Except in certain parts of Idaho, where those people died out generations ago.

Yep, outside.

If you don't have a hood vent that's pulling air to the outside of your house,apt,condo,what have you,then you probably should've have a gas range in the first place. In fact,I don't even know why this isn't against code.

I don't touch it. Wife has been washing everything that isn't nailed down. I have to say, our sheets feel much softer. So far the wife likes the LG better than the GE.

I have to say, I'm incredibly disappointed in Lowe's at the moment.

November 29th, Friday. We order a new washer dryer set because our 8+ year old washer is rusting like crazy due to the hard water, we were able to schedule a delivery date for the next day. EUREKA!

We wake up to an email saying they changed to the delivery date to Monday, Dec 1st without calling us to confirm that date would work. Call the store after a bunch of BS they make me call the warehouse to get the delivery reschedule to this past Saturday, Dec 6th.

They show up, but only have the dryer. And won't go ahead and install it or take it back and insist on leaving it in the garage. Only one place it will fit. In front of the BRZ, blocking the deep freeze, and me barely able to get my car in the garage. Guy calls the CSR, multiple times he tells them, "Call the customer to confirm they will be available for the delivery date." He said this at least 4 times.

Nope, we wake up to an email yesterday 12/7, saying the delivery has been schedule for 12/8 tomorrow. Again, we both no longer WFH, so we won't be able to accept the delivery and have them install.

I call the store again and ask why they are just scheduling deliveries expecting my wife to use PTO or me to take unpaid day (I'm a contractor at the moment), so they can do delivery install. She says, "I don't know why they keep doing that."

I responded, "Well, I'm hoping that you can help me get it rescheduled. If I have to call the warehouse again and explain myself 6 times that 'No, we can't take delivery during the week' I'm going to have my credit card do a chargeback, I'm going to push the dryer to the curb, and hopefully your guys will be able to get it before some hillbillies put it in the back of their truck."

What do you know, within 2 minutes she had it schedule for this coming Saturday.

Prices continue to rise, service continues to get worse. Inflation continues to rise, wages are being held stagnant or in some cases forced down because so many layoffs in certain industries, there is a huge labor pool of people desperate to find work.

That is why I don't get appliances from home depot or lowes any more. They contract delivery etc.. Now I use R.C. Willy. It's a bit more expensive, but guys in a R.C. Willy truck, with R.C. Willy shirts show up. No problems.

We have Famous Tate down here that does appliances. Almost as funny...

It was nothing to do with the 3rd party delivery.

Apparently, him and his guy go to the truck in the morning that is already loaded at the warehouse. He drops his truck off their at night drives home for them to load and he goes out again the next day.

He even showed me on the manifest where it showed both the washer and dryer were on the truck. Of course, we were stop 15 of 23 for the day, so it's not like you can unload the truck to ensure the warehouse people aren't mouthbreathers.

But when they showed up, the washer was, in fact, not on the truck like it said.

When he called the warehouse on speaker phone the best they could come up with was, "We don't know why it says it's on there and it isn't."

I'll have to get a pic, on a fun note right before Thanksgiving we got a new 75" mounted on the wall just above our MCM TV stand, so we could put our new Pro-Jec EVO Debut 2 turntable on it.

The mount pulls out to the edge of the TV stand for TV/Movie watching, then we can push it all the way against the wall to access the turntable. Pretty cool set up.

We were in Sam's yesterday and I made the mistake at looking at TVs. We already have a 77" OLED as our main TV (I got a sweet deal in it about 5 years ago, it was a return and was less than half price at MicroCenter).

Well, they have a Vizio (now the Walmart/Sam's Store brand) QLED 100" TV for $1,600!! It was gorgeous, not quite an OLED picture but pretty damn close. Unfortunately our TV wall is about 6 inches too short to mount it, and the wall is bound by a hallway on the right and a pair of internal french doors on the left. We could get a smaller set of French doors though.....

I have an 82" upstairs in the bonus room, and it looks small. Big room. I might have to go to Walmart today.,.

[OkieSnuffBox]

I support both of your ideas. I could have squeezed in an 85" but it would have looked "off" basically being up against the tower speakers.

I just moved my chair closer to the TV we have -
