Went to visit hubby's parents yesterday and one of them casually mentions their late 90s Maytag washer was too far gone to fix (due to nothing but cold washes and the cheapest detergent more than likely) so they bought a new one. Fully expecting one of the new top load non washers to be named as...

Saw that ad for the nutone vent hood a little too late 😕 ordered our Vent-A-Hood for our cooktop a few weeks ago. The original SS 42" with external motor was long gone. And I should have known, it was taking weeks to get in, there was a reason, I ordered the 9" deep version. I needed the 6"...

So I (re)found this washer dryer set in the barn for the apartment at my parents place (it's complicated) 😋 and after I scrubbed the muddy paw prints and other detritus off of it, I ran a load of work clothes in it and fell in love with it! It works really well, I didn't think it would be so...

So I was at Sears checking out the new Maytag FL washers and saw an 18" dishwasher. It was portable, idk if they make a per ant mount. I didn't get a pic but it was cool. Would be the perfect size for us.

So finally got a chance to stop in Morris Maytag in Lake Charles today and inquire about a pair of Speed Queen FL. $3000! Yikes. I made the decision that that's what I was going to get but, it may be a while now. The problem is the 1990 BOL Whirlpool we have is destroying my clothes! The spiral...

My friend found this today in sulphur la. $150 for everything. Fab.

So we go to a church house built around 1890s down in south Texas last weekend.. Electrolux been around a long time! ;)

So ordered a 5 lb bag on amazon of tri sodium poly phosphate ( I hope I'm not twisting the order again!) so tried out a teaspoon in the sink and it was amazing, it made the water so soft even without soap it felt really slick. There were a few small clumps in the bottom, it looked like some of...

Saw this at this great resale store today, concept of goodwill but way better. Anyway, I thought the angles and styling was interesting. Like they really tried and went all out with specific knobs etc instead of standards.

Used my friends very vintage and very capable floor scrubber today on the kitchen floor. Very nasty grime lifted up. Way easier than hand scrubbing!

I've been trying my hand at home made laundry soap lately. Has anyone else tried it? It's the standard recipe I found on the intraweb.. Grated Fels naphtha soap bar, I use my cylindrical cheese grater, Borax and washing soda. I put the Fels naphtha in the fridge to make it easier to grate. So...

Here are a few pics of my friends house, it was designed by the same architect as our house at the same time but was done on a wealthy dentist's budget ;) Every detail in the house was top of he line.

Hi all, long time listener, first time caller. My partner and I are about to take custodial/ownership of a fantastic mid century mod, buying directly from the architect! Well, architects starting out weren't always the wealthiest home builders and our laundry room is pretty tight. It was made...
