I'm where you are now, for the past few years. (retired). But old habits die hard, and I was raised by depression era parents and taught to be frugal and responsible. I still get more pleasure out of doing the same thing for less (like soap or gas or paper plates) but will spend whatever the cost for steak, seafood, travel, etc. Life is too short and I won't outlive my money, so time to enjoy.

A couple contractors up here that have worked for me say I have some of the best tasting water around the lake. Do to medical problems I have to drink a lot of water so having good tasting water is a +! |

Well liked. The next house down has a well point system and their water is awful. |

A good well should be drilled into bedrock and sealed at the overburden-bedrock interface so shallow groundwater can't contaminate the well. |

Women have an entirely different view of the world. In the last two houses I've owned I've had a widowed neighbour who thinks washing machines need to be run on a daily (almost) basis. Whenever there's a dry day with some wind two or three lines of washing appear in her back yard. When it's not dry she'll run her dryer or let the damp stuff pile up until the weather improves. WTF did these women do before washing machines? And the real question - does their obsessive laundry action mean they are much cleaner than men, or much DIRTIER? |

Are used to work near a Dasani plant and could see firsthand how much water was dumped after it went through the filtration process and didn’t meet spec. It was a staggering amount. |

The garage set will be mostly for dog stuff and some of my dirty oily dusty working on the farm, working in the shop or playing with the dogs clothes. If we had the right weather I would absolutely use clothes lines to dry clean clothes. But here in my part of the world that’s about 3 days per year. |

220 volt teapot. No place in the house to plug that SOB in. Worthless.

It's an inside joke, aimed at Yadkin. He re-wired his wife's dressing area so she could have a 220 volt Euro style teapot. We teased him about it, but he had a video and it boiled water cold from the tap in about 40 seconds flat. Impressive as heck.

I am jealous! I have always wanted two washers and two dryers but it never happened.

I love the idea because I'm going to have an outside shower on the back of the garage where the W&D will be...I can throw my dirty clothes in the washer and hop in the shower without ever going inside the house. My wife is ecstatic about this. |
