I have a Thermador freezer column and it appears the water keeps dripping after it refills the ice tray and is freezing in the ice bin and freezing the ice cubes together. I called a local appliance repair place and according to my wife, he took some plastic off the back inside the freezer and...

2 confirmed dead and 3 others on board. Not far from my in-laws’ house and only 2.5 miles from the airport. At least they didn’t hit any other cars or houses. https://www.nbc-2.com/article/plane-crashes-into-vehicle-near-i-75-in-collier-county/46699808

So my wife backed out of the garage with the liftgate partially opened after it failed to close when my daughter put her cello in back. The garage door headed caught the upper spoiler that houses the wiper sprayer and 3rd brake light and tore it mostly off the liftgate. Lucky me, the part is...

This is the first year I got humidifer panels off of Amazon and not from Lowe’s. My wife was putting away Xmas stuff and there was water all over the basement floor in one of the storage areas. Opened up the humidifier cover and the panel was folded over on itself and super soggy causing water...

In-laws want better access throughout their Florida home. The house is 25 years old and lots of block construction. We tried the mesh system but it didn’t provide coverage throughout the house. They got a quote from Best Buy for wired access points throughout and the guy said it would be a...

I sold my 2021 Ford Raptor with 21,000 miles on it last week. I didn’t want to jinx it by mentioning it til the check cleared. I got 4 quotes and figured people here might find it useful: Carvana: $69,551 Givemethevin.com: $71,500 Vroom: $60,000 Carmax: $67,000 Obviously I sold it to...

I’m tossing around the idea of an EV for commuter duty. In the garage I’d most likely use, there’s a sub panel 5 feet from where I’d park. The 30 amp compressor circuit goes to an outlet in the basement for a future compressor that I likely won’t ever need. Am I correct that I could just have a...

My wonderful wife picked up $25 worth of sealed wings from Costco and threw them in the garage fridge yesterday. I got home from work and noticed the door wasn’t all the way closed. I checked the temp of a beer with the digital thermometer and it was 52. She’s thinking they can’t possibly be...

I picked up a Predator 3500 inverter generator at Harbor Freight and the manual said the spark plug is a Torch F7RTC. I picked up the NGK equivalent but when I went to swap it, the stock plug was a LG F6RTC. What is the difference between a 6 and 7 in the part number? Colder plug? I put in the...

Could cold temperatures cause dimming lights? We were going to bed last night and the 4 sconces in our master bath were noticeably dimmer. They have led candle base bulbs in them. I have a Kill-A-Watt that I plugged into the outlet and was showing 108 volts. I am pretty certain it used to show...

My wife and I both would like one for the home gym and the Peloton bike is on sale today via Amazon Prime. I’m not sure I need the subscription features but am not ruling them out. I like the adjustability but if something in the $4-500 range is comparable and can save me $700 I’m all ears...

My wife’s 2021 Z71 Suburban wore the front outer shoulders very quickly on the OEM Goodyears. The tires have been religiously maintained at the recommended 35 psi and rotations every 7,500 miles. This was the first model year for this generation and it does have air suspension as well. I’m...

Three units are 8 years old and haven’t been cleaned before and one is 5 years old. I got through 2 before they were in the sun and it’s 100 today so I’ll do the other 2 this evening or tomorrow. I can only imagine how much better the airflow is. The first one was after removing the fan and...

The other driver was probably texting. Thank goodness for good brakes. I had to pull over and check for damage to make sure I didn’t clip the road sign or the Odyssey. I’m glad I wasn’t adjusting the radio or anything, I don’t like my odds in a 40 mph head-on collision.

We got a dog again and I need a cordless stick vacuum for quick dog hair and kid messes on hardwood floors. Is the Dyson really with $500-650 or would a $150-$250 model suffice? If anyone has any experience I’m all ears.

Shopping around for home and auto and am curious who people are using. I tried Costco but they wouldn’t do the house. Amica was double what I’m currently paying on the house and the same price for auto.

The temperature control valve is bad on my shower and I’m pretty sure I’ve replaced it once before but for the life of me can’t figure out how to remove the thing. The parts have a lifetime warranty so they shipped me a new part as a plumber likely wouldn’t have one in stock. Part 8 in the...

Home Depot has a 40” Brinly for $269 and there’s also a 48” wide one as well. They hold extra weight on top if needed for good penetration. I figured I’ll pick one up if they aren’t total junk as it’s $200+ to get my yard aerated. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with these?

Saw this yesterday. Obviously too much weight in the rear but is this something that can happen when it’s not a bunch of heavy football players? Do airlines usually balance the cargo better to prevent this?

With the crazy used car market I got price quotes from multiple companies to consider selling my 2019 Raptor crew cab that I bought new for $65,500 in April of 2019. I took detailed photos that showed the couple rock chips and a 1/2” scratch on a rear door and noted them on the sites when...
