    Grocery Shopping in 1971

    It depends on several factors such as age of the structure, build quality, and location. My folks paid home insurance for 45 years and never once used it. House was paid off in 1992. Insurance is a scummy predatory business scheme.

    Home insurance isn't required if the mortgage is paid off.

    Kitchenaid Hobart KDS19 leaking washers/ gaskets needed

    You need a seal and impeller kit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/286619391649 CAUTION!! When disassembling, you will come across spacing washers on top of the drain impeller (properly spacing of the wash impeller) and washer(s) under the drain impeller (proper spacing of the drain impeller)...

    Would you buy an handmade washing machine?

    At least the tub is metal and not plastic like the outer tubs in virtually everything else today except Speed Queen. That agitator and its 180 degree wash action is reminiscent of old school washers and is definitely better than just about anything today. Transmission probably overbuilt...

    Would you buy an handmade washing machine?

    I bet the washing performance and reliability are better than 90% of current US top loaders.

    Warm Water Washing Is the New

    I've never had anything bleed at 85F, even cheap new clothes with sketchy dyes. Remember that damp clothes go into the dryer which heats to around 150-155F. If bleeding is going to occur, that's where it'll happen and the drum doesn't doesn't lie.

    Warm Water Washing Is the New

    Most detergent manufacturers recommend a minimum of 75F for cold washing, 60F is way too cold for good results unless you are using a specific cold water detergent with the proper enzyme package. Tide Professional powder recommends a minimum temperature of 90F. I turn up my tempering valve to...

    Warm Water Washing Is the New

    75F and 100F are the absolute bare minimum temperatures for those categories. 85-90F for cold and 120F for warm are the upper limits. I'm currently running 87-90F for cold, 120F for warm, and 160F for hot using a tempering valve. That tempering valve is my favorite everyday laundering device...

    12v Automobile Battery

    High parasitic current draws in modern vehicles while sitting doesn't help battery life but there's been complaints with those who have 90's and older vehicles and the problem still exists.
