Hi all This is a touchy subject because there are those that would have all maintenance carried out by a tradesperson and others that do anything they want including 240V stuff. DO NOT EVER DO YOU OWN 240 volt WORK!!! Get an electrician This has been repeated over and over, its worth your life to comply....

The choice is between stainless steel or cast iron. would like to hear your opinion of which brand and what type is the very best....

How good it was to see halfpint (Patty) come and visit last night, on her short trip home for Christmas. She is back to Tassy today to attend her sister's funeral, and help the rest of the family. Then she can come home, and spend time with her family - her real family as well as her Nomad family!!!!

I'm always tinkering with my 3 way fridge to improve performance. The latest mod was a dismal failure. In my case the top vent of the fridge is too low with about half of it not above the fins.
