Re: [BlindHandyMan] stove top terminal block
We have one of these and my wife says she would not buy another. They discolor very easily and are surprisingly hard to keep looking good. Bill Stephan, Kansas City MO Email: wstep...@everestkc.net Phone: (816)803-2469 -original message- Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] stove top terminal block From: Bob Kennedy inthes...@att.net Date: 05/27/2010 19:10 I know a lot of people like the cooktop stoves, smooth top as you call it, but I don't care for them. Before you ever buy one, check the price of replacements. When I dispatched for Sears, they sold anywhere from $450 to over $1000. That is just the top, not the oven too. Why do you need to replace it? Drop a pan on one and watch what happens. I ordered replacements everyday there. - Original Message - From: Jennifer Jackson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 8:02 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] stove top terminal block If I ever get to remodel the kitchen I will probably go for gas also. Though I am tempted by the smooth topped ones because of the ease of clean up. My house has gas and electric, but someone put in electric appliances in the kitchen for some reason.

Great idea for cleaning , electrically it sucks. I spent 27 years actively in the electrical maintance field and electric stoves were a real pain. The hard wired burners are the best and the ones called monotube that are fastened in and then hinge up are the best way to go. Of course converting you stove would cost a minimum of $100 just for the burners. I have always bought gas stoves for my personal use and always will. Sorry not much real help.

The elements are not setting into the terminal block correctly. I can not get them in myself a lot of the time, and when they are in it does not take much to bump them loose. Does the whole terminal block have to be replaced or is there maybe some kind of gasket that is just needing to be replaced? Any other trouble shooting thoughts on what this is?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Split mini
Dan, even on the noisy ones, they are very quiet. Be aware of the fact that some have only one compressor and others have multiple compressors. Cost will vary to purchase, but do take note of operating cost. Most of them really work well if sized properly and installed properly. Most have a really small footprint. Also most people that I know that have them, love them. .bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

No, they do not offer hard woods. They only deal in carpets. Matter of fact, they are truly a mail order house. You have to choose your own installer.

[BlindHandyMan] cleaning grill
Tomorrow, I will have the pleasure of cleaning up the gas grill. Oh, how I hate that. I just came up with an idea that I will do tomorrow. Whenever I try to vacuum the junk out of the bottom the shop vac hose really gets a mess. Then if you touch it you get black that is easily transferred. My idea is to take a white trash can liner and cut the bottom open. then tuck a few inches inside the hose and put the rest around the hose with some rubber bands. When finished just remove the bag and the outside of the hose will be clean. I think that will be much easier than trying to clean the hose when finished. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] floors by 1 800 carpet?
I was hoping so, too. I called them and asked. Have you looked at Lumber Liquidators? You can buy the materials directly from them and then, hire your own installer. The prices are all over the boardselections are quite varied.
