GE models GFW850SPNRS and GFD85ESPNRS. First off, they have the new chemical smell that won't go away, did 36 Million Trillion loads this week, constant Washer-Dryer-Washer-Dryer for hours each day M-T, part of the day so far today... I have only used Baking Soda in the washer the last 2 days...

I figured this could be a thread about the unexpected... Things you never thought would happen, so you memory holed them and forgot about it... Well, here is the first award recipient of mine... The band Nickelback finally has a good song. It only took them 47.93 Years, hence the title of the...

I have Two nominees for this question to start... Fake meat and Shredded Potatoes... First with the Fake Meat... I'm like 7-UP... Never had it, never will... The concept alone makes me nauseous... I get it if people are Vegan, I was for 7 weeks during my detox, but had no intention of eating...

I have 7 or 8 heads on each zone as is. I want to add probably 4 new heads to each zone and use the Orbit 360 degree 15 foot popups because they are the only ones that work. I have fought Rain Bird 45 foot sprayers or whatever they are for 8 years with no luck. There is real bad spots in the...

This is so bizarre to me, I don't even know how to search for it. If I wash my hands with bar soap in the kitchen sink with Hot water, it will eventually take care of the soap on my hands, but it takes a while. If I switch to Cold, it removes all the soap almost instantly. If I do the same...

With the gas prices having increased almost $2 if you're lucky, or much more IN BLUE STATES since the election, I just don't get how Obama didn't plan it out so that he could GRADUALLY raise the prices and win House and Senate seats for his people. The unmitigated disaster of Obama's 3rd term...

Since the other thread has derailed, stick it all here. Whether you are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Whig, etc., say whatever is on your mind...

I'm drawing a blank. This morning, the master bedroom smelled intensely like a skunk, 10 out of 10 on the smelleriffic scale... The connecting bathroom was a 3, the bathroom on the other side of the house was a 3, and the laundry room was a 2. Everywhere else was 0. Ok, so the septic drains are...

I painted a room about 3 months ago, and the smell won't go away, so I'm not able to use the natural gas furnace this year. I tore out all the drywall, and that didn't help. Assuming my smell problem is gone next year when it's time to use the AC, I'm wondering if the system will be cranky...

In searching for ways to block out the cold, I stumbled on to the window quilt site, and wonder if anybody has tried them? I'll probably try covering one room the first month or so of winter and compare between rooms how good they do. In searching this site, I did find a post from 2009, with a...

I'm wondering if anyone knows how they secure these types of island columns to the floor? The cabinets are floaters, secured by T-25 screws to the column, and I expected when I pulled them out, there would be cutouts at the bottom where they secured the column to the floor. There is nothing...

In prepping for Vinyl to go in at the entrance to the garage, I'm wondering what to do. Pull up the threshold and tuck it under, or put it flush up against the threshold like the linoleum is. What would you do?

I'm going to make counters for base cabinets out of 2x10's or similar, plane / glue / Kreg. That's the easy, cheap way that will work. My question is if I can do the same for the sinks? I'm wondering everything from whether my Jig Saw can handle that thickness, which will probably be 1.4" for...

My spare bathroom is 5' x 7.5', and until recently could clear the air after a shower in 20 minutes or so. Now it's taking around an hour. I figured either critters made a nest in the vent (No) or it was simply a 50 CFM unit or something like that. (It's 110). There is good air flow to the...

This Valspar is what I plan on getting. I currently have light tan walls with the exception of a Red wall in the Kitchen and a Light Blue wall in the laundry room, which makes as much sense as a Football bat to me. IF I like how this base works, do I need to do more than that? To me, "base"...

Hi, I see threads on vinyl flooring, but most go back a decade or more. Does anybody have current luxury vinyl flooring that works well with pets / is waterproof? I'm looking for opinions from people that have had the product down for a year or more with good results. I would value opinions...
