Algae is the devil I've had aquariums off and on over the years. Always smaller sized freshwater tanks as Saltwater was out of my budget. The last 10 years, give or take, I've maintained a 55 Gallon tank that I inherited from a relative that got tired of maintaining it   The past 2 years or...

Dave, <blockquote> "<span style="color: #3366ff;">an extremely rare occurrence and not something that was likely to ever be a factor"</span>   </blockquote> Exactly..... haha.   Now you have me curious to see the booklet :)

mrkombi .. What a beauty! Congrats and good luck with the rest of the project.   Spacepig... I also liked the original pictures... the last image in your original post would have given my Mom a heart attack however. haha. She grew up in the 40's/50's and that old tale of how she had heard that...

Sarah... Hand pumps are fun. no joke haha. I grew up summers going to the UP in Michigan to this old logging cabin with my family for a week each July. The only water to the place was a pump at the kitchen sink, us kids loved that thing.. we'd come up with reasons to use it constantly, pump...

Laundress, The "Period House" series of shows is a favorite of mine also, 1900 house being the first "____ House" I ever saw.   I think living like it's 1901 would be fun for a short time frame. I would compare it to camping, or renting a rustic cabin for a vacation, something you do for a...

Never heard of one either But it sure is neat looking. I agree with you tolivac... using it as multi media center, with the modern TV on top like they have it, and the vintage stereo as a stand is an awesome, non destructive, way to combine modern convenience with vintage coolness.

I know.... That there were mixed feelings on this when I first posted about it a few months ago. But for anyone interested in seeing it, the first show will finally air this Monday at 9 EST on HGTV.    

henene4,     I've never seen the video but the oven sounds cool. I did a quick search and like combo52 mentioned, these ovens that Alton advertised were first made over 10 years ago. Here is a no longer active link to G.E.'s webpage that featured all of their Alton Brown collaborations from...

Laundress.... Whenever I see eBay auctions like that it always brings to mind that TLC reality show from several years ago called <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Extreme Couponing</span>. The people they profiled would somehow get a local grocery store to give them thousands of...

Thanks Turqoisedude .... for the info. Sounds really interesting. I know I appreciate having other options. UPS and similar are so expensive.   So with that... I thought I'd also share a service I discovered awhile back, always meant to share the info but never got around to it.   I found a...

Agreed as well. Sometimes I'll go on one of those and forget why I was there in the first place and back out of the page, back to Google where I realize "Oh yeah, I was looking for a recipe"   It's somewhat of a contradiction, we live in a very TLDR society because people of a certain age...

Appreciate it ! Guy...   Thanks for the manufacturer info. In the US, Danby is well known for compact size appliances, like mini fridges, kegerators and apartment sized ranges. So that makes sense considering the compact size of yours.   Good luck on the rec room project.   Tom... Thank you...

Nice Find Guy! Hope you got everything worked out for this, wish you luck if not.   It looks awesome! and what a cool little appliance... I've been looking for something like this too.   I can see the usefulness in it because of my own situation. I live in a renovated home in an efficiency...

Laundress... Neat!  And I learned a new word "Eponym" haha

The explanations make a lot of sense It kind of reminds me of how (most) people refer to any type of facial tissue as a Kleenex when in reality that's not what they are officially called it was just the most recognized brand name and eventually came to be the items definition.   Some people...

Sigh..... I know it's how the world works... but that listing title of "Scrap Metal" vs "Vintage Appliances" or something similar is rough.
