My fuel line by my door is leaking and I didn't notice it until this morning. Kept wondering why I smelled gas

I went from full tank to a quarter of a tank just today so I guess my Saturday is booked

I spent $250 to get my gas line fixed because gently caress spending my Saturday under my car when it's 90° and gorgeous outside

Drove it there and walked the three miles home and it was so nice to walk somewhere in the sun

Commute chat: it takes 45 minutes to go 18 miles. My team/company in general is outgrowing the space we are locked into for the next five years so I'm trying to convince my boss to move us to an office five miles from my house

Also my old commute was 1.5hr for 38 miles which almost killed me

??? FYI, people can live perfectly full and complete lives with one kidney. Your hated of boomers knows no bounds, I guess. Would you deny one of your parents a kidney if it'd give them another five or ten years?

Oh hmm I thought that you needed more medical attention and were more susceptible to sickness with only one kidney. I guess I should have googled before :justpost:ing

also wrt boomer, in this case i mostly meant someone who does not have much time left (on average) compared to other people.

Seminal Flu posted:

Fuuuuuuck... I got an email from my thermostat last night telling me that the AC was doing a poo poo job. Still hauled it down to 70* now, but it took too long.

18 year old system, so I'm looking at replacing both. What is yours going to cost?

It's gonna be about $7500 for the new system plus install then we get about a grand in rebates and tax things back

Check the original date on the old one:

Front load washer chat...

Typically it goes in order of preference..European makes followed by North American and then Korean. Note makes does not necessarily = country of origin.

I just did a lot of research on this myself and ended up with an Electrolux set but I think that would be over your budget. You might be able to get a deal on the entry level set to make it close though? This is their basic full size washer.

Speaking to my appliance repair guy (he had to get me a part for something) he rates Miele, Bosch and Electrolux pretty close in terms of reliability in the real world. North Americans brands decent, but can be hit and miss, and finds the Koreans (LG, Samsung) pretty much on par for reliability but LGs parts availability and warranty program is absolutely atrocious, easily the worst in the market. Kenmores are typically re-badged Korean units. They go so far now as to not even want to work on LGs and tells people that call them with an LG issue just to call the 1-800 LG hotline and arrange to troubleshoot and repair through it.

If I had a budget of $1K, I'd probably go to my local costco and see if they had in Whirlpools or Maytags in stock you could get within budget.

There are other niche brands like but leaving those out completely based on $$$.

Note, if you are talking about second floor installs and extra large capacity are important to you, that changes the dynamic around a bit.

Nice, thanks for this. We can probbo swing more than a grand since if it's an obvious quality increase it's worth it to me

Those floors :heysexy: Cabinets aren't bad and the color works but the artificially aged is kind of meh. With the houses we've been looking at I have a feeling it's time to branch out from just fixing cars to basic woodworking and house poo poo. Upside is new tools!


Might have missed the house we likes with the big detached garage but there will be others. I'm kind of bummed but the location of that one was just poo poo, hopefully the next ones will be more ideal.

Yeah dude, the floors are waterproof vinyl so they look fantastic for being fake :3:
