I like my Speed Queens They get on average 1 load a week, 2 at most.  Laundry comes out clean.  Simple, perhaps crude, but certainly reliable.   No reboots, patches, software updates, no need to have a surge protector. Assm in Mexico Nidec motor is common as grass.  So is the drive belt.  ...

The show took a turn for the worse When, in the fifth season, they starting using GM cars instead of Mopar.   And it made NO sense whatsoever for MIke to be driving a 2 door convertible Cuda with 9 people to haul around!   Heck in the last season, they showed a 2 door Caprice convertible also!

they say it is had to stop a Trane I saw lots of them in FL, a few are up here, I think Lowes or HD has a display in their stores.   Kinda surprised that compressor gave up the ghost after 5 years.  It it was/is still the Climatuff, a Danfoss design, those are pretty much indestructible.  ...

If I had the ching I'd buy it.   Then I'd rip out all the modern stuff and scour the solar system if need be to make it retro 70's, say 71 or 72.   Oh how I long for those  young boy days................................

hang in there Mark I know it can seem like the world is crashing in but I agree with Eddie and others.   Main thing I like is the modest size at 1047 sq feet, it works perfectly for me.   Plus there is equity being built ever year. And privacy, to an extent, plus the joy of not having to...

I can dig it Any kitchen that makes one "merry' whilst cooking or cleaning is ok on my list!

Circular grille was a Fedders trademark I think. Or hallmark.   Didn't Norge own Fedders back in the day?

And it's a good thing Daikin bought Goodman They have constructed a brand new facility outside of Houston TX where all residential and commercial units will be made.   That means US jobs rather than Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Nortek scrambling to create jobs in Mexico.   And as opposed to...

Which causes me to question why the love affair with these so-called energy efficient HVAC systems when a simple motor replacement often wipes out whatever savings you may have obtained energy wise.  And if you really want to take it in the shorts, try replacing a control board or defroster...

Just haven't got around to cleaning up the cable.  Someday.........I will get something lined up where it is a tad more presentable.   Until then, I am digging OTA and Netflix and not missing the exorbitant cable TV bill.

do it!

Photos of my return vents 1047 SQ slab-on-grade home with 2 Ton Goodman AC and 60,000 BTU Goodman furnace.   In living room photo with TV, the bottom return air vent is to the left of the fan.   Attached vid of the Goodman running in August of 2015...

I'll post some pics of the air returns when I get a chance.   The airflow in my abode is quite robust and now that I have kicked myself to the garage to light up, smells a whole LOT better.

FWIW I never order papa johns unless there is a coupon or something.   Like in years past, if and IF the Pirates win, we can order online and use BUCSWIN50 and get 50 per cent off pizza. that in my mind is the only affordable way to order his crap.  Pay full price for a large, hell, I can go...

Joe brings up a good point here.   I've known several folks over the years that are "house rich, cash poor".  Or "stuff rich, cash poor".  Once they get done paying on a massive home, new cars, the super duper off the chart cell phone bill, the cable and/or satellite, et cetera, they can't...

Yes Glenn I meant absurd.    Compared to other locales,  I am fortunate tax-wise.

PeeAy has some of the most absorb property taxes from I have been told. But I count my blessings because in Allegheny cty, a reassessment was done a few years ago and it almost caused a revolution.   I have to outlays via escrow.  First is my city tax in April of $635.  Then in late July or...

true but same thing happens when you rent. When said slumlord sees taxes go up, your rent goes up also. Been there, done that, I rented for 15 years, same landlord, and rent went up every year yet I had nothing to show for it.

For now I like mowing It makes me feel like a true homeowner.  Something to be said about being out, grass flying, dodging bees, chopping up thatch etc.   Also it keeps me active which I need right now to help with the anxiety and depression.    I know a mower can be a pain, trust me, I've...

FWIW I only have 2 bedrooms however I have a supply vent in my master bathroom AND the walk in closet. I keep the doors open all year long.   The rest of the layout is "open floor plan" so the living room/dining/kitchen are pretty much all one area.   Bed 2 has 2 return air, master bed has...
