you can get a 3 prong plug to replace the 4 prong plug on the dryer. It costs about $7 and it takes about 5 minutes of setup. My old apartment had a 4 prong outlet, so our dryer was setup with the 4 prong. Our house has a 3 prong, so i had to make the switch. If memory serves me correctly, the ground wire shares a post iwth another wire in the 3 prong setup. It's honestly a breeze to do.

it was late... discuss further at www.sabrespace.com. It's the sister site to TBD, so there's a lot of cross membership. SDS did a great job with the site, it runs on the same engine as this site, the members post intelligent thoughts and opinions, and i've just shamelessly plugged for the day.

no, its definitely coming in that window... there's a window above it with no damage around and the roof vent is above that. I was up in the attic looking to see if it was coming in there and it wasn't. I've pretty much isolated it to an area around that bottom leaky window. The mortar is discolored around it and there's a couple cracks, so the contractor and I both thought that the culprit was in a slight crack in the mortar or just the bricks themselves seeping in the water. It only leaks during driving hurricane force rains blowing from the east, and only after a period of time... usually around 2-3 hours. It's only leaked on me 3 times in 2 years also, so its definitely channeling in slowly from direct rain, then when the moisture has made a bridge, surface tension and physics takes over. As for damage under, i've removed the baseboards and looked behind the drywall... using a mirror, digital camera, and a flashlight, i've determined there's no water damage under there. the studs look as good as new. This is why i believe its a moisture thing through the bricks and around an improper seal on the inside of the outside wall, not the seal on the outside of the outside wall. The brick sealant makes a lot of sense to me. He also suggested using clear silicone caulk to seal up minor imperfefctions in the mortar around one brick near the top of that window which may also be letting water seap in quicker. As the guy said, if that fails, there's a definite plan B, so it sounds like a great opportunity for me to inhale some fumes and waste a good saturday afternoon!

So, i had a contractor who specializes in home additions and kitchen renovations come over as a favor from a friend to check out my leaky window. Here's the situation: i have a window that leaks around the interior frame starting from the top, and dripping down to the bottom. It also leaks on the inside of the frame and the water pools out under the baseboards, which has damaged the laminant parquet flooring. The outside of the house is brick, and the window is sealed perfectly to the brick. The guy said that there's a gap between the brick and the outside of the wall and that water absorbs through the brick and is leaking through an improper seal into this inner wall and window, leaking through to the inside of the house. He states that the cheapest solution is to get a brick sealant from a masonry supply warehouse ($150 for 5 gallon bucket) and coat the entire front brick of the house with it and it should solve the problem. He didn't state the name of the stuff (probably because he didn't want to advertise the stuff, but that was obvious) but stated that he used it on his own house and it works like wax on a car or thompson's water sealer on wood or concrete... the water beads up and rolls off. He then stated that if it didn't work, the window would have to comeo out so it could be sealed properly when replaced, with the cost around $1000... Said that someone in his company would do it, but not him since he specialized in other stuff. The guy is credible, and his story sounds credible... for $150, i'll obviously give it a shot myself, which he highly recommended. So, to all you armchair contractors, is this a viable option, or should i find someone to replace the window? If this option sounds good, anyone know of a good product name, since this guy was unwilling to help me on a product? He did give me the place to go to get it though, so i don't know about that... Seems like good advice, but i'd love to hear some answers here!

Unfortunately, i don't think Reed gets in before Monk. Cris Carter is up next year too, but i'd take Andre over Carter. At least we know a certain DE will make it next year. -

The primary implication of Favre not retiring

Bledsoe's stats indicate that he's a sure hall of famer, but no way does he go in on his first ballot. That is plain silly. -
I was slightly disappointed with the new program. The reasons were bogus (one was that buffalo was a crappy city compared to dallas, ny, and washington). I did enjoy seeing the footage of the playoff games at rich stadium in the snow. That was neat.

Vista has gotten some mixed reaction. Some are calling it windows millenium v.2. Personally, i think the OS will be just fine, just like XP has been. I'm going to order my copy of vista today, but as i wrote in the sabrespace thread about vista, i'm definitely not going to install it right away. Wondering how many of you guys will soon be upgrading (or if there's anyone out there who was able to get a midnight copy and already has it up?) BTW, my ordered copy will be free... I recently got a laptop that has a free upgrade to the business edition. To hell if i'm paying extra for an OS!

I was given an acoustic guitar as a wedding gift 2 years ago... never played before. I did the guitar for dummies book to learn the simple chords and such, and i've been playing off and on for most of the 2 and a half years. As of last week, i was to the point where i was halfway decent at simple chord progressions, fingerpicking my way through simple solos, and basically playing by ear rather than ultimate-guitar.com! So, a co worker lent me her son's electric guitar and amp and the thing is ridiculously easy to play. I've taught myself most of george thorogood's songs with my slide (slide electric with the amp cranked sounds pretty friggin sweet), and its sorta like playing hockey against the high school remedial gym class. My question to all the guitar players out there, is electric supposed to be 100x easier than acoustic? I've read that you're supposed to learn on an accoustic because its harder, but this is ridiculous!

I got a guitar as a wedding gift. I'd never touched the guitar before that day, but i had told my wife i was always interested in playing it. Cool gift... and 3 years later, i'm halfway decent.
