Comments (12)sbryce, I have indeed seen those two threads, and I have read through them! Handeling rotten kitchen scraps doesnt bother me at all. I have noticed that people do differ on freeze vs rot. I have no access to horse manure (not before I get my worms, anyway). I may see if my mom has any old canned pumpkin... she buys in bulk in the holidays, and normally has some left over! We have a pile of old grass clippings around some trees... I may dig through that and grab some! Thanks for the ideas! EQ2, (can I call you that? I saw others calling you that in past threads...), Well, So with a lid is bad, and without a lid is bad. And no rot in the freezer, and not putting it near warmth.... if I had to guess, I would say you are not a fan of the pre-rot method! Ive looked into the bokashi, but I dont think its gonna work out for me currently. Honestly, I have a baggie of frozen (not rotted) scraps in my freezer already. and It would be easier for me to not rot... I was just going to try it out. So a container that closes, but I shouldnt keep it closed all the time, right? Thats sorta the idea I am getting. And one of the posts mentioned keeping things in the sun to help rot, so that sorta answers my 'warmth' question... I am just compiling data for things to try out! And what exactly is 'forest duff'? Would that be the layer of partially rotted stuff below the top layer of leaves? Where all the squirmys hang out? (No pine needles, correct?) Thanks both for helping me out! Your information is invaluable!...See MoreLG he top load WT5170 - Some More Questions on Its Operation
Comments (14)This is an old post, but I have this same washer and we have figured out how to run loads that need more water and straight hot water. It's a little bit of work, but for the size of the tub and other features of this washer that we like, we think it's worth it. Here are the steps we go thru for towels (or anything we think needs more water and hot water straight from the tap): 1) Place towels in tub. Do not add soap or bleach. 2) Turn to towel setting, cold water and let fill up just enough until towels are soaked. 3) Put on Spin only and wait until water drains out, then stop it. Don't let it spin the towels dry - just enough for water to stop pumping out of drain and where you don't hear any water still sloshing in or under the tub. 4) Turn off the machine and wait 30 seconds. While waiting, add soap and bleach if desired. 5) Turn on machine, set to Sanitary. Push Start. Since the towels are now wet, they are heavier, so the machine will fill it with more straight hot water. Once the level of water is reached and the machine starts agitating, wait about 5 minutes. 6) Pause machine, change cycle to Towels, Hot water and whatever other settings you want. Push start. The water level will be maintained and the wash will be hot. Sometimes, if it isn't a lot of towels, once you switch it over to towels, it may add more cold water. I haven't had it do this if I let the sanitary wash for at least 5 minutes before changing the cycle. I do large loads though, so there really isn't much room to add more water anyway. We only have to mess it with when we want tap hot water. I have never washed an entire load on sanitary where it heats up the water. Mainly because our hot water is hot enough and I also don't want to wait 2+ hours. Hope this helps the OP or anyone else that has this washer. We have been very happy with our so far. My MIL has the SQ, but says it agitates too fast for her delicates. Other than that, she loves it....See MoreTwo Jewelry questions
Comments (8)I don't own custom jewelry, so no help here. I inherited lots of jewelry made of precious metals and gem stones, I donâÂÂt like to keep jewelry in the safety deposit box at the bank, it is inconvenient; also the boxes usually are not in the climate controlled area. I have not found any jewelry storage boxes/armoires useful, until I found the Stack On boxes in Sears automobile/hardware section. Below is the link from Amazon. The box has compartments; some are adjustable for different length of necklaces or bracelets. I use one box for different type of jewelry, such necklace, earrings, rings and bracelets. When opening the lid, everything in sight and is easy to find. I put each piece in small plastic bag so that they don't get scratches if touch one another. The box closes tightly, can be stacked up, fits perfectly in a safe or file cabinet to be put away and locked. I never hang jewelry on a fixture, only store everything lying flat. Occasionally I take pearls out to let them breathe and get some humidity from the air. Once a year I exam each piece for any cleaning or repair. I like to keep all the jewelry in tip top condition. Hope this helps. Here is a link that might be useful: Stack On Box...See MorePacking Question - Jewelry
Comments (11)"One suggestion I have from past experience: don't bring out the goods until you are safely in your new home alone. I once made the mistake about fussing over one suitcase too much and others got too curious." Same thing if you are selling a house. Lock up your jewelry! I looked at a house owned by an older couple. The jewelry box was sitting out open on a dresser. I mentioned it to the realtor. She didn't seem to think it was a big deal. I wondered if she would care if it were her stuff.... When I moved I packed my jewelry in zip loc bags and put them into a stuffed toy. I don't use safe deposit boxes anymore. I had stuff stolen from them years ago. Safe deposit boxes aren't insured and bank personnel can and WILL go into them. It is your word against theirs. Only item left was a car title. Something that couldn't be easily fenced... Everything else was gone. I think it is bound to get worse as the economy and city coffers continue to suffer. FYI.
