Apparently years ago Feather River was a quality company that grew too fast, went bankrupt, sold its assets and had a trademark name dispute with Fine Doors. As recently as 2005 there are reports of folks not getting doors, etc., while legal battles dragged on.
While I can't imagine Home Depot (who now carries them) offering a brand that is a problem, I am not sure of the quality and reputation of whatever company now has the name, and makes the product. Does anyone know more about this, and whether they are a quality door?
Follow-Up Postings:
well, I can offer you this. I just received a FR Double French Door, with mini blinds between the glass, special ordered at Home Depot and delivered to my house by Home Depot. After the door was hung, by our contractor, it was noticed that there are scratches on the metal of the blinds between the glass on both sides of both doors. I went to HD and told them, they said it was a FR issue and gave me their Warrenty Tech Line phone number. I called FR and they asked to be sent pictures. I took pictures the best I could (glass is hard to photograph) and sent them the pictures of the scratches. When I spoke to them again today I was told by them it was not covered by their warrenty. They said that it is the responsibility of HD to find that kind of issue when they receive it. I am about to head over to HD and see what they have to say. The door was a little less expensive than Pella or Anderson but now I've lost the difference in my time spent. In short, FR built a product that has damage that occurred during manufacturing and won't own up to it. My suggestion, look elsewhere. Quality goes beyond the materials, it's how the company backs up their products. I'll repost when the saga is over. |
I received this message from a reader via my personal email, and thought it worth posting here: [This message originated at GardenWeb] I had trouble submitting my posting so I thought I would email you directly. Heed my warning and do NOT purchase Feather River Doors. I read the other posting and my story is much the same. To make a very very long story brief: I special ordered double interior french doors back in November and after I rejected the first 2 shipments (wrong size door and defective glass) my doors finally arrived late March. However, the obscured glass that I ordered is already beginning to speck and smear. Home Depot tells me it's a Feather River issue, Feather River says its a Home Depot issue--although both companies agree the doors are not right. I am currently trying to find the name and address of the CEO of Feather River to voice my complaint and get some help resolving the issue. The doors cost over $1,000 and I cannot believe FR will not stand by their product or warranty. |

We fell in love with a set of Feather River interior french doors at home depot. Were willing to blow our $500-600 budget on this item because they were so unique (have a cubed, obscured glass pattern and perfect for our new study/office). The person who helped us said Feather River is a major seller at the HD in our area. After hearing szimet and darlene, we may stick to a hines lumber FD with complete obscure glass. I still cannot beleive Home Depot would respond as they did? Feather River products are not cheap, either!! I look forward to hearing follow-up from szimet and darlene. Does anyone have any brand recommendations for interior french doors? |
I love those interior doors, too. The cubed pattern of the glass is wonderful. I'm guessing they're less trouble-prone than exterior doors with thermapane glass or embedded blinds or integrated sidelites. It would be pretty easy to check them for damage before they got installed. |

Yep, those are the ones!!! We were at our local HD today looking at solid, interior doors and I brought up the FR issue with the millwork guy. He acknowledged that there have been problems, so the system at present is that all FR doors are delivered to HD to be checked before the buyer comes in for pick-up. He said that all door companies are having issues with quality control because demand is so high, including a company like ThermaTru. I've seen postings on this site about probs. with ThermaTru...so whose to say.. We had 2 sets of Pella Pro-Line exterior French doors installed almost two years ago (bought from Menards), and Pella was very responsive to any issues. They did send someone out to check the scratches on one door, but replaced it w/o any hassle. They returned again to deal with other issues, that in the end I think were due to poor installation. However, I've heard from people that they've not had such responsiveness from Pella these days... |
Follow-up So, before I ventured to HomeDepot to complain I sent one last email to FeatherRiver. --------------- Isn't it nice that people are talking about your products. http://link_to_this_posing In less than an hour I got a phone call that they were going to cover the issue as a warrenty repair and proceeded to take the rest of my information. I was informed that both panels would be replaced, once the glass arrived at HomeDepot an installer would call and arrange to install. The following is the email I just sent out today. My adventure Part II. -------------- Some time back the replacement glass arrived and the installer came with them. As I was showing him the scratches he remarked that he was never made aware of what the issue was and did not look for that when he picked up the glass at Home Depot. Needless to say he opened the 2 packages and BOTH were also damaged in the same way. We examined the windows and he said how surprised he was that nobody was catching this. We examined the scratches and of course 1 was completely worse than both of the originals and 1 was marginally better than what existed. Since the tech and his helper made the trip I figured why not replace the 1 window .... bad idea. In changing the glass there was a problem getting the blind to sit correctly (1 side was up higher than the other). I was outside working in the yard and close to an Hour later he called me in to show me the state of the window. In trying to resolve the Blind issue, one of the slats was slightly bent and when the blind is all the way down and open (horizontal) there is a noticeable disparity on the one side. Since I believed this entire situation was not resolved and would be continued I had him leave it and not spend another half hour or more putting the other glass back in. The tech took pictures, made notes and said that the information regarding this situation would be put into his report in the computer system. I'm guessing nobody reads these since I have not been contacted How does Feather River plan on addressing the situation in your manufacturing and in my door ? TBC |

We went with Therma-Tru, recommended by our contractor. I did some research and it does seem that they are high quality. |

I'm wondering if doorguysean works for them too! We purchased one of those great looking Feather River mahogany doors in cherry at our local Home Depot. It became a nightmare. The previous day we installed a Lowe's fiberglass 6-panel door in our kitchen to the garage and it went in perfectly. So, on Super Bowl Sunday, my husband with a helper thought he could install the Feather River. Not so. Everything was done according to instructions and then they couldn't get the door open and when they did, the hinges were misaligned with the top one badly bent. The top hinge was not even in the cutout of the door. My husband was furious. He returned and they looked through every door at the store and found they all had misaligned hinges. They brought back the one that had the least problems, installed it and the hinges worked fine but the door was so close to the door bottom that you had to use two hands to open and close it. The adjustable door bottom was as far down as it would go. We called the store again and they said they would order another door or find one for us. We went to pick it up and the fiberglass was damaged so they said they'd fit a door to a good jamb and be sure it would work. We picked it up and installed it and the same problem with the door bottom. Everything was perfectly level and square. Our helper feels the jambs might be part of the problem but also the hinges not being aligned correctly to have enough space on the bottom. You could see the door bottom dragged. It would have eventually torn. The doors in stock do not have wood jambs but are a plastic. We returned the last door...all this occurred in 6 days. We are now back at square one looking for an entry door. I was really disappointed as the cherry mahogany door matched our wood floor and the outside brick perfectly and would have looked great. If only it could have been installed. The person in Customer Service told my husband another door had been returned just like it the other day, not by us, but by one of their best installers. We were not only disappointed but disgusted and feel the factory's quality control is severely lacking. Needless to say, we were afraid to special order one with a wood jamb for fear we would have just as many problems. |
I bought a wood 10-light interior door. I think the cost was roughly $300. 15-light interior doors go for $99 at Lowe's. I really wanted the 10-light for design reasons. It was a little more contemporary which fit our aesthetic. I ordered the Feather River Door at HD. With all the other incoming construction materials for our large project piling up, I didn't think I needed to inspect the door. Plus, the packaging was pristine and there clearly hadn't been any freight damage. Wish I hadn't assumed it was okay! It was already installed before I noticed the chipping and dinging on the wood mullions. It was clearly a milling issue. This door should never have been passed by QA. Oh well. I knew there was next to nothing I could do at that point. When I painted I did my best to putty and sand over the messed up areas. Another problem was that the plastic they used to cover the glass (this was a pre primed door so they obviously cover the glass before priming) was fastened to the glass so incredibly tight that I virtually had to scrape the darn stuff off centimeter by centimeter with a razor blade. When I needed another interior door guess what I did? Went to Lowe's and got the $99 version. The wood was cut perfectly and the plastic over the glass peeled off without any trouble. I think the Feather River styles are quite nice but personally, I wouldn't buy one again. Especially not an exterior door which has to perform in tougher conditions than my interior door! |

After our fiasco I described above with the Feather River entry door, we installed a Benchmark wood grain entry door with beveled glass from Lowe's. Started about 2 pm and it's in and opens and closes like a charm. I think Lowe's needs to carry more of these doors in the various stains as there isn't much choice unless you want to special order, which I was afraid to do after all the trouble with the Home Depot door. I will send a link to this page as soon as I have a chance to write up a complaint to Home Depot and Feather River. There is obviously something wrong with their Quality Control. |
I just wanted to say thank you for the discussion on this thread! My contractor pointed me to this thread when we asked him about quality of FR doors. We're looking at Masonite and ThermaTru entry doors and ran into Feather River at Home Depot. Their prehung cherry mahogany door that was available off-the-shelf was about $500 but when customized for our needs, it worked out to about $1500. Which is more than the ThermaTru door. The FR oak door was about $400 off-the-shelf but when customized was about $800. |
Just about the same experiences as transplantedtexan! Our door is the 3/4 oval in cherry mahogany and we bought it (the original one) from HD on 24 January. When delivered, it had what looked like slight shipping/handeling damage on the edge of one of the lower panels. On closer inspection and after looking at a bunch more doors, I have concluded it is a molding defect as it is in the same area on many (most) of these doors. (The door is a wood/mdf core door which appears to be skinned in fiberglass.) After checking about 3 more doors, the store had one without the "damage" to the lower panel so I took it home and the crew installed it. When I opened the door (you don't normally open a pre-hung door before it is installed) I saw that the hinges were not aligned in the mortise on the door...about 1/8 inch out on one side. Out comes the door and back to HD. They finally get restocked and we find another door without the ding to the lower panel. I'm tempted to make them open it before I take it so I can check the hinges. I figure the hinge not being in the mortise is so basic that it was just a rare fluke........wrong!!! When I get it home, I check the hinges and sure enough one is out of the mortise. I figure I can just expand the mortise on that end of the hinge and it will lay down and fit right. But, before I start cutting on a door that might have to go back, I think I should call Feather River and make sure they don't have a problem with my plan. Feather River said if I had a problem with the door I should take it back to HD and get another one; when I explained how many doors I had been through already, they were not impressed and reiterated that if I cut it, I have no warranty. The HD guy told me to give it a try, and if it didn't work, he would back me up. MAJOR POINT: Feather River was TOTALLY unreceptive to any customer feedback about the quality problems with their doors; and the person I was talking to wasn't the general receptionist, he was their Tech Support/Quality Control rep. Anyway, after modifying the mortise, the hinge would fit in, but I found out the hinge was sprung from being forced in the first time. HD got Feather River to send me a new hinge, and I got the door installed this afternoon. Guess what? It really drags the threshold. (I went online to find out how to adjust the threshold, and found this thread.) I will finish tomorrow and make the threshold thinner if I have to. I would like to point out that the HOME DEPOT guy has been great through the whole ordeal. If you think you want to take a chance on one of these doors....the price is wonderful, and a fiberglass door is SOOO superior to a wood door.....I would recommend that you don't be bashful in the store when you buy it. Make them take it out of the wrapper and inspect it all over; make them stand it up and open it up to check the hinges and check the "drag" on the threshold. When you get one that is right, box it back up and take it away. Good luck. |
For what it's worth, I on a window and door company in FL. We sell many fiberglass doors from Therma-Tru, Plastpro, and Masonite. I found this thread researching a glass pattern mentioned by a client. The stories above inspired me to add comment. We occassionally have damage due to shipping but rarely factory-defective product like posted previously. Every issue has been promptly and professionally resolved by us or with assistance from the manufacturers. May I suggest to all to use a manufacturer's website to locate authorized dealers - any other than the big box stores - for a far better experience. You may have to drive a few more miles and possiby wait a week or three for the doors to arrive, (never more than six weeks and usually less than two). You are likely to find personalized service, abundant knowledge - which is extremely lacking at the big box, and competitive prices. Yes, we compete with HD & Lowes every day. Remember, "you get what you pay for". Best of luck with your door projects! |
It appears from Feather River's website that the doors are only sold through Home Depot. Well, wish me luck. The only glass designs I liked were on Feather River doors, so that's what I'm getting. Hopefully the problems have been resolved or were limited to the mahogany/cherry in-store doors (not what I'm getting). I tried really hard to find a Provia or Jeld-Wen door that I liked, but the glass designs just didn't do it for me. |

the difference between the showroom sample and what was delivered approaches bait & switch. our doors were inferior in many ways. wish we had seen these reviews BEFORE we bought Feather River. |
What style did you get and what was it that disappointed you? |
Do not trust this DOOR GUY fella. He posted the exact same thing on 3cents webpage where people complained about the Feather River fiberglass doors. He probably works for the company and is trying to make everyone feel like the company is making good doors. I mean who would call a customer service person a SWEETHEART? In my opinion they are overpriced and yet they have so many customer complaints. I was trying to buy FG with mahogany stain with 2 side lites and ONE side lite cost more than the door itself even when the door was special ordered. If you pay over 3k for entry door with 2 side lites then you want the company to make near perfect door. |

I bought FR doors thru Home Depot. After less than 3 years the finish is losing it. I called both HD and FR and have gotten nowhere. I am very pissed off with these doors and I will no longer do business with HD or FR. They both suck! |
I purchased a Feather River exterior door mainly because Home Depot stated that door wouldn't peel or fade due to the weather. The door was fine for the first few years but now the door has started to peel and fade at the bottom part of the door. I just contacted Feather River and the customer support person stated that Home Depot misrepresented the warranty of the door because the exterior door does need the original poly stripped and reapplied every several years. I told them that they need to contact Home Depot and have them stop misrepresenting their door and she 'state they have'. She stated that I need to strip the door and reapply a new layer of poly. She also stated that their website and the warranty directions also state the poly needs to be stripped and reapplied. I'm still not happy since I was originally mislead by Home Depot. |
But the fading problem isn't unique to Feather River doors. When researching doors this winter, I learned that fading/finish deterioration is a problem for all fiberglass doors. And that the main drawback to fiberglass doors is that, despite restaining & repolying, you can never get them to look as good as when they were new. Driving around here, I see several doors that have a washed out, faded wood look. I suspect they're fiberglass. Here in CT, they just look like antique doors, fortunately. But that look may not be appropriate in areas where antique colonial homes aren't as prevalent. I looked into other brands, and there are complaints about them as well (not Provia doors, AFAIK). I'm not really convinced that Feather River has more problem doors than Therma-Tru or Masonite or Pella. |

DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE DOORS!!!!! I found this thread on the web and had to sign up just to inform anybody looking to buy one of these. My father-In-Law purchased a fiberglass entry door with the sidelights ($2,000) a few years ago and already the frame is splitting and rotting out! These people DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT and are very rude!!! We are ripping this door out over the weekend and sending it to the dump where it belongs. Good luck. |
I have been reading the complaints of Feather River doors and have the following story. I am an ex supervisor with the company, quit and am not writing in any way out of despite. With that said, let me tell you a story. Feather River has always been interested in one thing only, MONEY. Once they get the order, you are a second class citizen in their eyes. I saw orders sit over four months with no action. When asked by myself when the orders were to be processed, their reply was always the same, when they quit whining. Quality issues were a daily thing at the plant, and ignored daily as well. The Jambs were Finger jointer pine junk which fell apart in our hands at times and were reglurd and sent out. Rot in the wood was rare but happened. Wrong glass, hardware and accessories were ignored, saying they will send it back if it mattered. Doors had foam voids in them, warping issues and coloration issues. Magic markers were user to touch up scratches and defects, which washed off with water, on an exterior door subjected to water. Jambs were nailed to doors , noticed and never fixed. Once again, if it mattered the consumer will send it back to be fixed. Warped jambs were used rather than tossed out. Treatment of their temp based employees were terrible for the most part, money, money money drove the company over fair treatment. They seldom stood behind their product and daily returns of 30-40 door units daily were not unheard of. Delamination was another known problem not adressed. Fading, chipped glass, wrong swings and sizes, just another day at the office. BUYER BEWARE OF THE DOORS YOU NOW OWN OR ARE THINKING OF BUYING. I feel fortunate I quit years ago, life is good now knowing I am an honest person again. And Home Depot was known many times to threaten to quit carrying their products if they did not shape up. HOME DEPOT I'm ashamed of you for continuing to carry their products. I've been a LOWES shopper and will be till you shape up. Once again, I just want people to know their complaints were heard, they just choose to ignore you, business as usual. |
Hi I wish I would have read this sooner. I purchased a FR exterior front door, medium oak. I love the look. It's been installed less than a month and to me, at the bottom, it's starting to look faded. The inside of the door remains a nice rich color. The outside of the door appears several shades lighter. I called customer service and she had me send pictures (not easy to capture the faded area). There response, "After reviewing the photos we have determined it is the pattern of the grain and the horizontal direction that causes the wood to appear lighter. This is not a warranty issue and replacing the slab (door only) is not going to change the appearance. As far as the caulking I can only advise how to remove it, I am unable to send a Rep out to take care of it for you. You can use a straight edge to clean it off the glass and then use an ice cube on the rest which will help harden it and make it easier to peel off." Maybe so, but it looks faded to me. It's on the west side of the house and gets a lot of mid day sun. |
We have just installed FR interior doors for our closets. Had seen them used and went with the obscure glass with the grids. They absolutely look amazing BUT getting the grids to snap into the door and getting the clasps driven into the wood is very difficult- has been driving my husband crazy! The claps do not keep the grids in place or snug against the glass. He has been at it for 5 hours and still not happy. Wish I would have read this BEFORE. The doors with grids are ridiculously expensive. Again, the look is wonderful but now concerned about the durability, etc. and if the grids will ever stay in place. |

This may wind up looking like a shill, but here goes anyway... I'd been looking at Feather River's interior doors for a couple years at Home Depot. I've been wanting to acoustically divide the Front of the house from the back, and really liked their triple pane glass doors. Even after reading these posts a couple months ago I went ahead and bought one of their Crown Jewel collection doors (grand total ~$1500). It arrived 2 weeks ahead of the quoted delivery date, which was nice, In hanging it the only problems were that the strike plate mortise needed to be adjusted so the door would close tight, and the screws mounting the hinges to the frame were too short to reach into the house framing, a definite necessity for a door this heavy. So the door is in, looks and works great. (Huge sigh of relief) I just wanted to let people know that at least some of Feather River's stuff is OK. |
Mine are 9 months old now. No problems with installation and no problems otherwise. Very happy with them so far. They are white on the exterior, so no fading to report. |
(Found this thread while looking for something else...) I have one of the Feather River "Theme Collection" interior doors for my pantry and love the door...no quality or installation issues whatsoever. My door is a little over a year old and I still love it! Maybe it was my installer, but it's the smoothest opening/closing door in the whole house! [Door was purchased from HD in spring 2008.] Long distance shot: |

Beautiful post above me, wish I had a kitchen like that. I searched and searched both lowes and Home Depot. It seems Feather River is only sold thru Home Depot.The ones lowes carried were more expensive but looked Cheap. So my husband and I purchased a door because of the look and appearance of the wood but later found out its not wood its fiberglass.... I have to say I am so impressed, I didnt think that I would be saying how silly I was thinking this door was wood. Needless to say Im happy, It was a little tight when opening and closing but I notice now after 2 months its easing up.I notice these negative comments on here are just single post, with no follow up or any other usage to the site. So I felt it was time to share my experience. |
Ok--I was considering Feather River but after these posts I'm back to square one--I'm looking for a fiberglass, custom door (my opening is higher than average) from a good, medium-priced manufacturer. I'm in the Washington, DC area. Any suggestions??? |
I noticed a sale at Home Depot, Im going to get the interior doors for the dining room. wish me luck.... with over a million doors sold im sure there wont be a problem with quality...I hope to post photos of my project when finish. |

I just bought two Feather River doors from Home Depot and they are installed. I don't have one complaint about the doors. They are really nice. Nicest doors i have ever owned as far as looks. Thumbs up from me! |

Our door was expertly installed by HD's people, who only install doors, and was fine until the glue around the center window frame began to bleed. We've removed it twice but as soon as the weather is hot, it happens once again. Covering scratches with the stain sticks they provide does not do a satisfactory job. My letters to them via email have been answered, but they are brief and in essence say: It's your problem; use the stain stick and cut the glue away with an exacto knife. How much glue is left to hold the window frame in place is my concern. My door is about 2-1/2 years old and on a covered porch. I would not recommend this door as it is beginning to fade, I can't cover the scratches, and today a piece of the sweep under the door came loose and had to be removed. Good price, poor quality |
I purchased a Feather River door in 2008, cost me over $2000,00 with the sidelites. Before warranty was up the door started to fade terribly. First the company said they would replace it then changed their minds because they said I hadn't treated the door properly. Well I treated it last year and this year it is peeling like crazy and spots that were treated are now fading also. Do not buy any doors from Feather River. They are a horrible company to deal with and give you no satisfaction. |
Our exterior Feather River door is about three years old. It looked very nice for the first year. Last year it started looking pretty rough and now the finish is peeling off, the glue keeps seeping from around the moulding and we aren't sure what to do to fix the finish. Our door faces West and so gets the afternoon sun. Would love to know if anyone has successfully refinished their fiberglass door. I will never buy another of these products again. |
Mine are 4 years old now, still look & work great. They are white, though, not a faux wood finish, and are protected from strong sun by a porch gable. Glad we didn't go with a faux wood finish. |

In a quality door with a proper finish the woodgrain finish is not an issue. But it all starts with a quality product and Feather River is not one of them. |
I disagree that the woodgrain finish isn't an issue. A quick internet search will show you that this is a common problem and is inevitable. A woodgrain fiberglass door by *any brand* WILL fade over the years. The darker color absorbs more sunlight & heat compared to my white finished door which reflects light & heat. That's why I chose a white door for my sunny, hot entry. And after four years, the finish is still good. |
I have to replace my front doors that are solid wood, I've been reading Feather River doors, and there have been so many negative things that I'm worried about choosing this brand. Do you know of any other brand of door that might be better or can stear me to some positive comments about the doors? Thanks |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 19:39
Therma Tru is a good door, Provia, HMI are about the best in a fiberglass or steel door. Jeldwen Masonite and anything sold by a box store (HD, Lowes etc) is crap. |
I purchased Feather River Exterior Doors through Home Depot in Bensalem, PA based on the recommendation of the sales person in May 2011. Since I was having a great deal of renovations done on my home at the time rather than pay Home Depot to install them I had my contractor do the installation. When he unwrapped the doors that were delivered he noticed that the brick molding on one side was broken. Then he noticed that the doors were scratched and the finish was not even. But at this point they had already removed the existing doors so we had no alternative but to install them. I contacted Home Depot and Feather River and sent in pictures. They offered to credit me 10% or replace the slaps. I unfortunately chose to have them replaced. The replacement was done by Home Depot, I thought, but now I am told that it was done by a company that handles the warranty inspections UTS. I noticed that my doors wouldn't stay locked and thinking nothing of it I adjusted the keeper on the lock and got it to stay locked. This was my second error. Because I kept looking and I could see the outside between my doors and they never seemed fully closed. After suffering through this horrible winter and feeling the air just flowing in from the outside I put a request into the Customer Service Department to have someone check the doors. A representative from UTS came out and told us that the installation was out by 1/4" on the side of the stationary door and there was a bump in the threshold of the operating door which is why my sweepers kept having to be replaced. And he also said the operating door was bowed by 1/8". Feather River now says that there is an installation problem so the warranty on the doors is voided. When I asked why the person that installed the new slabs, by the way he dropped the operating door during the installation, I was told he was there to install them not inspect them. I have now hired an independent contractor to inspect the doors and correct them if needed. I am also going to post this on every blog site I can to warn other unsuspecting consumers of this shoddy product. It looks good but is not good quality. |
Also have one of these doors that are about 4 years old and the finish is starting to bubble and peel. ..has anyone here had any luck removing the finish and refinishing? Just want to know if it's worth doing? As it seems the materials and time spent can be costly.. |

Sure that is not the door itself? Looks to me like the fiberglass coming apart. |

Hello there,
Found a used Snapper RER on craigslist for $375. The ad says : This is a Snapper Riding lawnmower with a 33" blade, 12 horsepower engine and the mulching kit. This mower works great. It starts easily and runs perfect. This snapper riding mower mulches really well. This mower is about 5 years old, and looks great (see pictures) Starts Easily
$375 link to craigslist ad with pics is: http://detroit.craigslist.org/grd/411031722.html I can't figure out what year this is and the owner says only 5-6 years old. BUT according to snapper's website this model has a 15 or 17HP engine?? Also the pics look different to me than regular RER....can't see the articulating bar that goes from front wheels to under seat?? Hope this makes sense. My husband is overseas and I'm having to make the decision myself as to whether this is a good deal. thanks!! Heather |
Follow-Up Postings:
The engine code should indicate the manufacturing date. If early in he year, the mower should be the same. If later, the mower is probably the following year's production. |

Thanks! I found out where to look up publications on the snapper website and from what I can tell just looking at the ads pictures the mower is a 1990 or 91 series 7 or something close to that. The guy who is selling it says the mower is only 5 years old???? Not sure how that can be when snapper hasn't made a 12hp 33 inch hi-vac for years! Any suggestions?? |

Protect Yourself From These Scams
From Scam Emails, Letters and Phone Calls
Remember scam emails? They would offer you a big commission if you let a total stranger in a foreign country deposit ten million dollars in your bank account for a few weeks! Or, they told you that you won the lottery and they'd like to deposit a big check into your account, and all you have to do is wire back the taxes!

Welcome to the Brynkinalt Estate, home to the ancestral Trevor family since 942. Located in the beautiful surrounding of the Welsh/Shropshire border, the home is steeped in history but focused on the future.
The Trevor Family are working hard to ensure that the Brynkinalt Estate retains a viable place in the nation's heritage. Through a programme of investment and restoration, the estate provides quality contemporary accommodation for both the business and residential community, creating a wonderful environment in which to live and work.
The estate has taken advantage of changes in traditional methods of commerce and communication technology to create a diverse and successful business community at the Brynkinalt Business Centre. The Centre blends high quality, modern business accommodation within the beautiful, historic setting of a traditional working estate, offering businesses a truly unique setting in which to work and grow.
The estate is keen to share both its heritage and landscape with visitors, always extending a warm welcome to guests. We hold open days and riding clubs at the hall, host conferences and activity days, and can even help you to plan the wedding of your dreams, which will take place in the stunning setting of the Estate.
From the ongoing maintenance of the Hall and restoration of its gardens, to the sustainable management of woodland for renewable energy, Brynkinalt is committed to ensuring the estate maintains its impressive design and special place in the nation's heritage, whilst also providing great benefit to future generations and the local community.
SAVE THE DATE - Next year we will be opening the gardens under the NGS (National Garden Scheme) on Thursday 21st May 2015 and Wednesday 1st July 2015. The NGS has approx 3,800 gardens that open across England and Wales and the scheme has raised over £22 million for nursing, caring and gardening charities, including Marie Curie Cancer Care, Macmillian Cancer Support, Help the Hospices and Parkinsons UK, over the last 10 years. We hope that our many rhododendrons, camelias and other spring shrubs in the Woodland Shrubbery will be in full bloom for the 21st May, while the July date will give visitors a chance to see the maturation of planting in the West Garden. The Gardens will also be open to the public for a fund raising event for the NSPCC/Childline in mid August (date to be confirmed).
In June 2013, we were delighted to host a party in support of Walk on Wales. The evening helped to raise local awareness of the teams which set off from the steps of the Welsh Parliament in August 2013 and walked in relay along the newly opened 870 mile Welsh Coastal Path. The walk finished 70 days later back in Cardiff on the steps of Llandaff Cathedral, raising much needed funds for the Welsh Guards' Afghanistan Appeal and Combat Stress. With a Chicago speakeasy theme Brynkinalt-style, glamorous guests embraced the 1920's dress code and enjoyed cocktails, gambling tables and dancing in the Great Hall. Thanks to the very kind sponsorship by local companies including Kronospan Limited, Wynnstay Group Plc, Castell Howell Foods, The Green Electrician, Belton Cheese and Miles Macadam Construction & Surfacing, the party raised nearly £8,000 for this special cause. For more details on the success of the walk visit www.walkonwales.org
On Saturday 30th August 2014, the Gardens were open to the public for a fund raising event for the NSPCC/Childline. The tea and homemade cakes were very popular as was the face painter, and the weather was kind while visitors explored the formal West Garden and the woodland Ornamental Shrubbery. We were delighted to raise just over £1,700 so a large thank you goes out to all of those who helped on the day and to everyone who supported the event by coming along. We hope to repeat the event next year (date yet to be confirmed - will be posted here soon).

The third annual event will take place at the MassMutual Center on Feb. 28, 2012. More than 400 women are expected to attend the event which is designed to empower women with the information, education and awareness needed to help reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke. The event will kick off at 9 a.m. with registration followed by educational breakout sessions, a silent auction, inspiring Western Massachusetts female survivor stories and educational keynote speaker, Ginger Zimmerman. She is a heart transplant survivor and motivational speaker. "Too few people realize heart disease is the number one killer of women claiming the lives of 460,000 women each year, more than all forms of cancer and the next five leading causes of death combined," Ebert said. "But what they also don't realize is despite being the leading cause of death heart disease is mostly preventable through education and research. With the information provided through this luncheon, women will have a better understanding of how they can take an active role in their personal health to prevent heart disease and improve their health." LaRue said, "The American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement challenges women to know their risk for heart disease and take action to reduce their personal risk. It plays a leading role in providing women with the tools they need to lead heart-healthy lives. This is a great opportunity for the women of western Massachusetts to hear from survivors and professionals and then take what they learn and share it with others in our community." Since its inception in 2004, more than 1.2 million women have signed up for the Go Red For Women Movement and statistics show that 96 percent of women registered achieved at least one health behavior change. Some of these include:

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sam!
Facts about Sam
- Breed: Basset Hound/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Senior
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Sam's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet our Sam. Sam came to us from a kill shelter in KY where his days were numbered. He was a favorite to all the shelter staff and we knew we had to save this old soul. Sam is house trained, great with other dogs, LOVES his belly rubbed and has lots of life and love to offer anyone. He is estimated to be about 10 years old, we are unsure about his breed but judging by his stature and body build we are guessing he is a Basset Hound Mix. He has such a unique look and personality you just have to meet him in person.
If you are interested in adopting Sam please follow the link to our website to submit and adoption applicaiton: www.heavencanwaitanimalrescue.com.
*Adoption Fee*
$200.00 includes the following: neuter, parasite free, Rabies vaccination, DHLPP , vaccination, Bordetella vaccination, microchip, heartworm negative and current on prevention.
Thanks for choosing adoption!!!!
Other Pets at Heaven Can Wait Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sam, a Russellville Basset Hound/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basset Hound/Labrador Retriever for sale in Russellville, or seeking a Basset Hound/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Russellville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Russellville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Russellville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Basset Hound/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Basset Hound/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Russellville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Pros: It was well worth the price and loud and clear enough for a small room. Bottom line, if u want power. Go buy the Klipsch 2.1. It will cost u another $125 or so but has a real 200 watt sound. I have it on my computer and the coby in da rest room for my mp3.

"The Very Worst Thing," a documentary film about the worst school bus crash in U.S. history, will be screened at the historic State Theatre 8 p.m. May 14. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the State Theater box office, and a limited number of tickets are also available for online purchase at www.theveryworstthing.com.
If you are wondering how those flowering planters miraculously bloom on the square or how the pocket park between the Woman's Club building and the Masonic building is maintained, here's the answer. Main Street does it, partly through purchase of plants and rock and partly through volunteers planting and weeding efforts. Sometimes we are assisted by supervised inmates.
Congratulations to our board members who have appeared in the Herald News recently: Michael Huff, named a Governor's Scholar; Nina Cundiff, elected 2010-2012 Fourth District Vice-Governor for the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs. Also, great picture of Leah Carter with some of the Lincolns a couple of weeks back.
The LaRue County Farmers Market is open two afternoons a week until October in the Extension Office parking lot. The market is 2-5:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays. You'll find a variety of items now such as herbs or other bedding plants, flowers, honey, or early season fresh produce like asparagus. Local beef is also available and grilled hamburgers will be offered on many Fridays.
With so many weight loss programs available, it is easy to become confused about what works and what does not when it comes to losing weight to lower your risk for type 2 diabetes. The National Diabetes Education Program wants you to know that you don't have to knock yourself out to lower your risk. In fact, the findings of a major study show that modest weight loss can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by more than half. Here are some proven small steps developed by NDEP to help you make gradual lifestyle changes to lose weight safely and keep it off.
From the Kentucky Housing Corporation, Community Ventures Corporation has received $199,500 from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and $500,000 from the HOME Investment Partnership. These funds will be used to construct or acquire and rehab seven units of affordable housing in 28 rural Kentucky counties including LaRue. Funding will used for acquisition and construction with a portion converted to permanent financing (down payment and closing cost assistance) for the homebuyer. Eligible homebuyers must have incomes at or below 80 percent average median income.
Operation: Military Kids is a collaborative effort with Kentucky's communities to support military children, youth and families impacted before, during, and after deployment. The Family and Consumer Sciences Extension program at the University of Kentucky is helping to coordinate OMK in our state.
OMK provides support to military families who are geographically dispersed, recognizing that these families have significantly different needs than those families on active military installations. For more information, visit www.operationmilitarykids.org.
Treasure can be found in the most unlikely places and, according to the U.S. Treasury, Americans have about $15 billion dollars worth currently hiding in sock drawers, piggybanks, on automobile floorboards and under the sofa cushions. It is estimated that the average household accumulates $50 worth of change every month. It may seem like a bit of a stretch to think of pocket change as an investment opportunity, but in 20 years at 5 percent interest, that $50 in change would yield more than $20,000.

Ohio University Houses Students At Waterpark Resort
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene.
Capital University, just outside Columbus, Ohio, was gearing up for the new school year when the administration found itself in a slippery situation. There weren't enough dorm rooms on campus. But a local business quickly dove in with a solution: Fort Rapids Resort, an indoor water park. Thirty students will, you might say, tread water there until space frees-up on campus. It's all included in their tuition - yes, including access to the water park itself.

Advanced Offshore Wind Energy - Atlantic Consortium
To make US university research more relevant to the wind industry, and to advance wind companies in this fast-developing technology field--these two sectors need more engagement than we have seen to date. To accomplish a more synergistic relationship, the University of Delaware has organized an industry-university consortium: "Advanced Offshore Wind -- Atlantic Consortium." University research participants are from UD, the University of Maryland and Old Dominion University. The activities of the Consortium includes multiple lines of wind power research, and creation of new graduate and advanced undergraduate courses relating to wind power from various disciplines. Both research and course content are reviewed and advised by a Board of Industrial Advisors from the wind industry. Photo below shows the Board of Industrial Advisors, PIs and researchers, on site at UD's 2MW wind turbine during a Board meeting in June 2012. The Principal Investigator (PI) is Willett Kempton, and the Consortium is funded by the US Department of Energy as project DE-EE0003535. Click here for the
Atlantic Wind Consortium
site, including reports developed as part of this award.
This project concluded on June 30, 2014.
Improving Atmospheric Models for Offshore Wind Resource Mapping and Prediction Using LIDAR, Aircraft, and In-ocean Observations (IMPOWR)
This research project is using ocean meteorological tower measurements in conjunction with an airborne LIDAR in order to validate an ocean meteorological model, the
Weather Research & Forecasting
(WRF) model.
Energy Management, Inc. is making its meteorological tower at the Cape Wind offshore wind farm in Nantucket Sound available for the research project, and project researchers are installing new, high-quality meteorological instruments on the tower for validation of the atmospheric model. UD is a major subcontractor to SUNY Stony Brook for this DOE-funded project, DE-EE000537; the overall Principal Investigator is Professor Brian Colle of the SUNY Stony Brook
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences
. Investigators on the UD subcontract are Professors Dana Veron and Cristina Archer. See the
IMPOWER website
here as well as
Dr. Archer's personal website
A System Design Study for Wilmington Canyon Offshore Wind Farm
How to reduce costs for future offshore wind development?
This project attempts to do so by "integrated design," that is, using combined teams who design the foundation, tower, deployment vessel together. Funded by US Department of Energy as project DE-EE0005484, the project will develop a cost-optimized, integrated system design of an offshore wind plant. Participating organizations include Moffatt & Nichol, Weeks Marine, Signal International, CG, Clipper Windpower, and Atlantic Grid Developers. Willett Kempton is principal investigator for this project; Richard Bowers is the project manager.
Mid-Atlantic Offshore Wind Interconnection and Transmission
The Mid-Atlantic Offshore Wind Interconnection and Transmission (MAOWIT) project will provide a detailed analysis to evaluate the pros and cons of offshore transmission, which is outlined in the DOE Office Wind Strategic Plan (DOE 2011) as a possible method to decrease the balance-of-system costs and permitting time of offshore wind farms. It will also address related and pressing questions regarding the adequacy of existing transmission infrastructure and the ability of existing generating resources to provide the necessary ancillary services support (spinning and contingency reserves) in the PJM region. Principal Investigator is Willett Kempton; project manager is Kathleen Harris.
Funded by US Dept of Energy as project DE-EE0005366. The work of researcher
Christina Archer

Sailor's Energy
EPSCoR: Innovations in Renewable Energy
CCPI Scientists John Madsen and Bonnie Ram, as part of University of Delaware's NSF-funded Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) grant, received two years of funding to research innovations of renewable energy. The target of this research is to reduce costs and properly address issues associated with geotechnical property and environmental risks in the offshore wind areas in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. As part of their research, they will develop a picture of the sediment
in the offshore wind areas and apply an integrated risk analysis to the development of offshore wind.
Marine Spatial Planning
Identification of suitable locations for offshore wind projects is a complex process. Marine Spatial Planning is a tool that accounts for existing ocean uses and features, incorporating long-term regional goals. In Delaware, and elsewhere in the United States, there has been increased attention on ocean renewables, with particular focus on offshore wind power development. In this research project we analyzed 29 sources of data to generate 48 multi-layered GIS maps and an accompanying policy document that incorporates current information about existing users and uses, wind resources, bathymetry, marine geology, and ecological features, measured where possible in both space and time. Read the
full report here
. Principal Investigator was Jeremy Firestone. Beyond the report, recent MS graduate Katya Samoteskul published an article in 2014 that investigated the costs and benefits of diverting commercial ships further offshore in the Mid-Atlantic, thus freeing up nearer-coast locations for offshore wind power turbines. In addition under another
NOAA grant, an ongoing project led by PhD student Alison Bates is evaluating the extent of potential conflict between commercial fishing and offshore wind power development in the Mid-Atlantic.
Impacts of Offshore Wind on Beach Use
The purpose of this project, funded by NOAA and BOEM, is to measure how the presence and visual impact of offshore wind projects might affect recreational beach use on the east coast of the United States. George Parsons is the Principle Investigator, and
along with Professor Firestone and graduate students, is conducting an internet-based stated preference survey. See Professor Parson's
for more information and updates to the project.
Maryland and Delaware Choice Experiment
Principal Investigator Jeremy Firestone received a two-year grant from the Delaware/NOAA Sea Grant to study the willingness of Delaware and Maryland residents to pay a premium above current electricity rates for offshore wind power generated electricity. Work on the choice experiment survey began in February 2014. Meryl Gardner, George Parsons and recently matriculated PhD student Lauren Knapp work on the project. The hypothetical offshore wind projects that will be studied are located off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland and Fenwick Island, Delaware in BOEM's Maryland Wind Energy Area. The mixed-mode survey (internet and mail) is slated to commence
in late August/early September 2014. Photomontages are being prepared by
Macro Works
Delaware and New Jersey Public Perceptions
In both Delaware and New Jersey, a) a coastal wind project has recently become operational, b) an entity has proposed near-shore (state-waters), small-scale (six turbine) test/demonstration projects, and c) the first proposed offshore transmission line in the United States was proposed to make landfall. The three planned NJ projects are or will be located in the greater Atlantic City area, while the three Delaware projects extend from just inside Delaware Bay in the Lewes area to Indian River, thus facilitating an examination of public perceptions of local residents who may be effected by the projects. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2013, followed by a mail survey in 2013. The first two articles will be submitted for publication by the end of summer 2014 and an oral presentation on offshore transmission will be given at the 2014 AWEA Offshore Wind Conference. Principal Investigator is Jeremy Firestone and the lead graduate student is Alison Bates. Funded by NOAA Sea Grant. Separately, graduate student Heather Thompson is comparing visual perceptions of land-based wind and conventional coal in Delaware. That project is partially funded by First State Marine Wind, LLC. Photomontages were prepared by

I believe Scott has nailed it.
This is a discussion on "I Don't Want to Be One of Those Gun People" within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Euc, I believe Scott has nailed it....

I guess that I am what he was thinking of, not kkk crap but Southern:

-My Fathers only Son (true child)
-Grew up in a semi-racist home. Got over it. Found that everyone has the same blood flowing through their veins as I. Just look different but I like that.
-Office administrator (I call it being a file jockey)
-Prior Air Force
-Disabled Veteran (why I'm no longer Air Force)
-Will give anyone, everyone the time of day.
Now some "not" so obvious traits of a gun owner:
-Gay (non-practicing, other reasons)
-Was invited to join MENSA from the online test. Didn't carry through to have a member come to my home to give the written/oral test. No interest in them or their organization.
Traits that are stereotypical of gun owners:
-Drunkard (not alcoholic that I know but maybe ?).
I don't think that "thick headed" really knows what a gun person really is. Or even who people really are. We tend to put everyone into some sort of stereotype or judge them and then either get rid of them (if they have the power) or to demonize them. It's just so much easier to put people into a box and judge them, then to really try to understand them, as individuals.
From the above comments I believe we have a very strong American wall to withstand any of the worlds trash they wish to throw at us. Very impressive people all from all walks of life. We have quite a mix here of intense patriot Americans. We are fortunate indeed. Very proud to stand with them(I am a 20 year vet).

The reactions and comments I have read here make me proud to be a part of this forum. Everyone kept thier composure and didn't go flying off the handle. Way to go guys and gals.

I'll freely admit, I'm usually a magnet for clowns like Thick Headed who only want to agrue for the sake of argument. The older I get, the better I am at bailing on lost causes at the earliest possible moment...and the less I care about what nimrods think of me.

i need to dig up my spider lilies and move them to oklahoma with me next month. the foilage is yellow now and could technically be cut. Should i did the bulbs up, dust with a fungicide and store in a nylon bag and plant when I get there, or should I take them out of the dirt, and put them in another pot of dirt immediatly and then plant in the ground when i get to the new house. I might add that there is some time in between when we will be in a rental house until our new house is finished being built. It will be finished about end of August and they will bloom normally the end of Sept...any experience moving these babies? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you know for sure actually what the spider lilies are, as there are numerous ones that go by that term. What you have, 'may' not be hardy in OK, so you may even have to think about planting them in pots, and storing in a protected area, away from freezing temps, in order to keep them. Do you know what zone you will be in in OK? If you don't, you can go HERE to find out your new zone. If they are red, chances are that they are Lycoris Radiata which is hardy to zone 7. Sue |

My HG nude! This is one of only three lipsticks that I have worn down to the end, the other two being Trish McEvoy Geisha (discontinued) and one of the Rouge Pur's from YSL. It is the perfect peachy/pinky nude for PPPs. It is rather matte so I add a touch of Lancome Juicy Tube in Simmer and I'm off! So pretty and natural and sexy.
Good lord, I love this lipstick. My first NARS lipstick ever. This is the ultimate color for me. NC 20-25, dark blonde hair, dark blue eyes. This is amazing. A little drying, yeah, but just keep alternating with lip balm. This color can't be missed for someone looking for the best peachy lipstick ever.
Barbarella is a sheer pale apricot with a hint of pink. The formula is such that it allows for a creamy but still natural finish or the sheerest application that makes for a really natural and innocent look. Think Asian pop. It's a very cute color that goes well with my high contrast coloring -- very pale skin, dark hair, brown eyes, black eyebrows.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Lately I've gotten hooked on neutral lipsticks, which sucks since I'm less PPP and more PASTY... I'd heard a lot of good things about this shade but was reluctant to try it because it's really pricey, probably the most expensive lippy I own. But it's absolutely perfect! The color isn't beige so much as really pale peach, and it's lovely. Texture is creamy and it lasts a long time. The packaging is nothing special, but it's solid so at least I don't have to worry about it breaking (Vincent Longo? I'm looking at you.) HG neutral lippy!
This is a sheer peach color without shimmer which appear as true peachy nude on my lips. I love this color and it is great to wear with any lipgloss. The texture is light and moisturizing without the Nars signature scent and I absolutely adore the packaging, so classy and unique that stands out in my lipsticks stash.
More reviews by pinstripemafia
I have been on an elusive hunt for flattering peach lip shades for so long I'm about to pull my hair out. Glosses and lipsticks, balms and tints, I've been trying it all. Many were either too orange, too sheer, or just plain unflattering. Barbarella is definitely an exception. Its a perfect peach that actually looks the same on my lips as it does in the tube. HALLELUJAH!!! The only drawback is that it is a little bit drying and the color is flat. This is an easy fix with a clear or sheer gloss slicked over it. A small price to pay for a peach that actually packs a punch! Its not a HG since it requires some extra work, but it'll definitely be a stand in until I find one...if ever.*sigh*
What first attracted me to this shade was the fact that I had nothing like it. It's kind of pink, but overall it's peach. This color actually is identical to my natural lip color, only a bit lighter, so when I put it on there is a subtle yet distinctive difference. The color isn't the only thing I love-- the sleek, moisturizing texture is great, as is the slight shine and staying power. The price ($22.50 US) is truly nothing to write home about, but I have no problem spending money on products I feel I couldn't have gotten similar for at a lower price. I would recommend this to *anyone*, it's an excellent every-day, girl-next-door color.
Oh girls, I wanted to love it but I don't. The color is beautiful, a true peach but the formula is awful, it dries my lips like a desert, ok it's semi-matte but it looks on me like an extra-matte. Won't buy again since it's expensive and I don't like matte formulas.
This lipstick was just 'okay.' Definitely NOT a HG. I personally didn't find it long-lasting at all, and the color was just average on my NC20 skin- I'm sure you could find something like this in much cheaper lines. As far as actual quality is concerned, however, I think it's got a nice texture, and if you can find a shade that suits you, check these out.
