Retro glider looking for a new home
by Lori Kasenter 04 May '21

04 May '21

This retro glider needs a new home. It's not getting the love it deserves on our porch. We got this in 2014 from Grandin Road. It has some really minor rust on some of the edges that could be easily touched up with rustoleum (see photos). Note in Grandin Road's description below that it weighs 117 pounds and is 72" wide. This is a two-person moving job and we can't help you, unfortunately. It does separate in two pieces; my husband assembled it in 2014. You will need to carry it down four steps of our porch and then across our walkway to our driveway to your van or truck. The person who can show up FIRST with $25 cash and remove it can give this retro glider the love it needs, that is to say, cover it in the winter. We didn’t always, hence the light rust. But wait! There's more: the cushions you see on it come with it. Email replies only. Lori Kasenter Grandin Roads description: Rock your way back in time, with mid-century inspired style: our Retro Squares Outdoor Furniture Collection offers timeless charm paired with contemporary comfort. It offers plenty of room to relax on the porch or patio with the family or neighbors. All pieces are crafted from heavy-gauge steel with a bright powdercoat finish. • Classic outdoor glider seating set with a retro look and feel • Heavy-gauge steel construction • Durable all-weather powdercoat finish Retro Squares Glider Sofa measures 72"W x 29"D x 34"H, 117 lbs. Seat width, arm to arm: 60". Seat depth: 19". Seat height: 14-1/2". Arm height: 26-1/2". Arm length: 26".

Unexplained moisture over a "crawl space" - help!
by Amy Berecek 04 May '21

04 May '21

Hello! We are getting some moisture/condensation/water under our kitchen floor. We noticed because it is causing mold and rot in certain areas. No obvious leaks so suspect condensation trapped between the layers of flooring. A portion of our floor is over an unconditioned space. We are wondering if sealing or insulating could help. The space is not accessible without tearing things up. We're not sure who to call to get it fixed. Has anyone ever encountered this issue? It's a long shot, but we figured we can't be the only house in the area to have this issue! Thanks. Amy
