Comments (16)Sorry to hear about your experience. Have you contacted Marty (I think that is his name)? at plant-o-gram? I ordered some trees this winter and unfortunately they came just as a cold front was moving in. It would have been ok if it were shipped direct FL to OK but the carrier went to KS first and I doubt if their facility is heated. The only think that lived was a small branch of of a Longan which is doing OK now but it's only a foot tall and smaller than the diameter of a pencil. Anyway, I contacted Marty and I told him that he had a good reputation on the web and the dead plants were part my fault for ordering in the middle of winter and part his fault for sending them when he did. I suggested that he send me new plants and that I'd pay the shipping. He agreed to that. My lychee did not make it and since I'm a glutton for punishment, I order another one. This time when I got it, I sprayed it with distilled water and wrapped the canopy with a clear trash bag and closed it up next to the cellophane wrapped pot. I left it that way for about two weeks with just indoor lighting. I then slowly started letting some fresh air in over another 2 weeks with more light. And just a few days ago I took the bag off and put it against a north wall. I also loosened the cellophane wrapped pot but keep the newspaper that was on top of the soil. Here is a picture of the Sweetheart Lychee. So far so good. I will probably using this method for all my potted mail order trees. This method comes from tropicalfruithunters.com. I'd give Marty a call. I looked at Pine Island website and they don't actually have a guarantee about condition of plant on arrival either....See MoreFinal Round: French Door KitchenAid vs GE Profile!
Comments (8)We have the GE Profile FD and love it. It was our third new fridge in 6 weeks, as we went through two Bosch SxS models, neither of which would cool. The GE's been great...no issues at all, and because of the previous problems, I keep a fridge thermometer in it all the time...it holds its temp perfectly. We've had it for two months (admittedly, not long) and I'd give it 4.5 stars. DH insisted we had to have water in the door, so that ruled out lots of FD models. My only (small) complaint is the water well that catches drips in the door is quite small, and it sometimes overruns onto the floor when it's full and we swing the door open. But that's a small problem and infrequent. Would definitely buy it again......See MoreProblems with Silestone-don't buy!!
Comments (12)While I can get sinks, sheets, and strips for Corian repairs, the local distributor will not sell me sheets for fabrication and resale, despite the fact that I'm certified. This has everything to do with controlling competition, and nothing to do with quality. In 2014 a local Certified Corian fabricator mucked up a Corian facade on a storefront at the local new mall. I spent several nights picking up after him, as once the mall opened, no one is allowed to work during the day. More than a decade ago when I had my shop, because they weren't certified a local cabinet shop tried to get the Corian specification changed on a job at the University of Toledo, but the architect wouldn't budge. Instead of allowing me or the other local Certified fabricator to sub the work, DuPont sent a rep to the cabinet shop and "Certified" them in an afternoon, no school for them. If you think DuPont's going to lose a sale over certification, you're dreaming. These guys would sell their own mother on the street corner. They are slightly more strict regarding residential. I did a consultation for a lady that had a poor Silestone installation. My pleas to Silestone to protect the brand went nowhere, as every unsatisfied customer hurts our industry no matter the brand. We pressured the GC into replacement; he may have gotten a replacement sheet for free....See MoreUnhappy customer
Comments (19)As part of your (excellent) documentation - I would add the "DATE" to your highlighted updates. The issues you are calling out are not minor / cosmetic things that could / should wait until the 1 year walkthrough. I have been told that's more for things like nail pops, other cosmetic / adjustment type things. This is VERY poor craftsmanship. They better listen up - because this will not go well for them in court. And - they appear to be patting you on the head and telling you that you are too picky. You don't have to be an expert to understand that doors not closing are structural issues, or that screens not fitting sort of negate the reason to have a screen, or that water coming under a basement door isn't a big deal. Good luck to you. And keep up the professionalism / honesty / truth - you are doing good job of showing / documenting and protecting yourself against any claims of slander....See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
