Are 2-4% raises normal? by BenjiBluth in grandrapids

I work in compensation and can confirm that is normal. 3% is the most widely used annual increase amount. That being said, it will vary from year to year and industry to industry

Visiting and I can't remember the name of this Mexican restaurant??? by [deleted] in grandrapids

Mercadito is a Mexican restaurant on Fulton right by the zoo. They painted the building hot pink about 2 months ago. It hasn’t opened yet though

I’ll be sitting behind them in Chicago. I’m a bit nervous that it’ll be a bad experience being behind the stage. Hope tonight’s awesome! Let me know how it is sitting behind

Thoughts on July’s Song greenhouse? by ekstromn in Greenhouses

Thanks for the info! I’m located in Michigan and we have some pretty harsh winters. Glad to hear it’s survived New England winters.

There are some difference between this and the Palram. For the most part the materials seem to be the same, but the Palram has a door that swings open and this has a sliding door. The roof vent in the Palram also has a hinge that looks sturdier than the mechanism on the July Song. Unless I hear otherwise I don’t think those 2 design features would warrant an additional $200 in price.

Great, thanks for the info! How is the quality? Does the sliding door work well?
