My property has several structures. I'm currently focusing on the main house, a workshop and a small brick cottage.    The main house has asbestos fiber cement shingles from the 1930s. The roofing on two porches was replaced with asphalt shingles decades ago. I have recently had the porches...

Howdy everyone,   It's been a while since I posted an update. I know it's going to get better, but right now the house seems to be at it's worst in all the years I've been working on it. I think the contractors are, perhaps, moving a bit slowing with the lack of daily supervision. Some of the...

Which one should I choose for my vintage kitchen in the country house?    I love the look of the KA and hear they are great, but I have a high end Bosch and love the performance. DH loves the quiet of the Bosch.   I'm starting to worry about my vintage appliances, particularly finding...

Hi Everyone, What do you think about Procter & Gamble's new EC30 carbon neutral product line? If you haven't heard about it, please check it out. You all have much more knowledge and experience with what ingredients work best. Are the laundry swatches detergent or soap? I've been using...

I'm considering a tankless water heater for the country house. I like the idea of it taking up less space. The rest I'm not sure about. Electric vs gas? If I go with gas, I'll install it during the restoration but keep using the electric tank until we move here permanenty and get natural gas...

Hi Y'all,   I'm giving my P7 wall oven a deep cleaning.    How do I remove the glass from the control panel? And what about the windows? I need to take them apart to clean in between. Can this be done? And can I seal them with RTV or another type of sealant to keep them from getting dirt in...

A conversation with our sons about Formula One and Nascar racing led to memories of go-karts. I had two. I first thought of the AMC Pacer gas powered car that I had when I was about nine. I remember my grandmother, at my insistence I'm sure, driving it to the end of our street and back. She was...
