Clematis Sale in Philly area
Comments (8)Looks good to me Kris. I live slightly to the west of the central part of NC- not exactly central but not in the western part of the state either! :0) I was joking about not living too close but I have been known to plan routes through certain areas on trips to visit nurseries that are known to be nice and that sell clematis. This weekend I went nursery hopping in the area but most nurseries tend to sell type IIs and the frilly ones that appeal to women like Josephine, Asao, and the like. No type IIIs except Jackmanii and Jackmanii Superba!...See MorePhilly area get together - today!
Comments (35)Dedtired - that tomato stuff is actually the bruscetta mix I bought at Genuardis supermarket. I do not know what they put in it, but it really doesn't matter what time of year it is (or how ripe the tomatoes aren't LOL) it is always really good. Thanks for all the wonderful coments everyone! It was a great day :-) Alexa...See MoreGranite fabricator recommendations around greater Philly area?
Comments (12)I'm a Plumbing & Heating contractor, and I saw this thread while looking for alternatives to do granite in our new home. I've hooked up sinks to granite from Colonial Marble - Santoro - Imperial - Addesso - etc from our area. I got a price from Stonemasters (very nice people and very Professional) but I couldn't justify the $1,700.00 price difference between them and Colonial. Colonial offered us more for our money than Stonemasters, and I couldn't ignore that fact while going through the process. I live by the old adage "You get what you pay for"...and if Colonial was that bad, they would even be in the conversation for me. If the gap was much closer, I would of absolutely used Stonemasters to do our granite, but I will absolutely keep them in mind for my next project. I've seen people rip Colonial marble, and they even made a small mistake on my fathers home, but they do nice as work as well. I've even asked my customers what their thoughts were on Colonial marble...and it was overwhelmingly more positive than negative. One of the best Kitchen renovation companies, in the Norristown area that does high end kitchens on the main line, uses Colonial marble, and for me that speaks volumes, cause their reputation is on the line as well. Anyone that goes to the King of Prussia Mall, can go to the food court, and see the yards and yards of granite installed by Colonial. The bottom line is...for our area, ALL of the companies generally do nice work. I've seen most of their work, but the key for any company is standing behind their mistakes. I move in my new home in 2 weeks, then the granite will be installed, so I will be paying attention to the installation from Colonial Marble. If by some chance Colonial does me wrong and does a terrible installation, I will absolutely come back and do a follow up. However, I've seen way too much of their work to think other wise. One thing to keep in mind, and I requested this with Colonial...for template, I want a lazer template, not the old school way of doing things. It was a deal breaker for me, and I have it in my contract with Colonial. I know this thread is almost a year old, but I wanted to give my opinion for those coming behind me looking for reviews....See MoreLunch gathering for those in the Philly area
Comments (24)I'm not back until end of April :( I still really would like to host another get-together at my house for everyone. We talked about it last year but never settled on a date. The first one was so fun but was years ago now. Maybe this summer after we get the pool in, I'll invite you all for a pool party :)...See Moresprtphntc7a
