Home Ownership

Spending a day off moving around everything in the garage so rodent control guys can come do their thing. Tight, tight

Look at those delightfully dangerous icicles !
I whacked most of them down. I don't want a human or a creature to be injured by them. Winter is fun.

no gutters?

What is the recommended dishwasher brand these days? mattafett ?

I feel like I need MordorMongo for this question, but need to replace our toilet. Live in a 1 bathroom house (for now until we put in a half bath in the basement). Any recs for a decently priced toilet/bidet combo? Have easy access to an outlet.

Concerned about too much electricity in the bedroom after you come home drunk after eating 4 lbs of ethnic cuisine?

This has been beside my breaker panel since I got an outside ground issue about 12 or so years ago. It fried some sensutive electronics, nothing over $800. Paid $60 or so, if I recall. Peace of mind?

Not sure if still looking for recs but this Bosch at our condo is being put through its paces and performing admirably. 2 day old pasta sauce, cleaned. Glassware, no streaks. Quiet too. Pots, pans have water marks but nothing real bad.

We also got a Bosch I guess two? years go. What is time anymore?

Mrs coach is vehemently against pre-rinsing, so it's been put through the paces and has performed admirably. Ours is this model: 300 Series Top Control 24-in Built-In Dishwasher. It also has the 3rd rack which is great for knives, spatulas, and other larger kitchen utensils. It's pretty quiet too. Would buy again.

Highly recommend a minimum of scraping your dishes off. No chunks, nothing that won’t dissolve in water. Pre washing is foolish though.

Ha! Just had to replace mine.

Replaced mine last year. Once I can get caught up on some expenses I’ll probably look to have a battery backup system put in just in case. We’ve had so much rain that it feels like it’s been running every few minutes.

After more rain today.

 

[SAISON FUCK]

So much rain here in SW Michigan, but we are on a small hill and have two ponds and a creek.

Nature's sump pump.

We have a gas cooktop with electric ignition and recently a couple times the ignition start firing when there’s no gas on just clicking endlessly. So I called my trusty appliance repair guy. Trying to figure out what the model number; the installation guide is dated 1990.

I eventually found the warranty card (thanks for not mailing it in, 2-3 owners ago!). Parts are available, we’ll see!
