I figured there are no new machines mechanical controls, but one can hope. Does anyone know of a somewhat recent machine that might fit the bill? The last new machine I bought was an all mechanical TL in 2005. It was a Whirlpool. I loved it. Alas, my younger son, three at the time, was...

I'm considering a tankless water heater for the country house. I like the idea of it taking up less space. The rest I'm not sure about. Electric vs gas? If I go with gas, I'll install it during the restoration but keep using the electric tank until we move here permanenty and get natural gas...

Fedders Weather Wheel Like the one that was stolen from my grandparents' house. Preferably 220 and 13,000 BTU or better. Here she is:

Welcome Washgirl! Hi, Whatever interest brought you here, you will likely find more reasons to stay! Sarah

Horrifying carpeted bathrooms We had those here in the US as well. Ugh!

Thanks, y'all He has been doing laundry since elementary school, cares about his clothes and even does some hand washing. I'll pass on your advice and send pictures when he gets there. Sarah

Gorgeous Waring! But I prefer Sunbeam/Osters because the blade assembly screws off. It makes for easy cleaning, you don't have to replace the jar (or stand on your head trying to fix) if it starts to leak. Also, the blade assembly fits a standard mason jar. I use a mason jar to make diet shakes...

My younger son is entering college this fall. He will be living in a dorm and using dorm laundry facilities. What do y'all recommend he use and do to get the best result possible? Thanks, Sarah

Oh, my, pee and bathrooms Yep, even when men don't miss, there is still splatter. I tried to train my crew to put the seat and lid down every time they finish. Everyone, men and women, has to put the lid down. No women who forget to look fall in or end up sitting on the rim. (And for those...

Thanks, John.

Cool. I like the control panel lights. I've never seen them on a P7, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I do hope I can remove the chrome trim without pulling the whole oven out. Sarah

Thanks, all I've taken the door apart before but if I recall correctly, two of the windows are sandwiched together in one unit. I might need to replace that. I'm not sure. And, of course, the manual is always a good idea :-) Sarah

Reviving an old thread Does anyone here still have a Fedders weather wheel lurking around that they would be willing to part with. I'm looking for one with the gold screen. Thanks, Sarah

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a 1960s Fedders weather wheel window air conditioner to replace one that I grew up with at my grandparents' house. It was stolen. Thanks, Sarah

@Mike  The therapy/service dog excuse makes me livid. I had a service dog for about five years. The Americans with Disabilities Act's refusal to create a national service dog ID or certification has done a tremendous disservice to merchants. Merchants are allowed to ask if your animal is a...

Colors Hi Lawrence,   I'm not sure about colors--I've been thinking white, but I've also considered turquoise.   I feel like I really need someone who knows how to take it apart. Even with the holes and slots, I couldn't find any screws or get the drawer assembly to budge. It's obviously...

Hi Y'all,   I'm giving my P7 wall oven a deep cleaning.    How do I remove the glass from the control panel? And what about the windows? I need to take them apart to clean in between. Can this be done? And can I seal them with RTV or another type of sealant to keep them from getting dirt in...

I'm getting my GE Americana refrigerator ready to paint and need help removing the freezer drawer, the refrigerator cabinet doors, trim, hinges, and, if it's manageable, the shell and shelves on the inside of the doors.   So far, I've gotten the chrome trim and gaskets off of the freezer...
