I agree, I use Thunderbird and Gmail, works great.

I blocked this character over a month ago and my enjoyment of the site went up dramatically. If I see a 5 or 10 year old thread pop up with nothing there i know who's responsible.

The simple solution is called "blocking". Easy to do here.

For radon abatement they generally cut through the floor into the substrate, create a seal around that point, and continuously run a fan inline the PVC that vents outside at or above the roof line. At least that is the method I've seen in a number of installations I've seen.

I had a house I was flipping tested and it was fine luckily.  My cousin  bought a house last fall, had it tested, came back slightly high.  She decided to do abatement, had the system installed for about $800 here in Mid MI.  I'm sure prices vary around the country.  If the levels are high in a...

I like the $.10 deposit and would support it being expanded. While it's not fun returning bottles and cans, it has vastly cleaned up the road ways and rural areas.  I recall the mess along our roads prior to the return program.

90% of the time i just grab a box at Aldi.  Don't buy that much there anymore.

I believe that is a Corning range from '73 in the basement.   Interesting house, their interior designer should be banned from ever doing anything again.

Over the years CR has been involved in some lawsuits that turned me off a bit and there were products I owned and my experience differed greatly from their reviews. For me, these were enough to reduce my opinion of CR. Decades ago I was a long term subscriber, but I dropped them in the 90's...

I make a crescent almost exactly like the one posted.  Difference is mine calls for 1/2c. butter and 1/2c. shortening.  All butter makes the cookies too soft.  my recipe call for the dough to spend 3+ hours in the fridge, does make them easier to work with.  Bake at 350 for 18 minutes, do not...

Pete, I feel the exact opposite.  I have lost all respect over the years for anything CR does.  Too many reports of shady dealing behind the scenes. Wirecutter takes a bit of a different tac.  For example in their washer reviews one member lived with the top rated LG for 4 years and actually...

I may be part of large group that does not care about the scent. All I care about is does it do the job.  I use Dawn Ultra and once it's in a sink full of water there is not much scent.

Wirecutter tested a dozen washers an as many here can attest the LG WM4000 came out on top with Electrolux and GE close behind.    Lots of good info, backing up what many here have found, it terms of detergent amount and avoiding overloading the machine further down in the article...

Wirecutter tested 35 detergents  an Tide Ultra Oxi Powder came out on top followed closely by Tide Free & Gentle liquid and Persil ProClean Stain Fighter.   The write up is a very long and detailed dive into detergents.  I do not think it's behind a paywall...

Yeah, I've considered those.  I read mixed reviews. The stuff I might want to use do not have flat bottoms, tend to rock a lot.   Regardless still hope to find a drawer for the range so it's complete.

 I have a 30" 1960's vintage GE range, oven above and below, that is missing the drawer. Pulled it out of a house I was flipping and somehow the drawer got misplaced. Beautiful range, could not scrap it, no one wanted it. Was in storage, then on my back patio now in my garage.   I'm in the...

I have 4 down lights in one room on an older Smart dimmer.  They are a mix of brands and one of them will glow slightly when off.   In my kitchen I have 2 recessed Low voltage mini spots aimed at my cooktop.  These are quite old, on a Smart dimmer too, and they glowed quite brightly when off...

Daikin is one of 6 companies who are developing cold weather heat pumps and recently submitted to Gvt agencies for certification, there are other companies developing cold weather units also. I have been doing a good deal of research on HP in anticipation of the roll out of the rebates. I have a...

I do not know the status in CA but the Inflation Reduction Act has $$$$ for low income folks to upgrade to a heat pump. I Believe the number is $8300. I am anxiously waiting for MI to roll out he program, I will jump on it. There are income guidelines and over a certain income amount it...

Well after checking out Flex seal tape -$15 for 10' - I think I'll try Eddies suggestion. I have white duct tape, plus the hose is really not visible, so the tape should work well.  I may wrap the break with a thin strip of Saran just to keep the water off the duct tape, but with the wet vac...
