    Here we go again, the mantra of washing laundry in cold water

    In reference to Dan's earlier post about a hint of sourness when removing his dark towels from the washer, I see very little mention of people using ammonia as a deodorizer.     I've included a link to an old AW thread from 2015 where ammonia usage was discussed at length...

    This is what the American Motors headquarters in Detroit looked like in November of 2020. So sad.

    And now we have kitchens of the 1980s

    We have an original Norelco Dial-A-Brew Model HB 5150 from the 1970's that still makes some of the best & hottest coffee ever.

    Tankless water heater yes/no

    Go for gas! We have a 40-gallon Ruud Power Vent model that was installed in July of 1998, and it's still going strong. Granted this is only a 2-person household, but still. We've only run out of hot water twice, and both times it was because of me. Each time I decided to do a load of laundry...

    Event Barns

    These are quickly becoming a thing in my area as families decide to stop farming, but still want to keep their farm buildings functional and profitable.     A friend of mine who has a band is playing for a wedding at one this evening.  It looks to be a very nice venue with handicap...

    Cant get smell out of new Dickies

    Wash with detergent and ammonia & line dry, if possible.  Turn them inside out before washing to prevent fading, if desired.

    Best Buy Launches Appliance & Tech Haul Away Service

    With maybe one or two exceptions, all of the appliance dealers in my area haul away the old appliance(s) after the new one is installed.  And at no extra charge, although I'm sure it's already been figured into the price.

    First line dried laundry of 2022

    Greg, I used Sears orange box detergent.  I'm completely out of Wausau detergent at the moment.  I need to restock ASAP.  W<span style="font-family: inherit; color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem; background-color: var(--comment-background); font-weight: 400;">e bought the clothesline...

    First line dried laundry of 2022

    It was 30°F with the windchill in the teens yesterday and 20-30 mph winds, but I did manage to at least line dry our bedsheets.  They smelled so heavenly when I got into bed last night. Everything looks quite wind whipped because of the strong gusts we had all day.

    POD 3/21/22

    I'm curious if anyone in this group has either the wringer machine or the semi-automatic shown in the ad.  I'm guessing they're pretty rare birds.  If you do, could you please tell us about their performance?

    The Sunbeam Radiant

    At the group home I work at we have a year old Oster 4 slice toaster that works fairly well.  Yesterday for lunch I served open face tuna sandwiches on toast.  It took FOREVER to toast the bread, and it was more dried out than toasted.  I was longing for our Sunbeam T20B.  I could have made 4...

    They're here! 1967 Speed Queen set

    I'm amazed that Speed Queen still had a solid tub at the time these were made.  Gotta love how a WI company stuck with what was tried and true technology.   I still say Vivian has the cleanest clothes in Cedar Falls!

    (Older) prefab homes

    My cousin and her husband purchased a Stratford Home in 1978.  In fact, the home was delivered the day of our Uncle Elmer's funeral, Oct. 25, 1978.   The company has been in business since 1973 in Stratford, WI.  They also have a satellite factory in Rathdrum, ID.   Stratford Homes - Custom...

    Vintage refrigerator/freezer appraisal

    If they're both working as good as you say then there would be no need to replace the current compressors with more "efficient" modern ones.  It will still take the same amount of electricity to cool those spaces.  Replacing a compressor is also kind of a PITA.
