He did the math and figured that even if we paid someone to stain the deck every two years, we wouldn't come close to the price of the composite deck. The other issue for us is that the deck is in the sun all day until the evening. I can't imagine how hot a composite deck would get. I know that the wood will get hot too, but the composite would be unbelievably hot. I really like how the metal balusters dress it up a bit and leave it feeling more open.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358539472223402638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463362052224395153.post-39839847443361109282013-06-10T21:54:59.872-04:002013-06-10T21:54:59.872-04:00Good to hear about the frig, sorry to hear about y...Good to hear about the frig, sorry to hear about your floors :(<br /><br />I like your new deck, it looks awesome. I was thinking about doing the metal balusters too. I priced out a composite deck and.... after I came to from passing out with sticker shock, I realized I could blow up the deck with dynamite and build a new one from scratch every 15-20 years and it would still be cheaper than the composite. No thanks, they are not that nice.HeavenlyHighgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965169285647407296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463362052224395153.post-82987082755484783022013-06-10T21:32:19.281-04:002013-06-10T21:32:19.281-04:00Thanks, we can't wait to see it in our kitchen...Thanks, we can't wait to see it in our kitchen.HeavenlyHighgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965169285647407296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463362052224395153.post-26425452556681324342013-06-10T21:31:36.965-04:002013-06-10T21:31:36.965-04:00The GE we bought is made by Samsung.

This refrigerator is a work of art on the outside and will match all our other appliances.HeavenlyHighgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965169285647407296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463362052224395153.post-6033918299429305382013-06-10T21:29:51.724-04:002013-06-10T21:29:51.724-04:00No problem, hope it helps.

The difference between all the stores is that I could negotiate the price with HH Gregg. They got my business because they provided the better value and will probably get more of my business when we finish our media room.HeavenlyHighgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965169285647407296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463362052224395153.post-66174429864736905882013-06-10T13:10:27.613-04:002013-06-10T13:10:27.613-04:00Unfortunately, our one-year-old home sounds like a...Unfortunately, our one-year-old home sounds like a century home, particularly in the foyer, kitchen and family room. There have been some areas that they have fixed where the screws missed the joist, but more keep appearing. At this rate, we'll be re-screwing the subfloor when we replace the flooring. <br />Great find on the fridge. We had a GE Profile side-by-side in our last house and loved it. We never had any issues with it including the ice and water through the door.
