Um ... "If anyone has proof of these silly claims that new washers do not get the job done lets see it. " I believe we've just told you. Our clothes are not as clean and the cycles take at least twice as long. That certainly qualifies as "not getting the job done".

Manhattan ... ... since we're practically our own country.

Well ... "eBay is more and more filled with junk and or job lots of items from commercial/professional sellers." I don't know about that. I think it depends on what you're looking for. It was just this winter I scored a mint condition, top-to-bottom restored Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80. I've...

Jim ... ... well put!

Um ... "Why Did You Buy The Apartment?" Because I have to live SOMEWHERE and I couldn't afford a brownstone because I didn't have $8 million, I had "only" $3 million. As I said earlier, there always trade-offs.

Why can't ... ... you just bid at a super-high price to be assured of winning the item?

Well ... "but you have to wonder with some as to why they didn't have a list of things they would be looking to 'have' when they purchase a house or apartment....there would be priority, and then necessity.....hopefully fitting into their budget" Unfortunately, in New York City, priorities...

Yes, Rex ... ... crazy shift work here too. I've done some form of overnight/late night/early morning shift for the better part of 25 years. That's television. And people who've never worked overnights really don't get how hard it really is. One 8-hour overnight shift is like working 16...

Well ... ... the other things that are stopping me: -- no time (I'm a typical type-A personality New Yorker who works pretty much all the time) -- no workshop or even a few square feet to do any kind of messy project (I'm a typical New Yorker in a small apartment) I'd love to get back into...

Thank you ... ... for organizing this!!!

I'm in awe ... ... of all of the mechanical and technical abilities of those on this board. This is why I've become quite talented at writing out checks.

What is ... "I just use several layers of newspaper to cover the top of the container and make a tight seal, then quickly flip the container over, wait a couple of seconds for the dirt to settle and slowly remove the container. Cover the dirt with more newspaper and carefully wrap it up."...

No ... "Can you empty the FQ bin in the apartment house trash room or dumpster?" I'd have to walk five flights down and into the back courtyard (outside) to do this ... then of course all the way back upstairs.

Richard ... ... good for you. Now you can sleep at night, and really enjoy using your new washer/dryer. By the way, I now officially hate you. ;)

Matt ... WHAAAA? "Put it in a cold oven, I program the sensor for 160 degrees and let it go. a few hours later it is a perfect turkey." So basically a few hours in the equivalent of a gym steam room is enough to COOK a turkey??

Unfortunately ... "According to one's sources properties without in unit W&D and or that do not allow sell/rent for less in many cases. Even the UES "white glove" buildings from Lexington to Fifth Avenues are starting to realize this and allow washers and dryers to be installed."...

My only complaint about the Filter Queen ... ... living in an apartment, is that emptying it into the trash in the kitchen -- no matter how careful I was -- always ended up throwing out a cloud of dust over everything, which completely defeats the purpose of all that fancy filtration. I...

Wait ... ... you put chicken salad in the Tupperware lettuce crisper?? ;) I'm not a big mayo fan -- but I do enjoy a good chicken or tuna salad, particularly on a hot day. I use Whole Foods' organic brand of mayonaise. AND I put hard-boiled eggs in my salad ... with just some Himalayan...

I've been writing stories on EMF and health ... ... and frankly, the more I research, the more alarming the evidence I'm finding. And it's not just microwaves, but "dirty electricty" as well. Keep in mind that it's extremely difficult to "officially" connect ANY cancer cases to ANYTHING...

Launderess ... "OTOH you have often the other side of the coin today. Many new luxury buildings and or conversions of former commercial spaces into residential in Manhattan offer 208v-240v service for say the laundry and or kitchen areas; but it comes with a trade off." LOLOLOL! Yes indeed...
