Staircat! I think I have the same stair-climbing appliance dolly! That was one of the best things I've ever bought, it has made moving appliances cake!. Dave

It's partially together!

Well, I inherited a rather nice find from my grandmother. A modular Cresco "wall unit" in teak! I am curious to know more about it. From the research I've done, I've found the designer was Finn Juhl. He designed it for France & Son. I believe mine dates to the mid to late 1960s. I am...

Chambers Imperial. I believe one of us has one in captivity, possibly 58Limited, but I could be mistaken. The Chambers Imperial was designed for larger-than-residential scale use, such as restaurants, hotels, churches, dining halls, etc. Imagine if Cadillac or even Rolls Royce made a huge...

Good, but it's not done yet! Treat it to a cleaned out exhaust duct, vacuum it out, and de-wax the lint screen. Then keep it going for another 30. Dave

Agi Tamer. Get your hands on an Agi Tamer. It's sort of a flattened but extra thick inner tube designed to go under an agitator. It gets filled with water, and it pops the agitator up. They really work well. Dave

Email Sent! I sent you an email. I'm looking forward to what may come. Have a great week, Dave

Decisions. All that moving to swap out a washer is a pain. I think you ought to save yourself some frustration and just drive that old ABS down here to Cincinnati. I'd keep a good eye on it for you! Seriously though, that is some very impressive work! Keep it going! Dave

Vents. Do you have central AC? If so, make sure that a vent to the basement is open. Not for comfort, but for humidity control and to keep some air exchange happening in the basement. I second the heat pump water heater. They are expensive, but boy, can they come in handy and kill 2 birds...

No Sweat. It does the same job by either name. At least it's easy to fix. They tend to get fouled by hard water deposits over time. Dave

Injector The part referenced as an air break is called the injector. Its job is to prevent accidental back-siphoning of the water. It's a really easy thing to replace. It's part #16001677 and is commonly available. If you look up that part number on Youtube, you can get installation...

KD-11 or 12. Count me in for the KA! Maybe some others too, but definitely the KA. I'm in Cincinnati, so pickup shouldn't be too hard. I am busy this weekend, however. Thank you, Dave Maybe throw in the KD-2.

Multiples. I typically find that a top loading washer takes about 30 minutes to run a cycle. Dryers take about 45 minutes. Having 2 dryers will give you the time to keep the washer running pretty much constantly while you have the time to let the dryers finish, fold the clothes, and then...

I was sent this link at work. I know nothing about it, aside from it is very expensive. What is this thing, how old is it, and who made it? No, I am not buying it. Dave...

My experience thus far. I have been using mine in a Maytag stacked Dependable Care set (regular capacity washer with the orbital transmission). I've found it to be quite good, although I have had trouble striking a balance, given our rather hard water. Too much detergent, and it will leave...

DE806 That is a DE806, electric Halo of Heat dryer, and it is an oddball. It is odd because it is one of the last produced as it has a gold colored control panel instead of a blue one. There is no gas access door on the front, so this is an electric dryer. It is entirely electronically...

Lehman's Hardware I've got one of those about 2 years ago from Lehman's Hardware in Kidron, OH. They refurbish Maytag wringers for the Amish. Give them a call. Dave http://https//www.lehmans.com/

Macy's Macy's can have good deals with the right sale and coupons. I have bought 2 sets of 100% cotton percale sheets from their Martha Stewart line. One was around 220 thread count, and I would advise against this one as it is like sleeping on sandpaper, even after a year. The other set is...

Whirlpool DD repair. Whirlpool DD machines are pieces of cake to repair and usually worth it too. You can swap out a drive coupler and transmission in no time. Putting on a new clutch at the time is a piece of cake as well. I'd say to pony up the money for the parts and fix it. There are...

I want this, but it's not a good idea. I would love this dryer, but I'm just so busy right now I don't know when I'd be able to get it. (I'd also like to get the new floor put in my laundry room before adding more appliances to it) I'd say to keep me in mind if nobody else steps forward and I...
