After remodeling the bathroom the new mixing valve for the shower seemed to have cut the water pressure as well as preventing scalding. I had a Water Pik and that one had a decent stream, but was getting clogged up with calcium. Then got a Moen handheld, but that one being low flow, coupled with...

Seeing if anybody else is having problems with their Samsung FL washer leaking water from the bottom of the dispenser drawer. I've cleaned the drawer so it sits flush in the machine, so no build ups of detergent or softener. What I've noticed when the washer first starts to fill, it is ok, no...

I was born in Phoenix, Arizona and follow a website and on Facebook called ModernPhoenix.net. Modern Phoenix posted a link to a brochure for Parade of Homes for Tucson, 1956, and thought I'd share the link here. It's from the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation. Continue to the end of the...

A kitchen remodel is coming up in the near future so wanted to start looking at a new stove. Currently have a 30 inch GE Profile from around 1994 that is slide in unit. It has done well, but recently the oven stopped working. Still have use of the broiler part and as the remodel is still several...

The title of the post will give it away but I'm thinking I might need a new water heater soon. This "was" the anode.

Hopefully got the right forum for this. For those of you that sew and perhaps have thought of trying to make a shirt one of the blogs I follow is starting a shirt sew along. I've listed the link below. You can back track a few days to get caught up. It won't be starting until February 1st and...

So anybody have any home/store type remedies regarding moths eating your clothes? I bought a new suit from Penny's last February. I kept it in the bag and then wore it just briefly once over the Summer, then back in the bag it went. Took it out last week and it was full of holes. Luckily I got...

From time to time there has been discussions on Borax on the boards here. A couple of weeks ago had to make a quick trip to the San Francisco area. While driving back I took a quick shot of this and almost missed the sign. It's on the turn off near Boron California.

Recently there was a thread on towels. I like the big bath sheet type towels. Almost 10 years ago I received 7 Ralph Lauren ones for Christmas. Finally they started to wear along the edges. Of course no self respecting housewife would put these out on the line to dry. What would the neighbors...

Saw a blurb on Lileks.com about this site, link is below, for Duke University Commercial Archives. Some may already be on Youtube or not sure if already shared with the group. Got a kick out of the Hoover polisher and Tide loaded into all new AMC washers. Gotta get me some of those glasses! The...

And a happy birthday to me! In the prior couple of sewing threads I had mentioned the possibility of a new machine and the birthday fairy came through. A new Babylock Esante. I can finally do larger embroideries and am no longer limited to the 4x4 size. If you look close at the picture, the...

Has anybody else played this? At 54 I got a Wii from the dogs for Christmas. My first video game. I must say I really like the thing and enjoy the part where you have to get up and move, like the bowling and tennis. I really hate exercise, but this thing may just be the ticket to start. So...

Was watching this weeks "Dirty Jobs" and Mike goes to a business where they use dirt to dye the shirts. The show repeats so if you like the clip, catch the whole episode. They did have a little more on the machines. http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/dirty-jobs-the-anti-clean.html

As I've mentioned before, the bank I worked at was taken over by the FDIC in August this year. Unlike a lot of other institutions, there was nobody to take us over. Good news is I'm still working, paying the bills for the receivership. Thought I'd throw this out there if anybody is looking for...

It has been months in the planning on my end, not including the FDIC taking over the bank I work at. Not to worry, so far they still need someone to pay the bills and that's what I do, accounts payable. Got "Karen" road ready, I hope, my 1997 Mercedes C280 and at the end of October I'm driving...

Who knew? Heard about this on the radio this morning. Also has Mary Wickes. There are three parts to this. Shame it didn't make it onto TV. The bit I've listened to will give a few good lines.

Here comes Susie Snowflake, with a vengence! I know those that live in four seasons will get a chuckle but this type of snow here is unusual. This weather system started on Monday, had flurries most of the day, but it was a bit too warm and didn't stick. Yesterday cloudy and cold and today we...

Romance, rebelion and household appliances. One of those odd things I recalled seeing years ago on Nick at Nite when they used to run really good reruns. And here it is on Youtube. The link is to Part 1, there are two parts. May the farce be with you. And watch out for those Westinghouse...

Was curious if any of the group has any of these 2.1 surround sound systems. Bose has a system of just two smaller speakers and a sub woofer that will simulate 5.1 Dolby surround without the need of running wires for the rear speakers. It's running around $900.00. Yamaha has a rather interesting...

Ok, so Samsung calls it Tango Red. After several months of keeping my fingers crossed and hoping the tub wouldn't come flying out of the Frigidaire FL, we bit the bullet on the Samsung VRT washer/drier and pedestals. The Bosch 500s were a very close second, but the red and chrome caught the...
