    In the market for a new fridge

    I went premium with a US made sub-zero. 8 years old and still working great. Bottom freezer with ice maker, no water dispenser. We use a lot of ice, I'd never go without an ice maker again. We had water/ice through the door on a Kitchen-aid at the last house. Had ice maker trouble and I agree...

    My guess is the battery but I believe the voltage regulator is built into the alternator on most vehicles these days. Could be that. Do you have a battery load tester? That should tell you if it's the battery.

    What did you do today?

    I wrestled from 8th grade through high school. I always figured that if I was even in a situation where I was going to fight the first thing I'm doing is getting the guy on the ground. I always wondered why guys in a fight just want to stand there and let someone punch at them. No thanks, I'm...

    I have a friend that makes blood sausage every year. I'm not sure where he gets the blood though. I'm guessing the local butcher shop or maybe the slaughter house south of here.

    What did you do today?

    We reworked the shower in our last house and we used preformed niches. They were 1 piece plastic that set in the wall and tile went over them. Have you run across those? Our tile came from a tile shop not a big box store. We were only there for about a year after it was done so I can't speak to...

    The roundabouts here have worked well. There a couple intersections near me where a county road crosses a state highway. There were bad wrecks there all the time and traffic would back up 20 deep at the stop sign at different times of the day. Now no backups and any crashes now are fender...

    Shower grab bars

    I'm curious about how the zero step shower was done. We have had addition plans for quite a while and just haven't decided to start construction. It includes a master bed and bath on the 1st floor. We want to build it to be accessible and one question I've had is are there any special...

    Shower grab bars

    No actually there is a tub and surround with the same problem on the other side. I ran across these that look interesting. Ever see something like this? Solid Mount Grab Bar

    It was probably a bot. Seems like most places don't even use people for the chat features. Makes them 99% useless.

    Shower grab bars

    So I I need to add some grab bars for a shower stall for my dad. He has mobility problems a D getting g in the shower is tough for him. The problem is the shower is a one piece acrylic or fiberglass enclosure and there is nothing behind the walls, it's all hollow. I can flex the wall almost 3/4"...

    What did you do today?

    Finished up a guest bath remodel. New flooring, new vanity/sink fresh coat of paint. Biggest problem was putting up crown molding. What a pain in the butt. Wasted a bit but got it up pretty good. I was determined to figure it out because I have 2 bedrooms to do too. Definitely a learning curve...

    What did you do today?

    What I'm getting at is is that SOP for how vaccines and medication studies are done or is this a spin on the results to show what someone wants you to see? Many ways to interpret data. There also seems to be differences in terminology within different groups and not understanding that makes it...
