I'd go with the 36" length, any less and you'll have to crawl over the counter depending on your kitchen set up. A lot depends on the stoves fittings and BTU rating. Do you know the size of your supply line? 1/2" is pretty std. but other sizes are not uncommon.

That is not a plug, just a simple junction box. Ovens and cooktops are hard wired since they are not movable.

having used VISIONS for decades I might buy one or two pieces, but not a set. Bought a good quality SS set for my induction cook top, but always need an extra pot or two.

I have not used my central AC for close to a decade, but this year the heat/humidity got to me. I'm on a three tier electric plan so no AC from 2-7 rate is 18 cents a kw/hr. I keep it at 80 from 7-11 PM and 7 AM till 2 PM, rate 11 c kw/hr. from 11 PM to 7 AM I cool to 78 when the rate is 8 c...

NO, No never use the key/wrench when the disposal is energized. Power off or if possible unplugged when working on it.

Thanks you Louis, exactly. I was going to dig up a screen shot i took from just before the change over but you beat me to it.

That often happens when the plastic cam on the bottom hinge pin wears out. The OEM stuff lasted a decade or more, the replacements only seem to last a few years. I've tried a few different manufactures, no difference, but at least they are cheap.

On an other topic, one thing I miss - other than the colorful format - is the header with a complete list of forums. I am used to simply clicking on those now I have to go back and scroll down a list to get where I want to be. I understand this is frequently done to increase page view numbers...

Found the upgrade page, Silver looks fine. Thanks.

Sticker shock I was exploring the link Alan posted to my profile. My premium expires Sept. 14 and noted the fee is $96!!! I enjoy the site but $96 is a bit steep, especially in Sept. when my auto plates run $300.

The Links in Modern Living are a mess. I would guess all multi section threads are too.

Robert, I'm approaching this with a bit of trepidation - I knew this day was coming - just sooner than I expected. I  hope you find retirement enjoyable. You deserve it after putting up with all of us for so many years.  Well done!

I bought a hybrid Lisa mattress last year, can't say enough good things about it.   A year in it's just as comfortable.

I'm occasionally surprised at the number of posts that some threads differ from what I see. For me it's well worth not seeing garbage posts from a couple of people.

Thanks,  I'll take a look.
