my atrium window saga continues... never buy atrium! photos...
Comments (21)We purchased 18 Model # 5700 Atrium windows from McCoy's for our new house we are building. Out of the 18 windows, 13 of them have issues. They won't stay in place when raised. When the store sent their technician out to check them a spring popped out of one and broke the top corner of the frame. The Technician told my husband that we should have bought a better quality of window. These windows might be poor quality but they weren't cheap. The window was replaced yesterday but when the installer went to open it, the spring came out. The store salesman and manufacture rep is supposed to come out tomorrow to check all the windows. We were told the store ordered new springs for the windows but that was two weeks ago and they are still not fixed. I don't recommend these windows....See Morenot that crazy about crassulas:the continuing saga
Comments (3)Dave - hoping for real Spring finally...we still had nighttime frost warning for about a week even if daytimes were OK. It is warming up quite a bit since Monday, hoping to be able to bring all plants outdoors this weekend. I wonder if it grows as mother plant or not? Some say that they usually don't from leaves, pls. let us know....See MoreThe Saga of the Master Bedroom Continues
Comments (51)Hi Ingrid- I am so sorry to hear about your husband's illness. I hope he does as well as he can under the circumstances and that you and he enjoy many healthy, active and full years together! Both of those rugs are knockout gorgeous! and the ivory bedspread, gold headboard and pillow and green pillows are just perfect. Does the floor under the oriental rug in your bedroom have wall to wall carpeting? You know, many people don't even bother with a bedspread and just pull up the big fluffy comforter that has a washable comforter cover over the bed and pillows and race out the door in the morning! n.b. It is always important to fasten down the corners and edges of rugs to avoid trips and falls, a fortiori when an occupant may develop problems with balance and coordination. 3M makes the 3M Anchor Rug System that they sell at Lowes and Home Depot which is a modified Velcro system. I don't think you want the sticky stuff directly on the back of your carpet, so I would advise sewing a piece of linen on the corners of your rug and then affixing the system to the linen. This system works a bit better when the oriental rug is on top of a carpet, but again, I would advise sewing a piece of linen onto the edges of your oriental. https://www.amazon.com/Grippers-Carpet-Hallway-Runner-Gripper/dp/B01M7NEWHI/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_196_lp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8H5JE9JEWYC2QVZBAWVQ...See MoreOT......The Saga of The Straying Sock continues....
Comments (19)I had my own "Person from Porlock" moment in the middle of composing the above poem! The Man Who Changes the Smoke Alarm Battery interrupted me but luckily I had scribbled first thoughts on the back of an envelope, inspired by the nursery rhyme. I love these challenges. They keep my brain ticking over......See Morepudgeder
