New England B.S. Thread

Hey random question but if anyone else is free the last week of October the 25th to 31st, I’m planning another road trip. Not to Texas this time, but I have a week off work. I’m actually thinking of going up through Michigan through the UP and then back down the western coast of the lake and then back to New England. TBD. Last time it was a lot of rest stops and take out but this time I’ll be lookin to set up camp some more and do some cooking over fires. Will probably still be cab camping it though.

anyway if anyone is interested, my destination isn’t set in stone either. I could be convinced to go elsewhere but only have the week, would have to be back to work November 2. Or if anyone wants to do stuff in New England I could be convinced of that too, but I’d like to be further than I can get in a day trip when I have the opportunity.

just a feeler. If anyone is interested and has an entire week to just give up and explore. Let me know.

 

I got lucky I guess. I ordered during the Rona and wasn’t set back long at all, fit was fine. I did a shoddy paint job but that’s my doing. Fit was fine.

 

I wouldn't worry about ordering sliders from them. although I do worry that their new design is going to trap snow during the winter time and cause them to rust quicker to be honest.

mine i just a giant rock catch when I wheel now.

 

better than using your rockers to catch giant rocks. Which reminds me I need to call the body shop and actually set up an appointment.

 

Are talking the hinges and such?

 

Not @ABNFDC , but I used to spray FF into the drain holes in my doors to cover the lower seams. When I did my speakers I hit all the places I missed.

 

I work for YRC but we probably won't be the cheapest. Check Fastenal and Greyhound bus company (they ship) and like others said, check sites like u ship it.

 

Yep. That's what I did. In the drain holes of the doors and since I was already in the front doors to replace speakers(AGAIN), I hit just about the entire lower third of them. Honestly what I sprayed into the drain holes covered enough.

 

Lol the SOS thread is gone. I guess I should have asked where to ship my stuff yesterday

 

Has there been a big breakdown there, they used to have a good rep.

 

I'm assuming. They came highly recommended. Which is why it's such a big disappointment.

 

Okay guys, I know you’re out there. Whose still got anything outside?

pulled my second and last one today. Got over 1 oz of really nice hash off the first one that just wasn’t coming well and I cut early.

hoping for 1-2lbs off this second plant.

indoor cycle going to start before the end of the week.

 

Wow I just searched using google and all their threads are tanked here. I found a few posts on another forum. Yeesh. I was impressed with their work from my eyes, at least with the sliders. Sad to see. Seems like there might be more going on behind the scenes there.

I uhh....I’m growing clover. Does that count?

I think with this weather the next few days, will be the end of me watering it. Let mother nature do it’s thing and hope for the best. I’ll do the front half of the front yard inn the spring. Didn’t make sense to do it now before a plow loads it down with snow banks loaded with salt.

 

Cut most of the cherry tomatoes and moved them inside to ripen in bags...I still have swiss chard, peppery arugula, and some bell peppers...Looks good for no frost still for a week at least.

our tomatoes have been neglected since the baby, wife just stopped paying attention to them and I don’t eat them sooo.....


I wasn’t worried about the frost but I was worried I’d start seeing my buds rot so I brought everything in this morning before the rain this week.

 

this must have been a near perfect growing season for your setup. Very dry summer that let you control the humidity.

 

Their welds are very OK. The design is pretty solid. Not a fan of the new slider stand offs but I wouldn't ding them for that.

It's strictly a quality and customer service thing that just sucks right now.

I mean here was our order shipped together.

Taco
- ifs skid
- mid skid
- trans skid
- sliders

4R
-ifs skid
-mid skid
-trans skid
-sliders

The only thing that fit for both of us is the sliders.
I still need to drill some holes in some flat stock and weld some nuts to it to swap out the hardware they gave as the washers they supplied are already pulling through the bigger slots in the frame.

I dunno. Not trying to slam the guys. But 5 weeks of dealing with them, 2 of 5 emails responded to, zero answering of the phone by the owner, and the only guy who was talking to me left the company and that's when things went radio silent from them.

They had all the stuff they needed and they know they have issues. The plates are junk anyways. I'd like a refund but I know I'm not getting one. Just got hosed on about $800 worth of armor, $100 in paint and a hole weekend worth of time dicking around with them with the result of nothing.

 

yes overall very good. It was my first year in a greenhouse and I have a few things I will do to improve it for next year. I have another louvre vent I didn’t install that I should have, there was one corner where air didn’t move well and that’s where I saw my only two tiny spots of mold. With a second one and a little better fan set up I am confident for next year.
I also plan to dig it down 4-5 feet for extra height and better cooling on hot days. Below the frost line will keep the lower temps even all year and keep pushing the hot air out I’m hoping.

I know @tacobell007 had a lot of good experiences with them too bad to see this.

I would be infuriated by now, I think you’ve held it together pretty good
