If you don't mind taking your fridge to Fort Wayne, my friends at Home Appliance could repair it for you. They are family owned and operated since 1966. Ask for Gordon...

Fear of natural gas. I used to hear stories of people having accidents with the old gas stoves. My grandfather (born in 1905) told me a story of an old maid aunt of his, turning on the oven, and not lighting it right away. She bent down and struck the match, and ended up singeing her eyebrows...

I own a rental property, and when I purchased the house in 2008, it only had a hook up for a gas range. We remodeled the house, and installed a 220 electric outlet for an electric range. I furnish all the appliances for the home. I would NEVER install a gas range in a rental. I do love gas...

I think, the issue has been dropped, except for the one person who is trying to start it up again. Just saying...

Great save on a rare model Ben! Congrats!!

Continuously Filthy Oven I have a friend that had one of these, back in the day. It was a Kenmore drop in, avocado. It was horrible! The heat would fluctuate 50 degrees, either way, and the oven was gross. You could not clean it either. We used to call it: The Kenmore Continuously Filthy Oven...

Purchase an old Rival Crock Pot at the thrift stores, or on eBay. Make sure it is from the 1970's, or at the latest, 1980's. You can tell by the colour, what era you are looking at. True, the old ones did not hold as much, however, you can purchase two vintage ones for what you will pay for one...

I love the "What's My Line" show so much. What I like best about them, is the fact that you can see these famous (and some not so famous) people of long ago, and they are not acting a "part" So you can see them for who they are, to a certain degree. This shaver is very cool! It has the 1950's...

By Remington..... I have never used an electric shaver, always have used disposable. At any rate, I have been watching the old reruns of What's My Line tv shows from the 1950's on YouTube and Remington sponsored some of the shows back then. This model Remington was shown at some point during...

O'Daniel Ford, in Fort Wayne. I have a friend that works there. He has painted cars, and appliances for me. We have been friends for 35 years.

Yes, it certainly does look great! That will be so beautiful, when it is reassembled. (and that is the way to do it, right!)

. Thank you for the nice comments! This cabinet was only painted yesterday morning. My friend, Tim brought that parts over to my house this morning. It is all down the basement now. I am going to wait a week or so for the paint to harden, before putting this all back together. This machine is...

Ralph, I have a live trap that I use when I start seeing property damage from raccoons and groundhogs, once again. I bait the trap with peanut butter spread onto a Ritz cracker. I put the bait in the base of a plastic cottage cheese, (or whatever) container. Gets the raccoons every time. I will...

That gasket was still made as of 15 years ago. Check around, my appliance store ordered one in back then, for my 1948 GE, which is the same gasket as yours.

As far as I am concerned, a squirrel is a rat rat with a fluffy tail. I hate them. As we speak, I am having work done on the latticework on my deck Groundhogs have chewed though the wood, and are burrowing under the deck. The workers pouring concrete footer under the perimeter of the deck, and...

It only took 14 years..... To go from this, to this. It is a cabinet from a 1958 Norge Timeline, that was rescued from a junkyard after 40 years. Kenny and I pulled this out of an abandon junkyard in the spring of 2006. (how much the world has changed since then.....) The washer took 2 other...

Keeping bedding fresh, and white I always use Foca detergent, and plenty of ammonia with whites. Bedding is laundered weekly. We shower every morning, and sometimes in summer take a second shower, if working outside. No problem with dingy sheets here. When sheets, and pillowcases are worn out...

Thinning oil base paint Hi Stan! I did not measure or anything. I simply added the acetone to the paint, while it was in the roller pan, to the desired consistency. The label on the can states not to thin over 5% so I was nowhere near that. One thing is, the acetone evaporates very quickly in...

Thanks guys! I am very satisfied with the way this refrigerator turned out. Never thought painting with a roller could look so good. Kenny, I always remove the doors and racks before moving a heavy old fridge. Anything to help lighten the weight. Surprisingly, the Hotpoint did not seem as...
