I think I just realized my problem... When I defrost the fridge theres always a little piece of foam floating in the drain. Theres various pieces of foam in the freezer supporting various tubes and such. I think the foam breaks down and migrates to the drain hole where it blocks enough water to

Re: [MBZ] Isetta restoration on BAT

Nothing pointless about it. Isetta is outta sight on the cool factor! Pull up to the beach in an Isetta, and you will draw a crowd, probably a bigger crowd than a mere 15 window VW transporter that was perfectly restored. R26 engine I think. I don't remember the date for the switch from R26

Re: [MBZ] Fixing floors

I suspect it's all up to who you hire. We've used inspectors on every purchase or sale we've done since 1986, and every one of them has been great. We vet them carefully and always get references, which may have something to do with our success. The last one we used spent over four hours on our

Re: [MBZ] The hits just keep on coming

Curt. The freezer drain freezing up has a simple fix. BTDT. The answer is a small kit to attach a strip of metal from the defroster coil to the entrance to the drain at the lower rear of the freezer. YMMV. Fred. Fred Moir. Lynn MA. Diesel preferred. From: M

Having gone around our house with the inspector I'm inclined to agree. Also for stuff like water intrusion in the basement he was just wrong. "Oh this basement doesn't look like its ever had any water." they had painted it. Now having lived there I can see how the yard was sloped all wrong, the

We put peel and stick hardwood patterned flooring in the bunkhouse at camp. Its been 4 or 5 years now and it still looks perfect. It was cheap and easy to install. I'd do it again for somewhere I wasn't going to live.  Our house has original 1938 hardwood which has "character" so I'd never replac
