A friend of mine had insulation blown in from the outside of his house, which was built in the 30's. Horsehair plaster over slats. About 5 years later he was replacing windows and when he took out the old ones there was no blown insulation around the window opening anywhere we could see. He...

I thought I had picked up a box of concentrated Tide which I don't think there is that version. My normal dosage seemed to be way too much. Maybe a half a cup in a top loader, 10lb version. Down to about a 1/3 cup per load now and the suds are more controlled. Still doing double rinsing to make...

I use Easy off no scent to clean the window and door on my sc oven. It has never cleaned those well enough. I also use it on my rotisserie oven and my toaster ovens, makes them look like new. Spray it on leave it over night and cleans right off the next morning with paper towels and just rinse...

What I don't do is keep my cell phone on me at all times in the house. When it rings I am not usually near it and have to go searching for the phone. With the land lines we used to have phones all over the house and would just pick up the closest one. I feel I have gone backwards in time to when...

Get an electrician in pronto! If your power is being interrupted only on certain circuits and then it comes back on later your having a grounding out issue. I had this problem in an old house and what was found that at one point I had a squirrel in my attic that chewed through the wire...

Have a hair salon and we use Arm and Hammer laundry detergent. Towels are really not dirty just used on hair and a wipe up around the sinks and stations. They come out clean and fresh. Use only 1 rinse in a top loader and no suds left remaining. So they rinse clean easily. I see no problem with...

I don't understand why so many don't like keyless starting. I have had it on vehicles for over 7 years now and love it. The fob just stays in my pocket all the time. Lock, unlock the doors, plus rear hatch door opens. Push a button it starts, push same button it shuts off. How simple is that...

Easy Off no scent. Spray it on in the evening in a cold oven. Close the door and the next morning wife off with paper towels and then just a wipe over with some dish detergent and water. No smell no mess. Works great. Jon

Just me and my wife for Thanksgiving. Did a turkey breast, just enough for or meals and hot open faced turkey sandwiches with stuffing today, then make soup after I strip the meat off. If you are alone or just two people you can still have turkey without all the leftovers. I have purchased whole...

Heard on the local news last night, that we have a local distribution center less than 4 miles from where I live in Boston. They have over a 1,000 people working there processing filling and sending out orders. They are saying that if you order before noon time on any given week day, you will...

My take on this is, that in the 70's and 80's in the United States we had machines that were taking on 18-20lbs. of laundry in one load in top loaders. The majority of homes in the US also have a large abundance of hot water waiting to be used. So the need for heaters in machines was largely...

I have ordered off of Amazon a number of times and have been very happy. Yes sometimes, actually all times prices are higher than general but the have the stuff and you get it quick. Something I have done is look at Amazon for certain products get the manufacturer name then look up that...

Here is a thought. Since your always cold in bed and seem to need 86 degrees to sleep, which I would not be able to sleep at that temperature. I might suggest that before you go to bed about 1/2 hour try eating a large meal or something hot to ingest like a large bowl of soup or stew. This...

Again, I always love watching your videos. Amazing to see such an old unit brought back to life by you. Most people would have kicked it to the curb as trash. Something this old is still able to run properly with your knowledge, is incredible. Also a testament to how things were made back in...

Found the problem I noticed after posting this that other sites all of a sudden were doing the same thing. I did a complete look at my operating system and I found an error on the wireless platform. It somehow was half shutting my internet connection and then after a while it would shut itself...

The past couple of days I have been having quite some delays in reading and navigating through posts. This just started this week I believe. I am trying to figure out if its my computer or the site is possibly overloaded at the time that I am on which is usually 6am to about 7:30 am. Any one...

Have you taken a look at Autozone or PepBoys? They have a selections of mats available for specific makes and models also. Jon

In reply #50 with the gold Cadillac, brought back a flood of memories for me. My uncle was a bookie and ran different "pools" at the shoe factory where he "worked" Fridays was a collection day for him. I had been riding with him for a couple of years during these times. I went with him to pick...

Didn't some of these have the water temps for wash built into the timers? Depending where you started it, was the temp selection, then all rinses were cold. Jon

New ones still available I bought a new 6 disc remote control Onkyo cd player last month at Best Buy. One of the only ones I found available. I had a 5 disc Sony but it was getting up in age and the plastics inside were becoming brittle and breaking by themselves on usage. Door would stay...
