Not even vinca under oak tree? Please help!
Comments (1)Sure those aren't tree roots you're hitting? I have a raised bed around a large live oak, and it has infiltrated the bed, seeking moisture, with a web of feeder roots. From these, dozens of little saplings spring each year. I've now planted Asian jasmine in the bed, with a view to being able to control the saplings with Roundup (it doesn't seem to bother jasmine much.) I suppose you could do the same thing with English ivy. If you're finding vinca roots in bare areas, perhaps you need to try a different cover. I tried vinca minor once, in a shady side yard, and just couldn't get the dense cover you see in nursery photos. Seems like it wanted more water than I wanted to use, also. As for soaker hoses, the ones I get at Dollar Store seem to last best....See MoreNeed some info on Formica Basalt Slate please
Comments (15)We've had it for 3 years and get soo many compliments on it. (We're renovating now and gutting our kitchen, replacing with granite). It's a soft black with swirls of grey. When you see it in certain lights you can see a bumpy texture which sometimes makes it look more "fake". But overall it has a very sophisticated look to it. There were some chips around our sink during the sink installation but they haven't gotten any bigger or anything. You have to accept the fact that with laminate, any scratches will show. Overall, I would highly recommend it for those looking for an affordable countertop....See Moreskydawggy: Need Some Simonton Info PLEASE
Comments (13)DOUBLE Arrggghhh! So much for the savvy business sense I thought I had! No, I dropped the ball and did not check this guy out before committing. I've done so now and he has an unsatisfactory rating with them. Since I can't get him to accept or return my phone calls, I've faxed him another letter and told him the ball is now in his court. He has to come up with proof. I called Simonton. They can't get involved and told me to call the distributor. I did, Shelter Dist, they won't get involved either but did say that my (no grids) kitchen window is in. I asked if they would ship it directly to me...no. They also confirmed that the Reflection 5500 double hung window only comes with ONE size frame. I've just faxed a complaint to the Texas Residential Construction Commission (texasrcc.com) hope it's the right office. Also sent them the copy of my BBB complaint and the letter I faxed to the window contractor. Oy! If it wasn't for that kitchen window, I'd not waste one minute of my time with this scam artist!

Comments (6)"... a fresh sign-on should get you back in with the old username." That is the problem, Elmer. Signing in with the old username will not load Windows 10; it just goes to a green screen and nothing that is suggested to do in that green screen will correct the problem of the corrupted old login. I wish it would. As far as what will not load, it is all of the e-mails, personal folders, tasks, contacts, calendar appointments, just any information I had in Microsoft Outlook. I did a search and was able to find the info, but under my old login name; I changed it to the current login name thinking that might load the material, but it didn't. I was able to find all of my material for my password app and was able to restore that, so I am very glad about that. Also, in all of the browsers I use, I no longer have any favorites load and that is also something I truly need to have restored to me. Anway, thanks for your thoughts. And Mikie, thank you for your information above. I was able to get into the insider forums using your link and posted the problem there. As you said, hope one of the moderators sees it and replies. Thank you so much....See Morefrankielynnsie
