composite deck / bleach mold cleaning recommendations negligent
Comments (10)Yo Ken, if your still around your up on this one. Far as Composites go I am with the Larry/whoever We are for the most part. Composites are really no longer using recycled material because there is just not enough of it so most of the raw stuff is virgin,the energy used to make composite is an enviro no no, when its time to remove the project composite is not real big on bio degrade its tricky to burn shreading it would be silly. Bottom line composites are not so enviro freindly. Info like that might suggest its not all that good to clean it either, with anything. I dont agree>> composites will out last Ipe, left to go silver/gray Ipe is as close to no maintance as a person can get. With the softer composites like Choice/MoistureShield even trex= tjunk I have found a coat or two of TWP 116 seals up the decking,locks in the color and keeps mold,mildew,stains from causing major problems. Of course not needing to do this is the reason the Wallet goes for composite in the first place. I my own self dont like composites at all for the reasons stated in several posts here and on other sites. Welcome aboard Larry!!! Sorry I dident understand your intent at the begining .

Comments (23)I have a set of LG Tromm's. I love them but my washer is being serviced right now. I bought them in September of 2003. I have three dogs and I wash their beds every week. So, my washer has seriously had a workout. The beds are very heavy. Regardless, of the washer needing fixed, I will definitely buy this brand the next time also. The repairman phoned a few minutes ago to say that the parts will take 10 days to come in and that the cost is going to be $187 for the parts. When he came today to look at my washer, he said that I'm using too much soap. I have been using regular soap. He said that I should use HE soap but that if I don't want to, that I should use 1/4 of what is normal. I told them that I already dilute the soap by 50% with water. He said that is good but if I was going to do that and use regular soap to dilute it 75% water and 25% soap. He said that if you see the washer full of suds when you're washing, that there is way too much soap and the pumps cannot siphon all the suds and the sensors will get messed up. He also said the top soap dispensing assembly can be removed by taking out the 4 screws and that I could run it through the dishwasher to clean it. My mom was here and she has Whirlpool machines and he told her that for hers, she can hold down a pin and that her soap dispenser would come out and that she could run hers through the dish washer. He told her to clean the top of hers also when the dispenser was out. Finally, he told me to clean the glass once a week. He said that dirt/hair will accumulate on the bottom of the glass and since that sits against the seal, if it's dirty it may start to seep water which will result in a streak down the front of the washer. He just said to clean the glass once a week and to wipe down the seal once a week. Again - I love this washer and dryer. I recommend them to anyone. I don't think anyone who changes from top loaders to front loaders go back after they've had the front loaders. Oh ya - I have the pedestals that raise them up. Definitely love these things too....See MoreHelp my mom! Please recommend a cooktop/vent.
Comments (22)Thank you everyone so much for making suggestions! My mom has the links to these threads now (one in kitchens and one in appliances) and is following along. She has jury duty this week and her soccer team just had an inglorious end to their season, so all your kind help is a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster week. :) @multiple people who suggested recirculating ventilation How exactly does recirculating work? You have a hood, but it's just...not vented? So it's just like a fan? @westsider Your "Way better everything" line made my mom laugh. I totally agree that she will completely prefer induction in every way (although her current cooktop is not setting the bar particularly high...). @fishcow Ha! Ohhhh I have been there. I hope you never ever have to do those things you are avoiding! We are definitely going to look into the least deep cooktop possible, inspired by your suggstion. I may start a different thread just asking for the least deep cooktop anybody can find or already knows of. Surely there's some people with old/historic homes with non-standard counter depth who have looked for that too. @rebunky https://publishers.playbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/pb-wink.gif @practigal It's a cabinet underneath. Just posted pictures and dimensions! @cpartist My mom also laughed (twice -- both times she read the thread) at "Your parents absolutely need induction." Like me, she was very interested in the in-ceiling vent you posted, and she she sent it to her contractor to see what he thought. Do you have any experience with something like that? Does it work at all?...See MorePlease help me choose our next washer and dryer!
Comments (28)>>>I guess there is concern that if the floor flexes during the spin cycle, the stackable unit could topple over. From what I was told, sandiego_steve, the old ATE50s banged around something awful and would not maintain SQ's super-fast spin in many upstairs installs. My dealer said they'd had several returned because they couldn't be stabilized. (Oddly, when he sold me the ATE50, knowing it was for 2nd floor installation, he didn't mention this.) I went ballistic when I was told I was getting the new model because I'd planned the timing of my reno project specifically to avoid the new electronic controls. I ordered -- and paid in full -- for the ATE50 in late Nov. or early Dec. Because I was so pissed, my dealer then offered to sell me one of the returned units if I "insisted" but maintained he was doing me a favor by switching out the washers because the new one he was bringing me had dynamic stability. I tried to download the manuals right then, but no one had them uploaded yet, not even SQ. Then you guys here talked me down, and I felt better. THEN they hauled it up the stairs -- 800 pounds! -- installed it, ran a test load, handed me the manuals, and left. After I read the manuals and exploded, my dealer said he had been unaware it was for a second floor install, but those words all over our email chain, and I had specifically asked more than once about the ATE50's stability upstairs. He was my contractor's vendor of choice, and they worked hand in glove on the whole project, so while he may have "forgotten," he certainly knew. And if he had "forgotten" then why the hoo-ha about switching out the units to avoid stability issues? But like I said, the thing does not so much as twitch. It is more stable than the 20-year old convention kenmore TLs it replaced. They may have needed those weasel words for the ATE50, but IMHO, they don't need them for this new version. I hope I never come to regret keeping it, but I do love it. It is an amazing machine. But now I have hijacked the OP's post, and told her more than she need to know about SQ. And I do thank you, sandiego_steve, for the help you have given all of us in making our SQ choices -- you possess a wealth of knowledge on the topic. I think the OP could not choose a better machine in any version....See Moredragonesse
