    Garbage Disposal Question

    That's good to know - cheaper, too. But how does it compare with the Essential model in performance?

    Garbage Disposal Question

    More like 18 years old. You're right - it was installed in the house when it was built (along with the dishwasher . . .) I was just looking at those Evolution models earlier tonight at Lowe's. I'll have to fit that into the budget sometime soon. Thanks for the feedback.

    Garbage Disposal Question

    Thanks for your reply. I do have a dishwasher hooked up, but there's no leak at the connection. Redwood, funny you should ask - It is a Badger 1. Here's a look:

    Black "Soot" on Furnace Filter

    Wow - I forgot I posted this! Well, the good news is I'm not dead! No, there is no black soot in the intake chamber. I got a CO detector, and everything checks out fine. Really odd, isn't it?

    Black "Soot" on Furnace Filter

    Not visibly, no. I did spray some bleach solution on it already, then put a fan up. But it still has that moldy smell - the siding and framing is still damp, and it's all exposed until the guy gets out here to fix it. I didn't spray the inside of the siding too much, since it was going to...

    Black "Soot" on Furnace Filter

    I live in a 1989 manufactured home. The furnace (gas, forced air) is the original unit. I have been pretty good about cleaning the filter regularly (it's a reusable allergy filter) - it's been dirty before, but this time it was completely black. We've been tackling a pilot light issue for...

    Moen Kitchen Faucet Repair

    Regrets I cannot believe this Price Pfister faucet I bought to replace my Moen in March. I mentioned above that I had to replace the diverter after a couple of weeks. Well, a month ago, the handle started falling down if I didn't have it up all the way. SO - - - had to get them to send me a...

    Moen Kitchen Faucet Repair

    Well, actually, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. I ended up throwing the Moen in the trash. I didn't buy a Delta, I bought a Price Pfister. I'd been without water in my kitchen for about a week and a half and got fed up. It's been in for about two weeks now. I actually had to replace the...

    Moen Kitchen Faucet Repair

    Moen faucet repair Well, I got the new cartridge at Lowe's (the replacement from Moen was sent regular mail from OH to CA, and I didn't want to wait until next week to get it) and installed it. I think I need to turn it around because I now have only cold water (on the hot side :o ). But when...
