What is really bad is there isn’t a vacuum cleaner discussion-information site to use.

What is going on? I have now abandoned vacuumland.-can’t use-SAD

Good news for me-I am now back to work. The plant is owned by Radio Marti-broadcast to Cuba The plant isn’t broadcasting right now-there is a possibility the short wave broadcasts my be resumed at a future date The transmitters don’t like being idle. Me and the other fellow have gotten two...

The small print on these posts are hard to read-can they be enlarged like on other threads?

My house is equipped with the warm color LED lights. Like these better than the blue tint LED lights.

The trash trucks in my home area are top load side loaders with the cart arm. The recip ram compactor is in the truck body. Trash nowadays may be compacted more than once enroute-than again at the landfill with sheep foot shell compacter vehicle that’s spread and compacts the waste even again...

Trash truck capacity is rated in cubic yards-the more waste compacted per cubic yard the better-fewer trips for the truck. And less fuel use.

Don’t see the need for home trash compactors when the compact in a trash truck can crush with over 20 tons of force.

I have used coin washers like this in apartment buildings and worked OK for me. And the same building had WP , SQ coin machines before the GE. This was like almost over 25 yrs ago.

For tubed radios-have seen many of these left plugged in for years without problem.At how quickly the fire burned my house-the sprinklers wouldn’t have made much difference. In the several min after I called the fire dept the house was halfway burned. And oh yes had a couple of tubed radios...

My house does not have sprinklers. The place does have battery-line powered smoke alarms in the small hall and in the bedrooms. Even the forth bedroom over the garage. This is the only place in the house that has stairs. Most home in this development are made this way. Often sprinklers can cause...

Something else to think about-since I have gone thru the fire claim-the insurance company treated me well. Paid for my lodging and settled on the burned home until I could buy another. The place I am in now was paid for by settlement payments. No mortage payments on my new place. I was built in...

I have already lost a home from an unknown fire-so I am not taking chances of running things while not home or asleep. It’s a Russian Roulette chance! Not worth it to me-if you can lower the risk-do it. I don’t need to use portable heaters in my new place. The Trane heat pump unit gives year...
