    Why Pay $6K for a Radarange, When You Can Get One for Only $2K????

    It's only worth what somones willing to pay so good luck with that. I have no clue if those command that kind of price now but they were the first or one of the first brands making them. Might just be fishing for a uninformed sucker. Could do a search for completed auctions with that microwave...

    What vacuum cleaner do you have?

    I'm on the vac site and our main machine us a Starks/Royal 4650, also have a 413 power tank, a Oreck XL portable type 3, and a new Rowenta 18 volt Delta Force stick vac that will run 30-40 minutes on low speed and has a power head. I think there's another Oreck or something mom gave us we've...

    Move-in ready if your name is "Porky"

    Makes all the crapholes we looked at just as the market tanked in summer of 12 look like clean move in ready houses. None I looked at were over 130k and the one I finally bought was 115900 with almost everything redone or new. The market there is insane and I'm glad I bought when I did and no...

    White Bread

    We have a excellent old Zojorushi bread maker, but mostly buy Country Oven and 12 grain and it must be locally made and low or no preservatives as we're lucky if it lasts a week, sometimes less. I guess the bread maker is a plan ahead thing and its hard to find a recipe we both like so don't use...

    What kind of kitchen ventilation do you like???

    Our manufactured home has a recirculating fan, so did our old rental, hate them, just sorta loops the air around and house smells like whatever is cooking. Luckily the range is on a outside wall so may do a through the wall setup or one through the roof if I ever get over not wanting to punch...

    1950 Plymouth

    My 42 Jeep used to do that in second gear but it was a 3 speed top loader like all ww2 and flat fender jeeps. There was a bushing or something, maybe a syncro, that always wore out on them. I had a better used tranny put in it and they swapped around the best parts and less then a year later it...

    Nutone exhaust fan motor replacement

    I tore down the old fan in my rental bathroom a bunch of times, clean and lube up and it would run fast and like new again. I have done similar for the small computer fans. Most have a plastic plug over the back where the hearing is and some good synthetic oil will bring even a locked up one...

    Preferred Laundry Room Location: Main Floor or Basement?

    I'd like basement if I had one like said in case of disaster. Old rental when we moved went to move the washer and the floor was dry rotted and there was a big hole the mice had been working on. They would come in when the seasons changed and we'd battle them. It had laundry in the bathroom...

    Buying a home

    My sidewalk was added when they rehabbed this house. They force anyone adding or fixing a old house to add them if there were none before the work. My neighborhood is in a slightly depressed area so houses here tend to be cheaper and the flippers keep buying up the bigger lots that had nice...

    Thoughts on the Goodman GMSS96060 furnace

    Well my house has PEX pipes and one of them was leaking at the 90 in the wall that feeds the washer. Found it early when I was under the house in the crawl space looking for a bad cable wire. The whole floor has insulation inside a plastic liner with the pipes and heat ducts inside it so if...

    Buying a home

    Sidewalks/ water Portland pulls that sidewalk crap too. Where I work somebody complained about one of them close by so they came around and tagged everyone. Same deal, either pay us to do it, or get your own contractor as long as it passes inspection. Portland is a very greedy city and tries to...

    Buying a home

    If your budget is small consider a newer manufactured or modular home on its own lot. We got a 96 good sense manufactured home that is 1400sf and was all rehabbed with a new kitchen, floors, windows, roof, siding, paint and 4br with two baths, paid 115900 on a FHA loan that also includes...

    Thoughts on the Goodman GMSS96060 furnace

    manufactured homes My house is a manufactured and a good sense home so it has pretty good insulation. The electric panel actually has the rvalues of all the wall, ceiling, and floors. They also put builder grade Alpine windows in here during the rehab and they have a lifetime warranty and keep...

    Remember the Windows 10 Spying Debacle?

    Built a new box and decided to plop win 10 64 Pro on it. Seems OK to me so far, turned off most of the extra crap, layout is different but some of it actually makes sense once you get used to it. Main issue I have right now is the video driver crashing and resetting itself but there are registry...

    Showers and bathtubs in the U.S.

    Our water here is very spendy so I haven't messed with the water restricters, though my bathroom was given a really bad shower head. I turn it up enough to get a good flow then tweak the temp till I'm happy. Both the bathrooms have cheap manufactured home combo tub shower fiberglass things. Mine...

    Thoughts on the Goodman GMSS96060 furnace

    If we get a more efficient setup maybe we'll up the temp during the day but trying to keep as much of are very hard earned money as we can. When mom and step dad come over we crank it up, he's got all kinds of problems and is cold all the time. I kinda like being very cool at night as hate...

    The Appliance undertaker making his rounds...

    Both my old ones went to get rebuilt and sold. A semi pro washer repair guy snapped up my Whirlpool 90 dd, and I gave the dryer to my mom but she freaked because it got water in it. Lil sister took her to a used/rebuilt washer shop and they sold her a refurbed dryer that matched her Whirlpool...

    Thoughts on the Goodman GMSS96060 furnace

    We set our smart stat at 66 during the day too, blankets and sweaters are cheap, and we have heated small blankets for our favorite chairs and pretty sure I have one for my bed I never use. I have a bunch of the old od green arny wool blankets for my bed and to protect the furniture from the...

    Moved to a new place

    All the appliances, and the cabinets were new when I moved in here, even have the manuals for all of them so in 10 years the cabinet styles and layout hasn't changed much. I'll stick with them for now, the stove is much nicer then the old bol Whirlpool in my old rental. Would be nice to get a...
