I hate that fridges seem to all have the condenser underneath these days. Logically it's a really stupid location and in most cases results in needing a fan. I *think* our freezer uses the top to radiate heat, at least the top of it gets really warm... -Curt On Saturday, December 4, 2021,

I've seen those, but the one I got has plastic louvers that look a bit like venetian blinds. They seem to close up pretty well, of course that may change when the lint starts building up. It only protrudes an inch or so from the house. On Sun, Dec 5, 2021, at 9:27 AM, dan penoff.com via

Maybe but it's a short tube. The dryer is against an outside wall so it vents straight out the back and through the wall. Incidentally the noise from the fridge was getting worse, so I took the back panel off and it was pretty clearly the condensor fan that was making the noise. I removed the

May have figured out where the little f---ers are getting in. The dryer vent is missing one of the flaps that are supposed to close when the dryer isn't running. It's only a few inches above ground level. And I have caught several of them in traps set the laundry room. I picked up a new vent

Our house up north has terrible mouse issues, it's got a million little holes I need to fix, replacing the enclosed porch floor being job 1 next year. For this year I put a package of "Grandpa Gus" anti-mouse stuff in there. Each pouch is supposed to protect 50 square feet. The house got 9

Living in the country I fight an endless battle against mice invading the house. I am not sure where they get in but there must be an opening somewhere that I haven't discovered. I heard one the other night and set some traps, but caught nothing. Today the refrigerator was making a noise so I
