The Edge has the 6F50 transmission, those weren’t so prone to failures like the earlier 6F35. And the 6F35 definitely had issues through 2012 model year Fusions, didn’t matter whether 4 cyl or V6 even though it seems logical that more power would put more strain on the trans. The issue was valve...

Avoid that generation Fusion with the 6F35 transmission like the plague. Vacerator is partially incorrect, the 2010-12 Fusion 2.5 I4 and 3.0 V6 got the 6F35 transmission. The only version to keep the same Aisin that the 06-09 generation 3.0 V6 model had was the 10-12 Fusion Sport with the 3.5...

All the previous models I used were 45-50 pint models. They couldn’t keep up. The 70 pint does a miraculous job OTOH. I used it in the house once just to try it and it pulled the whole house RH down into the 30s within a day, during the summer.

I got a Soleus 70 pint model for the basement at work at Menards which happens to sell them a bit cheaper than Blowes and Home Cheapot. Unlike the past few GE and Maytag branded ones I’ve had in service, this one discharges out the side so as to circulate the air across the long and narrow...

It’s standard practice around here in the Midwest to install a return in each room. Down south it’s standard practice to have one central return in the hallway, primarily to cut costs, reduce amount of ductwork in the hot attic and I suppose a return in each room isn’t as crucial for cooling as...

Supposed to be mid 90s this weekend with the dew point around 80°, we’re under an excessive heat watch due to the humidity. Got family coming in for the week so it’s gonna be fun! Finally some real swimming weather!

I’m interested in one of these for my kitchen to hook up to the RO filter. Right now I’m just chilling my water with ice from the freezer, not the most desirable as the freezer ice tastes faintly like refrigerator. Also toying with the idea of a stand-alone ice maker.

That’s exactly the medium level on my 2015.

The redo puts it to about what it should’ve looked like in the first place. Definitely seems like there were conflicting styles/tastes in the original design.

I just looked up the town where my sister used to live - Durango Colorado, and their water hardness is between 3.74-6.94 gpg. They get it from the Animas River, Florida River, and two different reservoirs. All their water is from snow melt and rain runoff so starts off very soft and picks up...

It’s long gone, something happened to it where it was broken beyond use/not worth fixing. I think it was about $200 when we got it.

I ran a bath towel I used to wipe clay/mud off my shoes that was caked on in a couple spots through my 2015 SQ along with my regular load of colored towels and it came out perfectly clean. Oh and not to mention that towel has lived in my car for two years without ever being washed. When I...

I don’t particularly like the smell of Original Tide as it is now but don’t mind it as the finished product is one of the lighter and least offensive scents to be found these days. The current Mountain Spring aka Old Original, smells just like it always has in the liquid form but I’ve noticed it...

Lake Michigan gives us some of the cleanest tap water to be had. It’s hardness is around 8 gpg which is considered the bottom end of “hard”, but it takes forever for deposits to form on shower heads, around faucets etc. There’s some towns that still use well water and the quality of that is...

We used to have that exact same fountain in the front yard. I think that came from Lowe’s.

I like how they made it look like it’s actually moving clothes in their latest video...

The last month between when company was here for a week and when we started irrigating and filling the pool, water usage was 4,800 gallons. Divided by 3 people then divide that by 30 days that’s 53 gallons per person per day. That’s with two low flow toilets and one 1960s water guzzler...

Gas has been running a little over $3 a gallon for the past several days now. I'm sitting just a hair under 3/4 tank, my car is sucking quite a bit more gas than it has been now that the temperatures have gone up into the 80s-90s. Alot of idling with the A/C on thanks to more trains in the area...

Looks like gas is $2.94 at the moment. My recent driving has been giving me an average of 30 MPG and I filled up for $2.69 last monday.

I was using an iP6 from launch in September 2014 up until last month, just had the battery replaced for $29.99 by Apple under their battery replacement program and now it's like new again. I have an iPad Air I got for christmas in 2013 that I've just now listed for sale due to it finally being...
