We have a 22 year old GE dryer (model DDE7900BALWH) which has non-functioning
Automatic Cycles (both regular and permanent press) but the timed cycle (you
set the number of minutes works fine).  To use the automatic cycles, one sets
the dial between more dry and less dry and the ...

We have an LG washer model WM2277HW that works very well, but has a
problem that we can't figure out.  Every once in a while, bleach or
fabric softener will be dispensed while pouring it into the dispenser.

I am in the process of finishing our basement.  Our home is 2 years old
with poured basement walls.  We have started to put up 2x4 framing
against the walls, and planned to insulate with faced R-13 fiberglass
insulation, and put up 1/2 drywall.  Recently a friend suggested that

Patio furniture - It is almost time for patio furniture. Can someone
recommend patio furniture that is casual? I think we want wooden patio
furniture.

Will be adding a gang box for a new outlet, and also one for a wall switch

This is my first winter in my new home and there is an anomalous heating
issue.
The house is colonial with a bonus room over the garage (Finished Room Over
