Did Thermador offer the built ins before WWII? This house was supposedly built in '40 so plans would have probably been drawn in '38 or '39. I would not be surprised if the pass through above the cooktop was added later as kitchens in pre-war luxury homes were often designed to be isolated from...

.4 acres is quite a large lot in most older suburban neighborhoods. Los Feliz is pretty much all hilly, some lots have steep slopes that are difficult to build on while others have more useable area so lot size can be misleading. If the house really is a Paul Williams as was claimed by the...

I recall my aunt using Salvo or something similar in her slant front Westy, too cool!

It's hard to imagine a classic GE P7 thread without Sandy chiming in at some point. Nice range, hope it goes to a good home.

Cheese and sausage gift baskets? That's hardly a replacement for burpilators and flockers!

Even though it was 70 degrees here today that soup sounds damned good, there are few soups I like better than split pea and ham. Also looks great on the ever so stylish terrace top range!

OSH was owned by Sears until fairly recently when they sold it to Lowe's. I liked having Craftsman tools there as it was handy to drop by if I needed something like light bulbs for Craftsman flashlights that use their 19.2v tool system batteries. Now I've heard that Sears is going to close their...

IIRC my first component turntable was a 1229 when I was in high school, I mowed lawns to pay for that thing! It was a nice turntable even being Dual's BOL and never gave me any trouble. Ultimately it was sold to someone in my dorm at university and replaced with a belt drive Setton, my reasoning...

Wonderful Thread . . . There is so much design elegance in these coffeemakers, even the boxes are cool!

Now I understand what’s going on and there are some red flags. The first question I’d ask is who sets the asking prices for the lots. Infill development is tricky because the value of a lot depends largely on the neighborhood and what sort of home is supported in that neighborhood. A good...

Lovely but . . . It's a good thing it is so pretty and shiny to look at because the owner is going to have it for a long, long time.

I’m not a real estate professional but as an architect know a bit about building and development and am also friends with a few realtors. A few thoughts that come to my mind: -I’m wondering what the situation is where a city is selling residential lots; this is unusual. My first assumption...

Maybe it's better to think in terms of watts not amps, comparing a European circuit that runs at a nominal 240 volts to a North American circuit that runs at 120 volts cannot be done without accounting for the voltage differences. If the switch is rated for 10 amps at 240v then it can handle...

Love that DW, so pretty!

Most likely the reference is to the POD today with the Model 300 and 400, a matched washer and dryer with "exclusive push-button controls". I'm not sure who actually made these but no doubt someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

Just Gorgeous . . . That one's too beautiful to die, how can you part out a machine that works? It's telling you "I want to live!" http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_iQdDy3tr0

Love, love, love that Biscayne Blue!

Congrats on this . . . That’s a gorgeous dryer, and being gas it’s that much more desirable since many older homes aren’t set up for electric dryers. I think this console is prettier than the next design, even if I did grow up with that one! Regarding the “little old lady from Pasadena”, a...

Clunky? Nope, not with all that chrome and nice trim; I think a new translucent plasti-vac looks clunky! I always loved the shape of the Celebrity, so very space age. The early wheel-less air-ride models really fascinate me but they don't have much in the way of features and are less powerful...

There are people who paint whole cars with Plasti Dip; they like the idea that it's cheap and available in gaudy colors but can be peeled off when the owner is tired of it. I see dipped cars around now and then, mostly newer high end cars, and would tire of it instantly. However, dishwasher...
