    So What's the TV Frog?

    I have a Android media player etc I have the Android media player, Roku, and a 4k smart TV. I also have triple play cable. Most of the Android apps are free like Plex, the Roku supports pay and free apps including ones tied to cable movie channels, and of course cable charges but I get TV...

    Ceiling heights in houses

    My manufactured home was built in 96 so they were doing vaulted ceilings with a open floor plan for the living room, kitchen, and dining room. Ceiling is about 71/2 to 91/2. They were building pretty nice houses for the money and I like it just fine except for some of the corners cut to save...

    So I needed another vintage console HiFi, right?

    The turntable probably uses a rim drive rubber wheel and maybe the wheel has hardened, got a flat spot or the motor has locked up from sitting. It looks brand new but that's a long time to sit idle so a lot of things may have locked up or gone bad. I'd fix it up seeing how it's a nice time...

    And End To My Low Flow (Toilet) Woes

    My house has two builder grade Pro Flo 1.6 flush toilets in it installed when they rehabbed it before I bought it. They are 5 years old and the whole flush valve setup in mine started leaking and not stopping the flush when tank was full. It also plugs easily and takes a couple of full hold...

    Lawn Mower Collectors?

    I love old Snapper mowers. I had a nice old commercial version that was great but had a welded deck from running over something and a bad drive belt and idler wheel. I paid 10 bucks for it after verifying it ran and at least tried to self propel. I bought a new belt and idler for about 30 bucks...

    Windows 7 Directly to Windows 10 Creators Update: Heck, Yeah

    When my buddy and I built my newest machine we just did a clean install of 10 pro 64 using a 7 ultimate license, it installed fine back less then a year ago I'm guessing. Later I found the hacked 8.1 media center files seeing how I have a HD Homrun Prime 3 tuner cable TV tuner that supports a...

    Top Load or Front Load....?

    I like top loaders because that's what I'm used to and most are easy to service and get parts for that usually are cheap. I bought a new Kenmore 28102 he top loader because the reviews were good and it's a direct drive that Whirlpool makes so again parts are available and cheap. BUT the main...

    Interior doors

    My house is a manufactured home originally planted in 96. All the trim at this point is painted 2 inch wide thin trim that may have had wood grain at some point. All the inside doors have been replaced with cheap hollow core doors, the exterior ones are metal skinned cheap doors that may or may...

    LED headlights for the Subaru

    Been planning to go led on sisters 99 300m as changing out the bulbs is a stupid involved process requiring removing in the least the inner fenders and trim peices and cranking the wheels to reach from behind, stupid design that is overly complicated and takes a lot of time to do. Lil sisters...

    Sleeping with a fan on, anyone else?

    I tend to use one during the summer, have one of those vertical triple fan jobs with a thermostat. During the winter window stays closed and double pane window and house is tight so very quiet inside. It's quiet enough that one early morning a guy shot his girlfriend, crashed his car down our...

    Audiophile Porn

    Grew up with records and tubes, when cd's first came out the sound was so good compared to most of what I was used to it wasn't funny. It was mind blowing how dead quiet it was till the music faded in and the dynamic range was scary. Unfortunately after a few years the loudness wars started and...

    Coming up on 2 years as a homeowner, some thoughts

    Been in my redone manufactured home almost 5 yeard now. The included stove and dishwasher were Sears Kenmore stuff, SS builder grade but same here. Dishwasher is loud but dishes get clean, the stove is actually pretty nice and everything works way better than the old Whirlpool worn out early 80s...

    Speed Queen FL on the fritz *again*

    Sounds like the kind of deals we used to get as a family when I was a kid. When I moved to my first house family gave me the beat Whirlpool we had used for years and I got a cheap dryer eventually that all barely made it a year. Then I found a new Hot Point bol washer and dryer set from a shady...

    How phishing e-mail works

    I've been getting the your PayPal account will be limited, click link to reply off and on. I just go to my PayPal account as if they have sent me anything it will be in my mail folder. Nothing is ever there so it's a scam. They aren't going to be limiting a account unless something is really up...

    This settles it once and for all

    People with 4 wheel drives always forget you can go fine but stopping is another manner entirely. I always ran 4 wheel studs on my Dart because I discovered one day no grip on the front on ice would lead to no grip for steering on the front wheels. Bounced over a curb, nocked a big rock outa the...

    This settles it once and for all

    All the tires back then were junk, so were the primitive drumb brakes but at least all the cars were equal pretty much in that regard. We had plenty of old cars with bias ply tires when I was a kid and I seem to remember getting some early radials on one of them and how much better it drove...

    Sears suppliers getting concerned

    I bought our he washer from Sears as a demo at their outlet store in 2013 when I got my first decent refund from buying this house. Full warranty, delivered and setup, under 600 bucks, plus a Whirlpool design that should be cheap and easy to fix down the road. Did the same the next year with a...

    It was fun while it lasted - Panasonic "Genuis" MW Oven

    My 800 watt big Emerson stopped heating and it turned out to be a bad solder joint on the circuit board. Redid it and it has been working fine ever since and I garage sell'd it years ago. Wouldn't hurt to poke around carefully and see if it's something stupid and easy like that on yours.

    Whirlpool Dryer stopped heating

    You can short across the leads of the cutoff and if element then works the cut off is bad. First time I did mine after the vent hose got blocked I just replaced the switch, second time the local parts shop sold me both parts cheap explaining they should be replaced as a set. Never knew about the...
