Ok, i'll be getting my fridge delivered on Saturday. It has an icemaker - however, I do not have a water line on the side of the kitchen that it will be on (for the icemaker). The fridge will be right across from the sink, along the wall.

You live in a condo, don't you?
1. Do you have unfinished basement below the kitchen? 2. Do you have some other form of water supply behind the fridge? 3. Do you have any plans to replace the flooring in the kitchen at any point in the future (because you could run the water supply under the floor but you'd have to open the subfloor temporarily and replace the flooring). Adding a saddle-valve to tap into existing water supply is really easy. Your problem is getting it to the back of the fridge. Good luck. |

Our clothes dryer takes 3-4 cycles to get clothes dry. It is a 2-3 year old Maytag. The heating element is working as it is putting out warm air, the lint trap is kept clean and there are no obstructions or kinks in the exhaust hose.
Any ideas? |

It may still be the element. Is it putting out warm air or hot? Try just running a few pieces of clothing to see if they actually get hot. I'm sure you've checked the heat settings.... |

If you have oil spots on your driveway, spray some brake cleaner on the spot and then pat it with a thick paper towel. Repeat if necessary. Lifts the oil right out!

I don't know about removing it....
I think you might be able to sand it, but that would probably just make a mess. Is the current texture orange peel? If its not, I think I'd just take a flat putty knife (4-6") and scrape the tops off the bumps. Others might have a different opinion, but I almost think it would be easier to buy a bucket of mud, water it down and smoothcoat the walls than sand the other stuff off. |

The only other thing that may be happening is that your washer isn't spinning enough to get rid of excess water after the final rinse. |

penq....I'm not sure what others would do, but I'd buy a bucket of mud and smooth coat it. That would be quicker than trying to sand it off, seal the drywall and then fill dings and paint.
