Yes, I thought this one was cute and visitors always noticed it in the garden but the leaves had horrid yellow speckles on them all season. I would like a couple of clean tubers! Still out trying to find spots in the Red and White Rose garden for dahlia plants today! I have lovely plants of Barberpole and Comet waiting to go in, as well as a Kori Kobi and some others I dug up to divide.

hollysprings, we run the machine about 3 times each day, which is one medium to large, one medium and one medium to small. Those 3 loads are for about 6 bath towels, two of those thicker plus other assorted laundry, usually always 'warm' and 'Cottons' 'Medium'. This is the same way we always used these GE top-load washers. MRB, perhaps the machine is doing that again : On the first machine water came out I was told because a seal on the vertical shaft got worn out, or during failure the machine tried to spin when still in the agitation cycle, or vice versa. On the replacement machine water seems to come out when there is a little too much water above the clothing, usually when we selected large, as I mentioned there are also very large and super load levels which we never use. We are not perfect, and when we judge the clothing level to be higher than it actually is and select the load accordingly too high then it might splash. Again on past machines we never had to worry about that. See it this way, both of us are college educated, I am an engineer, We should be fully qualified to operate this machine. I should not be required to study rocket science for that. None of the concerns is mentioned in the user's manual. I should be able to throw the clothing and detergent in, select what is approximately correct per the users manual, push start, and that machine does its job for 6 years without a problem. In case I pay too little for the machine, it should perhaps do a poor job washing, aka clothes staying dirty, but should not break down every month! Bernd

I agree with Pal. I had my trim paint in the kitchen color and sheen matched to the cabinet color. Elsewhere in the house I used a different shade of off-white in a higher gloss. Windows are a pain in the neck to paint, so I'd try to minimize what you have to paint by using window-colored trim elsewhere in the house. Also, I made the mistake of ordering my new windows with BM Chantilly Lace, which seemed close to the existing trim color. It wasn't. And I've since painted the window trim another off-white which still doesn't match the windows. You really cannot tell. Especially if you have window treatments.

I would change to a vent and not worry about a MW at all. Do not worry about changing your counters. I'm speaking as a person that recently sold two properties and bought another in another state. Clean the grout, clear the counters, and be done with it. I do strongly suggest hiring a home inspector for your own peace of mind before you sell. We did, and it really helped when our buyers' had paid their own home inspector over 5 grand to come down from NYC and he didn't know how to turn on a gas-log fireplace, or how a tankless water heater worked, or how to utilize a ceiling fan remote control :) Good Luck, and don't over think things!
