won't change. I'm not really sure what the $7,500 price includes since the contractor would really not elaborate beyond "a basic bathroom" that includes wall to wall new tile (what we have now). One vendor who did not do a site visit (only looked at photos) came in around $15K. I am waiting on formal proposals from 2 contractors that visited this week and I gave them the wish list below that does not include any fixtures choices or finish choices but they are steering us toward custom and semi custom. One vendor said not to spend too much since we could price out the market for resale (we are not selling anytime soon, if at all) so he came down to $20K from $25K. There is one more contractor on the list that we plan to call for an estimate. A neighbor spent $40K on her bathroom. I have not seen it but just heard the price this week so I will make it a point to visit to have a look. replace bathtub/drain & replace fixtures, adjustable rain shower with separate handheld replace medicine cabinet make laundry hamper area into storage (framed with shelving) demo wall to wall tile, replace tile add recessed storage on rear shower wall install new lighting paint entire room (replace bathroom and bedroom doors - only two doors in the apartment so they should match) replace metal towel bar in shower replace storage cabinets (towels & other products) install vessel sink and fixtures add handheld sprayer for toilet (may get washlet seat if elongated toilet will fit) cover and tile over pipes; add mesh venting remove shower door (install curved shower rod) replace ceramic towel bar (8 hooks?) & switch plate add vertical toilet paper holder upgrade & add electric outlets (2 x 2); not on same circuit as lights Labor only estimates so far: $12,650 $13,200 Materials $3,355 (low) - $7,355 (high) One GC sources and stores the materials which seem to be at least 25% -50% higher for some items than I've seen locally.

I just found this one on overstock.com. I really like it but am SO scare to buy chairs over the internet (I need 4 of them). What if it arrives and it is too mushy or the chair is not heavy and solid? It would cost me a fortune to send it back. I have not found what I want in a regular store so I might have to turn to the web! Help!!
