2nd year lessons learned
Comments (4)This is my first year with my SFG. The main thing that I've learned that I'll do different for next year is to put all of my 'leaf' crops in the same box and cover it with row cover as soon as the seed is planted. I'm getting destroyed by leaf miners and cabbage loopers despite ninja assaults with Neem and BT....See MoreWater level in Maytag Performance series
Comments (5)I have the Performance Series 3000 model - have had it for less than a week so I'm also on a learning curve. Because the tub tilts backwards and these models use so little water, I'm not surprised that there is no standing water in the front of the tub - that would be a lot of water! I see what you mean about things just getting wet, but I see in my Maytag that they are soaked - they are just not floating around in water as in the old TL. It just takes getting used to, I think. More detergent probably isn't the answer -then you'll get suds like crazy and cause an error code (has happened to me already on Sanitary). Currently, I use the Tide HE liquid and either fill it to line 1 or less. I can't tell if things are that much cleaner than in my old TL, but they seem clean enough for me. I also think you can put in more than 4 jeans as listed above. Yesterday, I washed two thick twin sized quilts on "heavy duty" and probably had room for more (although I have been cautious about overloading). I know that I could only dare to fit one of those quilts into my old TL at a time. The FL handled two just fine. Loading just may require common sense too. Keep in mind that when the items get wet, a lot more space opens up. What may seem like a lot of laundry dry isn't that much once the cycle starts. I said several times yesterday after seeing what I thought was a full load wash - "oh I could have put in more clothes!"...See MoreQuestion for GCs
Comments (2)It's probably the result of the big new house building boom. Building is slow around here. My husband is a semi-retired GC and we're doing a major renovation plus big new 2 car garage. The framers are doing the garage on weekends. The other subs fit us in around their other jobs. As the other poster stated, a sub's first loyalty is to the GC who gives them work year round and every year. You might simply have picked a bad year. Also, the time of year might be their busiest. A good sub probably has worked lined up for months and simply doesn't have time to do any new estimates. I realize a call back to say, sorry, I'm too busy would be nice but a lot don't. My husband started calling last fall for a June start date. When he called he said he wanted to get on their schedule. He also called again to apprise them that we really were going to start on a certain date. For small jobs you might want to mention that perhaps the work can fit into their schedule and you can be flexible (if you can)....See MoreWhat a disappointment!
Comments (23)There is a Five Guys here in town right next to where I usually get my hair cut, that people had been raving about. Twice while trying to kill time until the hair cut, I went into Five Guys, waited in line for about 5 minutes, and got so turned off by the slow line, the peanut shells littering the grease-slickened floor, and the sign atop the menu declaring "All of our burgers are cooked to well-done" that I ended up leaving without ordering anything. A third time I was determined to try the food, and was not at all impressed. The burger made up for the fact that it was overcooked by being very greasy, the bun was soggy and flavorless, the lettuce was wilted from being steamed while the burger was wrapped in foil. The fries were far, far too many, and way too salty, and were mushy and greasy, and they went from too hot to eat, to too cold and greasy, seemingly without ever passing through the "just right" temperature. I went to a local hot-dog restaurant that seemed to be aiming for "like Five Guys, but with hot dogs instead of burgers" and their fries were some of the best I'd ever had. Maybe that's how Five Guys was when it first started out, and its merely that the local franchisee is not doing such a great job, but I'll certainly not be back....See MoreRelated Professionals
