    Warning never ever use Tesla for solar panels

    this is why... imo ground mount panels are a much better idea, we have ones that hold 9 panels each and it's easy to add more. The angle can be easily changed as seasons progress, they can be easily cleaned of snow or dirt, are far more accessible, and no worries about roof leaks or replacement...

    How did these KA dishwashers get water to the top rack?

    KA one arm wonders... work great with just the tiniest bit of intelligence when loading. We bought a KDC-17 new in 1974 and used it for 15 years with a family of 5 (after '77 and on) and it was a fabulous machine, fast, thorough, and dependable. We've had a KDI-18 as well. Remember the...

    Wow Bosch looking to buy Whirlpool!

    Not good! The very last remaining full-line large scale US maker of appliances should remain intact, independent and US owned. How many industries are we going to lose or give up producing before we get smart?... steel, TVs, radios, laptops, cars, (actual cars, not suvs & trucks), tools, and...

    New stackable set, dishwasher, and other appliance recommendations

    stackers... John recommended a Whirlpool 1 pc top-load stacker-set when we finally decided that we needed a dryer for our Vermont lake place. Usually we hang laundry out to dry in the sun there and at home but it's v nice to have the dryer for rainy days or when there's a glut of beach towels...

    KA-WP appliance merger in the '80s

At the conclusion of the case a temporary injunction was issued. Some very interesting facts here, as well as history that...

    UV back in the Olde Days.... back in the '50s and early '60s, in the "Hot Shoppes" (?) rest stops (iirc?) on the NY Thruway, or was it the New Jersey TPK? when you folded up the rest-room toilet seat it went into a housing on the wall with a UV light in it and a switch inside turned it on, on...
