This is my first time here experiencing the new digs. Here's our 4 week old corgis, all girls!

10,000 years ago, the '70s & '80s I sold furniture & bedding in my family's store in Massachusetts. I always hated mattresses and box springs! You never knew what was inside of them! Things haven't changed all that much today. Sure, companies can create catchy websites, smooth lingo, enticing...

Mine came with the house, guesstimating 1990. She had some problems, control panel was rebuilt years ago. If & when we have to replace, the counter will need to be replaced.

My still sick Quasar oven Don't mean to be a noodge, but just in case someone happens to float through here & missed my plea back in November, I thought I'd leave this post & get it out of the weeds. I've still got my baby downstairs & I don't want to throw it out. If anyone knows anybody in...

Love the cabinets.

My grandmother's kitchen also had a pantry with a built-in ironing board. She also had her washing machine in the pantry, would pull the discharge hose across the narrow space into the sinkI

Combo52/ John Just so you know, I'm doing nothing until I hear from you!!! Thank you for your effort!!

St Paul/Twin Cities I'm not adverse to driving a bit!

The narrating chap isn't an expert when speculating on when this and that was bought or installed. The dining room fixture is hardly 60s. Have to admit, though it might make things a bit tougher when cooking, gotta dig the pantry with the sink, separate from the rest of the kitchen.

Looks quite bleak . . . . Finally found some time to open up the oven. Of course I was hoping to find some piece laying there broken, but no such luck. I unscrewed a few things, but nothing changed. I'm at a loss to find someone capable to repair this in my area. I guess I'll look a bit more...

Thanks David! That was a fascinating watch. I'm not the least bit equipped to do what you do. If only Alabama wasn't so far from Minnesota. I will take a look at the connections that have to do with the door, but I fear the worst. Thank you again!!

Don't worry John . . . . . . . . I ain't giving up yet!! Like I said, I'll open her up this weekend, but not sure I'll be able to discern anything. I did a bit of googling in search of repair shops & the like, but that kind of shoppe/person seems long gone.

Hi John! You had me at screwball!! Thanks oh so very much for the input! This problem has happened sporadically in the past, but would occur & then return to normal. Like a hiccup. Of course I keep hoping this time was a hiccup too, but I don't think so. I haven't taken it off the shelf &...

Wow. That was fun! You don't find 'em like that anymore.

Oh no! I was here a year ago with a problem regarding my beloved (I mean that) Quasar microwave oven. Last years problem was brilliantly fixed with a simple fuse and all has been well, until today. When I attempt to turn it on, all I get is a "click." The touch-pad still works, by which I mean...
