    WHAT would YOU do?

    I'm thinking about having my electric meter moved out to the pole in my side yard, where the wires come down to go underground. I just know it will be expensive.

    You sound like the little boy in the 1955 song "Nuttin' for Christmas"!

    Vintage Appliance Advertisements: Part Thirty-two

    When I was a little kid, my neighbors the Sircle family had the "Embassy" model in the blonde finish, with the swivel base. Mrs Sircle was beautiful, as she looked almost exactly like Lena Horne.

    Buying a new Toilet this weekend - Any advice?

    Charmin tissue is notorious for clogging drains. When I was renting the "hovel", the landlady warned me not to use it, or there would be sewer issues. Eventually it got so bad that any tissue would block it. Water from the upstairs bathroom and sinks would cause the downstairs toilet to...

    Buying a new Toilet this weekend - Any advice?

    I forgot to add that the flush valve toilets require a larger than standard water line -1". I got all new plumbing, both supply lines and drainage, so not an issue.

    Washers should have continued to be made with Monel Metal inner and outer tubs (or stainless steel), which would have avoided the rust problem. My dad's Uncle Fred and Aunt Hazel had Monel sinks and countertops in their 1936 house, which still looked new 55 years later when the property sold.

    Buying a new Toilet this weekend - Any advice?

    A wall mounted toilet requires a part called a "carrier", that bolts to the floor at the bottom of the inside of the wall, and the wall framing. This item was actually more expensive than the toilet itself. It also requires a thicker wall assembly to accommodate the plumbing. I was doing a major...

    I wonder what goes on in that trailer? Probably need a sign that reads: If this trailer is a 'rockin, don't come a 'knockin"!

    Buying a new Toilet this weekend - Any advice?

    I have a Kohler toilet that is wall mounted and no tank, as it uses a Sloan flush valve. I've had it about 7 years, and it works very well. Never had it clog. One of my friends had his bathroom done over last summer. The toilet, vanity cabinet, and medicine cabinet are all Glacier Bay from HD...

    Modern Living: Part Seventeen

    I remember the corner model toilet being in the catalog, but we didn't have it on display. Unfortunately they were having some problems with their porcelain enamel at that time. I don't know how many cast iron lavatories got returned due to the enamel flaking off, but it was frequently. After a...

    Modern Living: Part Seventeen

    I worked in a plumbing supply showroom back around 1989-90, a job I really liked. We were a distributor for Eljer, and had several mock ups of full bathrooms. Among the fixtures on display were a couple bidets. It was fun to hear people's comments about what they thought these were. Some...

    The KitchenAid EnergySaver IV's - 16mm Film

    We had an earlier model KitchenAid - a KDI-16, bought in early 1971. It replaced the GE from 1958, and my mom found it to be far superior. It was easier to load, cleaned better, and held up better. It was still functioning when I tore out the kitchen about 40 years later, as opposed to the GE...

    Consolette stereos: 1958-74...

    One of my neighbors used to have one that looked a great deal like that. They either received it as a wedding gift, or bought it shortly after their marriage in 1961. It had a walnut finish.

    WP buyers guide 1961

    Jamie, that range was most likely made in Hamilton, OH at the Estate Stove division of Whirlpool. That plant closed in 1962. One of my friends had a 30" version several years ago.

    i can no longer find ordinary incandescent chandelier bulbs, gotta go with leds

    I was in Menard's a couple days ago, and they had a large display of Sylvania TruWave bulbs. They're supposed to have excellent color rendering (90+ CRI), and emit much less blue light than standard LED type. I think the bulb is glass, and it looks like a regular incandescent lamp. They have...

    i can no longer find ordinary incandescent chandelier bulbs, gotta go with leds

    Oh, that's the only place I like that kind of light. I had a daylight (5000K) bulb in my bedroom light for a while, but had trouble going to sleep after having it on for very long. Now if there's a light bulb that will bring on intimate passion (and a participant), I might buy it.

    Vintage Food Advertisements: Part Twenty-five

    NONE of those sound very good. If I had to eat one of them, I think I would the bacon-tomato. My mom made many of the Campbell's recipes, and I liked nearly all. I think she knew these wouldn't go over well.
