Thanks, Tim, but the auto parts stores are selling the light alone for upwards of $75 without the spoiler!   John- didn't know about them! I now have a few local places to call tomorrow- thanks!   Chuck

Hey all,   I've been having trouble locating the above part (used) except on eBay for almost $130. Does anyone have any suggestions for other places to search? The local salvage yard no longer sells used parts (what?????).   I've found a couple on eBay for almost $130 but that seems high...

We've been using an electric kettle (vintage GE) for years and I'd never be without one; it's the civilized way to make one's tea! LOL!  The kettle stays on the counter as I have a travel mug of tea every morning once the weather turns cold, and continue until I sub it for iced tea in the warmer...

Great color, Lawrence! The minute I saw it I was reminded of our NIP Louverette sponge that I walk by every day (see pic).   If you ever have an issue with the floor, Armstrong has 12 x 12 VCT tile that can be gotten in many different colors. When we first had our downstairs kitchen floor done...

We have a few of the bag units and a Blizzard bagless. The older bag unit that Rich rescued from the put-n-take at the tip had a motor replaced about 7-8 years ago. He says that one has the best suction of all of them. We have another freebie that is great, but the hold-down for the tool cover...

Rich's parents had a vent-away in their guest bath, and it was working well from when they built the house (aprox. 1970) until the day they moved about 10 years ago. Hopefully that helps to point toward just a cleaning. Our water here is very clean.   Chuck

I too generally make my own, but lately I've been cheating by starting with 1/2 a bottle (the squirt bottle I use to apply the sauce) of store-bought, usually SBR's or Kraft, then doctor it with vinegar, molasses, garlic, etc..  Shake it all up, squirt on, and brush. I prefer 2 thin applications...

I miss the Sears "free" version of the Ultra Plus.   Chuck   p.s. John.... me too! Not so much that I squeeze a buffalo nickel 'till it poops pennies, but.......

The oil stays floating on top of the water I snicker when people add oil to supposedly keep the pasta from sticking together for this very reason... it floats and probably 95% of it slides off the top when you dump the pasta into a colander! If you use tongs to lift the pasta out of the water...

I forgot about this thread!   So, the air fryer gets permanent space on the countertop, where space is kind of at a premium. I did wings without tossing them in oil like the instructions said and they were very good! Chicken thighs several times, roasted potatoes, Trader Joe's Mandarin Chicken...

after a week or so they develop a foul "cheese/ vomit&# Interesting! I typically hang my clothes in the boiler room after drying them and putting them on hangers. Rich noticed a kind of "old" smell to the clothes when I'd wear them- like the heat of my body was activating it- we attributed it...

IMHO, if you can't go the, what, 10 minutes or less it takes to take a shower without sipping coffee, beer, etc., you may want to seek substance dependency assistance. Not saying you don't take one in there and sip as you finish your other duties (shaving et al) but needing a cup holder IN the...

Dollar Tree "Sun" powder in our TOL Miele (as well as the pro Miele) does a great job and not noticeably less than the Miele Ultra Tabs. Just sayin'.   Chuck

why you are tarring everyone with a broad statement I agree that such merchandise is truly silly and about as necessary as t*ts on a bull or b*lls on a heifer! A shower lasts but a few minutes, so unless one is hopelessly alcohol-dependent, or is engaging in aqua gymnastics with another, in...

Hey Eddie,   That pie with meringue could have tasted like crap-in-a-crust (not that it would!!!!!), but the memory would make it sweet as candy!!   Hug, Chuck

Pushmatic circa 1965 all breakers are NLA Matt,   Our main panels are Pushmatic as well. Originally I was only able to get them at a mom and pop operation, Webster Electric, about 45 minutes away, but have found them on eBay in the last few years. An electrician friend of mine has checked the...

@Henrik Amen! How do you like the G7? I saw a sample of it maybe 1.5 years ago before it was launched in the US. I (and others) thought the plastic racks abominable and a real step down in perceived quality for the brand. I believe the one we were viewing was a production model but can't be...

And last gen is 15y ago. Henrik,   The "Gen 6" dishwashers (previous generation to the new G7xxx) came out in about 2013, didn't they? At least over here. Before that, it was the 2000 series. The 4xxx were kind of a cross-over but considered the low-end Gen 6 models.   You are spot on with...

What do you think Hi Jerrod,   There are a LOT of bells and whistles on that machine that most people, myself included, would never use. Had it not been for getting it for $300 because it was "used," I wouldn't own it. It's not worth +/- $2600 to me. It killed me to get rid of the Miele G863...

wouldn't there be no or decreased power AFAIK, this is absolutely correct. If you've traced power to the machine and through the interference suppressor, it shouldn't be that component. I don't know if one could be intermittently failing, but I wouldn't think so.   The pop noise and...
