They use cheapo Fedex whose Troutdale hub is a black hole for anything shipped. I just went thru a mess with Bali and Graber both owned by Spring Window.

There is nothing worse than buying something for big money and then not being able to repair it. Was it worth it? You bet! BTW, before I buy any costly appliance, big or small, I now research online to see if the parts to fix it are readily available. Cost to buy a similarly appointed washer in today's market? About $800.00. however in all instances, but the most recent one, the cost to buy parts and do the repairs were less the the cost for the opinion of the repairman! Cost to replace drive shaft and bearing in the washer was about $250.00. Granted the money is applied to the bill IF THEY DO THE WORK. Calling a repairman will be a 75 to 100 dollar service fee for an opinion about what is wrong with the appliance.

There are a couple of really good appliance parts places online that will help you diagnose the problem and then show you how to do the work step by step in a video!!! To date I have been able to fix the broken handle on the dishwasher, replace the felting in the dryer's drum tracking, replace the drive belt underneath the washer, and more recently we worked together to replace the drive shaft and gears on the same washer. Appliance repairs big and small are done by me. They are practically identical other than a few quality/ luxury differences.Ĭomputers are built and upgraded by my husband. heck the ford explorer is a Mercury mountaineer and the Honda Civic is an Acura TL. For instance Stanley tools makes DeWalt, black n decker and Bostitch. If the quality was different the manufacturer usually changes the name they sell it under at, which point they are known as a 'parent company'. It's quantity that defines the price difference not quality. If a company is buying 20,000 of your faucets every order they expect a better price than the company who is only buying 5,000 every order. same concept works and Is applied to the suppliers when they are buying from manufacturers. Just like in the stores when its states that if you buy one fitting it's $2.00 but if you buy 100 it's $1.25. Webb) carries and buys from that same manufacturer. A national store (home Depot) pays and charges a heck of a lot less to moen or Kohler for the same product that a regional plumbing supplier ( F.W. I've skimmed through the comments and I'm pretty sure nobody has mentioned the fact that big box stores buy their products from the manufacturer by the 1000s which in turn cost them less and allows them to charge less. You can cable them but then you'll need cat5/6 cable and power. Sonos speakers are wi-fi they just need power.

One "smarthome" device I do recommend: Honeywell T6 Pro Wi-Fi Programmable Biller: "2) strategic audio runs to key locations inside and outside to support reasonable quality Sonos-based audio with some in-ceiling speakers," I decided I didn't need to be able to say, "Alexa, turn on the lights" when the occupancy sensors were sophisticated enough to turn on the hallway and kitchen lights only when needed ( Lutron Maestro trainable occupancy sensors).

I'm remodeling my condo and considered incorporating such technology but after fooling around with a SmartThings hub, an Amazon Echo, and a few connected devices I put it all away and installed some occupancy sensors and dimmers to control the lighting.

Most of this stuff is cheap, technologies change, and new products are always being developed. With all the wireless (wi-fi, bluetooth, proprietary) equipment available to control all the items you've listed, maybe it would be best to not build anything into the house and let your husband go wild with all the Alexa, Smartthings and other "smarthome" products. Does home automation really make your life easier or is the vendor just trying to sell us more complicated programming? If you use it, which of these programs do you like and why? If you have any experience with this (positive and/or negative), I would greatly appreciate your input.

Home automation software would most likely control lights, window-shades, HVAC, cameras, garage doors, intercom, phone, etc. (Can you tell that my husband told me what to say?)

In rooms with TV or stereo, there are home-runs of fiber & co-axial cable & speaker cable. For wiring, there are home-runs of ethernet cable throughout the house. We have 2 teenagers who spend all day on their devices, especially now that we are stuck at home & school is on-line too.

My husband is a techie, while I am a low-tech book-reader. My husband & I are in the middle of building our family home.
