    You can use a flex hose. It makes life a lot easier. You still want to anchor the diswasher to something or else it's harder to open and shut the door.

    Good call. It's about that age I think. A replacement board was outrageous. I just went with a Whirlpool for a decent price at Lowe's. Plus the people that lived here before us decided it was a good idea to get a white dishwasher when every other appliance is stainless. Can finally rectify that...

    My dishwasher's control board bit the dust I think. It continuously stops halfway though the rinse cycle, shuts off, then restarts the rinse cycle. It's a Kitchenaid W10579098 A I believe. Does anybody have experience replacing one of these boards? I assume it's as simple as taking the inside of...

    When is the release date on this? I see websites saying August 25th, but then I go to find showtimes and there's nothing. Is it a limited release?

    Most thieves go for the path of least resistance though. They'll pass on breaking a window if someone else's door opens with no fuss. I think I read somewhere that houses without fences are even less likely to be robbed.

    I figure I'll start this off fresh. I'm in a 12 man league where we can take a keeper from the prior year in the 8th round. My eligible keepers are either Tevin Coleman or Terrance West. Positions are: QB - 1 RB - 1 RB/WR - 1 WR - 2 TE - 1 FLEX - 1 D/ST - 1 No kicker. I was leaning toward...

    You might need an international driving permit as well. I'm not really sure how they count the 300 mile rule. Why not just see if you can pay a tour company and worry a bit less about everything involved?

    Credit Score Question

    Paying interest on a CC to boost credit is a terrible idea. For instance, I have a card due on the 4th. I pay everything I spend in the prior month from the 1st to the xx(whatever it happens to end on). Then whatever I spend in that 4 days goes on the next statement interest free. It also is...

    Where I live they really only have lot size, age, and exterior condition to go off of. Every five years or so someone from the county goes around and takes pictures of the homes. Then they assess the updated values based on that. Renovating the interior wouldn't really tip them off until you...

    You'll be able to use that income once you have two years of regularly receiving bonuses, and whoever fills out your employment verification checks the box that bonuses are likely to continue. The lender would just average the two years. Obviously it won't work for you since you're looking for a...

    How much income is enough?

    If you'll potentially be hitting six figures, and you're already comfortable on your current budget, you might was well max your 401(k) at $18k each year. If you get an HSA max that as well. It sounds callous, but you should prioritize your own retirement before you do college savings, etc...

    I think in Seattle people go pants on head retarded when snow touches the ground. Your current cars are going to handle snow better than a truck. An SUV may be a little better since there is some extra weight over the rear wheels. I live in Ohio where we actually get snow regularly. I've never...

    Hobby losses are a Schedule A deduction with a 2% limitation. You can only deduct up to the gross income gained from the hobby during the year(remember gross is different than net), and then only the amount that exceeds two percent of your AGI can be used. You don't actually have to report the...

    Those don't typically apply to other models, but you won't actually pay $259. Sales tax on the purchase price and such will get rolled into that payment. Then they're going to nitpick at turn in and hit you with a ridiculous bill.

    I'm closing on a house at the end of February. For my USDA-RD loan all the lender wanted was the typical two years of tax returns and W-2s, two months of bank statements, and one month of pay stubs. I'm sure VA isn't going to want much more than that, since they're both federally backed. My...

    Matt Barkley appears to be the best matchup for a QB on waivers this week. If I get him, do you think he'd be worth starting over Bortles or Bradford? The only other quarterbacks available are Matt Moore, Carson Wentz, RG3, and Jared Goff.

    I don't blame them for sitting out some pointless bowl. Look at Jaylon Smith for all the evidence we need on that front, even though he says he'd do it all over again. I'd be a little miffed if a star player sat out a playoff game, but their career trumps our enjoyment I feel.

    Yeah it's been a real fluky year for me. It's a 12 man league with standard scoring. The league average points scored is 85. I'm right there at 84, but my average points against is 71. That swing has put my shitty team on the doorstep of the championship. The payout is $775 for 1st, $375 for...

    Can't decide whether to play Gurley or Tevin Coleman this week. Somehow I got a bye week with one of the worst teams my league. Edit: After looking more. I should probably bench Meredith and put Gurley at Flex.
