I saw one at Lowe's for roughly the same sale price recently on clearance. Are these being discontinued? They are still on the Samsung website. I have had a Samsung Quatro for about 6 months, and practically kiss the doors every day. I do not have any other freezer. I love it because of the flexible temperature settings on the two bottom drawers and the ease of using the bottom drawers. I wanted a bottom drawer freezer, but the single bottom drawer designs were difficult to see everything and accessibility was terrible. I removed all the automatic ice making stuff from the inside; I don't want to use the water and ice in the door. The refrigerator has adequate space for our needs, keeps things at the right temperature. There is good accessibility, enough storage in the door for milk, several juice cartons.

Does sound like it would have been a good deal. Mine is probably at least 30 years old but still works fine.

In South Africa I can get the following Osmocote Pro formulations: 17:11:10 +2MgO+TE (release 3-4months) 17:11:10 +2MgO+TE (release 5-6months) 16:11:10 +2MgO+TE (release 8-9months) 11:10:19 +2MgO+TE (release 8-9months) 16:11:10 +2MgO+TE (release 12-14months) The product is not available in small quantities and I need to get 60lbs. Which one would you go for? I will be using it for citrus, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. I was thinking to get the 17:11:10, to use with the vegetables to boost vegetative growth for 3 months and let the diminishing N levels then boost flowering/fruiting. At that point I can either work in a second batch for the trees or switch to a liquid program. Will appreciate some advice.

I see two different issues here. One is people looking at an expensive room on Houzz and thinking they can make their room look like that for pennies. That is unrealistic. If you go with the cheapest labor, you will usually get what you pay for. And if you go with tile from a big box store, it will likely not look like the Ann Sacks that you saw in the picture. The other issue is whether you can/should trust a professional to do their job correctly, or whether you are foolish not to do the research every time you spend big money on a job. Roarah, I don't know why you are blaming yourself for not having researched the tile specifications. You are not a professional tiler. Your GC hired a professional tiler, and he should have known about the potential problems and explained them to you before he laid a single tile. When we renovated our kitchen and two bathrooms seven years ago I knew nothing about tiling, or really any other aspect of renovation. I relied on our GC (who also did the tile work) to help me on the layout, and to tell me what could/couldn't be done. I paid quite a bit of money for the reno (I live in NYC suburbs, so labor costs are high anyway) and I maybe (naively) expected that he know his stuff and he would do a good job for me. Luckily he was a very good GC and a very good tiler. I was quite happy with our job, although of course you always come up with things you would do differently if you were doing them again. I understand that my luck could have gone the other way with a different contractor. I recently reno'd our downstairs level and needed 600 feet of LFT laid to replace existing carpet. When I had the job quoted, I was hoping to find someone cheaper than the original contractor, and I got two other quotes in addition to his from contractors who were highly recommended by friends and neighbors. Original contractor told me about the issues involved with LFT, and warned me that his quote would be high because of all the prep/leveling work involved. Contractor #2 wanted to lay the tile right over the existing carpet (!!??). Contractor #3 told me that he could do whatever layout I wanted with whatever sized grout line and it would come out just *fine* and he could do it very quickly. Ironically, all three quotes were in the same high ballpark price-wise. Anyone with common sense would reject Contractor #2's tile-over-carpet solution, but would it have been crazy to go with Contractor #3 if you didn't know the about the issues with LFT? Once I heard the difference in approach between the original contractor and Contractor #3, I read up on LFT issues because I wanted to see who was right, and ended up rehiring the tried and true contractor. But conceivably, I could have gotten several bids from highly recommended contractors and not have been told about these issues at all. But if you are a regular homeowner who has no interest in reading design forums or tile manuals, shouldn't you be able to hire a tiler without reading up on tile specifications? Assuming you are not looking for a ridiculous bargain basement price for the labor, or not overlooking other glaringly obvious warning signs, I think you should be able to trust that your professional tile layer knows how to lay tile, and if you get screwed, blaming yourself is misplaced blame, IMO.
