People reported a funnel cloud about 25 miles SE of here and fences ripped out/trees down. No confirmation whether it was a tornado or not. Edit: It’s official, we had a tornado on Thursday. [this post was last edited: 3/16/2019-12:59]...

My drip brewer is a Bunn VP-17 commercial brewer. Almost impossible to screw up coffee in that, always comes out good (provided you put something good in it). I have a shelf full of brewers and that’s my go-to.

I got 20 minutes into that before realizing it. Love watching her.

Did you ask the local dealer if they’re willing to price match? The ones around here are always willing to match the lowest price, especially if it’s a big box store.

I think the tub is the same size in the LWN as the AWNE, I think they used to round it up to 3.3 when it wasn’t actually that large. Or they changed it, I’m not sure but I doubt the latter. With that said, the agitator does a really good job at turnover even when it’s slightly overloaded. I can...

I think swapping the control panel should be pretty easy. I've had the control panel opened on mine and it's just two screws, then you'd just need to swap the wires/harness over to the new panel. I think that should be all there is to it.    Go to reply #18 to see what the inside of the panel...

If you're dedicated to getting a SQ that is NOT the 2018- model, I would try getting the LWN model and consider swapping the control panel for the residential one (if you need a WL control). Otherwise I would consider the Maytag Commercial washer, my aunt has one and it does a pretty good job...

My brother just found bedbugs in his bed recently after trying a new gym... He did all the stuff mentioned above and kept finding one here and there so he called an exterminator and they used a neonicotinoid to treat the room which is like a synthetic nicotine. He said he hasn't seen any bed...

Good luck converting an old house to forced air. Unless you’ve gone through replacing every window, adding insulation and sealing every crack and crevice to the outside, you’ll probably end up regretting converting to forced air. ESPECIALLY if it’s oversized, you’ll be sweating and freezing all...

There were maybe a dozen or so 1A switches that were in service in Chicago up until just after 2010-11 and they got replaced with Siemens EWSD switches. I would venture a guess and say yours could have too, though I'm still gonna guess yours was replaced with a DMS100 and was done a bit earlier...

Over fiber you can still get traditional POTS or you can get Uverse VoIP. Since you say you have a separate bill and can use a rotary phone, you probably have POTS over that fiber, which is exactly the same as a copper POTS line except for the fact that it's coming in over the fiber and being...

It was 51º and rainy/misty yesterday with low fog rolling across the ground from the snow melting. Today it's 38º and cloudy with possible freezing rain this evening. 

My local CO has Siemens EWSD switches. Back when we still had POTS, call drops etc were very rare but once or twice a few random things happened. One time I was talking to someone who was on POTS out of the same CO and the call just went to dead air. I hung up and dialed the number again and it...

Made it to -21°F this morning around 7 AM. Winds sustained around 20 MPH gusting to 40 MPH. Two gas furnaces here, the downstairs has been set to 72 and started not keeping up around 2 AM and the house had dropped to 69 by 8 AM. Power flashed off 3 times overnight and lots of strange noises...

Almost every Cree bulb I've bought has failed some way or another. The worst offenders are some candelabra style bulbs I got for the island pendants, they tend to only last around a year. I made a warranty claim with Cree and they just sent me a whole case of them which surprised me at the time...

Not surprised at the direction Lowes is headed, they've failed to compete on price for years now and their selection has dwindled. I don't think Kenmore would be a good fit for them, I'm not quite sure who would be, maybe a manufacturer itself. 

hear a very loud, hollow, low pitched sort of hissing/roar Sounds like the sound of a long distance call setup over microwave relay to me! I’ve listened to many Evan Doorbell recordings and the sounds of the telephone system in those days was nothing short of fascinating, and you could figure...

Jesse Thanks for the offer! I already got one though. 

I’ve never had suds issues with ours, maybe you have really soft water or a water softener? That’ll certainly cause you to need to cut down on detergent dosage by a good amount. Premature wear hasn’t been an issue and I was worried it would be coming from a front loader, but it’s been almost 4...

Driving in Chicago If you can drive around Chicago you can drive anywhere. When I went to the NYC area the first time I was worried it would be even worse than Chicago but turned out it was actually a little bit more civilized despite the amount of people on the road, and the crazy roads in...
