Mice, rats and other rodents. I am all about the warfarin based poison, bait. If you don't have open water sources in the house (close those toilet lids, etc.) most will go outside to die. The warfarin destroys their blood clotting ability, they become dehydrated and extremely thirsty. Either...

Sooo If the clothes are sopping wet after the spin cycle how on earth does the dry cycle dry them? I did the wash and dry cycles when I test drove it, and the clothes came out nicely dry. Does it take enough electricity to supply a small African nation every time one runs the full wash & dry...

the curb Problem solved. Apparently my friend's client's wife decided honey hadn't done, put the old one on the curb where it was immediately picked up by scrappers and bought a new one. I've gotta say, I admire her decisiveness. Sarah

Hi All, I'm down in the country working on the house. My plan is to install the GE combo John fixed for me in the kitchen and have a stacked washer/dryer unit in the bathroom for the main laundry center. I have an old Frigidaire Gallery stacked machine I've been planning to use, but it's...

And there's more! I came down Friday night and started dragging the cabinets around the kitchen again, and I am starting to see it. I thought I was done after the specialty cabinets in Tennessee, then, I had a new idea and wanted two more. Does it ever end? Good news is that I've already...

Wow! Keith, you have quite the memory. I remember when the black & white vitreous tile was on the counters adjacent to the sink. The all of the ground was gone from the tile on the left side of the sink, and the cracks were filled with kind of a black goo--sort of like toe jam. My grandmother...

Thanks! It was room temperature, and I let it sit several hours. It's working fine. Sarah

That's what I've heard too I was hoping someone here would say it didn't need to be off for that long. I've already plugged in, so I guess I'll see what happens. I would never take such a risk with a valuable fridge, especially not a vintage one. Sarah

Hi Y'all, How long to I need to wait to plug in a dorm size refrigerator after moving? I moved it earlier this afternoon. The move across the house was less than 10 minutes most of those minutes. The other involved me trying and eventually succeeding getting it up on the counter where I want...

Thanks I will pass on the info. Hopefully, it will help. Do you have any advice for trouble shooting to find out which switch is bad? Sarah

Several things My husband Bruce makes basic, old fashioned lye soap, and it washes away pretty quickly no matter how long it has aged, but it is wonderful, so mild that I feel fine about washing my face with it.

Hi Y'all, My honor is riding on this one. My friend says he's looked on the web and contacted the manufacturer, and this switch simply is not available. With a swagger and far more confidence than was perhaps reasonable, I said, "I bet I can find the part..." So help, y'all, I'd rather not...

I love the look of the vintage dishwashers but love the way my new Bosch cleans like a boss. My Bosch has the third rack for the silverware... I need advice, suggestions and ideas. Thanks, Sarah

Parts I once bought this same range in white at an auction for $15 just for the sunburst broiler pan. I left the range at the auction house, and the auctioneer sold it for $15 so I could break even. I still love the pan. Sarah

ISO Mixmaster Model 12 Badge/Turquoise Bowls Drift about says it all. I accidentally sold a badge I had listed on eBay twice. The second buyer got the badge from my daily driver, a 12C. Turquoise bowls. I had a pair I used with the 12C. They looked spectacular until they had a disastrous...

And another thing... Since I checked in last, I've found three more GE cabinettes in St. Louis. That means I will have a turquoise cabinette under the the wall fridge, two white cabinettes that meet in the corner of the sink and cooktop walls, and another white cabinette on the wall...

Specialty cabinets. Holy Smokes! All my dreams come true A seller in Kingsport, TN listed a kitchen full of gorgeous Geneva cabinets on FB Marketplace, and I found the listing 22 minutes after she posted. She sold me the mixer cabinet, the open round shelves for the end of the peninsula, the...

#51 Thomas Tell me about the holy grail of faucets...I haven't decided what to get yet Sarah

Memories... Of the years it was just my mother and me. Shabby apartments and shabbier laundry mats. One was next to a bait shop, and I would go watch the minnows while she did the laundry. Sarah

Disposers...again My current home is the first one that's had a disposer, and we don't use it because our line is cracked under the slab and using the disposer seems to clog it up more often. So, I basically don't use it. I hadn't planned one for the country house because I thought it would...
