Thatwasherguy I'm happy to hear that you have good memories of a GM car with the 3.8 liter V6. I've owned two, both in Buick Regal coupes. One was a little better than the other, but they were both awful. The only good one we've ever encountered is the fuel injected turbo version in our '87...

Thank you, Melvin! I'm sure there's somewhere online, or maybe even on this site, where I could look it up. But, I'd rather ask friends.

Hi all, I'm sorry for still living in the dark ages. But, I'm wondering if someone here would be so kind as to decipher this label for me. It's an ironing board cover that we'd like to wash. Usually, I see the symbols combined with written instructions. This one just has the symbols. Thank you!

Congratulations, Jon! Beautiful Cadillac! Some type of full-size Cadillac was always a bucket list vehicle for me, but I was never able to make it happen. The color combination looks very similar to my first car ever, which was a four door hardtop 1970 Pontiac Bonneville. I also had a 1994 Buick...

Hi Eddie, It's actually not super dirty. It has some coffee staining, and I was hoping to find something that would brighten up the aluminum parts the way that the Cascade brightened up the stainless. Plus, the only way I've ever found cream of tartar is in a tiny little jar that might be two...

That's different! Thank you for posting that. My mom was a switchboard operator in NY, basically fresh out of high school. She said it could be hectic, but she loved it. I wonder if this looks like the equipment that she used. I can't ask her, because she's 92 and nearly blind now.

I hope folks aren't getting tired of these questions. I apologize if you are. I picked up yet another thrift store percolator. I couldn't resist. It's a 30 cup Regal, but the plastic version. Essentially, a huge Poly Perk. I know, some have warned me in the past about hot liquids in vintage...

I was still pretty car crazy at that time, and liked lots of different makes/models. I was particularly fond of GM's "G-bodies". We still have a very dilapidated 1981 Buick Regal coupe that hasn't run in ages, a 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T with WE4 package, and a 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix with the...

Would the dryer have originally had those two screws on the top front edge, or did someone rig something to hold it together? Perhaps having lost original parts or something? I've just never seen that before.

We may be all set now Today, a two man team, including a long time employee who trains techs, came out. There were two issues. Yes, the two zones were reversed. But, as the tech from the other day noted, he couldn't just swap them around, because there was a plumbing issue also. The zone one...

The drama continues. The tech who came yesterday was the same one who, with the help of Bosch support, diagnosed the wiring problem. He installed the new part that had gotten fried as a result of the incorrect wiring. Now, we have heat that we can control from the thermostats. Sort of. They work...

Sean, You made a very important point. If appliances cost more, AND, were built better. I might also add, have factory replacement parts available well into the future.

Petek Glad to hear. We're starting to think maybe we should have gone with a conventional water heater too. But, we have some ridiculous issue with things not venting properly. That's how we ended up with the noisy power vent on the previous system. And, unfortunately, whatever they did on...

Another tech came this afternoon. While on the phone with Bosch, he found a wiring error. He corrected it, but something blew inside the control module. So, that will have to be repaired or replaced now. In the meantime, the heat is off, and we have hot water. Actually, he thinks that what he...

Well, they put a band-aid on it for now. The tech got the heat to stop, and we still have hot water, although it's still inconsistent. The only thing he could tell us was that it wasn't a thermostat problem. They couldn't figure it out without help from Bosch tech support. And, they were gone...

In my frustration over it being so hot in here, I forgot to mention that our hot water is intermittent. It gets hot, but then starts cooling down until it's full cold. Then, gradually, it gets hot again.

Thanks. We’re hoping maybe it’s a wonky thermostat. They did put new ones in both of our zones. But, they’re nothing fancy. Just basic digital Honeywell units. It’s like the boiler isn’t responding to one or both of them. Actually, it seems like the upstairs didn’t keep getting hotter. So, maybe...

Something ain't right Day 1 report: They're going to have to come back. Somehow, the unit is having a mind of its own, and not responding to the thermostat. I like it a little cooler to sleep. So, last night, I set it for 65, and turned in. Through the night, I got up, and it was 75 in the...

The mystery cord sounds suspiciously similar to the safety feature on some Maytag wringers. If I'm not mistaken, you had to step on the bulb at the end of the cable or tube, in order to operate the wringer.

They finished our install today. First impressions: It runs much more quietly than our previous system; which, itself, was quiet. But, it had to be tied into a separate power vent that was suspended from the floor joists. That part was not quiet. Also, it takes longer now for hot water to reach...
