to good to be true
Comments (6)This is so awful for you. Be persistent!!!! Back in my single days I had a similar problem. I had been in my apt for 4 years and all of the sudden all the apts around me filled up with non working partiers! It is so hard when you are listening to bass at 4am and you lay there knowing you have to get up in 2 hours to go to work. I made complaints every single time the music started. I called the police every night sometimes. Do what you have to do. It is YOUR right to have sleep. I just don't understand why anyone thinks they have the right to act like that. I mean, sure in a dorm, go ahead and party your head off, everyone is doing it so nobody is bothered. But, in an apt, these are homes. You need to party someplace else. Complain, complain, complain................you are the respectful tenant, push them out. Best of luck!...See MoreToo Good To Be True? Northern Virginia
Comments (13)Well, it may have been "too good to be true" after all. The dealer that quoted the great price also has among the worst ratings in Washington Consumer Checkbook, along with numerous BBB complaints, and complaints with Fairfax County Consumer Division. Yet, this dealer has a "presidential award" from CARRIER. When I inquired with CARRIER as to what a dealer needs to do to earn such an "award", the response was "This annual award is designed to encourage self-analysis andreward individuals who have excelled in customer relations". Excelled in customer relations? They have to be kidding! When I inquired further as to whether CARRIER would stand behind the work of the dealer, the short reply was "no". Obviously, this is not the response I was looking for. it seems that CARRIER may be more focused on pushing hvac equipment out the door and not on customer service....See MoreI knew it was too good to be true
Comments (21)LOL well it'd be nice if they'd make special cords for you for free but I'm pretty sure no place will! Most 220 outlets for dryers are put up off the floor 3-4 feet from what I've seen. Especially in basements it'd be dangerous to have it on the floor level. Even upstairs it'd be a bad idea with toddlers and animals. It's definitely frustrating about 220v appliances not coming with a cord (and this includes stoves) but with the different plugs people would have to change them anyway so might as well not include it and the buyer get the right one. Unfortunately it seems it's not common knowledge to the inexperienced shopper but the 3 times I've bought dryers they have asked me about a cord and told me to make sure I get the right one. (I learned that quickly!) On my previous dryer the cord was really stretched to reach the outlet but my current one it's fine. There's no way a manufacturer can anticipate the needs of everyone. I don't really understand the idea of changing the standard on the plug unless the 4 prong was common in Europe or something. Not sure. One time the delivery/installers gave me a cord for free because they didn't want to take the one off the old dryer, which I guess they're not supposed to do. In the end I'm glad they didn't. There's some rule somewhere about used cords being more "dangerous" and I do see the logic in that. The insulation hardens over time and if there's been issues the plug can be damaged and other potential problems so actually for $10 or so, it's safer to get a new cord and of course always use new hoses on a new washer and change them regularly. It's not worth spending $2k-$3K and then skimp on a few dollars for safety....See MoreLooking for photos of Provenza MaxCore LVP -True Story
Comments (13)Hi Toya Ralston, In June, we installed Mannington Adura Max LVP - Seaport Sandpiper in our kitchen, family room, office, hallway, laundry room and master bedroom. We live in a one story on a lake and wanted something waterproof and I also decided I wanted more greys, whites and light browns, and it looks beautiful with our beachy/Coastal Decor. It has lots of light, medium and some darker variations of planks and really lightened up all our rooms. I truely don't see a lot of footprints or smudges on it, but it's just my hubby and I with two black cats, with occasional visits from family & young grandkids living out of state. I run a small vaccum every few days (mostly to remove black cat hair) and I damp mop it about once a week. So far we love it and we've not had any issues with it at all....See MoreAJCN
