My parents actually have one in their house, the cats use to use it as a water fountain.A good bidet is worth the money.
If you didn’t have the picture hanging above your bed, you’d probably not think about it everyday.I regret it everyday.
That’s a great description of him. After all of those online yards contests he’s entered, his calls to the Huntington magazine telling them about how his car should be featured on their pages, and his frequent trips to Miami trying to fit in outside of West Virginia, it’s best he just accepts his salt of the Earth place in life and embrace it.The Salt of the Earth, @murox ,
I'm not rich like you.If you didn’t have the picture hanging above your bed, you’d probably not think about it everyday.
Ehh, I don't know. Considering how many times you post about your house and cars on Facebook, you must be feeling West Virginia rich.I'm not rich like you.
You don't like Christmas trees?Ehh, I don't know. Considering how many times you post about your house and cars on Facebook, you must be feeling West Virginia rich.
EDIT: i saw your post and the word "appliances", not noting yore key word, "not", and never read the rest. guess we agree. ha.One expensive thing not with it: appliances. My wife had to have high end stove and oven and fridge. I stilll haven’t figured out why I paid twice what it normally would cost except the nobs are colored.
Also luxury vinyl plank is badass. Our kids go hard on it and for half the cost is durable and more beautiful than hardwood.
we still have the same matching dryer to the original front load washer we bought 17 years ago. the washer was a POS. the dryer, like you say, is extremely ho-hum, even have to dry two cycles if it's a bigger load of clothes. it works, but that's just about it.Not too long ago I replaced my old Sears Kenmore washer and dryer. The washer filled water to the top of the tub and the dryer got the towels so hot you could hardly touch them. I liked that.
Went with Bosch for the new ones. Look nice, but the front loading washer “saves water” by spitting out a teaspoon of water. Clothes hardy get wet. The dryer is even worse. It tells me the clothes are dry and I tell it they are not. We fight a lot. Bitch.

Higher end stuff is no better, but it is repairable. I have a Sub Zero that is about 7 years old and the freezer stopped working. A week later the keyboard on my Wolf oven stopped working. It was $1800 or so to replace the keyboard and the freezer compressor.If I had a newer home I would consider that vinyl - my kids can destroy anything.
BUt I have a 1920 house and have a love-hate with the old home. It has character and soul and the original hard woods are part of the soul I love.
We have KitchenAid appliances and I kind of wish we would have went higher end. We've already had some issues. We love to cook and are hard on our appliances, so though they're only around 7 years old starting to have issues.
With that said, my neighbor had a wolf oven and they started having issues with it and it was a pain in the rear to get it serviced.
Take out your leaf blower, and blow out the damn lent. Just duct tape around the vent opening real good, and around the end of the blower, and that shit will fly out of the other end of the trap. Just have to hold it open with something. You'll be surprised at how much more heat you'll get in the dryer.we still have the same matching dryer to the original front load washer we bought 17 years ago. the washer was a POS. the dryer, like you say, is extremely ho-hum, even have to dry two cycles if it's a bigger load of clothes. it works, but that's just about it.
when it dies, i'm going to the same guy that sold me the old washing machine and likely get a refurbished old dryer for a couple hundred.
Hk VP nineAside - could you all recommend a handgun for hiking? I take the kids out kind of deep and feel like I want to have one.
My budddy said a Glock 43x. Does that sound right?
Great idea. Sure beats crawling under the front deck with a tape measure. I thread that through the duct opening and pull out gobs of lint.Take out your leaf blower, and blow out the damn lent.

Yes, and you feel the need to let everyone on social media know on a biweekly basis. I’m wondering how you don’t have joint social media pages yet. That’s the next step.Nonetheless, I'm simply happy and have a wife and a lot of other things I probably don't deserve. Not sure what that makes me, but I also don't care. I'm good, man.
Sub Zero. Isn’t that what Nancy Pelosi has to store her $24 a quart ice cream? My passion is landscaping so I want to see some yard pics to see how I stack up. Might even get some new ideas.Higher end stuff is no better, but it is repairable. I have a Sub Zero that is about 7 years old and the freezer stopped working.

It’s planned obsolescence. Everything is garbage nowadays.
It's still a good idea to use the tape measure, in order to get everything out. I have a 25' dewalt tape measure, but my vent runs about 30 feet, so I scrape as good as I can prior to placing the blower on the inside end of of the duct, and then scrape from the outside end, in between blows. (insert 06 gay joke here)Great idea. Sure beats crawling under the front deck with a tape measure. I thread that through the duct opening and pull out gobs of lint.

Another thing I used a few years back was taking tent poles, the kind that insert into one another (like on a small pup tent type), and then duct taping them together. Then put a nice brush on the end with not too stiff bristles, and then you can put the non-brush end into your drill, and that works really well. Just have to make sure you tape everything really well, or then you're really screwed.I started to buy one of those commercial dryer vent brushes, but they are only about 10’ long. Probably make my own by using duct tape to put a brush on the end of a plumbing snake.
Somehow I’m picturing George and Mary Bailey. Is the newel at the bottom of your staircase loose too?BUt I have a 1920 house and have a love-hate with the old home.

Costco has a solid deal on car batteries. Prices are substantially lower than going to an Interstate Battery store. Their replacement warranty isn't prorated for the 3 years and you can add an additional 3 for $35. Take it in before the end of 6 years and replace for free.I am cheap, I go with Costco or Rite Aid brand.
Duracell batteries are the brand Costco uses to rebrand them as their own.Costco has a solid deal on car batteries. Prices are substantially lower than going to an Interstate Battery store.

Of course if you're a limp wrist like @WV-FAN you'll have to offer a handjob to someone in the parking lot to change the battery out for you.
Pine has always been called “the poor man’s wood,” but it has its own charm. The softer pines do show every nick and ding so it is not well suited for a formal look.When we moved in our home last summer, it has pine flooring throughout. I despise the stuff, it shows every single ding, scratch, and childs' toy mark in existence. If it were up to me I'd replace it all with vinyl.
The boss lady loves the wood, though.

let me satisfy your passion. i need a complete landscape job around the abode. come get after it. i'll bring @MichiganHerd in on it, so know you'll have all the booze you can handle. he'll be bringing the ganja. i also have a traeger and blackstone, so with his stoner grilling skills, you'll eat well.Sub Zero.

fastball down the middle, and nobody???The boss lady loves the wood, though.
People tell me I do exceptional work, but I am very, very slow. It has taken me four decades of work to get mine where it is today. I’ll try and make a small montage of some of my projects.let me satisfy your passion. i need a complete landscape job around the abode. come get after it. i'll bring @MichiganHerd in on it, so know you'll have all the booze you can handle. he'll be bringing the ganja. i also have a traeger and blackstone, so with his stoner grilling skills, you'll eat well.
ran into a guy not long ago that i knew back in high school and found out he was gay. never would have guessed it. not sure how it i didn't notice. was always trying to set him up with girls on dates and he always declined. i guess what should have given it away was him always trying to make eye contact when we were jerking each other off.Costco has a solid deal on car batteries.

What I like about all the flaws is you can look back on the history of your life in the home. That nick is where I dropped a bowl. That scratch is from bringing in the Christmas tree in 1990. That groove is where little HerdJCjr rolled the metal train engine we got him for his first birthday. So on and so on.
Your wife is very wise to want to keep the floor.
i'm in no hurry. the only possible negative to the entire job may be @MichiganHerd and i trying to out-drink each other and we end up with cirrhosis.People tell me I do exceptional work, but I am very, very slow.

I was going to talk about my hardwood floors, but figure somebody on here has better ones, so I'm not going to join that conversation. However, due to having an Amish woman, I'm an expert in rugs. You're right, good ones cost a decent amount, but we buy the rustic style rugs down in Holmes County or LaGrange County. Great selection at either place. We also have some really nice vintage vinyl rugs we use in certain areas, like the mud room for example. Those cost a bundle, but are well worth the investment, especially in heavy traffic areas, or in front of the oven where we have a small one. They have those at Country Gatherings in Berlin.Agree.
We have hardwood in every room except the kitchen. that was pine. all floors are original.
Big rugs help, but rugs are super expensive.
I'm a HUGE proponent of doing everything you can to keep original hardwoods and windows if at all possible. Storms ont he windows helps a lot. It hurts my soul to see neighbors trade out their original windows with new ones.
Keeping up an older window is both an art and a difficult chore. I know there was some controversy a few years ago when they changed out the old windows in our Governor’s mansion in Charleston. Many people wanted the old style windows repaired and not replaced.It hurts my soul to see neighbors trade out their original windows with new ones.
