Checking for this when I get home. Probably the 1 thing I miss most from our old house. Could just about peel paint with our shower there.

Pure speculation here, but the open door on a gas oven thing 'could' be a safety regulation requirement from the CPSC (or some other useless .gov entity!), to potentially to dissuade from and/or pretty much make it impossible to use the oven for supplemental heat in your domicile. It's for your protection...

I replaced all the faucets in home with Moen. I found the aerator had a removable 1/4" restrictor. Now I can wash my hands twice as fast.

Take 'em out and toss 'em in the fireplace! You get some really pretty colors in the flames for a few seconds.

| On a similar note, how about those smaller squares on a roll of paper towel? Now you just need to leave 2-3 combined to do the job of one previously. |

| I would think that the oven’s open door sensor could easily be bypassed.

| I owe Pyker & Rogue a beer. Massive difference in shower pressure with the tiny o-ring removed.

Drill Here, Drill Now
| Energy efficient dishwasher is 4 hours to do a load of dishes. That's just clean, and the dishes are still wet at the 4 hour mark. When I move, I run everything practicable in the kitchen through the dishwasher (who knows what disgusting things movers do to stuff when I'm not looking) and the normal 2 hours meant a clean and functional kitchen in 1 weekend. The 4 hour cycle really drug out getting my kitchen set-up and I was really craving home cooked meals after eating out exclusively for weeks while moving from Canada to Houston . On a day to day impact, can't run a load after breakfast, have dry dishes returned to their place, and put dirty dishes from lunch. Same thing goes with the time between lunch and dinner.

Yep, that's why we run ours overnight. Usually just anything that can retain water is wet. Not a huge fan of our LG dw, but it's a lot better than the Frigidaire we had in our old house.

My hand moves on autopilot when I start my Escape. The buttons that I tap on engine start are close to each other on the center console, so it's tap the parking brake release, double tap the mode selector to change the transmission from "normal" to "economy," and tap the auto stop / start control to turn it off.
